- pixelFormat
One of the predefined pixel formats defined by the PixelFormats class.
The following example shows how to create a PixelFormat and find the value of its properties.
Public Function createPixelFormat() As PixelFormat
' Create a PixelFormat object.
Dim myPixelFormat As New PixelFormat()
' Make this PixelFormat a Gray32Float pixel format.
myPixelFormat = PixelFormats.Gray32Float
' Get the number of bits-per-pixel for this format. Because
' the format is "Gray32Float", the float value returned will be 32.
Dim bpp As Integer = myPixelFormat.BitsPerPixel
' Get the collection of masks associated with this format.
Dim myChannelMaskCollection As IList(Of PixelFormatChannelMask) = (myPixelFormat.Masks)
' Capture the mask info in a string.
Dim stringOfValues As String = " "
Dim myMask As PixelFormatChannelMask
For Each myMask In myChannelMaskCollection
Dim myBytesCollection As IList(Of Byte) = myMask.Mask
Dim myByte As Byte
For Each myByte In myBytesCollection
stringOfValues = stringOfValues + myByte.ToString()
Next myByte
Next myMask
' Return the PixelFormat which, for example, could be
' used to set the pixel format of a bitmap by using it to set
' the DestinationFormat of a FormatConvertedBitmap.
Return myPixelFormat
End Function 'createPixelFormat
