See Also  Example
Leadtools.ImageOptimization Namespace > ImageOptimizer Class > OptimizeBuffer Method : OptimizeBuffer(RasterCodecs,IntPtr,Int32,ImageOptimizerOptions,ImageOptimizerProgress) Method




codecs
The RasterCodecs object used internally in the optimization operation.
buffer
The original image buffer in memory as IntPtr array. The image format in memory should be one of the following supported formats:
length
The size, in bytes, of the buffer parameter in memory.
options
The options used in the optimization process.
progressCallback
Optional callback function that provides information about the progress of the optimization process.
Optimizes a supported image format buffer using the passed optimization options.

Example

This example will optimize a Png image file and then save it to a separate folder
