ImageNode Class

Article
10/19/2012

Represents a ContextNode for a two-dimensional region where any non-ink images may exist in the application.

Namespace: System.Windows.Ink
Assembly: IAWinFX (in IAWinFX.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class ImageNode _
    Inherits ContextNode
'Usage
Dim instance As ImageNode

public sealed class ImageNode : ContextNode

public ref class ImageNode sealed : public ContextNode

public final class ImageNode extends ContextNode

Remarks

The InkAnalyzer does not produce ImageNode objects. The application uses the CreateSubNode(ContextNodeType) method to add the ImageNode objects to the context node tree. If the state of the analyzer is persisted, these nodes can be persisted as well.

Future recognizers may use the regions defined by the ImageNode objects to determine if any ink annotates the non-ink image.

An ImageNode cannot have any children.

Examples

The following example adds an ImageNode to an InkAnalyzer, theInkAnalyzer, for an Image named theImage. It sets the location of the ImageNode to the location of the Image and the Data property to the Source property of the Image.

' Add image node 
Dim pictureNode As ImageNode = _
    CType(theInkAnalyzer.RootNode.CreateSubNode(ContextNodeType.Image), _
    ImageNode)

' Set the location of the image node 
Dim imageTop As Double = InkCanvas.GetTop(theImage)
Dim imageLeft As Double = InkCanvas.GetLeft(theImage)

Dim imageBounds As New Rect(imageLeft, imageTop, theImage.Width, theImage.Height)
pictureNode.SetLocation(New AnalysisRegion(imageBounds))

' Serialize the image to a byte array and set ImageNode.Data to the array. 
' theImage.Source is a BitmapImage. 
Dim bmp As New BmpBitmapEncoder()
bmp.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(CType(theImage.Source, BitmapImage)))
Dim stream As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
Try
    bmp.Save(stream)
    pictureNode.Data = stream.ToArray()
Finally
    stream.Dispose()
End Try

// Add image node
ImageNode pictureNode = (ImageNode)
    theInkAnalyzer.RootNode.CreateSubNode(ContextNodeType.Image);

// Set the location of the image node 
double imageTop = InkCanvas.GetTop(theImage);
double imageLeft = InkCanvas.GetLeft(theImage);

Rect imageBounds = new Rect(imageLeft, imageTop, theImage.Width, theImage.Height);
pictureNode.SetLocation(new AnalysisRegion(imageBounds));

// Serialize the image to a byte array and set ImageNode.Data to the array. 
// theImage.Source is a BitmapImage.
BmpBitmapEncoder bmp = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
bmp.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create((BitmapImage)theImage.Source));
using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
    bmp.Save(stream);
    pictureNode.Data = stream.ToArray();
}
