public class AddMessageCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Declaration

Public Class AddMessageCommand 
   Inherits Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand
   Implements Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Usage

Dim instance As AddMessageCommand

public sealed class AddMessageCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

function Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects.AddMessageCommand()

public ref class AddMessageCommand : public Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

The purpose of this command is for security since the message added will be embedded into the image without any visible changes and the resulting image has the same size as the original.
This command can add a message to any type of lossless image such as BMP, TIFF, lossless JPEG, and so forth. If used with lossy format types the message may be corrupted or lost.
To extract the embedded message use ExtractMessageCommand.
This command supports 24- and 48-bits images, and 8- and 16-bits grayscale images
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

Run the AddMessageCommand on an image.
