GrayScaleExtendedCommand Class

Summary

Converts any image to a gray scale image without changing its resolution.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class GrayScaleExtendedCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class GrayScaleExtendedCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTGrayScaleExtendedCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class GrayScaleExtendedCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class GrayScaleExtendedCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

RedFactor + GreenFactor + BlueFactor must equal 1000. (Internally the values are divided by 1000).
For each pixel in the image the red, green and blue values are modified by the RedFactor, GreenFactor and BlueFactor properties, respectively. This allows the user to give more weight to one color, essentially enhancing that color, before the pixel is converted to grayscale.
For example, if an object of this class has the RedFactor set to 500, the GreenFactor set to 250 and the BlueFactor set to 250, the red value of each pixel will get 50 percent of the weight when determining the grayscale value. The green value will get 25 percent of the weight and the blue value will get 25 percent of the weight when determining the grayscale value. This highlights or enhances the red in the image, prior to conversion to grayscale.
This class supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
This command does not support signed images.

For more information, refer to Grayscale Images.

Example

Run the GrayScaleExtendedCommand on an image with RedFactor = 300, GreenFactor = 590, and BlueFactor = 110.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color; 
 
public void GrayScaleExtendedCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "sample5.cmp")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   GrayScaleExtendedCommand command = new GrayScaleExtendedCommand(); 
   command.RedFactor = 300; 
   command.GreenFactor = 590; 
   command.BlueFactor = 110; 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Result.jpg"), RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24); 
 
}
