Internet/Intranet Imaging
With LEADTOOLS, you can load/save images to/from a memory buffer (stream). With the .NET and COM Classes, you can load an image from a URL. LEADTOOLS includes support for Progressive JPEG, JPEG 2000, Progressive CMP, Wavelet CMW, PNG and interlaced GIF, so you can display images as they are downloaded. GIF support also includes transparency, animation, and embedded text. The GIF code has support for 1 through 8 bits per pixel files. A FeedLoad function is included to allow image data to be displayed as it is being transmitted across the net, providing Internet programmers with the fastest way to begin painting the client’s screen.
LEADTOOLS lets you do the following when working with the Internet:
[.NET and COM only] Use the .NET and COM Classes net-aware capabilities to load a bitmap asynchronously over the Internet. You can do this by specifying the URL in a single property.
Control how data is fed to a load routine.
Handle progressive reading and writing of JPEG and LEAD CMP files.
Handle transparency, interlaced formatting, and text in GIF files.
Create and maintain lists of bitmaps that are used for animation.
Create and play animations, read and write animated GIF files, and read AVI files.
Read and write most other image file formats that are transmitted on the Internet.
