public RasterImage Load( 
   Uri uri
)

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function Load( _
   ByVal uri As Uri _
) As RasterImage

'Usage
 
Dim instance As RasterCodecs
Dim uri As Uri
Dim value As RasterImage
 
value = instance.Load(uri)

public RasterImage Load( 
   Uri uri
)

 function Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.Load(Uri)( 
   uri 
)

public:
RasterImage^ Load( 
   Uri^ uri
)

Parameters

uri: The System.Uri containing the input image data.

Return Value

The Leadtools.RasterImage object that this method loads.

The file can be in 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 file.

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.

LEADTOOLS supports the following URI schemes:

Scheme	Description
System.Uri.UriSchemeFile	Specifies that the URI is a disk file in local machine or universal naming convention (UNC) path.
System.Uri.UriSchemeHttp	Specifies that the URI is accessed through the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
System.Uri.UriSchemeHttps	Specifies that the URI is accessed through the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS).
System.Uri.UriSchemeFtp	Specifies that the URI is accessed through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

If uri points to a resource in a System.Uri.UriSchemeHttp, System.Uri.UriSchemeHttps or System.Uri.UriSchemeFtp, then this RasterCodecs will attempt to download image data in an iterative fashion by creating a temporary buffer. The size of this buffer can be determined and changed by setting up the UriOperationBufferSize prior to calling this method.

For authenticity and proxy settings, refer to UriOperationCredentials and UriOperationProxy.
