Problem resizing animated GIFs

Hi I am trying to resize an animated GIF using the LATEST evaluation version but i get the error.
Normal GIFs work fine but animated GIFs cause an exception

InvalidParameter
Leadtools.RasterException: Invalid parameter passed
   at Leadtools.RasterException.CheckErrorCode(Int32 code)
   at Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand.Run(IRasterImage image)


I am using the .NET API with this code...

                ResizeCommand resizeCommand = new ResizeCommand();

           
    RasterImage image = new RasterImage(Image.FromFile(@"c:\pen.gif"));
           
                resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Normal;

           
    resizeCommand.DestinationImage = new RasterImage(    RasterMemoryFlags.Managed,

           
           
           
           
                    25,

           
           
           
           
                    25,

           
           
           
           
                    8,

           
           
           
           
                    RasterByteOrder.Rgb ,

           
           
           
           
                    RasterViewPerspective.TopLeft,

           
           
           
           
                    image.Palette,

           
           
           
           
                    null);
                resizeCommand.Run(image);

                Debug.WriteLine("Saving now");

           
    Image resizedImage = resizeCommand.DestinationImage.ConvertToGdiPlusImage();
                resizedImage.Save(@"C:\out.gif");

Hello,

Try to use the following code to load an animated GIF file, resize it, and then save the result as animated gif file:
+---------------------------+
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing;
using Leadtools;
using Leadtools.Codecs;
...
private void button5_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int i =0;
IRasterImage image;           
RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs ();
ResizeCommand resizeCommand = new ResizeCommand();
image = codecs.Load(@"c:\qtrres.gif",0,CodecsLoadByteOrder.BgrOrGray,1,-1);
resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Normal;
resizeCommand.DestinationImage = new RasterImage (RasterMemoryFlags.Managed , image.Width / 2, image.Height / 2, image.BitsPerPixel, image.Order , image.ViewPerspective, image.Palette , null );

for( i=1;i<image.PageCount;i++)
{
image.Page = i;
resizeCommand.Run(image);
codecs.Save(resizeCommand.DestinationImage,@"C:\out1.gif",RasterImageFormat.Gif,8,1,1,1,CodecsSavePageMode.Append  );
}
MessageBox.Show("Image Saved...");

}
+---------------------------+

Thanks I have kinda got this to work now but not quite!

if we base the resize on this image (hey its just the one i have been given!)

http://www.stereo-types.com/v/test2.gif

The LEAD tools is cropping the image!


The image in question has the charater in the middle with lots of white
space, after resizing the character has been resized but also the whitespace is gone and the character has been Stretched!!

also the delay has been change to SUPER_FAST? AND it doesnt open in many viewers, ie is ok though

Whats happened here?

my result of the code you gave me is here

http://www.stereo-types.com/v/test2result.gif

Please can we sort this ASAP as i am required to choose an image manipulation API for work ASAP also

Thanks alan.

Hello,

In the same code, if you try to use resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Bicubic –Or- resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Resample (instead of using resizeCommand.Flags = RasterSizeFlags.Normal), do you get the same results?
