The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code gets the color of a pixel in a bitmap, and then fills a rectangle with that color.
Private Sub GetPixel_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
' Create a Bitmap object from an image file.
Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap("Grapes.jpg")
' Get the color of a pixel within myBitmap.
Dim pixelColor As Color = myBitmap.GetPixel(50, 50)
' Fill a rectangle with pixelColor.
Dim pixelBrush As New SolidBrush(pixelColor)
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(pixelBrush, 0, 0, 100, 100)
End Sub
private void GetPixel_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create a Bitmap object from an image file.
Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("Grapes.jpg");
// Get the color of a pixel within myBitmap.
Color pixelColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(50, 50);
// Fill a rectangle with pixelColor.
SolidBrush pixelBrush = new SolidBrush(pixelColor);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(pixelBrush, 0, 0, 100, 100);
}
private:
void GetPixel_Example( PaintEventArgs^ e )
{
// Create a Bitmap object from an image file.
Bitmap^ myBitmap = gcnew Bitmap( "Grapes.jpg" );
// Get the color of a pixel within myBitmap.
Color pixelColor = myBitmap->GetPixel( 50, 50 );
// Fill a rectangle with pixelColor.
SolidBrush^ pixelBrush = gcnew SolidBrush( pixelColor );
e->Graphics->FillRectangle( pixelBrush, 0, 0, 100, 100 );
