Returns :	TRUE on success.

gimp_levels ()

gboolean    gimp_levels                     (gint32 drawable_ID,

                                             gint high_output);

Modifies intensity levels in the specified drawable.

This tool allows intensity levels in the specified drawable to be remapped according to a set of parameters. The low/high input levels specify an initial mapping from the source intensities. The gamma value determines how intensities between the low and high input intensities are interpolated. A gamma value of 1.0 results in a linear interpolation. Higher gamma values result in more high-level intensities. Lower gamma values result in more low-level intensities. The low/high output levels constrain the final intensity mapping--that is, no final intensity will be lower than the low output level and no final intensity will be higher than the high output level. This tool is only valid on RGB color and grayscale images. It will not operate on indexed drawables.

`drawable_ID` :	The drawable.
`channel` :	The channel to modify.
`low_input` :	Intensity of lowest input.
`high_input` :	Intensity of highest input.
`gamma` :	Gamma correction factor.

`high_output` :	Intensity of highest output.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

Modify the color balance of the specified drawable. There are three axis which can be modified: cyan-red, magenta-green, and yellow-blue. Negative values increase the amount of the former, positive values increase the amount of the latter. Color balance can be controlled with the 'transfer_mode' setting, which allows shadows, midtones, and highlights in an image to be affected differently. The 'preserve_lum' parameter, if non-zero, ensures that the luminosity of each pixel remains fixed.

Returns information on the intensity histogram for the specified drawable.

This tool makes it possible to gather information about the intensity histogram of a drawable. A channel to examine is first specified. This can be either value, red, green, or blue, depending on whether the drawable is of type color or grayscale. The drawable may not be indexed. Second, a range of intensities are specified. The gimp_histogram function returns statistics based on the pixels in the drawable that fall under this range of values. Mean, standard deviation, median, number of pixels, and percentile are all returned. Additionally, the total count of pixels in the image is returned. Counts of pixels are weighted by any associated alpha values and by the current selection mask. That is, pixels that lie outside an active selection mask will not be counted. Similarly, pixels with transparent alpha values will not be counted.

`drawable_ID` :	The drawable.
`channel` :	The channel to modify.
`start_range` :	Start of the intensity measurement range.
`end_range` :	End of the intensity measurement range.
`mean` :	Mean itensity value.
`std_dev` :	Standard deviation of intensity values.
`median` :	Median itensity value.
`pixels` :	Alpha-weighted pixel count for entire image.
`count` :	Alpha-weighted pixel count for range.
`percentile` :	Percentile that range falls under.
Returns :	TRUE on success.
