Parameters

fileName

A System.String containing the name of the image file to load.

bitsPerPixel

Resulting image pixel depth. Valid values are:

Value	Meaning
0	Keep the original file's pixel depth (Do not convert).
1 to 8	The specified bits per pixel in the resulting image.
12	12 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
16	16 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
24	24 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
32	32 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
48	48 bits per pixel in the resulting image.
64	64 bits per pixel in the resulting image.

order

Color order for 16-, 24-, 32-, 48-, and 64-bit images. If the resulting image is less than 16 bits per pixel, this will have no effect since palletized images have no order. The following are valid values.

Value	Meaning
CodecsLoadByteOrder.Rgb	Red, green, and blue color order in memory
CodecsLoadByteOrder.Bgr	Blue, green, and red color order in memory
CodecsLoadByteOrder.Gray	12 or 16-bit grayscale image. 12 and 16-bit grayscale images are only supported in the Document/Medical Imaging editions.
CodecsLoadByteOrder.RgbOrGray	Load the image as red, green, blue OR as a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image. 12 and 16-bit grayscale images are supported in the Document/Medical Imaging editions
CodecsLoadByteOrder.BgrOrGray	Load the image as blue, green, red OR as a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image. 12 and 16-bit grayscale images are supported in the Document/Medical Imaging editions
CodecsLoadByteOrder.Romm	ROMM order. ROMM only supports 24 and 48-bit images
CodecsLoadByteOrder.BgrOrGrayOrRomm	Load the image as red, green, blue OR as a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image OR as ROMM. 12 and 16-bit grayscale images are supported in the Document/Medical Imaging editions only. ROMM only supports 24 and 48-bit color images.

firstPage

1-based index of the first page to load.

lastPage

The 1-based index of the last page to load. Must be greater than or equal to firstPage. You can pass -1 to load from firstPage to the last page in the file.

userState

A user-defined object that is passed to the method invoked when the asynchronous operation completes.

Return Value

The Leadtools.RasterImage object that this method loads. See remarks for the usage of this object.

The file can be in any supported image file format and bits per pixel, whether compressed or uncompressed.

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 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.

The RasterCodecs class supports loading image files asynchronously using the LoadAsync methods. When calling any of these methods, the caller thread will not be blocked and the method will return instantly with an instance of Leadtools.RasterImage that is in a loading status (RasterImage.IsLoading set to true). You should not use the other properties of this object while the object is in loading status.

When the RasterCodecs object finishes loading the image, the various properties of the Leadtools.RasterImage will be populated with the image information and data and the RasterImage.IsLoading property will be set to false.

Do not poll the RasterImage.IsLoading property to determine whether the image has finished loading. Instead, subscribe to the LoadAsyncCompleted event to get notification when the LoadAsync(String,LeadRect,Int32,CodecsLoadByteOrder,Int32,Int32,Object) operation has completed and whether any errors occurred.

The LoadAsyncCompleted event data will also contain the same object returned from LoadAsync so you do not have to keep the original object in your application.
