SetRowColumn(int,int,IntPtr,int) Method

Summary

Copies data from an unmanaged memory buffer to an image, with an offset to the image.

Syntax

C++

Java

public int SetRowColumn( 
   int row, 
   int column, 
   IntPtr buffer, 
   int bufferCount 
)

Public Overloads Function SetRowColumn( _ 
   ByVal row As Integer, _ 
   ByVal column As Integer, _ 
   ByVal buffer As IntPtr, _ 
   ByVal bufferCount As Integer _ 
) As Integer

public int setRowColumn( 
  int row,  
  int column,  
  byte[] buffer,  
  long bufferCount 
)

public: 
int SetRowColumn(  
   int row, 
   int column, 
   IntPtr buffer, 
   int bufferCount 
)

Parameters

row
The number of the row to update. The first row is 0, and the last row is 1 less than the image height.

column
The column offset within the row to update. The first column offset is 0, and the last column offset is 1 less than the image width.

buffer
Pointer to an unmanaged memory buffer containing the image data. The buffer should contain uncompressed data regardless of whether the image is compressed or not.

bufferCount
The number of bytes to update. Consider the bits per pixel, and avoid specifying a number that goes past the end of the row.

For a 1-bit image, each byte represents 8 pixels. For a 4-bit image, each byte represents 2 pixels. For an 8-bit image, each byte represents 1 pixel. For a 16-bit image, every 2 bytes represents one pixel. For 24-bit images, every three bytes represents one pixel. For a 32-bit image, every four bytes represents one pixel. For a 48-bit image, every six bytes represents one pixel. For a 64-bit image, every eight bytes represents one pixel.

Return Value

The number of bytes put.

Remarks

By using this low-level method to update any part of a row, you can write a procedure that updates a single pixel or a rectangular area within the image.

This method accepts an offset parameter ( column) in pixels and a length ( bufferCount) in bytes. Therefore, you must consider the bits per pixel of the image when specifying these parameters. The following table describes the rules:

Bits Per Pixel	Column Offset (in Pixels)	Bytes to Get
1	Must be a multiple of 8 (such as 0, 8, or 16).	Can be any number up to the end of the row. Consider that there are 8 pixels per byte.
4	Must be an even number (such as 0, 2, or 4).	Can be any number up to the end of the row. Consider that there are 2 pixels per byte.
8	Can be any column within the image.	Can be any number up to the end of the row. Consider that there is 1 pixel per byte.
16	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 2 (such as 2, 4, or 6), because there are 2 bytes per pixel.
24	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 3 (such as 3, 6, or 9), because there are 3 bytes per pixel.
32	Can be any column within the image.	Must be a multiple of 4 (such as 4, 8, or 12), because there are 4 bytes per pixel.

The image memory must be locked when you use this method. Normally, you can call Access to lock the memory before starting an operation that uses this method. Then call Release when the operation is finished.

Color order is determined by the Order property of the RasterImage object. This value can be RasterByteOrder.Rgb, RasterByteOrder.Bgr, or RasterByteOrder.Romm.

Note: To calculate the correct size for a single row of image data:

Windows-based platforms: (((Width * BitsPerPixel) + 31) >> 3)) & ~3
Unix-based platforms (Linux, Android, OSX, iOS): (((Width * BitsPerPixel) + 7) / 8)

RasterByteOrder.Gray is only valid for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is only available in the Document/Medical Imaging editions.
