System.Windows.Media.Imaging Namespace

Provides types that are used to encode and decode bitmap images.

Classes

BitmapCodecInfo	Provides information about an imaging codec.
BitmapDecoder	Represents a container for bitmap frames. Each bitmap frame is a BitmapSource. This abstract class provides a base set of functionality for all derived decoder objects.
BitmapEncoder	Encodes a collection of BitmapFrame objects to an image stream.
BitmapFrame	Represents image data returned by a decoder and accepted by encoders.
BitmapImage	Provides a specialized BitmapSource that is optimized for loading images using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML).
BitmapMetadata	Provides support for reading and writing metadata to and from a bitmap image.
BitmapMetadataBlob	Provides a placeholder for metadata items that cannot be converted from C# to an underlying data type that persists metadata. The blob is converted into an array of bytes to preserve the content.
BitmapPalette	Defines the available color palette for a supported image type.
BitmapPalettes	Defines several color palettes that are commonly used by bitmap images.
BitmapSizeOptions	Defines size-related attributes of a cached bitmap image. A bitmap is scaled based on values that are defined by this class.
BitmapSource	Represents a single, constant set of pixels at a certain size and resolution.
BmpBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder for bitmap (BMP) encoded images.
BmpBitmapEncoder	Defines an encoder that is used to encode bitmap (BMP) format images.
CachedBitmap	Provides caching functionality for a BitmapSource.
ColorConvertedBitmap	Changes the color space of a BitmapSource.
CroppedBitmap	Crops a BitmapSource.
DownloadProgressEventArgs	Provides data for the DownloadProgress and DownloadProgress events.
FormatConvertedBitmap	Provides pixel format conversion functionality for a BitmapSource.
GifBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) encoded images.
GifBitmapEncoder	Defines an encoder that is used to encode Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images.
IconBitmapDecoder	Defines a specialized decoder for icon (.ico) encoded images.
InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter	Enables in-place updates to existing blocks of BitmapMetadata.
JpegBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder for Joint Photographics Experts Group (JPEG) encoded images.
JpegBitmapEncoder	Defines an encoder that is used to encode Joint Photographics Experts Group (JPEG) format images.
LateBoundBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder that requires delayed bitmap creation such as asynchronous image downloads.
PngBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder for Portable Network Graphics (PNG) encoded images.
PngBitmapEncoder	Defines an encoder that is used to encode Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format images.
RenderTargetBitmap	Converts a Visual object into a bitmap.
TiffBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder for Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) encoded images.
TiffBitmapEncoder	Defines an encoder that is used to encode Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) format images.
TransformedBitmap	Scales and rotates a BitmapSource.
WmpBitmapDecoder	Defines a decoder for Microsoft Windows Media Photo encoded images.
WmpBitmapEncoder	Defines an encoder that is used to encode Microsoft Windows Media Photo images.
WriteableBitmap	Provides a BitmapSource that can be written to and updated.

Enums

BitmapCacheOption	Specifies how a bitmap image takes advantage of memory caching.
BitmapCreateOptions	Specifies initialization options for bitmap images.
PngInterlaceOption	Specifies whether a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format image is interlaced during encoding.
Rotation	Specifies the rotation to apply to a bitmap image.
TiffCompressOption	Specifies the possible compression schemes for Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) bitmap images.
