Hello, I am using Graphics Mill version 4. My problem is I need to clamp all the data in CMYK channels to either 0 or 100%. So I copy the channel bitmap data to another bitmap object, do a levels color reduction, then copy the bitmap data into the appropriate channel in the CMYK image. Code:
Dim channelData As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.BitMap
channelData = image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Black)
channelData.ColorAdjustment.Levels( _
0.0, 1.0, 0.499999, 5.0, 0.500001, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.HistogramMode.Luminosity)
image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Black) = channelData
channelData = image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Yellow)
channelData.ColorAdjustment.Levels( _
0.0, 1.0, 0.499999, 5.0, 0.500001, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.HistogramMode.Luminosity)
image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Yellow) = channelData
channelData = image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Magenta)
channelData.ColorAdjustment.Levels( _
0.0, 1.0, 0.499999, 5.0, 0.500001, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.HistogramMode.Luminosity)
image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Magenta) = channelData
channelData = image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Cyan)
channelData.ColorAdjustment.Levels( _
0.0, 1.0, 0.499999, 5.0, 0.500001, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.HistogramMode.Luminosity)
image.Channels(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.ColorChannel.Cyan) = channelData
This works pretty good, but the Levels ColorAdjustment *always* applies a FloydSteinberg dither, which gives little stray pixels across the image that wouldn't be there it I normally just clamp all the pixel values based on 0 <= .5 > 1.0 A simple Threshold filter will give me what I am looking for. Is this possible in version 4 without iterating through all the pixel data manually? Thanks for your response. Edited by moderator Monday, May 28, 2012 8:35:36 PM(UTC)

Hello, This functionality is not available in Graphics Mill but you can easily implement it. All you need is to copy pixels from on bitmap into another one applying threshold. The article Accessing Pixel Data will help you to implement this functionality. Edited by user Tuesday, October 28, 2008 6:21:27 AM(UTC)

Thank you for the tip. This works much better than I had originally guessed it would perform.

In the interest of giving back to the forum, here is the subroutine that I made to do a threshold filter per your suggestion. Note that this subroutine assumes a 8bppGrayScale bitmap. I did it this way because I am processing individual CMYK channels. With a bit of work, this threshold subroutine could be modified to work on any bitmap. Code: Public Sub ApplyThreshold(ByRef bitmap As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap, ByVal threshold As Integer)
' Get and lock the raw data for the bitmap
Dim data As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.BitmapData = bitmap.LockBits()
' How many bytes one pixel occupies
Dim pixelSize As Integer = data.BitsPerPixel / 8
' Number of bytes in a row
Dim stride As Integer = data.Stride
' Number of rows
Dim height As Integer = data.Height
' Pointer to the beginning of the pixel data region
Dim pointer As IntPtr = data.Scan0
' Array to represent a single pixel
Dim pixel(pixelSize - 1) As Byte
Dim i, j As Integer
For i = 0 To height - 1
j = 0
Do While j < stride
' Read a single pixel
Marshal.Copy(pointer, pixel, 0, pixelSize)
' Now modify the pixel, in this case clamp to 0 or max based on the threshold value
If pixel(0) > threshold Then
pixel(0) = 255
Else
pixel(0) = 0
End If
' Write back the pixel data
Marshal.Copy(pixel, 0, pointer, pixelSize)
' Compute the memory location of the next pixel
pointer = IntPtr.op_Explicit(pointer.ToInt32 + pixelSize)
j = j + pixelSize
Loop
Next i
bitmap.UnlockBits(data)
End Sub

Thank you very much for your sample. I move this post to Knowledge base. |
