BitmapDataExtensionsDrawInto(IReadableBitmapData, IReadWriteBitmapData, Rectangle, ScalingMode) Method

Draws the source IReadableBitmapData into the target IReadWriteBitmapData using scaling and blending. This method works between any pair of source and target KnownPixelFormats and supports quantizing. To copy a bitmap data into another one without blending use the CopyTo methods instead.

Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.Drawing.Imaging
Assembly: KGySoft.Drawing.Core (in KGySoft.Drawing.Core.dll) Version: 9.0.0
C#
public static void DrawInto(
	this IReadableBitmapData source,
	IReadWriteBitmapData target,
	Rectangle targetRectangle,
	ScalingMode scalingMode
)

Parameters

source  IReadableBitmapData
The source IReadableBitmapData to be drawn into the target.
target  IReadWriteBitmapData
The target IReadWriteBitmapData into which source should be drawn.
targetRectangle  Rectangle
A Rectangle that specifies the location and size of the drawn source.
scalingMode  ScalingMode
Specifies the scaling mode if the bitmap data to be drawn needs to be resized.

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

  Note

This method adjusts the degree of parallelization automatically, blocks the caller, and does not support cancellation or reporting progress. You can use the DrawInto(IReadableBitmapData, IReadWriteBitmapData, Rectangle, IQuantizer, IDitherer, ScalingMode, ParallelConfig) overload to configure these, while still executing the method synchronously. Alternatively, use the BeginDrawInto(IReadableBitmapData, IReadWriteBitmapData, Rectangle, Rectangle, IQuantizer, IDitherer, ScalingMode, AsyncConfig) or DrawIntoAsync(IReadableBitmapData, IReadWriteBitmapData, Rectangle, Rectangle, IQuantizer, IDitherer, ScalingMode, TaskConfig) (in .NET Framework 4.0 and above) methods to perform the operation asynchronously.

The method has the best performance if source and targetRectangle have the same size, or when scalingMode is NoScaling.

The image to be drawn is automatically clipped if targetRectangle exceeds bounds, or scalingMode is NoScaling and source and targetRectangle have different sizes.

target must be an IReadWriteBitmapData because it must be readable if blending is necessary. For write-only IWritableBitmapData instances you can use the CopyTo methods (without scaling).

If target can represent a narrower set of colors, then the result will be automatically quantized to the colors of the target.

Exceptions
