SaveStamp(RasterImage,string,int,int,int,CodecsSavePageMode) Method

Summary

Saves a stamp in an existing file with specific options.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Python

public void SaveStamp( 
   RasterImage image, 
   string fileName, 
   int firstPage, 
   int lastPage, 
   int firstSavePageNumber, 
   CodecsSavePageMode pageMode 
)

- (BOOL)  saveStamp:(LTRasterImage *)image  
               file:(NSString *)file  
          firstPage:(NSInteger)firstPage  
           lastPage:(NSInteger)lastPage  
firstSavePageNumber:(NSInteger)firstSavePageNumber  
           pageMode:(LTCodecsSavePageMode)pageMode  
              error:(NSError **)error

public: 
void SaveStamp(  
   RasterImage^ image, 
   String^ fileName, 
   int firstPage, 
   int lastPage, 
   int firstSavePageNumber, 
   CodecsSavePageMode pageMode 
)

def SaveStamp(self,image,fileName,firstPage,lastPage,firstSavePageNumber,pageMode):

Parameters

image
The RasterImage object that contain the thumbnail (stamp) image.

fileName
A String containing the name of an existing image file.

firstPage
1-based index of the first page in image to save.

lastPage
1-based index of the last page in image to save. Pass -1 to save from firstPage to the last page in image.

firstSavePageNumber
1-based index of the first output page. If the output file already exists, then this parameter lets you control which pages to overwrite and/or where to append the new pages.

pageMode
Determines how to handle the page when saving to multipage formats. This can be one of the following:

Value	Description
CodecsSavePageMode.Append	Append the new page(s) to the end of the file. If the file does not exist, this option will create the file and add the pages to it. [firstSavePageNumber] is not used.
CodecsSavePageMode.Insert	Insert the new page(s) at the index specified by [firstSavePageNumber].
CodecsSavePageMode.Replace	Replace the page(s) starting at the index specified by [firstSavePageNumber].
CodecsSavePageMode.Overwrite	Overwrite the page(s) starting at the index specified by [firstSavePageNumber].

Remarks

The stamp will be written to last page in the file. If that page already has a stamp, it will be overwritten; If the file to which the stamp is being written does not exist, an exception will occur.

This function works for JPEG, Exif, PNG and TIF file formats. For regular JPEG files, the stamp saved is always uncompressed and can be 8 or 24 bits per pixel. The stamp can be any width and height, but the stamp data and stamp header must completely fit in an APP0 marker. Therefore, the size must be less than 64k bytes (0xFFFF).

For Exif JPEG files, the stamps can be uncompressed or JPEG compressed and must be 24 bits per pixel. Exif JPEG stamps are supposed to be 160 x 120. However, LEADTOOLS can save and read Exif JPEG stamps of other dimensions. The stamp, along with other information such as the TIFF_HEADER, 0th IFD, 1st IFD, etc. must completely fit in an APP1 marker. Therefore, the size must be less than 64k bytes (0xFFFF).

For PNG files, the stamp will be saved uncompressed. The width and height are not limited but the bitmap should 24-bit.

Note

At this time, there are no multipage formats that support stamps.

Example

This example will add a stamp to an existing file before reading it back.
