L_LensFlareBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGSFX_API L_INT L_LensFlareBitmap(pBitmap, ptCenter, uBright, uFlags, crColor)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

/* pointer to the bitmap handle */

POINT ptCenter;

/* effect center point */

L_UINT uBright;

/* brightness factor */

L_UINT uFlags;

/* flag */

COLORREF crColor;

/* color value */

Simulates the secondary reflections caused when bright lights are facing the camera lens. The lens flare is refracted into a series of lightened circles that surround the flare.

Parameter

Description

pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which to apply the effect.

ptCenter

POINT structure that contains the point around which the effect is centered.

uBright

The brightness of the flare. This value is divided internally by 100. This parameter affects the brightness of both the flare, and any lightened circles surrounding the flare.

uFlags

Flag that indicates the lens type. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

LNS_TYPE_1

[0x0000] Standard lens.

 

LNS_TYPE_2

[0x0001] Moderate wide-angle lens.

 

LNS_TYPE_3

[0x0002] Moderate telephoto lens.

crColor

The COLORREF value that represents the color of the main flare.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

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.

Secondary reflections are caused when bright lights are facing the camera lens. These reflections can show up as spots or banding. The function adds this effect to the bitmap by controlling their number, position, brightness and size of the spots or banding. Each lens type has its own spot distribution and ray thickness.

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 in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to L_SetStatusCallback.

To obtain this effect, the following settings were used with the function:

ptCenter = (150, 162);
uBright = 100;
uFlags = LNS_TYPE_1;
crColor = RGB(255,128,0);

This function does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.
