Clone() Method

Summary

Creates an exact copy of the current page of this RasterImage.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public RasterImage Clone()

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

public java.lang.Object clone() throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException;

public: 
RasterImage^ Clone();

def Clone(self):

Return Value

The RasterImage this method creates.

Remarks

You can also use the RasterImage constructor to create an exact copy of an existing RasterImage.

This method copies only the current active page and no metadata information is copied. To create an exact copy of a RasterImage object use the CloneAll method.

To clone an image with support for a progress event, refer to CloneCommand.

Example

This example loads a multipage image and clones it in 3 different ways.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color; 
using Leadtools.Dicom; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
using Leadtools.Controls; 
using Leadtools.Svg; 
 
 
public void CloneExample() 
{ 
	RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
 
	string srcFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "eye.gif"); 
 
	// Load the multi-page image 
	RasterImage srcImage = codecs.Load(srcFileName); 
	Console.WriteLine("Pages in source image: {0}", srcImage.PageCount); 
 
	// Use the Clone method to clone this image 
	// Notice, this method only clones the current active page only 
	RasterImage destImage1 = srcImage.Clone(); 
	Console.WriteLine("Pages in image created with Clone: {0}", destImage1.PageCount); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage1.PageCount == 1); 
 
	// Use the Clone rectangle method to clone this image 
	// Notice, this method also clones the current active page only 
	LeadRect rc = new LeadRect(0, 0, srcImage.Width / 2, srcImage.Height / 2); 
	Console.WriteLine("Cloning with a rectangle = {0}", rc.ToString()); 
	RasterImage destImage2 = srcImage.Clone(rc); 
	Console.WriteLine("Pages in image created with Clone(LeadRect): {0}", destImage2.PageCount); 
	Console.WriteLine("Image created with Clone(LeadRect) size = {0} by {1}", destImage2.Width, destImage2.Height); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage2.PageCount == 1); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage2.Width == srcImage.Width / 2); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage2.Height == srcImage.Height / 2); 
 
	// Use the CloneAll method, this should create a copy 
	// of all the pages 
	RasterImage destImage3 = srcImage.CloneAll(); 
	Console.WriteLine("Pages in image created with CloneAll: {0}", destImage3.PageCount); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage3.PageCount == srcImage.PageCount); 
 
	// Use the CloneCommand, this allows you to have a progress 
	// bar as well as control the memory flags, here 
	// we will create a destination image using disk memory. 
	CloneCommand cloneCmd = new CloneCommand(); 
	cloneCmd.Progress += new EventHandler<RasterCommandProgressEventArgs>(cloneCmd_Progress); 
	cloneCmd.CreateFlags = RasterMemoryFlags.Disk; 
	cloneCmd.Run(srcImage); 
	cloneCmd.Progress -= new EventHandler<RasterCommandProgressEventArgs>(cloneCmd_Progress); 
 
	RasterImage destImage4 = cloneCmd.DestinationImage; 
	Console.WriteLine("Pages in image created with CloneCommand: {0}", destImage4.PageCount); 
	Console.WriteLine("Disk memory model of image created with CloneCommand: {0}", destImage4.IsDiskMemory); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage4.PageCount == 1); 
	Assert.IsTrue(destImage4.IsDiskMemory); 
 
	// Clean up 
	destImage4.Dispose(); 
	destImage3.Dispose(); 
	destImage2.Dispose(); 
	destImage1.Dispose(); 
	srcImage.Dispose(); 
	codecs.Dispose(); 
} 
 
void cloneCmd_Progress(object sender, RasterCommandProgressEventArgs e) 
{ 
	if (e.Percent == 0) 
		Console.WriteLine("Clone progress started"); 
	if (e.Percent == 100) 
		Console.WriteLine("Clone progress ended");
