Pixelate Method

Description:

Redraws the image referenced by pPage object using what appear to be very large pixels. It uses imageWidth and imageHeight to specify how many "apparent pixels" you want in the result. InputMode tells ImageGear what to do with the block of pixels it reads in. It lets you to compute the output of each "apparent pixel" as the average, minimum, maximum, or central pixel in the block. Giving the same value to a group of pixels can effectively reduce the image resolution, making it appear you have zoomed in on a smaller image.

When the outputMode is set to IG_RESAMPLE_OUT_CIRCLE the background color surrounding the output circles is provided by IGEffectsCtl.BackColor Property.

This method takes into account the ROI settings of pPage object, that are accessible via the IGPage Object.ROI Property. By default ROI is set to the entire image.

Syntax:

      Pixelate (pPage As IGPage, imageWidth As Long, imageHeight As
Long, inputMode As enumIGResampleInModes, outputMode As
enumIGResampleOutModes, radius As Long)

Parameters:

Name	Description
pPage	Reference to IGPage Object for which to apply the pixelate effect.
imageWidth	Distance between the new pixels in the horizontal direction.
imageHeight	Distance between the new pixels in the vertical direction.
inputMode	Any value of enumIGResampleInModes Enumeration.
outputMode	Any value of enumIGResampleOutModes Enumeration.
radius	Radius of the new pixels in pixel values in case if outputMode is set to IG_RESAMPLE_OUT_CIRCLE.

Return Value:

N/A

Bits Per Pixel:

8-bit gray level, 9-16-bit gray level, 24, and 32
