L_CubismBitmap (original) (raw)

Summary

Remaps the bitmap into a collection of rotated rectangles (cubic faces) so that it appears to have been created in the Cubist art style.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_CubismBitmap(pBitmap, uSpace, uLength, nBrightness, nAngle, crColor, uFlags)

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to be changed.

L_UINT uSpace

Space between cubes, in pixels. As uSpace decreases the concentration of cubes increases and vice versa. The valid range is from 1 to the image or region dimension (that is, min(Height, Width))

L_UINT uLength

Cube side length, in pixels.

L_INT nBrightness

A value that indicates the brightness of the bitmap. This value can be a number between -1000 and 1000. Negative values darken the image and positive values lighten the image.

L_INT nAngle

The cubes angle of orientation, in hundredths of a degree (+/-). This value is ignored if the CUB_RAND flag has been set in uFlags. Possible values are from36000 to 36000.

COLORREF crColor

The COLORREF value that specifies the background color. This value is ignored if the CUB_BKG flag has been set in uFlags.

L_UINT uFlags

Flags that indicate the background color, cube shape and cube orientation. You can use a bit wise OR ( | ) to specify one flag from each group.

Value	Meaning
Background color:
CUB_BKG	[0x0001] Use the image itself as the background.
CUB_COLOR	[0x0002] Use the color in the crColor member as the background color.
Cubes shape:
CUB_SQR	[0x0010] Cubes will have square shape.
CUB_RECT	[0x0020] Cubes will have rectangular shape.
Cubes orientation:
CUB_RAND	[0x0100] Cubes will have random orientation.
CUB_ORNT	[0x0200] All cubes will have the orientation specified by the nAngle value.

Returns

Value	Meaning
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.

This function remaps the bitmap into a collection of rotated rectangles (cubic faces), producing an image in a Cubist style.

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

uSpace = 5
uLength = 10
nBrightness = 0
nAngle = 0
crColor = RGB(0,0,0)
uFlags = CUB_BKG|CUB_RAND|CUB_RECT

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.

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.

Example

The following example loads a bitmap and applies the cubism function to it:

L_INT CubismBitmapExample(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("Image2.jpg")), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL); if (nRet != SUCCESS) return nRet; /* Apply cubism*/ nRet = L_CubismBitmap(&LeadBitmap, 20, 30, 200, 4500, RGB(255, 0, 0), CUB_COLOR | CUB_RECT | CUB_RAND); 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; }
