Leadtools.Codecs contains classes/libraries with properties, methods and events for loading, saving and converting any type of image file and for getting information about loaded bitmaps. These functions allow you to work with files in memory buffers or at offsets within disk files. Both high and low level functions are provided.
Support includes: palettes, memory files, multipage files, compressed files, comments, tags, animations, view perspectives, raw image data, compressed data, alpha channel, and others. This namespace also provides classes/libraries to load files from a network source in an asynchronous manner. This includes FeedLoad and stream (URL) support.
