Windows.Graphics.Imaging Namespace

Enables the decoding, editing, and encoding of image files.

Classes

BitmapBuffer	Represents the pixel data buffer of a bitmap.
BitmapCodecInformation	Provides access to information about a decoder or encoder.
BitmapDecoder	Provides read access to bitmap container data as well as data from the first frame.
BitmapEncoder	Contains methods to create, edit and save images.
BitmapFrame	Provides read access to data within a single frame.
BitmapProperties	Provides read and write access to image properties and metadata.
BitmapPropertiesView	Provides read access to image properties and metadata. A particular instance of BitmapPropertiesView may represent the entire contents of the frame metadata, or any nested metadata block within the frame.
BitmapPropertySet	Represents a property set of BitmapTypedValue objects.
BitmapTransform	Contains transformations that can be applied to pixel data.
BitmapTypedValue	A value along with an enumeration specifying its data type.
ImageStream	An implementation of IRandomAccessStreamWithContent type used in the Imaging namespace.
PixelDataProvider	Provides access to the pixel data from a bitmap frame.
SoftwareBitmap	Represents an uncompressed bitmap.

Structs

BitmapBounds	Specifies a bounding rectangle.
BitmapPlaneDescription	Defines the format of a bitmap plane.
BitmapSize	Represents the size of a bitmap, in pixels.

Interfaces

IBitmapFrame	Exposes methods for operating on a single frame of an image.
IBitmapFrameWithSoftwareBitmap	Exposes methods for obtaining a SoftwareBitmap representation of an BitmapFrame.
IBitmapPropertiesView	Exposes methods for reading image metadata and properties.

Enums

BitmapAlphaMode	Specifies the alpha mode of pixel data.
BitmapBufferAccessMode	Specifies the access mode of a BitmapBuffer.
BitmapFlip	Specifies the flip operation to be performed on pixel data.
BitmapInterpolationMode	Specifies the interpolation mode used for scaling pixel data.
BitmapPixelFormat	Specifies the pixel format of pixel data. Each enumeration value defines a channel ordering, bit depth, and data type.
BitmapRotation	Specifies the rotation operation to be performed on pixel data.
ColorManagementMode	Specifies the color management behavior when obtaining pixel data.
ExifOrientationMode	Specifies the EXIF orientation flag behavior when obtaining pixel data.
JpegSubsamplingMode	Specifies which chroma subsampling mode will be used for image compression in JPEG images.
PngFilterMode	Specifies the filter used to optimize the image prior to image compression in PNG images.
TiffCompressionMode	Specifies the compression mode used for TIFF images.
