Remarks

  • This method finds and removes dots, specks, and blobs of various sizes in 1-bit documents. The dots, specks, and blobs may or may not be all black. The behavior of this method can be modified by using an Event Handler that handles the DotRemoveCommandEventArgs.
  • This method works only on 1-bit black and white images.
  • If a region is selected, only the selected region will be changed by this method. If no region is selected, the whole image will be processed.
  • This command does not support signed data images.
  • This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
For more information, refer to Cleaning Up 1-Bit Images.
