uri
The Uri containing the input image data.
bitsPerPixel

Resulting image pixel depth. Valid values are:

valuemeaning
0Keep the original file's pixel depth (Do not convert).
1 to 8The specified bits per pixel in the resulting image.
1212 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
1616 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
2424 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
3232 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
4848 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
6464 bits per pixel in the resulting image.

order

Color order for 16-, 24-, 32-, 48-, and 64-bit images. If the resulting image is less than 16 bits per pixel, this will have no effect since palletized images have no order. The following are valid values.

CodecsLoadByteOrder.BgrOrGrayOrRommLoad the image as red, green, blue OR as a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image OR as ROMM. 12 and 16-bit grayscale images are supported in the Document/Medical Imaging editions only. ROMM only supports 24 and 48-bit color images.

firstPage

Loads the specified image file using default options.

Return Value

The RasterImage object that this method loads.

Example

         Console.WriteLine("Size: {0} by {1} pixels", image.Width, image.Height); 
         Console.WriteLine("Bits/Pixel: {0}", image.BitsPerPixel);

         RasterCodecs.Shutdown(); 
      }

Remarks

The file can be in any supported image file format and bits per pixel, whether compressed or uncompressed.

This method will load all the pages in a multipage file. The resulting image will have the same bits/pixel and color order value of the image as it was stored in the file.

LEADTOOLS will attempt to load corrupted files, so you can see at least a portion of the image. For these images, the load methods succeed, but LoadStatus will return an error code.

Use the CodecsLoadOptions class to set up other load options parameters before calling this method.

Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is only available in the Document/Medical Imaging editions.

For supported formats, refer to Summary of All Supported Image File Formats.

LEADTOOLS loads all PDF files as Raster PDF uncompressed RasterImageFormat.RasPdf, regardless of the compression and color space used when saving the file.

LEADTOOLS supports the following URI schemes:
SchemeDescription
UriSchemeFileSpecifies that the URI is a disk file in local machine or universal naming convention (UNC) path.
UriSchemeHttpSpecifies that the URI is accessed through the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
UriSchemeHttpsSpecifies that the URI is accessed through the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS).
UriSchemeFtpSpecifies that the URI is accessed through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

If uri points to a resource in a UriSchemeHttp, UriSchemeHttps or UriSchemeFtp, then this RasterCodecs will attempt to download image data in an iterative fashion by creating a temporary buffer. The size of this buffer can be determined and changed by setting up the UriOperationBufferSize prior to calling this method.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
