NAME

       mlib_VolumeFindMax_U8, mlib_VolumeFindMax_S16 - maximum intensity searching

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_VolumeFindMax_U8(mlib_u8 *max,
	    const mlib_rays *rays);

       mlib_status mlib_VolumeFindMax_S16(mlib_s16 *max,
	    const mlib_rays *rays);

DESCRIPTION

       Each function performs maximum intensity searching.

       It uses the following equation:

	 max[i] = MAX{ rays->results[j][i]
		       j = 0, 1, ..., rays->nsteps[i] }

       where i = 0, 1, ..., rays->nrays - 1.

PARAMETERS

       The function takes the following arguments:

       max     Pointer to an array of rays->nrays maximum values of the samples in each ray.

       rays    Pointer to an mlib_rays structure. The data rays->results are organized with ray number (rather than ray step) varying fastest. Ray
	       number and ray step are the output of the ray casting functions. The data might have values beyond the maximum step on a  ray.  For
	       example, rays->results[rays->nsteps[i]][i] on ray i might not equal 0.

RETURN VALUES

       The function returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
