Re: Resizing animated GIFs with .NET

Hello everybody (and LEAD Tools Support)

I am evaluating thi sproduct for a possible purchase by my company, we are looking for Animated GIF support.
Does anybody know if it is possible to resize animated GIFs using the .NET lib?

I get the exception...

" Invalid parameter passed" when trying to resize.
but a single image GIF resizes no problem? eh!


I create the Raster Image from an existing .net Image object, is this why it doesnt work, because .NET does not support animated GIFs?

How do i resize an animated GIF using .NET then, i was doing this, any ideas

                ResizeCommand resizeCommand = new ResizeCommand();

           
    RasterImage image = new RasterImage(Image.FromFile(@"c:\test2.gif"));
           
                resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Normal;

           
    resizeCommand.DestinationImage = new RasterImage(    RasterMemoryFlags.Managed,

           
           
           
           
                    25,

           
           
           
           
                    25,

           
           
           
           
                    8,

           
           
           
           
                    RasterByteOrder.Rgb ,

           
           
           
           
                    RasterViewPerspective.TopLeft,

           
           
           
           
                    image.Palette,

           
           
           
           
                    null);
                resizeCommand.Run(image);

                Debug.WriteLine("Saving now");

           
    Image resizedImage = resizeCommand.DestinationImage.ConvertToGdiPlusImage();
                resizedImage.Save(@"C:\out.gif");

Hello,

The following code shows how to load an animated GIF file, resize it, and then save the result as animated gif file:
+---------------------------+
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing;
using Leadtools;
using Leadtools.Codecs;
...
private void button5_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int i =0;
IRasterImage image;           
RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs ();
ResizeCommand resizeCommand = new ResizeCommand();
image = codecs.Load(@"c:\qtrres.gif",0,CodecsLoadByteOrder.BgrOrGray,1,-1);
resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Normal;
resizeCommand.DestinationImage = new RasterImage (RasterMemoryFlags.Managed , image.Width / 2, image.Height / 2, image.BitsPerPixel, image.Order , image.ViewPerspective, image.Palette , null );

for( i=1;i<image.PageCount;i++)
{
image.Page = i;
resizeCommand.Run(image);
codecs.Save(resizeCommand.DestinationImage,@"C:\out1.gif",RasterImageFormat.Gif,8,1,1,1,CodecsSavePageMode.Append  );
}
MessageBox.Show("Image Saved...");

}
+---------------------------+
