Member Function Documentation

◆ BeginPixelContentChange()

void BeginPixelContentChange ( )

Starts an image update block.

Normally API operations changing this image will result in an immediate PixelContentChanged event. If several updates are performed they can be grouped together so that only one event is fired after the full block.

Several blocks can also be nested. The event will then fired when the last block is closed.

◆ Clone()

virtual Image Clone ( )
virtual

This method performs a deep copy of the image data the current instance currently points to.

This means that if you clone a driver image, you receive a new plain Image without any driver interfaces!

Returns
A new Image object that is a deep copy of this image data.
Exceptions
InsufficientMemoryExceptionThe new image buffer could not be created.

◆ StartPixelContentChangeBlock()

IDisposable StartPixelContentChangeBlock ( )

Starts an image update block to be used in a using statement.

Calls BeginPixelContentChange. As soon as the returned object is disposed, the EndPixelContentChange is called.

using (myImage.StartPixelContentChangeBlock())
{
// perform image writing operations...
}
Returns
Disposable image update block.

◆ SubImage() [1/2]

Image SubImage ( Area2D  sourceArea)

Creates a new Image that is a copy from the given sourceArea of the image data of the current instance.

This method performs a deep copy of the image data the current instance currently points to.

This means that if you clone a driver image, you receive a new plain Image without any driver interfaces!

Parameters
sourceAreaArea2D that identifies the region to copy.
Returns
A new Image object that is a deep copy of this image data.
Exceptions
InsufficientMemoryExceptionThe new image buffer could not be created.
CvbExceptionIf image format could not be cloned.
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed

◆ SubImage() [2/2]

Image SubImage ( Rect  sourceRect)

Creates a new Image that is a copy from the given sourceRect of the image data of the current instance.

This method performs a deep copy of the image data the current instance currently points to.

This means that if you clone a driver image, you receive a new plain Image without any driver interfaces!

Parameters
sourceRectRectangle that identifies the region to copy.
Returns
A new Image object that is a deep copy of this image data.
Exceptions
InsufficientMemoryExceptionThe new image buffer could not be created.
CvbExceptionIf image format could not be cloned.
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed

◆ ToObjectBuffer()

unsafe byte[] ToObjectBuffer ( )

Create a byte buffer with the serialized image object data.

Note that this data do not directly correspond to pixel data - they are serialized object data that may be used for streaming and can be serialized by means of the FromObjectBuffer method.

Returns
Byte array with the serialized object data
Exceptions
Exceptionif serialization failed

◆ Bounds

Rect Bounds
get

Retrieve the bounding rect of the Image.

Bounding rect of the Image

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed of

◆ ColorModel

Color model that is realized by this image.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed

◆ CoordinateSystem

AffineMatrix2D CoordinateSystem
getset

Coordinate system of the image.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf the image has already been disposed

◆ Handle

IntPtr Handle
get

Native CVB image handle.

It is normally not necessary to work with this handle in CVB.Net. Note that using this handle in connection with the legacy CVB managed wrappers may actually be disruptive to your application.

Implements INativeHandle.

◆ HasOverlayMask

bool HasOverlayMask
get

True if at least one of the image infos has the overlay mask bit set.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf the image has already been disposed

◆ Height

int Height
get

Height of the image in pixels.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed of

◆ Planes

Access to the infos of the image.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed of.

◆ Size

Size2D Size
get

Size of the image.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed of.

◆ Width

int Width
get

Width of the image in pixels.

Exceptions
ObjectDisposedExceptionIf this image has already been disposed of

Event Documentation

◆ ObjectDisposing

NativeHandleEventDelegate ObjectDisposing

Raised when this object is about to be disposed via the IDisposable.Dispose method.

This event is raised right before this object is disposed. The dispose itself cannot be canceled.

◆ PixelContentChanged

EventHandler<RectEventArgs> PixelContentChanged

Fired when the image data of this image was consciously updated.

This event is only fired when using methods of this CVB API. Specifically this event is not fired when you use the ImagePlane.GetLinearAccess or ImagePlane.Vpat methods as it is not known whether the image data has changed. To inform clients of image data change in this case you can either call OnPixelContentChanged() or use the ImagePlane.GetLockedAccess method.
