ImageGear .NET v25.0 - Updated
RemoveChannel Method
Example 




ImageGear.Core Assembly > ImageGear.Processing Namespace > ImGearRasterProcessing Class : RemoveChannel Method
Page to remove channel.
Position of the channel to be removed.
Removes the specified channel from the page's DIB and shifts remaining channels without transforming pixel data.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Shared Sub RemoveChannel( _
   ByVal page As ImGearRasterPage, _
   ByVal channelNumber As Integer _
) 
'Usage
 
Dim page As ImGearRasterPage
Dim channelNumber As Integer
 
ImGearRasterProcessing.RemoveChannel(page, channelNumber)
public static void RemoveChannel( 
   ImGearRasterPage page,
   int channelNumber
)
public: static void RemoveChannel( 
   ImGearRasterPage* page,
   int channelNumber
) 
public:
static void RemoveChannel( 
   ImGearRasterPage^ page,
   int channelNumber
) 

Parameters

page
Page to remove channel.
channelNumber
Position of the channel to be removed.
Remarks
channelNumber can be within the [0..ChannelCount-1] range.

Color Space is changed as follows:

Example
// Separate image into separate images for each channel.
ImGearChannelRef[] igChannelRef = ImGearRasterProcessing.SeparateChannels(igRasterPage);
// Remove the alpha channel from an RGBA image.
ImGearRasterProcessing.RemoveChannel(igRasterPage, 3);
// Save the page out without the alpha channel.
using (FileStream localFile = new FileStream("withoutalpha.jpg", FileMode.Create))
{
    ImGearFileFormats.SavePage(igRasterPage,localFile, 0, ImGearSavingModes.OVERWRITE, ImGearSavingFormats.JPG);
}
//Set the colorspace to RGBA again.
ImGearRasterProcessing.ConvertColorSpace(
    igRasterPage, new ImGearColorSpace(ImGearColorSpaceIDs.RGBA));
// Add the alpha channel back to the image.
ImGearRasterProcessing.InsertChannel(igRasterPage, 3, igChannelRef[3]);
// Remove the alpha channel added by the colorspace conversion.
ImGearRasterProcessing.RemoveChannel(igRasterPage, 4);
' Separate image into separate images for each channel.
Dim igChannelRef As ImGearChannelRef() = ImGearRasterProcessing.SeparateChannels(igRasterPage)
' Remove the alpha channel from an RGBA image.
ImGearRasterProcessing.RemoveChannel(igRasterPage, 3)
' Save the page out without the alpha channel.
Using localFile As New FileStream("withoutalpha.jpg", FileMode.Create)
    ImGearFileFormats.SavePage(igRasterPage, localFile, 0, ImGearSavingModes.OVERWRITE, ImGearSavingFormats.JPG)
End Using
'Set the colorspace to RGBA again.
ImGearRasterProcessing.ConvertColorSpace(igRasterPage, New ImGearColorSpace(ImGearColorSpaceIDs.RGBA))
' Add the alpha channel back to the image.
ImGearRasterProcessing.InsertChannel(igRasterPage, 3, igChannelRef(3))
' Remove the alpha channel added by the colorspace conversion.
ImGearRasterProcessing.RemoveChannel(igRasterPage, 4)
