L_ConvertBitmapUnsignedToSigned

Summary

Converts an unsigned bitmap to signed.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_ConvertBitmapUnsignedToSigned(pBitmap, uFlags)

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap.

L_UINT uFlags

Flag that indicates how to process bits outside the low bit to high bit range. Possible values are:

Value Meaning
PROCESS_RANGE_ONLY [0x0001] Shift data by adding half the range to each pixel without changing bits outside the (LowBit-HighBit) range.
PROCESS_OUTSIDE_RANGE [0x0002] Shift data by adding half the range to each pixel and set to zero all bits outside the (LowBit-HighBit) range.

Returns

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

Comments

This function updates pBitmap->MaxVal and pBitmap-> MinVal with new values that reflect the bitmap's new signed data. In addition, the pBitmap->Flags.Signed value will be set to one.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is available in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

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.

Required DLLs and Libraries

Platforms

Win32, x64, Linux.
