LEADTOOLS (Leadtools assembly)

ToDib Method

Show in webframe
Example 







Type of DIB to create.
Gets an unmanaged pointer containing a Windows device independent bitmap (DIB) version of this image.
Syntax
public IntPtr ToDib( 
   RasterConvertToDibType type
)
'Declaration
 
Public Function ToDib( _
   ByVal type As RasterConvertToDibType _
) As IntPtr
'Usage
 
Dim instance As RasterImage
Dim type As RasterConvertToDibType
Dim value As IntPtr
 
value = instance.ToDib(type)
public IntPtr ToDib( 
   RasterConvertToDibType type
)
-(LTHandle*)toDib:(LTRasterConvertToDibType)type;

            
 function Leadtools.RasterImage.ToDib( 
   type 
)
public:
IntPtr ToDib( 
   RasterConvertToDibType type
) 

Parameters

type
Type of DIB to create.

Return Value

A handle to the Windows DIB.
Remarks

When this method is completed, there are two copies of the image in memory: the DIB and the original RasterImage. Freeing one will not affect the other.

This methods allocates a DIB bitmap and copies the RasterImage to the DIB.

NOTE: This method returns the data in an unmanaged buffer. The caller is responsible for freeing the DIB's IntPtr when it is no longer needed. You can use Marshal.FreeHGlobal.

A DIB consists of one of the following:

followed by a color table and then the bitmap data. The resulting DIB type is determined by the value of the type parameter.

The orientation of the image and color order will depend on how the image was loaded into the RasterImage.

When you no longer need the DIB, you can free it using the Windows GlobalFree function or System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FreeHGlobal(System.IntPtr).

For more information on DDBs and DIBs, refer to Introduction: DIBs, DDBs, and the Clipboard.

This function does not support signed images.
