PaintGamma Property

Summary

Gets or sets the current gamma correction value for the image.

Syntax

C#
VB
Java
Objective-C
WinRT C#
C++
public int PaintGamma { get; set; } 
Public Property PaintGamma As Integer 
public int PaintGamma {get; set;} 
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSUInteger paintGamma 
public int getPaintGamma() 
public void setPaintGamma(int value) 
             
 <br/>get_PaintGamma();<br/>set_PaintGamma(value);<br/>Object.defineProperty('PaintGamma');  
public: 
property int PaintGamma { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
}

Property Value

The current gamma correction value.

Remarks

The paint gamma value can be any number greater than 0. The default value is 100.

Because this is an unsigned integer, it is 100 times the actual gamma value. For example, use 235 to set a gamma value of 2.35. Intensity values ideally follow a logarithmic progression, because the eye perceives changes in intensity as being equal when the ratio of change is equal. For example, we would see a change from 0.1 to 0.2 as being equal to a change from 0.2 to 0.4.

Gamma is a standard constant that is used to calculate the progression. For most CRTs the gamma constant is in the range of 2.2 to 2.5.

For more information, refer to Changing Brightness and Contrast.
