Shift16To8 Method
Syntax
CWIMAQVision.Shift16To8 SourceImage, DestImage, ShiftValue
Return Type
On success, this method returns 0. On failure, this function returns a negative number.
Purpose
Obsolete—Use Cast instead. Converts a 16-bit image to an 8-bit image. This conversion is done by shifting the 16-bit pixel values right by the specified number of shift operations, which must be between 1 and 8, and then truncating the result to get an 8-bit value.
Remarks
This function operates on images of type U16 or I16.
Parameters
SourceImage As CWIMAQImage
The 16-bit image from which the 8-bit image is obtained.
DestImage As CWIMAQImage
The resulting image.
ShiftValue As Integer
The number of right shifts (between 1 and 8) by which each pixel value in the input image is shifted before being truncated.
