TImageEnIO.NativePixelFormat

TImageEnIO.NativePixelFormat


Declaration

property NativePixelFormat: Boolean;


Description

By default, ImageEn converts all paletted images to 24 bit (true color). Only black/white images are stored in the original format with 1 bit per pixel.
Setting NativePixelFormat to True disables the conversion and uses the image's native format.

Note:
Use of NativePixelFormat will prevent execution of some image processing operations
Setting ImageEnView1.IO.NativePixelFormat is the same as setting ImageEnView1.IO.Params.NativePixelFormat
LegacyBitmap must be False to enable NativePixelFormat
       

Example

If you have a 16 bit gray scale TIFF and you want to work with 16 bit gray scale pixels, you must write this before loading the image:
ImageEnView1.LegacyBitmap := False;  // Do not use TBitmap
ImageEnView1.IO.NativePixelFormat := True; // Use the original pixel format

Now you can read the pixels using:
word = ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Pixels_ie16g[x,y];
