Advanced functionality for image encoding

In This Topic

SDK allows to edit an image, which is divided into tiles, without reencoding the whole image.

This allows to edit very large images of unlimited size, which are consist from tiles and physically can not be loaded entirely into memory. Editing is implemented by changing the image tiles sequentially using an object, which implements the IRasterGridEditor interface.

Objects implementing IRasterGridEditor interface support the following methods:

IRasterGridEditor.GetRasterEditorGrid - returns an image grid as array of rectangles
IRasterGridEditor.SetImageRect - sets an image rectangle
IRasterGridEditor.SaveChanges - saves changes in image file
IRasterGridEditor.Save - saves image file to specified stream

IRasterGridEditor interface is implemented for TIFF (TiffFile) and JPEG2000 (Jpeg2000File) files.

The DecoderBase class allows to get an instance that implements the IRasterGridEditor interface using the DecoderBase.GetRasterGridEditor method.

Here is C#/VB.NET code that demonstrates how to get an image tile, change it and save back to the file:

/// <summary>
/// Gets an image of first tile of TIFF page,
/// rotates the tile image 180 degrees,
/// sets changed tile image as new image of first tile,
/// saves changes to the source TIFF file.
/// </summary>

        tiffFilename, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite))
    {
        using (Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Decoders.TiffDecoder decoder =
            new Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Decoders.TiffDecoder(stream))
        {
            // get raster grid editor
            Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.ImageFiles.IRasterGridEditor rasterGridEditor = decoder.GetRasterGridEditor();
            // get grid of raster regions
            System.Drawing.Rectangle[] grid = rasterGridEditor.GetRasterEditorGrid(pageIndex);
            if (grid == null || grid.Length == 0)
                throw new System.Exception("Image tiles cannot be changed.");

            // index of the region to change
            int rectIndex = 0;
            // get region to change
            System.Drawing.Rectangle region = grid[rectIndex];
            // image of changing region
            Vintasoft.Imaging.VintasoftImage regionImage;
            // create image renderer
            using (Vintasoft.Imaging.ImageRendering.ImageRenderer renderer =
                new Vintasoft.Imaging.ImageRendering.ImageRenderer(decoder, pageIndex))
            {
                // create region rendering task
                Vintasoft.Imaging.ImageRendering.ImageRenderingTask renderingTask =
                    Vintasoft.Imaging.ImageRendering.ImageRenderingTask.CreateImageRegion(region);

                regionImage = renderer.ExecuteRendering(renderingTask);
            }

            // rotate the tile image 180 degrees
            regionImage.Flip(Vintasoft.Imaging.ImageProcessing.Transforms.ImageRotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone);

            // set the tile image as new image of first tile
            rasterGridEditor.SetImageRect(pageIndex, rectIndex, regionImage, null);
            regionImage.Dispose();

            // save changes to the source TIFF file
