public:
array<byte>^ EncodeAbic( 
   array<byte>^ inputData,
   int align,
   int width,
   int height,

Parameters

inputData
A byte array which contains the input data.
align
Number of bytes aligned for uncompresed input data.

Example

This example will load a file and encode as as ABIC. Decodes the data again before saving it to a destination file

Remarks

Call this method to compress the input raw data to 1-bit bi-level or 4-bit grayscale ABIC data.

Use DecodeAbic(Byte[],Int32,Int32,Int32,Boolean) to decode ABIC data.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Silverlight, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7, MAC OS/X (Intel Only)
