mediaLib Library Functions              mlibImageMulAlpha(3MLIB)



NAME
     mlibImageMulAlpha - alpha channel multiplication

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
     #include 

     mlibstatus mlibImageMulAlpha(mlibimage *dst, const mlibimage *src,
          mlibs32 cmask);


DESCRIPTION
     The mlibImageMulAlpha() function multiplies color  channels
     by the alpha channel on a pixel by pixel basis.


     For the MLIBYTE image, it uses the following equation:

       dst[x][y][c] = src[x][y][c] * src[x][y][a] * 2**(-8)



     For the MLIBSHORT image, it uses the following equation:

       dst[x][y][c] = src[x][y][c] * src[x][y][a] * 2**(-15)



     For the MLIBUSHORT image, it uses the following equation:

       dst[x][y][c] = src[x][y][c] * src[x][y][a] * 2**(-16)



     For the MLIBINT image, it uses the following equation:

       dst[x][y][c] = src[x][y][c] * src[x][y][a] * 2**(-31)



     where c and a are the indices for the color channels and the
     alpha channel, respectively, so c != a.

PARAMETERS
     The function takes the following arguments:

     dst      Pointer to destination image.


     src      Pointer to source image.

     cmask    Channel mask to indicate the  alpha  channel.  Each
              bit  of the mask represents a channel in the image.
              The channel corresponding to the 1 bit of cmask  is
              the alpha channel.


RETURN VALUES
     The function returns MLIBSUCES if  successful.  Otherwise
     it returns MLIBFAILURE.
