GrayScaleExtendedCommand Class
See Also  Members   Example 



Converts any image to a gray scale image without changing its resolution.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Class GrayScaleExtendedCommand 
   Inherits RasterCommand
   Implements IRasterCommand 
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As GrayScaleExtendedCommand
C# 
public class GrayScaleExtendedCommand : RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 
C++/CLI 
public ref class GrayScaleExtendedCommand : public RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 

Example

Run the GrayScaleExtendedCommand on an image with RedFactor = 300, GreenFactor = 590, and BlueFactor = 110.

Visual BasicCopy Code
Public Sub GrayScaleExtendedCommandExample()
   RasterCodecs.Startup()
   Dim codecs As New RasterCodecs()
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = True

   Dim leadImage As RasterImage = codecs.Load(LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Master.jpg")

   ' Prepare the command
   Dim command As GrayScaleExtendedCommand = New GrayScaleExtendedCommand
   command.RedFactor = 300
   command.GreenFactor = 590
   command.BlueFactor = 110
   command.Run(leadImage)
   codecs.Save(leadImage, LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Result.jpg", RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24)

   RasterCodecs.Shutdown()
End Sub
C#Copy Code
public void GrayScaleExtendedCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs.Startup(); 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Master.jpg"); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   GrayScaleExtendedCommand command = new GrayScaleExtendedCommand(); 
   command.RedFactor   = 300; 
   command.GreenFactor = 590; 
   command.BlueFactor  = 110; 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Result.jpg", RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24); 
 
   RasterCodecs.Shutdown(); 
}

Remarks

  • RedFactor + GreenFactor + BlueFactor must equal 1000. (Internally the values are divided by 1000).

  • For each pixel in the image the red, green and blue values are modified by the RedFactor, GreenFactor and BlueFactor properties, respectively. This allows the user to give more weight to one color, essentially enhancing that color, before the pixel is converted to grayscale.
  • For example, if an object of this class has the RedFactor set to 500, the GreenFactor set to 250 and the BlueFactor set to 250, the red value of each pixel will get 50 percent of the weight when determining the grayscale value. The green value will get 25 percent of the weight and the blue value will get 25 percent of the weight when determining the grayscale value. This highlights or enhances the red in the image, prior to conversion to grayscale.
  • This class 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 toolkits.
  • This command does not support signed images.
