CreateMaskFromRegion Method

Summary

Creates a 1-bit mask image from the region that is defined in the image.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public RasterImage CreateMaskFromRegion()

Public Function CreateMaskFromRegion() As RasterImage

- (nullable LTRasterImage *)createMaskFromRegion:(NSError **)error

public RasterImage createMaskFromRegion()

public: 
RasterImage^ CreateMaskFromRegion();

Return Value

The newly created RasterImage which will be updated with a 1-bit, black-and-white image, where pixels from the region are white, and all others are black.

Remarks

Example

This example will load an image, sets a color region using black, and then creates a 1-bit mask image from that image and saves it to disk.
