public RasterImage Load( 
   Stream stream
)

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function Load( _
   ByVal stream As Stream _
) As RasterImage

'Usage
 
Dim instance As RasterCodecs
Dim stream As Stream
Dim value As RasterImage
 
value = instance.Load(stream)

public RasterImage Load( 
   Stream stream
)

 function Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.Load(Stream)( 
   stream 
)

public:
RasterImage^ Load( 
   Stream^ stream
)

Parameters

stream: A System.IO.Stream containing the image data to load.

Return Value

The Leadtools.RasterImage object that this method loads.

The stream can point to any supported image file format and bits per pixel, whether compressed or uncompressed.

This method will load all the pages in a multipage file. The resulting image will have the same bits/pixel and color order value of the image as it was stored in the stream.

LEADTOOLS will attempt to load corrupted files so you can see at least a portion of the image. For these images, the load methods succeed, but LoadStatus will return an error code.

Use the CodecsLoadOptions class to set up other load option parameters before calling this method.

Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale, and 48 and 64-bit color images is only available in the Document/Medical Imaging editions.

For supported formats, refer to Summary of All Supported Image File Formats.

LEADTOOLS loads all PDF files as Raster PDF uncompressed RasterImageFormat.RasPdf, regardless of the compression and color space used when saving the file.
