DeleteTag(String,Int32,Int32) Method








Leadtools.Codecs Namespace > RasterCodecs Class > DeleteTag Method : DeleteTag(String,Int32,Int32) Method
A String containing the name of the file from which to delete the tag.
The 1-based index of the page from which the tag will be deleted. Use -1 to delete the tag from the last page. Use 1 to delete the tag from the first page.
The ID of the tag in the TIFF file. The tag IDs are between 0 and 65535.
Deletes a tag from a file, if the file supports tags (TIFF or Exif).

'Declaration

   ByVal fileName As String, _

   ByVal id As Integer _
)
 
'Usage
 

Dim instance As RasterCodecs
Dim fileName As String
Dim pageNumber As Integer
Dim id As Integer
 
instance.DeleteTag(fileName, pageNumber, id)

Parameters

fileName
A String containing the name of the file from which to delete the tag.
pageNumber
The 1-based index of the page from which the tag will be deleted. Use -1 to delete the tag from the last page. Use 1 to delete the tag from the first page.
id
The ID of the tag in the TIFF file. The tag IDs are between 0 and 65535.
Remarks

If you want to delete the tag from a particular IFD in the file, set RasterCodecs.Options.Tiff.Save.UseImageFileDirectoryOffset to true, and set RasterCodecs.Options.Tiff.Save.ImageFileDirectoryOffset to the IFD in question. This method will delete tags only from the main IFDs that make up an image. Some TIFF tags are themselves SubIFDs. You can delete tags from such SubIFDs by using RasterCodecs.Options.Tiff.Save.UseImageFileDirectoryOffset and RasterCodecs.Options.Tiff.Save.ImageFileDirectoryOffset specifying the IFD as above.

Notes:

When you add or remove tags, the tags array at the end of the file is re-written. When you modify existing tags, the new tag value is added to the file and the IFD is modified as necessary. In all of these cases, there is no image recompression.

Example

This example will create a TIF file, add a certain tag to it then delete it
