GrayScaleClosing  Method

Description         This function will morphologically close the grayscale image. The function works for only 8 bit per pixel images. Morphological closing of a grayscale image is defined as the dilation of that image followed by the erosion of the dilated image. The closing filter operation will reduce small negatively oriented graylevel regions and negative graylevel noise regions generated from salt and pepper noise.

                            MPy                        short                Y coordinate of structuring matrix origin.

                            iShowProgress       short                This parameter specifies the displaying of the progressbar and the preview dialog.

Available values:

DISPLAY_NONE (0) - The progressbar and the preview dialog will not display before filtering.
