| __int3264 | DataBuffer |
Determines the result data buffer of a specific plane of an image. The LightMeter Control generates a histogram for each plane of an image (only if the ProcessFlag property is TRUE for this plane) to calculate the statistic image information. If a user wants to use this data in his application the DataBuffer property gives access to the histogram data. The DataBufferEntries and the DataBufferEntrySize properties can be used to determine the size and data type of the data buffer. The user is responsible to access this data buffer correctly. It returns the start address of the data buffer. To get the result data buffer of a specific plane simply switch to the plane with the PlaneIndex property before you use the DataBuffer properties. More... | |
| long | DataBufferEntries |
| Determines the number of entries in a result data buffer. To get the number of data buffer entries of a specific plane simply switch to the plane with the PlaneIndex property before you use the DataBufferEntries properties. More... | |

| long | Density |
| Determines the density used to process the data of a single plane. If an image has more than one plane the density can be different for each plane. This value influences the calculation of all statistical values as it determines the number of pixels used for calculation. To set or get the density of a specific plane simply switch to the plane with the PlaneIndex property before you use the Density property. To learn more about the density value please refer to the Common Vision Image Manager documentation. More... | |
| __int3264 | DGSList |
Determines the DGSList of an image. The LightMeter Control generates a DGSList data structure (Draw Graph Structure List). This simplifies the connection to a DrawGraph Control enormously. The LightMeter Control generates a DGS structure for each plane of an image. All together build a DGSList. To draw the results (data buffers) of a LightMeter Control simply connect the DGSList with the ConnectDGSList method of the DrawGraph Control to this tool. The data buffer of a plane is drawn only if the ProcessFlag property is TRUE for this plane. More... | |

| OLE_COLOR | GraphColor |
| Determines the graph color for data buffer if the DGSList is connected to a DrawGraph Control. To simplify the drawing of the LightMeter Control data with a DrawGraph Control this property allows to set the graph color of the data buffer for each plane of a image independently. To set or get the graph color of a specific plane simply switch to the plane with the PlaneIndex property before you use the GraphColor property. More... | |
| __int3264 | Image |

| long | ImageDimension |
| Determines the dimension of an image. The value 1 stands for gray scale images the value 3 for true color images. Many functions expect as parameter an index to the plane to be processed. This value ranges from 0 to the image dimension-1. More... | |
| long | PlaneIndex |
| Determines the plane of an image. Whenever a plane specific parameter (e.g. Density) has to be accessed the PlaneIndex property has to be changed to the specific plane first. More... | |
| BOOL | ProcessFlag |
| Specifies the process flag of a specific plane of an image. This flag enables or disables the calculation of any data of a specific plane. If you have e.g. a RGB image but only the red plane should be processed simply disable the process flag of the green and blue plane.

| double | SVStdDev |
Determines the standard deviation of all pixels in the selected area of a specific plane. The SVStdDev property describes the standard deviation in the selected area of a specific plane (only if the ProcessFlag property is TRUE for this plane).

To get the standard deviation of a specific plane simply switch to the plane with the PlaneIndex property before you use the SVStdDev property. More... | |
| double | SVTotal |
Determines the total number of pixels in the AOI used for computing the histogram.

readonly |
Determines the result data buffer of a specific plane of an image. The LightMeter Control generates a histogram for each plane of an image (only if the ProcessFlag property is TRUE for this plane) to calculate the statistic image information. If a user wants to use this data in his application the DataBuffer property gives access to the histogram data. The DataBufferEntries and the DataBufferEntrySize properties can be used to determine the size and data type of the data buffer. The user is responsible to access this data buffer correctly. It returns the start address of the data buffer. To get the result data buffer of a specific plane simply switch to the plane with the PlaneIndex property before you use the DataBuffer properties.

| long DataType |
Returns the data type of the specified plane of an image. The individual bits of the data type are as follows:
.
| 31 ... | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Reserved | O | F | S | Bits/Pixel | ||||||||
Where
S = Signed
F = Float (only for 32 or 64 bits/pixel)
O = Overlay bit
An 8-bit unsigned image therefore has a data type of 8. For a signed 32-bit image it is 32 + 256, and for a double image it is 64 + 512.
The number of bits/pixel relates only to a plane of the image, the data type is therefore 8 for every plane of a 24-bit RGB image and NOT 24.
