1. First, add the necessary using statements.
   1. Open the code for the form by right-clicking on the form and choosing View Code.
   2. At the top of the code, add the following statements:
      

      C#	Copy Code
      using System.IO; using System.Diagnostics; using ImageGear; using ImageGear.Core; using ImageGear.Windows.Forms; using ImageGear.Display; using ImageGear.Processing; using ImageGear.Formats;

2. Next add the following fields to Form1:
   

   C#	Copy Code
   // holds the image data private ImGearPage imGearPage = null; // controls how the page is displayed private ImGearPageDisplay imGearPageDisplay = null;

3. If you are using a Deployment (Runtime) licensing, add the license initialization code to the Form1 constructor(Form1()) just before the call to InitializeComponent. This is not necessary if you are using an Evaluation or Development (Toolkit) license.
   

   C#

   Copy Code

   //***The SetSolutionName, SetSolutionKey and possibly the SetOEMLicenseKey //methods must be called to distribute the runtime.*** //ImGearLicense.SetSolutionName("YourSolutionName"); //ImGearLicense.SetSolutionKey(12345, 12345, 12345, 12345); //Manually Reported Runtime licenses also require the following method //call to SetOEMLicenseKey. //ImGearLicense.SetOEMLicenseKey("2.0.AStringForOEMLicensing...");

Please add the ImGearEvaluationManager.Initialize() call if you are evaluating the product.

4. Below the code from the prior step, add the following calls to initialize the referenced formats:
   

   C#	Copy Code
   // Support for common formats: ImGearCommonFormats.Initialize();

5. Now, add the following code to the Load Page menu handler:
   

   C#

   Copy Code

   private void loadPageToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog(); openFileDialog1.Filter = ImGearFileFormats.GetSavingFilter(ImGearSavingFormats.UNKNOWN); if (DialogResult.OK == openFileDialog1.ShowDialog()) { using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(openFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)) { try { // Load the image into the page imGearPage = ImGearFileFormats.LoadPage(stream, 0); } catch (ImGearException ex) { Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); } } if (null != imGearPage && null != imGearPage.DIB && !imGearPage.DIB.IsEmpty()) { // create a new page display imGearPageDisplay = new ImGearPageDisplay(imGearPage); // associate the page display with the page view imGearPageView1.Display = imGearPageDisplay; // cause the page view to repaint imGearPageView1.Invalidate(); } } }

   The code above utilizes the following:
   

   ImGearPageDisplay Class	Constructs a new PageDisplay object for the given page.
   ImGearPageView.Invalidate	Invalidates the control thus causing it to repaint.
   ImGearFileFormats.LoadPage Method	Loads a file from a given stream and returns a new ImGearPage Class.
   ImGearFileFormats.GetSavingFilter Method	Gets a filter string which can be passed to a windows common dialog filter member.

   
   
6. Now go to the handler created for the Zoom In menu item. Add the following code to the routine:
   

   C#

   Copy Code

   if (null != imGearPageDisplay && !imGearPageDisplay.Page.DIB.IsEmpty()) { // Get the current zoom info ImGearZoomInfo igZoomInfo = imGearPageDisplay.GetZoomInfo(imGearPageView1); // Increase the zoom igZoomInfo.Horizontal.Value = igZoomInfo.Horizontal.Value * 1.25; igZoomInfo.Vertical.Value = igZoomInfo.Vertical.Value * 1.25; igZoomInfo.Horizontal.Fixed = true; igZoomInfo.Vertical.Fixed = true; // Set the new zoom values and repaint the view imGearPageDisplay.UpdateZoomFrom(igZoomInfo); imGearPageView1.Invalidate(); }

   The code above utilizes:
   

   ImGearPageDisplay.GetZoomInfo Method	Retrieves the current zoom information from the display and page view.
   ImGearPageDisplay.UpdateZoomFrom Method	Sets new zoom values from the given ImGearZoomInfo Structure object.
   ImGearZoomInfo Structure	Holds horizontal and vertical zoom values and settings.

   
   
7. Add the following code to the Zoom Out click handler:
   

   C#

   Copy Code

   if (null != imGearPageDisplay && !imGearPageDisplay.Page.DIB.IsEmpty()) { // Get the current zoom info ImGearZoomInfo igZoomInfo = imGearPageDisplay.GetZoomInfo(imGearPageView1); igZoomInfo.Horizontal.Value = igZoomInfo.Horizontal.Value * (1/1.25); igZoomInfo.Vertical.Value = igZoomInfo.Vertical.Value * (1/1.25); igZoomInfo.Horizontal.Fixed = true; igZoomInfo.Vertical.Fixed = true; // Set the new zoom values and repaint the view imGearPageDisplay.UpdateZoomFrom(igZoomInfo); imGearPageView1.Invalidate(); }

8. Add the code below to the Rotate 90 click handler:
   

   C#	Copy Code
   if (null != imGearPageDisplay && null != imGearPage && !imGearPageDisplay.Page.DIB.IsEmpty()) try { ImGearProcessing.Rotate(imGearPage, ImGearRotationValues.VALUE_90); imGearPageView1.Invalidate(); } catch (ImGearException ex) { Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); }

   The code above utilizes:
   

   ImGearProcessing.Rotate Method

   Rotates the given page by the given amount.

   
   
9. The code for the click handlers for the Rotate 180 and Rotate 270 menu items are the same as above except that the amount to rotate by is ImGearRotationValues.VALUE_180 and ImGearRotationValues.VALUE_270 respectively.
   
10. Lastly, add the click code for the Exit menu item as shown below:
    

    C#	Copy Code
    this.Close();

11. And now you are ready to compile and run the finished application.
