System.Windows.Media.Imaging Namespace
.NET Framework 3.0
Provides types that are used to encode and decode bitmap images.
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BitmapCodecInfo | Provides information about a given codec. This is an abstract class. |
| BitmapDecoder | Represents a container for bitmap frames. Each bitmap frame is a BitmapSource. This abstract class provides a base set of functionality for all derived decoder objects. |
| BitmapEncoder | Encodes a collection of BitmapFrame objects to an image stream. This is an abstract class. |
| BitmapFrame | Represents image data returned by a decoder and accepted by encoders. This is an abstract class. |
| BitmapImage | Provides a specialized BitmapSource that is optimized for loading images using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). |
| BitmapMetadata | Provides support for reading and writing metadata to and from a bitmap image. |
| BitmapMetadataBlob | Provides a placeholder for metadata items that cannot be converted from C# to an underlying data type that persists metadata. The blob is converted into an array of bytes to preserve the content. |
| BitmapPalette | Defines the available color palette for a supported image type. |
| BitmapPalettes | Defines several color palettes that are commonly used by bitmap images. |
| BitmapSizeOptions | Defines size-related attributes of a cached bitmap image. A bitmap is scaled based on values that are defined by this class. |
| BitmapSource | Represents a single, constant set of pixels at a certain size and resolution. This is an abstract class. |
| BmpBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder for bitmap (BMP) encoded images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| BmpBitmapEncoder | Defines an encoder that is used to encode bitmap (BMP) format images. |
| CachedBitmap | Provides caching functionality for a BitmapSource. |
| ColorConvertedBitmap | Changes the color space of a BitmapSource. This class cannot be inherited. |
| CroppedBitmap | Crops a BitmapSource. This class cannot be inherited. |
| DownloadProgressEventArgs | Provides data for the BitmapSource.DownloadProgress and BitmapDecoder.DownloadProgress events. |
| FormatConvertedBitmap | Provides pixel format conversion functionality for a BitmapSource. This class cannot be inherited. |
| GifBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) encoded images. |
| GifBitmapEncoder | Defines an encoder that is used to encode Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images. |
| IconBitmapDecoder | Defines a specialized decoder for icon (.ico) encoded images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter | Enables in-place updates to existing blocks of BitmapMetadata. This class cannot be inherited. |
| JpegBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder for Joint Photographics Experts Group (JPEG) encoded images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| JpegBitmapEncoder | Defines an encoder that is used to encode Joint Photographics Experts Group (JPEG) format images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| LateBoundBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder that requires delayed bitmap creation such as asynchronous image downloads. This class cannot be inherited. |
| PngBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder for Portable Network Graphics (PNG) encoded images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| PngBitmapEncoder | Defines an encoder that is used to encode Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| RenderTargetBitmap | Used to convert a Visual object into a bitmap. |
| TiffBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder for Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) encoded images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| TiffBitmapEncoder | Defines an encoder that is used to encode Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) format images. |
| TransformedBitmap | Scales and rotates a BitmapSource. This class cannot be inherited. |
| WmpBitmapDecoder | Defines a decoder for Microsoft Windows Media Photo encoded images. This class cannot be inherited. |
| WmpBitmapEncoder | Defines an encoder that is used to encode Microsoft Windows Media Photo images. |
| WriteableBitmap | Provides a BitmapSource that can be written to and updated. |
| Enumeration | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BitmapCacheOption | Specifies how a bitmap image takes advantage of memory caching. |
| BitmapCreateOptions | Specifies initialization options for bitmap images. |
| PngInterlaceOption | Specifies whether a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format image is interlaced during encoding. |
| Rotation | Specifies the rotation to apply to a bitmap image. |
| TiffCompressOption | Specifies the possible compression schemes for Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) bitmap images. |
