Bitmap.UnlockBits Method
.NET Framework 2.0
Unlocks this Bitmap from system memory.
Namespace: System.Drawing
Assembly: System.Drawing (in system.drawing.dll)
Assembly: System.Drawing (in system.drawing.dll)
The following code example demonstrates how to use the PixelFormat, Height, Width, and Scan0 properties; the LockBits and UnlockBits methods; and the ImageLockMode enumeration. This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. To run this example, paste it into a form and handle the form's Paint event by calling the LockUnlockBitsExample method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.
private void LockUnlockBitsExample(PaintEventArgs e) { // Create a new bitmap. Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap("c:\\fakePhoto.jpg"); // Lock the bitmap's bits. Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height); System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData bmpData = bmp.LockBits(rect, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, bmp.PixelFormat); // Get the address of the first line. IntPtr ptr = bmpData.Scan0; // Declare an array to hold the bytes of the bitmap. // This code is specific to a bitmap with 24 bits per pixels. int bytes = bmp.Width * bmp.Height * 3; byte[] rgbValues = new byte[bytes]; // Copy the RGB values into the array. System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(ptr, rgbValues, 0, bytes); // Set every red value to 255. for (int counter = 2; counter < rgbValues.Length; counter+=3) rgbValues[counter] = 255; // Copy the RGB values back to the bitmap System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(rgbValues, 0, ptr, bytes); // Unlock the bits. bmp.UnlockBits(bmpData); // Draw the modified image. e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 150); }
private void LockUnlockBitsExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create a new bitmap.
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap("c:\\fakePhoto.jpg");
// Lock the bitmap's bits.
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.get_Width(), bmp.get_Height());
System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData bmpData = bmp.LockBits(rect,
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadWrite,
bmp.get_PixelFormat());
// Get the address of the first line.
IntPtr ptr = bmpData.get_Scan0();
// Declare an array to hold the bytes of the bitmap.
// This code is specific to a bitmap with 24 bits per pixels.
int bytes = bmp.get_Width() * bmp.get_Height() * 3;
ubyte rgbValues[] = new ubyte[bytes];
// Copy the RGB values into the array.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(ptr, rgbValues, 0, bytes);
// Set every red value to 255.
for (int counter = 2; counter < rgbValues.get_Length(); counter+=3) {
rgbValues[counter] = 255;
}
// Copy the RGB values back to the bitmap
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(rgbValues, 0, ptr, bytes);
// Unlock the bits.
bmp.UnlockBits(bmpData);
// Draw the modified image.
e.get_Graphics().DrawImage(bmp, 0, 150);
} //LockUnlockBitsExample
