Distance Property

Example 





Leadtools.ImageOptimization Namespace > ImageOptimizerOptions Structure : Distance Property
Gets or sets a value that represents the distance between image colors to be reduced in the image optimization operation.
Syntax
public int Distance {get; set;}
'Declaration
 
Public Property Distance As Integer
'Usage
 
Dim instance As ImageOptimizerOptions
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.Distance = value
 
value = instance.Distance
public int Distance {get; set;}
 get_Distance();
 set_Distance(value);  
public:
property int Distance {
   int get();
   void set (    int value);
}

Property Value

The Distance value can be a value between 0 and 255, where: The default value is 8.
Remarks
The Distance value will be used if the original image format is one of the following:
  1. Png File:
  2. Gif File:
  3. Bmp File
If the image is a 16-, 24-, or 32-bit BMP image, the real number of colors used in the image is calculated and when possible the image is saved with lower bits per pixel. If the image is a 1-, 4-, or 8-bits per pixel BMP image, the Percent and Distance are used.
