DitherLine(IntPtr,IntPtr) Method

Summary
Used in a loop, dithers the line in a specified unmanaged memory input buffer, and writes it to an unmanaged memory output buffer.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public void DitherLine( 
   IntPtr srcBuffer, 
   IntPtr destBuffer 
) 
public void ditherLine( 
  byte srcBuffer[],  
  byte destBuffer[] 
) 
public: 
void DitherLine(  
   IntPtr srcBuffer, 
   IntPtr destBuffer 
)  
def DitherLine(self,srcBuffer,destBuffer): 

Parameters

srcBuffer
Pointer to the unmanaged memory input buffer.

destBuffer
Pointer to the unmanaged memory output buffer.

Remarks

This method uses the dithering method specified in the DitheringMethod property. Therefore, it provides better 4-bit or 8-bit output than the RasterBufferConverter.Convert method.

This method uses the palette that the StartDithering method specifies. The output of the DitherLine method is made up of 1-bit, 4-bit, or 8-bit indexes to the specified palette. StopDithering cleans up the allocated variables and buffers. For a description of how the methods relate to each other, refer to the StartDithering.

This method does not support signed images.
