JpegQualityFactor Property
See Also  Example
Leadtools.ImageOptimization Namespace > ImageOptimizerOptions Structure : JpegQualityFactor Property




Gets or sets a value that represents the quality factor to be used when optimizing an image.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property JpegQualityFactor As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As ImageOptimizerOptions
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.JpegQualityFactor = value
 
value = instance.JpegQualityFactor
C# 
public int JpegQualityFactor {get; set;}
Managed Extensions for C++ 
public: __property int get_JpegQualityFactor();
public: __property void set_JpegQualityFactor( 
   int value
);
C++/CLI 
public:
property int JpegQualityFactor {
   int get();
   void set (int value);
}

Return Value

The JpegQualityFactor is a number used to balance between loss and quality during compression. You can set a value from 2 to 255, where 2 represents the highest quality and 255 represents the most compression. The default value is 35.

Example

This example will optimize a Jpg image file then save it into a separate folder
