GrayscaleTransformationModes

This parameter helps control the colour mode of the grayscale image. This parameter is very important when trying to read inverted barcodes. Barcodes typically are dark on a light background, but sometimes they might be inverted, resulting in a light barcode on a dark background. By default, the library is configured to detect the former. So if you are working with inverted barcodes, GrayscaleTransformationModes is the parameter to deal with them.

It consists of one or more modes, each mode represents a way to transform the grayscale image.

Candidate Mode List

GTM_ORIGINAL
GTM_INVERTED

GTM_ORIGINAL

Keeps the original grayscale. This mode has the following arguments for further customization.

LibraryFileName
LibraryParameters

GTM_INVERTED

Transforms the image to inverted grayscale. This mode is the one to use for inverted barcodes. It also has the following arguments for further customization.

LibraryFileName
LibraryParameters

Setting Methods

As `PublicRuntimeSettings` Member

GrayscaleTransformationModes can be set dynamically during runtime as a member of FurtherModes, which is a member of PublicRuntimeSettings struct, it is an array with 8 GrayscaleTransformationMode Enumeration items.

Code Snippet in C++

//...other codes
PublicRuntimeSettings* pSettings = new PublicRuntimeSettings;
int errorCode = reader->GetRuntimeSettings(pSettings);
pSettings->grayscaleTransformationModes[0] = GTM_ORIGINAL;
reader->UpdateRuntimeSettings(pSettings);
delete pSettings;
//...other codes

Remarks
GetModeArgument and SetModeArgument need to be called for getting and setting Arguments.
