High Speed Display

ImageGear Professional gives you complete control over how your application displays each of its images. Among the attributes you can set on an image-by-image basis are:

Auto-color reduction for low color modes
High-quality display for all video modes
Contrast/Brightness
Display effects (wipes, blocks, etc.)
Color reduction (several types)
Transparency
Gamma correction
Dithering
Rotation
The portion of the image to display (the array of pixels within the DIB bitmap is called the Image Rectangle)
How to fit the Image Rectangle to the Device Rectangle
The background fill pattern and color to use (for any area of the Device Rectangle left vacant by the image)
Region within the display area the image is to be displayed (this area is called the Device Rectangle)
Center image in window
Fit to width, height, window
Precision scrolling
Sub-region display
Auto-aspect ratio
Preserve black and preserve white display for 1-bit images
Sub-second display rotation supported
Faster image display
Anti-alias display
Huge image display capability
Merge 2 images during display
4x faster scale-to-gray
Center, zoom, or scroll a displayed image from within your application
Use an image's LUTs (Look-Up Tables) to translate the palette to another set of colors

All of the above display attributes affect the display only. They do not alter either the image bitmap or the color palette in the DIB.
