Detailed Description

WU quantizer class.

Library: display

This class provides methods to convert true color images to indexed images using a computed colormap. The method used is known as the WU method (see Graphics Gems Vol II), which gives very good results at reasonable speed. This method is the default method used by the Views library to create an IlvBitmap from true color bitmap data on indexed displays.

IlvColorMap* IlvWUQuantizer::computeColorMap ( const IlvBitmapData *  data, IlUInt  numcolors  )

virtual

Computes the colormap from the original true color bitmap data.

Parameters

data	The original true color bitmap data.
numcolors	The requested number of colors.

Returns

The computed colormap. It has at most numcolors colors.
