HANDLE CALLBACK FilterDifference (             HDIB     hDIB,
BYTE     nDirection,
int           iShowProgress,
HWND  hParent)

Description

This function will first shift the input image in the specified direction and afterwards it will subtract the shifted image from the original. This algorithm is often used to detect simple edges easily. This function works for only 1, 8 and 24 bit per pixel images.

Examples

dwfasdf                                                  edge

The original 180 x 210 pixel image and the difference filtered image with nDirection = DIFF_NORTHWEST_SOUTHEAST.

Parameters

HDIB

hDIB

Handle of the DIB to filter.

BYTE

nDirection

Shifting direction.

Available values:

DIFF_HORIZONTAL (0)                                                                           Horizontal

DIFF_VERTICAL (1)                                                                                  Vertical

DIFF_NORTHWEST_SOUTHEAST (2)           North-West

DIFF_NORTHEAST_SOUTHWEST (2)           North-East

int

iShowProgress

This parameter specifies the displaying of the progressbar and the preview dialog.

Available values:

DISPLAY_NONE (0)     -     The progressbar and the preview dialog will not display before filtering.

DISPLAY_PROGRESS (1) -The progressbar will display during filtering procedure.

DISPLAY_DIALOG (2)      -                                   The preview dialog will display before filtering. This dialog shows the part of the image before and after filtering.

DISPLAY_BOTH (3)     -     The progressbar and the preview dialog will display.

IMPORTANT: The preview dialog will only display, if there is BiDlgs.dll installed.

HWND

hParent

Handler of the parent window.

Return values

The handle of the new filtered DIB or NULL if an error occurred.
