GifBitmapEncoder Class
Defines an encoder that is used to encode Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images do not support global preview, global thumbnails, global metadata, frame level thumbnails, or frame level metadata. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images do support multiple frames.
Encoding does not work in partial trust. See Windows Presentation Foundation Partial Trust Security for information on partial trust.
The following examples show how to decode and encode a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) image using the specific GifBitmapDecoder and GifBitmapEncoder objects. For the complete sample, see GIF Encoder and Decoder Sample
This example demonstrates how to decode a GIF image using a GifBitmapDecoder from a FileStream.
' Open a Stream and decode a GIF image Dim imageStreamSource As New FileStream("tulipfarm.gif", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) Dim decoder As New GifBitmapDecoder(imageStreamSource, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default) Dim bitmapSource As BitmapSource = decoder.Frames(0) ' Draw the Image Dim myImage As New Image() myImage.Source = bitmapSource myImage.Stretch = Stretch.None myImage.Margin = New Thickness(20)
This example demonstrates how to encode a BitmapSource into a GIF image using a GifBitmapEncoder.
Dim width As Integer = 128 Dim height As Integer = width Dim stride As Integer = CType(width / 8, Integer) Dim pixels(height * stride) As Byte ' Define the image palette Dim myPalette As BitmapPalette = BitmapPalettes.WebPalette ' Creates a new empty image with the pre-defined palette Dim image As BitmapSource = System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource.Create(width, height, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Indexed1, myPalette, pixels, stride) Dim stream As New FileStream("new.gif", FileMode.Create) Dim encoder As New GifBitmapEncoder() Dim myTextBlock As New TextBlock() myTextBlock.Text = "Codec Author is: " + encoder.CodecInfo.Author.ToString() encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(image)) encoder.Save(stream)
