Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
(Contains .NET classes)
The Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation environment introduced in Microsoft .NET 3.0 provides a consistent programming model for building applications. Directly related to XAML, it provides a clear separation between business logic and the user interface, enabling you to build applications that blend the user interface, documents, images, and other content for delivery on the desktop or across-the-web. That is, business logic models developed by business analysts, marketing departments, or end users (using XAML plug-ins) can be used natively as application front-ends. This eliminates the need for coding (or re-coding) from "storyboards," instead allowing for direct collaboration among web developers, art departments, business analysts, and back-end programmers.
WPF is pre-installed in Windows Vista (and later), and is also available for installation on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003.
WPF supports robust imaging capabilities, interface automation, data-driven user interfaces and visualization, as well as Windows shell integration. WPF can natively access Windows Imaging Component (WIC) codecs and APIs, allowing developers to write image codecs for their specific image file formats.
LEADTOOLS WPF takes full advantage of this capability, to provide you with out-of-the-box support for displaying, loading, saving, converting, processing, displaying, and annotating all image formats supported by the Microsoft Windows BitmapSource class in the WPF environment, as well as the 150+ formats supported by LEADTOOLS Raster Imaging toolkits.
Use LEADTOOLS WPF to unleash the power of LEADTOOLS in your XAML applications. Using LEAD’s WPF interface, you can add LEADTOOLS OCR, TWAIN scanning, document pre-processing, medical imaging, annotations and much more to any WPF application. Get Expression Blend-compatible and fully styleable controls for complete interoperation support between LEADTOOLS and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) images.

Windows Imaging Component (WIC) Codecs. Instantly add support for 40+ file formats to any WIC/WPF application, including the Windows XP SP3 Explorer and Vista Photo Explorer. Our most advanced WPF Image Viewer. Leadtools.Windows.Controls incudes image viewer controls that not only support all Microsoft .NET BitmapSource image objects, but works directly with LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro .NET classes, allowing you to leverage the full power of LEADTOOLS file format and image processing support. The fully styleable control includes scroll, zoom, pan, magnify glass, and image list.
Advanced WPF Image Processing. The Leadtools.Windows.Media namespace contains classes that let you convert a LEADTOOLS image (Leadtools.RasterImage) to and from a WPF image (System.Windows.Media.ImageSource). This namespace also gives you access to all LEADTOOLS image processing functions, allowing you to create powerful imaging applications using the WPF framework. Benefits include:
The most support for File Formats. Support even more file formats and flavors, as well as file metadata. Extend WPF file format support with LEAD’s WIC-enabled codecs to load and save many image formats including PDF, TIFF, lossless and lossy JPEG, JPEG2000, JBIG2, PSD, DICOM and many more. Includes low-level control when loading and/or saving image files.
Our most advanced Image Processing. Use over 130 Image Processing Effects including edge, blur, noise, artistic, texture, spatial, color adjustments and 3D. Low and High level image processing routines for document, medical, color adjustment, region processing, image analysis and statistics.
WPF Transition Effects. The Leadtools.Windows.Media.Transitions namespace allows you to add multiple slide show transition effects to your WPF projects. Choose from 10+ basic effects like wipe, blinds, push, rotate, and zoom, plus dozens of variants.
WPF Annotations. The Leadtools.Windows.Annotations namespace is unlocked with Document and Medical Imaging SDKs. It adds powerful annotation capabilities to documents and images in your WPF projects. These include not only lines, shapes, and pointers, but essential tools like redaction (blackout), hotspots, text, images, highlights, sticky notes, audio, images, stamps, rulers and hyperlinks.
With LEADTOOLS SDKs, developers can harness the robust power of LEADTOOLS extensive file format support and image processing features, while taking advantage of the newest UI development features provided by WPF. LEADTOOLS SDKs include WPF source code examples, making the integration of many years of LEADTOOLS imaging expertise into the latest Microsoft WPF technology a simple task.
