Example

This example will load an image, sets a magic wand region to it, fills the region with blue before saving the image back to disk

Remarks

For color bitmaps:

If the value of the pixel at (x, y) is (125, 125, 125) and lowerToleranceColor is (20,30,15), then the lower stopping point is (105, 95, 110). If upperToleranceColor is (20,30,15), then the upper stopping point is (145,155,140).

For gray scale bitmaps:

The minimum channel tolerance value of lowerToleranceColor will be used to set the lower stopping point, and the value of upperToleranceColor will be used to set the upper stopping point. For example, if the value of the pixel at (x, y) is (125, 125, 125) and lowerToleranceColor is (20,30,15), the smallest value of the triplet (15) will be used to create the lower stopping point of (110,110,110). If upperToleranceColor is (10,25,20), the smallest value of that triplet (10) will be used to create the upper stopping point of (135,135,135).

This function 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 in Document/Medical Imaging.

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.
