L_DesaturateBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_DesaturateBitmap(pBitmap, uFlags)

Converts the image to a grayscale level by reducing the saturation of each color to zero. The conversion will not change the color resolution.

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

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

L_UINT32 uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

Value Meaning
SUCCESS The function was successful.
< 1 An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.
