RetrieveDataFromImage Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to automatically populate the scanline buffers in CodecsSaveImageEventArgs when using the RasterCodecs.SaveImage event.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public bool RetrieveDataFromImage { get; set; }

Public Property RetrieveDataFromImage As Boolean

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL retrieveDataFromImage

public boolean getRetrieveDataFromImage() 
public void setRetrieveDataFromImage(boolean value)

public: 
property bool RetrieveDataFromImage { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
}

Property Value

true to automatically populate the scanline buffers in CodecsSaveImageEventArgs when using the RasterCodecs.SaveImage event, or false to make the user responsible for populating the scanline buffers. Default value is false.

Remarks

The Buffer property works as the input and output buffer containing the image data to save. If the value of RetrieveDataFromImage is set to false (the default), then the user is always responsible for providing the image data by setting in Buffer. If the value of RetrieveDataFromImage is set to true, then the RasterCodecs object will populate the Buffer prior to raising this event. The user can then inspect or modify the scanlines data or simple ignore it to save the original image data as is.

Notice that on either case, the user must provide the scanline data in the source image original format (stored in the Image property. The RasterCodecs object will then convert this data to the appropriate output format if needed, for example, if the user instructed the RasterCodecs object to save the image in a different file format than the original image.

Example

The following example shows how to use RetrieveDataFromImage to:

Save the image without instructing RasterCodecs to automatically populate the data. Resulting in an output file with a blank image.
Save the image while RasterCodecs to automatically populate the data. Resulting in a correct output image.
Save the image with RasterCodecs automatically generating the data then manipulating it to generate an output file that is an invert of the original image.
