YCCRevVariant (ImageKit Control/ Effect Method)

This method reverses the YCrCb values of a raster image.

[Visual Basic] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.Effect.YCCRevVariant(x As Variant, y As Variant, Yb As Boolean, Cr As Boolean, Cb As Boolean)

[VB.NET] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.Effect.YCCRevVariant(ByRef x As Object, ByRef y As Object, Yb As Boolean, Cr As Boolean, Cb As Boolean)

[C#.NET] [ bool = ]imagekitcontrolname.Effect.YCCRevVariant(ref object x, ref object y, bool Yb, bool Cr, bool Cb)

Parameters

Name	Explanation
x	An array of x coordinate values defining points of a polygonal area on the image. (in pixels) * (see Note below)
y	An array of y coordinate values defining points of a polygonal area on the image. (in pixels) * (see Note below)
Yb	Reverses the Y component (luminance) of the YCrCb value (False(0): does not reverse value, True( nonzero): reverses value)
Cr	Reverses the Cr component (chrominance) of the YCrCb value (False(0): does not reverse value, True( nonzero): reverses value)
Cb	Reverses the Cb component (chrominance) of the YCrCb value (False(0): does not reverse value, True( nonzero): reverses value)
* NOTE for retrieving array values: In Visual Basic / VB.NET, if the array is defined as Dim x(0 To 2), then the arguments are returned in x. In C#.NET the arguments are returned in ref x.

Return Value

Returns True (nonzero) if successful, otherwise returns False (0).

Explanation

The YCCRevVariant method reverses the YCrCb values of a raster image. If the Yb, Cr, or Cb parameters are True, then that component of the YCrCb value is reversed. So, for example, the reverse of a Yb component = 255 would be a Yb component = 0. (Yb = 255 - Yb)

This method is recommended when using scripting or other languages that require variant types or when using 64 bit builds in VB.NET or C#.

To execute the YCCRevVariant method, set the image handle of the image in the ImageHandle property or the Layer(LayerNo).ImageHandle property. The YCCRevVariant method supports 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 bit images.

Before executing the YCCRevVariant method, you must set the area on the image that will be affected. There are 4 ways to do this.

To use a mask image, set the SelectMode property to 0. Set the mask image handle in the MaskImageHandle property
To process the total image, set the SelectMode property to 1
To process the polygonal area on the image, set the SelectMode property to 2. Select the polygon by setting the appropriate coordinate values for the points of the polygon in two arrays, one array for the x coordinate values and one array for the y coordinate values. The pass these arrays to the x and y arguments of the YCCRevVariant method. The number of points defining the polygon must be 3 or more
To process an elliptical area on the image, set the SelectMode property to 3. Select the ellipse by setting the appropriate values for the bounding rectangle in the RectLeft, RectTop, RectRight, and RectBottom properties

When the SelectMode property is set to values other than 2 (ikEffectPolygon), please set dummy arrays in the x and y parameters.
When the SelectMode property is set to 2 or 3, the appropriate value must be set in the InOut property. When a 1, 4, or 8 bit image is processed, the total image will be processed regardless of the value set in the SelectMode property.

If successful the resulting raster image data is set in the LayerNo property (the ImageHandle property or the Layer(LayerNo).ImageHandle property. If unsuccessful, 0 is returned.

When the Caption, Message, and ButtonName properties are blank, the progress dialog box will not be displayed. When the progress dialog box is displayed, the percentage that the processing has completed will be shown in the dialog box.
