BitmapDataExtensionsCloneAsync(IReadableBitmapData, KnownPixelFormat, Color32, Byte, NullableRectangle, TaskConfig) Method

Gets the clone of the specified portion of source with the specified pixelFormat and color settings asynchronously.

Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.Drawing.Imaging
Assembly: KGySoft.Drawing.Core (in KGySoft.Drawing.Core.dll) Version: 8.1.0
C#
public static Task<IReadWriteBitmapData?> CloneAsync(
	this IReadableBitmapData source,
	KnownPixelFormat pixelFormat,
	Color32 backColor = default,
	byte alphaThreshold = 128,
	Rectangle? sourceRectangle = null,
	TaskConfig? asyncConfig = null
)

Parameters

source  IReadableBitmapData
An IReadableBitmapData instance to be cloned.
pixelFormat  KnownPixelFormat
The desired pixel format of the result.
backColor  Color32  (Optional)
If pixelFormat does not support alpha or supports only single-bit alpha, then specifies the color of the background. Source pixels with alpha, which will be opaque in the result will be blended with this color. The Color32.A property of the background color is ignored. This parameter is optional.
Default value: The default value of the Color32 type, which has the same RGB values as Black.
alphaThreshold  Byte  (Optional)
If pixelFormat can represent only single-bit alpha or pixelFormat is an indexed format and the target palette contains a transparent color, then specifies a threshold value for the Color32.A property, under which the color is considered transparent. If 0, then the result will not have transparent pixels. This parameter is optional.
Default value: 128.
sourceRectangle  NullableRectangle  (Optional)
A Rectangle that specifies the portion of the source to be cloned, or to clone the entire source. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .
asyncConfig  TaskConfig  (Optional)
The configuration of the asynchronous operation such as parallelization, cancellation, reporting progress, etc. When Progress is set in this parameter, then this library always passes a DrawingOperation instance to the generic methods of the IAsyncProgress interface. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

TaskIReadWriteBitmapData
A task that represents the asynchronous operation. Its result is the new IReadWriteBitmapData instance that represents the clone of the specified source, or , if the operation was canceled and the ThrowIfCanceled property of the asyncConfig parameter was .

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IReadableBitmapData. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

This method is not a blocking call even if the MaxDegreeOfParallelism property of the asyncConfig parameter is 1.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeExceptionpixelFormat does not specify a valid format.
