TIELayer.CopyToBitmap

Declaration

procedure CopyToBitmap(var Dest: TIEBitmap; CreateWidth : Integer = -1; CreateHeight : Integer = -1; EnableAlpha: Boolean = True; UseDisplayAR: Boolean = True); virtual; abstract;

Description

Creates a bitmap representation of the current layer.
You do not need to create Dest. It will be automatically created and sized as required.
If CreateWidth and CreateHeight are not specified, the bitmap will be created at the current size of the layer.
Set EnableAlpha to false if you do not want as alpha channel applied to Dest.
If UseDisplayAR is true, then the image will be returned with the same aspect ratio it is displayed, If false, it is stretched to the specified CreateWidth and CreateHeight dimensions.

Note:
◼ You must free Dest
◼ TIEImageLayers will return an unrotated bitmap, even if Rotate is specified

Example

// Save the current layer as an image
var
  bmp: TIEBitmap;
Begin
  ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer.CopyToBitmap( bmp );
  bmp.Write( 'D:\MyLayer.jpg' );
  bmp.Free;
end;

// Assign Layer 1 to another ImageEnView
var
  bmp: TIEBitmap;
begin
  bmp := TIEBitmap.create;
  ImageEnView1.Layers[1].CopyToBitmap( bmp, ImageEnView2.ClientWidth, ImageEnView2.ClientHeight );
  ImageEnView2.IEBitmap.Assign( bmp );
  ImageEnView2.Update;
  bmp.Free();
end;

// Show a preview in ImageEnView2 of the layer selected in ImageEnView1
procedure Tfmain.ImageEnView1LayerSelectionChange(Sender: TObject);
var
  bmp: TIEBitmap;
begin
  bmp := ImageEnView2.IEBitmap;
  ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer.CopyToBitmap( bmp, ImageEnView2.IdealImageWidth, ImageEnView2.IdealImageWidth );
  ImageEnView2.Update();
end;
