LEADTOOLS Image File Support (Leadtools.Codecs assembly)
LEAD Technologies, Inc

Load(Stream,Int64,Int64) Method

Example 





A System.IO.Stream containing the image data to load.
Offset from the beginning of the stream at which loading should start.
Total size of the image file data.
Loads an image file, letting you specify the location of the image data within the stream. .NET support
Syntax
public RasterImage Load( 
   Stream stream,
   long offset,
   long count
)
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function Load( _
   ByVal stream As Stream, _
   ByVal offset As Long, _
   ByVal count As Long _
) As RasterImage
'Usage
 
Dim instance As RasterCodecs
Dim stream As Stream
Dim offset As Long
Dim count As Long
Dim value As RasterImage
 
value = instance.Load(stream, offset, count)
public RasterImage Load( 
   Stream stream,
   long offset,
   long count
)
 function Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.Load(Stream,Int64,Int64)( 
   stream ,
   offset ,
   count 
)
public:
RasterImage^ Load( 
   Stream^ stream,
   int64 offset,
   int64 count
) 

Parameters

stream
A System.IO.Stream containing the image data to load.
offset
Offset from the beginning of the stream at which loading should start.
count
Total size of the image file data.

Return Value

The Leadtools.RasterImage object that this method loads.
Remarks

This method can be used to load an image file that is embedded in another stream.

The location of the image is specified as shown in the following simple illustration:

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.

This method will load all the pages in a multipage file. The resulting image will have the same bits/pixel and color order value of the image as it was stored in the file.

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 Image 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.

      Dim srcFileName As String = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Image1.cmp")

      ' into this stream.  After that, load the image from the stream given the offset

      Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()

      Dim headerSize As Integer = 4
      Dim i As Integer = 0

      ' Now append the file into this stream
