Parameters

image
The source image.

Leadtools.RasterRegionXForm object that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and image coordinates. If you specify null (Nothing in Visual Basic) for this parameter, the scalar fields default to 1, the offsets default to 0, and the view perspective defaults to the image view perspective.

Example

This example will use AddGdiPlusDataToRegion and GetGdiPlusRegionData to add an elliptical region to a Leadtools.RasterImage, gets the region as a GDI+ RegionData object then re-sets it in another image.

Remarks

To update an existing region, specify how the new region is to be combined with the existing one using the combineMode parameter. For more information, refer to Leadtools.RasterRegionCombineMode.

This method can be used to copy the region data from one RasterImage to another, using the GetGdiPlusRegionData method.

To get the region data as Windows API HRGN data, use GetGdiRegionData and AddGdiDataToRegion.

To get the region data as platform independent byte array, use RasterRegion.GetData and RasterRegion.SetData.

For more information, refer to Creating a Region.

For more information, refer to Saving A Region.

For more information, refer to Working with the Existing Region.

For more information refer to RasterImage and GDI/GDI+.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Silverlight 3.0, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7, MAC OS/X (Intel Only)
