Load(string,LeadRect) Method

Summary

Loads the specified rectangle from the specified image file using default options.

Syntax

C++

public RasterImage Load( 
   string fileName, 
   LeadRect tile 
)

Public Overloads Function Load( _ 
   ByVal fileName As String, _ 
   ByVal tile As LeadRect _ 
) As RasterImage

public: 
RasterImage^ Load(  
   String^ fileName, 
   LeadRect tile 
)

Parameters

fileName
A String containing the name of the image file to load.

tile
A LeadRect describing the tile/area of the image to load.

Return Value

The RasterImage object that this method loads.

Remarks

This method loads a section of an image file (any format). The section begins is defined by tile rectangle.

LEADTOOLS will attempt to load corrupted files so you can see at least a portion of the image. For these images, the load methods succeed, but LoadStatus will return an error code.

Use the CodecsLoadOptions class to set up other load option parameters before calling this method.

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

For supported formats, refer to Summary of All Supported File Formats.

LEADTOOLS loads all PDF files as Raster PDF uncompressed RasterImageFormat.RasPdf, regardless of the compression and color space used when saving the file.

The CodecsLoadOptions.AllPages property controls whether RasterCodecs will try to load all pages or just the first page if the image data contains multiple pages.

Example

This example will create a rectangle area from an image on disk.
