L_BinaryFilterBitmap

Summary

Imposes a binary filter on a bitmap.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_BinaryFilterBitmap(pBitmap, pFilter, uFlags)

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to be affected.

pBINARYFLT pFilter

Pointer to the binary filter to use. You can use one of the following predefined filters:

Value	Meaning
BFLT_EROSION_OMNI BFLT_EROSION_HORZ BFLT_EROSION_VERT BFLT_EROSION_DIAG	[#define] Shrinks black objects in the image. The effect is biased in the specified direction.
BFLT_DILATION_OMNI BFLT_DILATION_HORZ BFLT_DILATION_VERT BFLT_DILATION_DIAG	[#define] Enlarges black objects in the image. The effect is biased in the specified direction.

Returns

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

Example

For complete sample code, refer to the CHILD.C module of the DEMO example.
This example loads a bitmap and dilates its black objects.

L_INT BinaryFilterBitmapExample(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("Image1.jpg")), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   /* Dilate black objects */ 
   nRet = L_BinaryFilterBitmap(&LeadBitmap, BFLT_DILATION_OMNI, 0); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   nRet = L_SaveBitmap(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("Result.BMP")), &LeadBitmap, FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   //free bitmap 
   if (LeadBitmap.Flags.Allocated) 
      L_FreeBitmap(&LeadBitmap); 
 
   return SUCCESS;
