Leadtools.ImageOptimization Namespace > ImageOptimizerOptions Structure : PickSamePalette Property



Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to generate a unique global palette for all GIF frames or generate a separate palette for each frame.

Syntax

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

Property Value

Value that indicates whether to generate a unique global palette for all GIF frames or generate a separate palette for each frame. Possible values are:
Value Description
true Generate a unique global palette for all GIF Frames.
false Generate an individual palette for each GIF Frame.

Example

This example will optimize a Gif image file and then save it to a separate folder
