Constructor

WebPicture.Constructor(Source as Picture[, Format as String= "public.png"])

New in 2010r5

Creates a WebPicture from the passed Source Picture in the format specified by Format. Format is one of the Picture format class constants and defaults to PNG. By supplying a different format than the original picture format of the file, you can convert the picture to a new format.

Notes

The following table gives the values of the available picture format constants and their values.

Class Constant	Value
FormatBMP	com.microsoft.bmp
FormatGIF	com.compuserve.gif
FormatJPEG	public.jpeg
FormatPNG	public.png
FormatTIFF	public.tiff

Example

Convert a Picture, created at runtime to a WebPicture to display using a WebImageView:

Var p As New Picture(100, 100, 32)
p.Graphics.ForeColor = &c0000ff // Blue
p.Graphics.FillRect(10, 10, 50, 50)

Var wp As New WebPicture(p)
ImageView1.Picture = wp

To instead create the picture as a JPEG, use this code:

Var wp As New WebPicture(p, WebPicture.FormatJPEG)
