Summary

Gets the overlay image for the specified index.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public RasterImage GetOverlayImage( 
   int index, 
   RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode mode 
)

- (nullable LTRasterImage *)getOverlayForImageAtIndex:(NSInteger)index  
                                                 mode:(LTRasterGetSetOverlayImageMode)mode  
                                                error:(NSError **)error

public RasterImage getOverlayImage( 
   int index, 
   RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode mode 
); 
public void setOverlayImage( 
   int intValue, 
   RasterImage rasterImage, 
   RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode rasterGetSetOverlayImageMode 
);

public: 
RasterImage^ GetOverlayImage(  
   int index, 
   RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode mode 
)

def GetOverlayImage(self,index,mode):

Parameters

index
The index of the overlay being retrieved. This index is zero-based and should be less or equal than MaxOverlays.

mode
Determines how to retrieve the image, possible values are:

Mode	Description
RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.Copy	A copy of the overlay image is retrieved from the overlay list.
RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.NoCopy	The actual overlay image is retrieved. No copy is made. You should be careful when modifying the returned overlay image because you can modify/invalidate the entry in the overlay bitmap list.
RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.Move	The actual overlay image is retrieved. The image is also removed from the overlay list. This is recommended over RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.NoCopy.

Return Value

A RasterImage object that represents the overlay image of the specified index.

Remarks

This method is available in the (Document/Medical only) Toolkits.

This method can be used to get a copy of the overlay image (RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.Copy) or to get the image without making a copy (RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.NoCopy or RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.Move).

The quickest way to get the overlay image is to avoid making a copy. For more information on using RasterGetSetOverlayImageMode.NoCopy, refer to the "Remarks" section of SetOverlayImage.
