Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to construct a new bitmap from a file, using the GetPixel and SetPixel methods to recolor the image. It also uses the PixelFormat and Height properties.

This example is designed to be used with a Windows Forms that contains a Label, PictureBox, and Button named Label1, PictureBox1, and Button1, respectively. Paste the code into the form and associate the Button1_Click method with the button's Click event.


Dim image1 As Bitmap

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Try
        ' Retrieve the image.
        image1 = New Bitmap( _
            "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\music.bmp", _
            True)

        Dim x, y As Integer

        ' Loop through the images pixels to reset color.
        For x = 0 To image1.Width - 1
            For y = 0 To image1.Height - 1
                Dim pixelColor As Color = image1.GetPixel(x, y)
                Dim newColor As Color = _
                    Color.FromArgb(pixelColor.R, 0, 0)
                image1.SetPixel(x, y, newColor)
            Next
        Next

        ' Set the PictureBox to display the image.
        PictureBox1.Image = image1

        ' Display the pixel format in Label1.
        Label1.Text = "Pixel format: " + image1.PixelFormat.ToString()

    Catch ex As ArgumentException
        MessageBox.Show("There was an error." _
            & "Check the path to the image file.")
    End Try
End Sub
