Encoder.SaveFlag Field

Definition

Namespace:

System.Drawing.Imaging

Assembly:

System.Drawing.Common.dll

Source:

Encoder.cs

Represents an Encoder object that is initialized with the globally unique identifier for the save flag parameter category.

public: static initonly System::Drawing::Imaging::Encoder ^ SaveFlag;

public static readonly System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder SaveFlag;

 staticval mutable SaveFlag : System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder

Public Shared ReadOnly SaveFlag As Encoder 

Field Value

Encoder

Examples

The following example creates three Bitmap objects: one from a BMP file, one from a JPEG file, and one from a PNG file. The code saves all three images in a single, multiple-frame TIFF file.

Remarks

When you pass a parameter to an image encoder, the parameter is encapsulated in an EncoderParameter object. One of the fields of the EncoderParameter object is a GUID that specifies the category of the parameter. Use the static fields of the Encoder class to retrieve an Encoder that contains parameters of the desired category.

The image encoders that are built into GDI+ receive parameters that belong to several categories. The following table lists all the categories and the GUID associated with each category.
