InitAlpha Property

Summary
Indicates whether to initialize the alpha channel when loading images as 32 or 64-bit.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public bool InitAlpha { get; set; } 
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL initAlpha; 
public boolean getInitAlpha() 
public void setInitAlpha(boolean value) 
public: 
property bool InitAlpha { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
} 
InitAlpha # get and set (CodecsLoadOptions)

Property Value

Value Description
true To set the alpha channel to ones (0xFF for 8-bit and OxFFFF for 16-bit). true is the default value.
false To retain the alpha channel values from the original bitmap.
Remarks

The default value for this property is true.

When loading 32-bit or 64-bit images that are known to have valid alpha channel information, you should set this property to false if you wish to retain the alpha channel in the loaded image.

The following formats will ignore this option, and will always retain alpha channel information during load:
