LBitmap::ChangeSaturation

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::ChangeSaturation(nChange)

L_INT nChange;

/* amount to change saturation */

Increases or decreases the saturation of colors in the class object's bitmap.

Parameter

Description

nChange

Amount to change saturation. Values are percentages between -100 and +100.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Negative values decrease the saturation of colors. Positive values increase the saturation. The saturation level is increased or decreased by a percentage of its present saturation level. For example, an increase of 20% of the current saturation level "L" will raise the new saturation level "L1" to a value L + 0.20 * L. Likewise, increasing the saturation level 100% doubles the saturation level ( L1 = L + 1.0 * L). Decreasing the saturation level 100% will set the new saturation level to 0. This process is carried out for every pixel.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.
