combineMode
The action to take regarding the existing image region, if one is defined.

Creates or updates the image region by adding a region that consists of all the pixels that fall in the given RGB color range. Supported in Silverlight, Windows Phone 7

Specifies the minimum (inclusive) R, G and B values. A pixel must have R,G, and B all greater than or equal to lowerColor and less than or equal to upperColor to be included in the region.
upperColor
Specifies the maximum (inclusive) R, G and B values. A pixel must have R,G, and B all greater than or equal to lowerColor and less than or equal to upperColor to be included in the region.

Example

This example will load an image, adds a region corresponding to all colors that have an rgb that includes green but no red and no blue, run the InvertCommand to show the affected area before saving the image back to disk.

Remarks

This method uses the RGB color model to set a region based on a color range.

To be added to the region a color must fall in the range lowerColor..upperColor. To set a region for all pure red, specify lowerColor and upperColor as follows:

            lowerColor RGB(1,0,0)
            upperColor RGB(255,0,0)
            

Note that this would fail to include many colors that look red to the eye (like RGB(255,4,4)).

This method supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical Imaging editions.

To update an existing region, you specify how the new region is to be combined with the existing one using the combineMode parameter. For more information, refer to RasterRegionCombineMode.

For more information, refer to Creating a Region.

For more information, refer to Saving A Region.

For more information, refer to Working with the Existing Region.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Silverlight, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7, MAC OS/X (Intel Only), Windows Phone 7
