AnimationGlobalLoop Property

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating the global loop count for animated images.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public int AnimationGlobalLoop { get; set; }

@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger animationGlobalLoop

public int getAnimationGlobalLoop(); 
public void setAnimationGlobalLoop( 
   int intValue 
);

public: 
property int AnimationGlobalLoop { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
}

AnimationGlobalLoop # get and set (RasterImage)

Property Value

An integer value that indicates the global loop count for animated images. The following are valid values:

Value	Meaning
-1	No looping. This is the default value and it means this image is not animated. This is the case with multipage TIF files, for example.
0	Continuous looping. The animation should repeat itself indefinitely.
> 0	N looping. The animation should repeat itself N times.

Remarks

An image is considered to have animation if the value of AnimationGlobalLoop is not -1 and the image has more than one frame (PageCount is greater than 1).

When the value of this property is changed, the Changed event will fire with RasterImageChangedFlags set to RasterImageChangedFlags.AnimationProperties.

For more information, refer to Implementing Animation.

Example

This example will create an animated GIF file that shows the frame number moving into the four corners
