Parameters

row

The number of the row to retrieve. The first row is 0, and the last row is 1 less than the image Height.

column

The column offset within the row to retrieve. The first column offset is 0, and the last column offset is 1 less than the image Width.

buffer

The buffer to hold the image data that this method gets.

bufferOffset

The zero-based index into buffer where retrieving should start.

bytes

The number of bytes to retrieve. Consider the BitsPerPixel, and avoid specifying a number that goes past the end of the row.

• For a 1-bit image, each byte represents 8 pixels.
• For a 4-bit image, each byte represents 2 pixels.
• For an 8-bit image, each byte represents 1 pixel.
• For a 16-bit image, every 2 bytes represents one pixel.
• For a 24-bit image, every three bytes represents one pixel.
• For a 32-bit image, every four bytes represents one pixel.
• For a 48-bit image, every six bytes represents one pixel.
• For a 64-bit image, every eight bytes represents one pixel.

You can use the BitsPerPixel property with integer math to calculate the number of bytes needed for a particular number of pixels. For example:

NumberOfBytes = (Image.BitsPerPixel * NumberOfPixels) / 8;
if ((Image.BitsPerPixel * NumberOfPixels) % 8)
 ++NumberOfBytes; // Round up if necessary for a 1- or 4-bit image

By using this low-level method to get any part of a row, you can write a procedure that accesses a single pixel or a rectangular area within the image.

This method accepts an offset parameter (column) in pixels and a length (bytes) in bytes. Therefore, you must consider the BitsPerPixel of the image when specifying these parameters. The following table describes the rules:

BitsPerPixel	Column Offset (in Pixels)	Bytes to Get
1	Must be a multiple of 8 (such as 0,8, or 16).	Can be any number up to the end of the row. Consider that there are 8 pixels per byte.
4	Must be an even number (such as 0, 2, or 4).	Can be any number up to the end of the row. Consider that there are 2 pixels per byte.
8	Can be any column within the image.	Can be any number up to the end of the row. Consider that there is 1 pixel per byte.
16	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 2 (such as 2, 4, or 6), because there are 2 bytes per pixel.
24	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 3 (such as 3, 6, or 9), because there are 3 bytes per pixel.
32	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 4 (such as 4, 8, or 12), because there are 4 bytes per pixel.
48	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 6 (such as 6, 12, or 18), because there are 6 bytes per pixel.
64	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 8 (such as 8, 16, or 24), because there are 8 bytes per pixel.

Do not pass a value in bytes that goes past the end of the row. The process is faster when rows are retrieved sequentially, either top-down or bottom-up.
