Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to create a new BitmapSource by using a BitmapFrame.
int width = 128;
int height = width;
int stride = width/8;
byte[] pixels = new byte[height*stride];
// Try creating a new image with a custom palette.
List<System.Windows.Media.Color> colors = new List<System.Windows.Media.Color>();
colors.Add(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Red);
colors.Add(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Blue);
colors.Add(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Green);
BitmapPalette myPalette = new BitmapPalette(colors);
// Creates a new empty image with the pre-defined palette
BitmapSource image = BitmapSource.Create(
width,
height,
96,
96,
PixelFormats.Indexed1,
myPalette,
pixels,
stride);
FileStream stream = new FileStream("empty.tif", FileMode.Create);
TiffBitmapEncoder encoder = new TiffBitmapEncoder();
TextBlock myTextBlock = new TextBlock();
myTextBlock.Text = "Codec Author is: " + encoder.CodecInfo.Author.ToString();
encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(image));
MessageBox.Show(myPalette.Colors.Count.ToString());
encoder.Save(stream);
Dim width As Integer = 128
Dim height As Integer = width
Dim stride As Integer = CType(width / 8, Integer)
Dim pixels(height * stride) As Byte
' Try creating a new image with a custom palette.
Dim colors As New List(Of System.Windows.Media.Color)()
colors.Add(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Red)
colors.Add(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Blue)
colors.Add(System.Windows.Media.Colors.Green)
Dim myPalette As New BitmapPalette(colors)
' Creates a new empty image with the pre-defined palette
Dim image As BitmapSource = System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource.Create(width, height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Indexed1, myPalette, pixels, stride)
Dim stream As New FileStream("empty.tif", FileMode.Create)
Dim encoder As New TiffBitmapEncoder()
Dim myTextBlock As New TextBlock()
myTextBlock.Text = "Codec Author is: " + encoder.CodecInfo.Author.ToString()
encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(image))
MessageBox.Show(myPalette.Colors.Count.ToString())
encoder.Save(stream)
The following code example demonstrates how to use the BitmapFrame object to open a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) graphic and write metadata by using the CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter method.
Stream^ pngStream = gcnew FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode::Open, FileAccess::ReadWrite, FileShare::ReadWrite);
PngBitmapDecoder^ pngDecoder = gcnew PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions::PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption::Default);
BitmapFrame^ pngFrame = pngDecoder->Frames[0];
InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter^ pngInplace = pngFrame->CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter();
if (pngInplace->TrySave() == true)
{
pngInplace->SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day.");
}
pngStream->Close();
Stream pngStream = new System.IO.FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
PngBitmapDecoder pngDecoder = new PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
BitmapFrame pngFrame = pngDecoder.Frames[0];
InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter pngInplace = pngFrame.CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter();
if (pngInplace.TrySave() == true)
{ pngInplace.SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day."); }
pngStream.Close();
Dim pngStream As New System.IO.FileStream("smiley.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite)
Dim pngDecoder As New PngBitmapDecoder(pngStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default)
Dim pngFrame As BitmapFrame = pngDecoder.Frames(0)
Dim pngInplace As InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter = pngFrame.CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter()
If pngInplace.TrySave() = True Then
pngInplace.SetQuery("/Text/Description", "Have a nice day.")
End If
pngStream.Close()
Remarks
BitmapFrame provides additional functionality not defined by BitmapSource by providing access to the Thumbnail associated with a particular frame of an image. BitmapFrame also supports the writing of metadata information by using the Metadata property or the CreateInPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter method.
Any BitmapFrame returned from a decoder is always frozen. If you require a modifiable copy, you must first create a copy of the BitmapFrame by using the Clone method.
Only Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) format images support multiple frames.
