DIBitmap Rotating and flipping

Rotate (angle)

Create a new rotated Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (8,24,32 bits only)

This function rotates an 8-bit greyscale, 24- or 32-bit image by means of 3 shears. The angle of rotation is specified by the angle parameter in degrees. Rotation occurs around the center of the image area. Rotated image retains size and aspect ratio of source image (destination image size is usually bigger), so that this function should be used when rotating an image by 90°, 180° or 270°.

RotateEx (angle, x_shift, y_shift, x_origin, y_origin, use_mask)

Create a new rotated/translated Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (8,24,32 bits only)

This function performs a rotation and / or translation of an 8-bit greyscale, 24- or 32-bit image, using a 3rd order (cubic) B-Spline. The rotated image will have the same width and height as the source image, so that this function is better suited for computer vision and robotics. The angle of rotation is specified by the angle parameter in degrees. Horizontal and vertical image translations (in pixel units) are specified by the x_shift and y_shift parameters. Rotation occurs around the center specified by x_origin and y_origin, also given in pixel units. When use_mask is set to TRUE, the irrelevant part of the image is set to a black color, otherwise, a mirroring technique is used to fill irrelevant pixels.

FlipHorizontal ()

Flip DIBitmap dib horizontally along the vertical axis.

FlipVertical ()

Flip DIBitmap vertically along the horizontal axis.

DIBitmap UpSampling / DownSampling

Rescale (new_width, new_heigth, filter=FILTER_BOX)

Create a new size Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (32 bits only)

This function performs resampling (or scaling, zooming) of a 32-bit image to the desired destination width and height. Resampling refers to changing the pixel dimensions (and therefore display size) of an image. When you downsample (or decrease the number of pixels), information is deleted from the image. When you upsample (or increase the number of pixels), new pixels are added based on color values of existing pixels. You specify an interpolation filter to determine how pixels are added or deleted.

The following filters can be used as resampling filters: FILTER_BOX = Box, pulse, Fourier window, 1st order (constant) B-Spline FILTER_BILINEAR = Bilinear filter FILTER_BSPLINE = 4th order (cubic) B-Spline FILTER_BICUBIC = Mitchell and Netravali's two-param cubic filter FILTER_CATMULLROM = Catmull-Rom spline, Overhauser spline FILTER_LANCZOS3 = Lanczos-windowed sinc filter

DIBitmap Color manipulation

AdjustGamma (gamma)

Adjust Gamma of Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (8,24,32 bits only)

The gamma parameter represents the gamma value to use (gamma > 0). A value of 1.0 leaves the image alone, less than one darkens it, and greater than one lightens it.

AdjustBrightness (percentage)

Adjust Brightness of Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (8,24,32 bits only)

Adjusts the brightness of a 8-, 24- or 32-bit image by a certain amount. This amount is given by the percentage parameter, where percentage is a value between [-100..100]. A value 0 means no change, less than 0 will make the image darker and greater than 0 will make the image brighter.

AdjustContrast (percentage)

Adjust ContrastCreate of Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (8,24,32 bits only)

Adjusts the contrast of a 8-, 24- or 32-bit image by a certain amount. This amount is given by the percentage parameter, where percentage is a value between [-100..100]. A value 0 means no change, less than 0 will decrease the contrast and greater than 0 will increase the contrast of the image.

Invert ()

Inverts each pixel data.

GetHistogram (channel)

Return a histogram array[0..255] of a Win32::GUI::DIBitmap (8,24,32 bits only)

Computes the image histogram. For 24-bit and 32-bit images, histogram can be computed from red, green, blue and black channels. For 8-bit images, histogram is computed from the black channel.
