Public Class DotRemoveCommand  
   Inherits Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand 
   Implements Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

public sealed class DotRemoveCommand : Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

@interface LTDotRemoveCommand : LTRasterCommand

function Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core.DotRemoveCommand()

public ref class DotRemoveCommand : public Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

Remarks

This method finds and removes dots, specks, and blobs of various sizes in 1-bit documents. The dots, specks, and blobs may or may not be all black. The behavior of this method can be modified by using an Event Handler that handles the DotRemoveCommandEventArgs.
This method works only on 1-bit black and white images.
If a region is selected, only the selected region will be changed by this method. If no region is selected, the whole image will be processed.
This command does not support signed data images.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

For more information, refer to Cleaning Up 1-Bit Images. In Silverlight versions of LEADTOOLS, this image processing command will fail if the image data for the RasterImage object is stored internally using a Silverlight WriteableBitmap object. For more information, refer to Image Processing Command Limitations in Silverlight.

Example

Run the DotRemoveCommand on an image.
