Syntax

Objective-C

Python

public RasterImageFormat Format { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, assign) LTRasterImageFormat format;

public RasterImageFormat getFormat() 
public void setFormat(RasterImageFormat value)

public: 
property RasterImageFormat Format { 
   RasterImageFormat get(); 
   void set (    RasterImageFormat ); 
}

Format # get and set (CodecsLoadOptions)

Property Value

A RasterImageFormat enumeration value that specifies the load format. The default value is Unknown.

Remarks

By default, the RasterCodecs object will try to recognize the format of the image it is trying to load. However, If you know the format of the file, pass it to this member prior to calling RasterCodecs.Load or RasterCodecs.LoadAsync. Doing so, skips the format recognition process and speeds up the load operation.

Example
