### gimp_drawable_color_balance ()

    gboolean
    gimp_drawable_color_balance (gint32 drawable_ID,
                                 GimpTransferMode transfer_mode,
                                 gboolean preserve_lum,

                                 gdouble yellow_blue);

Modify the color balance of the specified drawable.

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, mid-tones, and highlights in an image to be affected differently. The 'preserve-lum' parameter, if TRUE, ensures that the luminosity of each pixel remains fixed.

#### Parameters

drawable_ID | The drawable. |
transfer_mode | Transfer mode. |
preserve_lum | Preserve luminosity values at each pixel. |
cyan_red | Cyan-Red color balance. |
magenta_green | Magenta-Green color balance. |
yellow_blue | Yellow-Blue color balance. |

#### Returns

TRUE on success.

                                 const gdouble *points);

Modifies the intensity curve(s) for specified drawable.

Modifies the intensity mapping for one channel in the specified drawable. The channel can be either an intensity component, or the value. The 'points' parameter is an array of doubles which define a set of control points which describe a Catmull Rom spline which yields the final intensity curve.

This procedure equalizes the contents of the specified drawable. Each intensity channel is equalized independently. The equalized intensity is given as inten' = (255 - inten). The 'mask_only' option specifies whether to adjust only the area of the image within the selection bounds, or the entire image based on the histogram of the selected area. If there is no selection, the entire image is adjusted based on the histogram for the entire image.

                             gdouble *percentile);

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. 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. The returned mean, std_dev and median are in the range (0..255) for 8-bit images, or if the plug-in is not precision-aware, and in the range (0.0..1.0) otherwise.

#### Parameters

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 intensity value. |
std_dev | Standard deviation of intensity values. |
median | Median intensity 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.

### gimp_drawable_levels ()

    gboolean
    gimp_drawable_levels (gint32 drawable_ID,
                          GimpHistogramChannel channel,
                          gdouble low_input,
                          gdouble high_input,
                          gdouble gamma,
                          gdouble low_output,
                          gdouble 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.

#### Parameters

drawable_ID | The drawable. |
channel | The channel to modify. |
low_input | Intensity of lowest input. |
high_input | Intensity of highest input. |
gamma | Gamma adjustment factor. |
low_output | Intensity of lowest output. |
high_output | Intensity of highest output. |

#### Returns

TRUE on success.

Since: 2.10

### gimp_drawable_levels_stretch ()

This procedure allows intensity levels in the specified drawable to be remapped according to a set of guessed parameters. It is equivalent to clicking the \"Auto\" button in the Levels tool.

#### Parameters

drawable_ID | The drawable. |

#### Returns

TRUE on success.

Since: 2.10

### gimp_drawable_posterize ()
