WindowLevelEffect Class

Summary

Fills and applies window leveling on the specified image.

Syntax

C++

public class WindowLevelEffect : ShaderEffect

  
Public Class WindowLevelEffect  
   Inherits System.Windows.Media.Effects.ShaderEffect 
   Implements System.Windows.Media.Animation.IAnimatable

public ref class WindowLevelEffect : public System.Windows.Media.Effects.ShaderEffect, System.Windows.Media.Animation.IAnimatable

Remarks

Provides "on demand" window-leveling as an effect and does not alter the image data.

To learn more about window-leveling, refer to RasterImage.WindowLevel, RasterImage.WindowLevelExt, WindowLevelCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core.WindowLevelExtCommand, Saving Window-Leveled Images , and Changing Brightness and Contrast.
