Remarks

  • This class can also be used to invert the color of a 1-bit image, making the black white and the white black.
  • This class supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
  • This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
  • This command supports signed data images.

This command changes the image data. If the image has a LUT, the command will work on the LUT not the image data. If the image has a LUT and you want to work on the image data, first disable the use of the LUT by setting the UseLookupTable Property to FALSE. After you are finished applying the command, restore the use of the LUT by setting the UseLookupTable Property to TRUE again. See the following snippet:


image.UseLookupTable = FALSE;
InvertCmd.Run(image);
image.UseLookupTable = TRUE;
