Arguments:
| Name | Type | Description |
| hIGear | const HIGEAR | The HIGEAR handle to the image for which to create a histogram. |
| lpRect | const LPAT_RECT | A far pointer to a struct of type AT_RECT that defines the rectangular portion of the image to use for creating a histogram. Please see the ImageGear User's Manual if you are unfamiliar with this structure. |
| lpHisto | LPLONG | A far pointer to a buffer to be used for holding the histogram. |
| nBin_width | const WORD | An integer variable that specifies the range of pixel values to be counted into one bin. |
| dwBin_count | const DWORD | A DWORD variable that specifies the number of bins allocated. |
| lpSigned | LPBOOL | A far pointer to a BOOL that returns the sign status of the image. If it returns TRUE, the image is signed. |
| lpCount | LPLONG | A far pointer to a LONG which returns the number of pixels counted. |
Return Value:
Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during the function call.
Supported Raster Image Formats:
Grayscale – 8…16 bpp.
Remarks:
The histogram is returned in the memory block, lpHisto, allocated by the application. This memory block must be large enough to hold the histogram for the image. Each histogram bin must be 4 bytes wide. The size of lpHisto needed (in bytes) can be computed as follows:
size = ((possible_pixel_values) * 4) / nBin_width
where possible_pixel_values depends on the bit depth of the image (8g=256, 9g=512,...). nBin_width is used to determine the range of pixel values that are counted in their own bin. A value of 1 indicates that each pixel value is counted in its own histogram bin. A value of 2 would allow neighboring values (such as 128 and 129) to be counted as a single bin (as a single value). If nBin_width==possible_pixel_values then only a single histogram bin (4 bytes) is filled and the count will be equal to the number of pixel values in the lpRect.
nBin_count is used as a safety. This should be set to the number of bins in the histogram that your application has allocated. If a pixel value is going to overflow this memory it will be ignored. This pixel value will not be included in the sum returned in lpCount (you can use this to determine if any values were ignored).
