Cmw
Tifx
TiffIf VARIANT_TRUE, saves files in Motorola byte order when possible. WithoutTimeStamp VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE Png If VARIANT_TRUE, saves the file without a time stamp. PdfTextEncodingAsciiBase85 VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE If VARIANT_TRUE, uses PDF, ASCII BASE 85 text encoding for image data. PdfTextEncodingAsciiHex VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE If VARIANT_TRUE, uses PDF, ASCII HEX text encoding for image data. PdfTextEncodingMask VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE If VARIANT_TRUE, use a Mask of the flags for PDF text encoding. PdfSaveUseBitmapDpi VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE If VARIANT_TRUE, use the bitmap DPI in calculating page dimensions when saving a PDF file. PdfSaveLowMemoryUsage VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE If VARIANT_TRUE, tries to use less memory when creating a PDF file with JPEG or Fax compression. Passes VT_I4 0 Jpeg
Cmp
Possible values when saving:
Value
Meaning
Any positive number
Save the file as a progressive file with the specified number of passes.
0
Save the file as an ordinary JPEG or LEAD Cmp file (not a progressive file).
Any negative number
Save the file as a progressive file with the LEADTOOLS default number of passes.
Possible values when saving non-progressive files:
Value
Meaning
0
Save the file with fixed Huffman tables (faster save, lower compression).
<>0
Save the file with optimized Huffman tables (2-pass compression, lower speed, higher compression)
GlobalWidth VT_I4 0 Gif Width of images in a multi-page GIF file GlobalHeight VT_I4 0 Gif Height of images in a multi-page GIFfile SaveWithStamp VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE Jpeg
Exif
CmpIf VARIANT_TRUE, causes a Cmp, JPEG, or Exif file to be saved with a stamp (thumbnail image), in addition to the normal image. If VARIANT_TRUE, use StampWidth, StampHeight, and StampBits property bag values. StampWidth VT_UI4 0 Jpeg
Exif
CmpWidth, in pixels, of the stamp image being saved. StampHeight VT_UI4 0 Jpeg
Exif
CmpHeight, in pixels, of the stamp image being saved. StampBits VT_UI4 0 Jpeg
Exif
CmpBits per pixel of the stamp image being saved. Password VT_ARRAY | VT_UI2 255 Password for saving encrypted files.
AlphaInit VT_BOOL VARIANT_FALSE All Encoders If VARIANT_TRUE, initializes the alpha channel for 32 or 64-bit color images) to all ones (0xFF for 8-bit alpha channels and 0xFFFF for 16-bit alpha channels). Without this flag, a created alpha channel initializes to zeros.
