Parameters

BITMAPHANDLE* pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that contains the MICR code.

L_RECT Inrc

Represents the area to be searched.

L_RECT* Outrc

Represents the location of the MICR zone that was detected.

L_UINT Flags

Reserved for future use.

Returns

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

Example

This example loads a bitmap and applies MICR detection filter.

L_INT MICRDetectionFilterBitmapExample(L_VOID) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
   BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap;   /* Bitmap handle to hold the loaded image. */ 
   /* Load the bitmap, keeping the bits per pixel of the file */ 
   nRet = L_LoadBitmap (MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("MICR_SAMPLE.tif")), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   /* Apply a MICR detection filter and return the location of the MICR code in Outrc rect*/ 
   L_RECT Inrc  = { 0, 0, 0, 0 } ; 
   L_RECT Outrc = { 0, 0, 0, 0 } ; 
 
   nRet = L_MICRDetection(&LeadBitmap, Inrc, &Outrc, 0); 
 
   //free bitmap 
   if(LeadBitmap.Flags.Allocated)   
      L_FreeBitmap(&LeadBitmap); 
 
   return nRet;
