Features of LEADTOOLS for Pocket PC 2002

• File Format Support - Read, write and convert image files of the most popular standard image formats, including JPEG, GIF, TIFF (including G3/G4, LZW, JTIF...), BMP, JPEG2000, CMP, CMW, FAX, PCX, PNG, TGA, and many more!

• Image Processing - Use more than 80 digital filters and transforms to process images. Smooth, sharpen, edge detect/enhance, modify brightness/contrast/gamma, resize and rotate images using various resampling techniques (including bicubic), and much more.

• Color Conversion - Convert between color depths, such as 24-bit true-color, 8-bit indexed, 1-bit black/white, and many more. Changing the color depth changes the amount of data stored per pixel, which alters an image's memory/disk requirements and reduces transmission times.

• Compression - Compress images using a wide variety of compression algorithms, including JPEG, CMP, LZW, G3/G4, Huffman, run-length, JPEG 2000, and CMW.

• Image Display/Effects - Render images to the device while controlling position/scaling, resample method, brightness/contrast/gamma, color-reduction/dithering, image(source) and device(destination) clipping, and more. Browse a group of images using a ImageList control , apply 2000+ paint transitions and effects between viewed images, play animations such as animated GIF files.

• Internet - Includes functions to load images from any ()(())(())() or memory streams.
