Hi,
    Thanks for you reply,
Actually its very different for signed and unsigned images.
currently i derive a formula which is reverse of those formula which
calculates window width and window center from min and max.
i.e it calculate min and max from window width and center
see

   min - max = WW -------eq1
   (max + min)/2 = WC   ----- eq2

  So finally by solving these equations we get

 min = (2 * WC - WW)/2
max = WW + min

So if i want to adjust WW = 1880 and WC = 950
then by formula

min = (2 * 950 - 1880)/2  = 10
max =1880 + 10  = 1890

but image is not looking good respetive to my min and max.
Please tell are i am doing anything wrong?

Prashant,

If you are asking an algebra question, the answer is

Min = WindowCenter - WindowWidth/2;
Max = WindowCenter + WindowWidth/2;

You can derive this graphically or by solving the simultaneous equations you
gave.

(In the example, should it read (Max - Min) = 32883 - (-32733) = 65616 ?)
