Leadtools.ImageOptimization Namespace > ImageOptimizerOptions Structure : PngQualityFactor Property



Gets or sets the value that represents the quality factor to be used in the image optimization operation.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property PngQualityFactor As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As ImageOptimizerOptions
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.PngQualityFactor = value
 
value = instance.PngQualityFactor
C# 
public int PngQualityFactor {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
public:
property int PngQualityFactor {
   int get();
   void set (    int value);
}

Property Value

The PngQualityFactor can be a value between 0 and 9 where:
  • 0 = (default compression).
  • 1 = (fastest compression).
  • .
  • .
  • .
  • 9 (highest compression ratio).
The Default value is 9.

Remarks

The PngQualityFactor is used only if the original image format is RasterImageFormat.Png. Bits per pixel: 1, 4, 8, 24, and 32.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7
