MimFindExtreme

Specifies the identifier of the data source of the operation. This parameter must be given an image buffer identifier. The buffer must be 1-band.

This image buffer can have an ROI set using MbufSetRegion(). The ROI must be defined in raster format (M_RASTER or M_VECTOR_AND_RASTER). An error is generated if the ROI is only in vector format (M_VECTOR).

Specifies the identifier of the buffer in which to store the extreme values. This parameter must be given the identifier of an image processing result buffer that was allocated with MimAllocResult() and that has an M_EXTREME_LIST type. If just the maximum or minimum is calculated, only one entry is needed. If both the minimum and maximum are calculated, the result buffer must have two entries. The minimum value is stored in the first entry and the maximum value is stored in the second.

Specifies the type of extreme(s) to find.

To find the actual minimum and/or maximum pixel value(s) in the buffer, specify one or a combination of the values from the following table. For example, to find both the maximum and minimum values, set the ExtremeType parameter to M_MIN_VALUE + M_MAX_VALUE.

For specifying whether to find the minimum value, maximum value, or both
Value	Description
M_MAX_VALUE	Finds the maximum value.
M_MIN_VALUE	Finds the minimum value.

To find the minimum absolute value, maximum absolute value, or both, specify one or a combination of the values from the following table. For example, to find both the maximum absolute and minimum absolute values, set the ExtremeType parameter to M_MIN_ABS_VALUE + M_MAX_ABS_VALUE.

For specifying whether to find the minimum absolute value, maximum absolute value, or both
Value	Description
M_MAX_ABS_VALUE	Finds the maximum value, as an absolute value.
M_MIN_ABS_VALUE	Finds the minimum value, as an absolute value.
