TIEBitmap.CopyFromTBitmap

Declaration

procedure CopyFromTBitmap(Source: TBitmap);

Description

Copies the image from the Source TBitmap object.
Permitted values for source PixelFormat are: pf1bit, pf4bit, pf8bit, pf15bit, pf16bit, pf24bit, pf32bit, pfDevice (pfDevice images will be treated as pf24bit).
If Location is ieTBitmap, then only pf1bit and pf24bit and pf32bit are accepted.

Note: To access the alpha channel of 32bit (RGBA) bitmap images, call SynchronizeRGBA( True, True ); after CopyFromTBitmap(), which will fill AlphaChannel

Example

// Display the same image as a TImage
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.CopyFromTBitmap( Image1.Picture.Bitmap );
ImageEnView1.Update();

// Copy 32bit BMP to TIEBitmap with Alpha
iebmp := TIEBitmap.Create();
bmp := TBitmap.create;
... Get 32bit Bitmap, e.g. bmp.LoadFromFile('D:\BMP32.bmp');
iebmp.CopyFromTBitmap( bmp );
iebmp.SynchronizeRGBA( True, True ); // Convert 32bit RGBA to 24bit Image + Alpha channel
iebmp.Write( 'D:\Alpha.png' );
bmp.Free;
iebmp.Free;
