The SETIMAGEBRIGHTNESS statement alters the brightness of an image. This statement works in exactly the same way as any brightness tool in a paint package such as Paintshop Pro.

Parameters

MyImage

A variable declared as type IMAGE and previously associated with a bitmap image using the CREATEIMAGE statement.

Brightness

A value from -100.0 to +100.0 specifying the brightness value to apply. All values below 0.0 darken the image, all values above 0.0 lighten the image.

 

Return Value

True if altering the brightness succeeded, otherwise False.

Example Code

image MyImage;
if(createimage(MyImage, "C:\\MyBitmap.bmp") == TRUE)
{
    // Darken the image
    setimagebrightness(MyImage, -20);
}
