IPBinarizeEccentricity Property

Description

Gets the eccentricity value set by the last call to the Binarize or AutoBinarize method.

Property Type

Read-only property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property IPBinarizeEccentricity As Long

Return Type

The eccentricity value which determines the shape of the halftone grid.

Valid range is -256 to 256.

At the extreme values, -256 and 256, the grid becomes linear.

At the midpoint, 0, the grid consists of circles/squares.

Intermediate values give intermediately shaped elliptical dots.

Remarks

The AutoBinarize method will set this value based on what it determines was the optimal setting for the image during the call. If you have similar images, you can call the Binarize method using this value as well as the other values set by the AutoBinarize method. This will be significantly faster than calling the AutoBinarize method for each image.

Note: This value is also set with the value that is passed into the Binarize method. If you call the Binarize method with some other value, this property will reflect that new value.

This property is read-only at run time and is not available at design time.
