Leadtools.ImageOptimization Namespace > ImageOptimizer Class : OptimizeBuffer Method




Optimizes a supported image format buffer using the passed optimization options.

Overload List

OverloadDescription
OptimizeBuffer(RasterCodecs,IntPtr,Int32,ImageOptimizerOptions,ImageOptimizerProgress) Optimizes a supported image format buffer using the passed optimization options.  
OptimizeBuffer(RasterCodecs,Byte[],Int32,Int32,ImageOptimizerOptions,ImageOptimizerProgress) 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
