Method

Picture.CopyColorChannels() As Picture

New in 2016r3

Supported for all project types and targets.

Copies just the color information from a Picture.

Notes

This method returns a clone of the color data in a picture with a solid mask.

The returned Picture object:

• has the same dimensions, resolutions and scale factors as the original.
• is a mutable bitmap
• uses alpha channels instead of masks (i.e. HasAlphaChannel will be True)
• is entirely opaque

Exceptions

• UnsupportedOperationException: When called on a vector or multi-representation image
• OutOfMemoryException if the picture cannot be created

Examples

Get the color channels from MyPic:

Var colorChannels As Picture
colorChannels = MyPic.CopyColorChannels
