Class Bitmap

Bitmap class

Encapsulates a bitmap, which consists of the pixel data for a graphics image and its attributes. A Bitmap is an object used to work with images defined by pixel data.

public class Bitmap : Image

Clone(Rectangle, PixelFormat)Creates a copy of the section of this Bitmap defined by Rectangle structure and with a specified PixelFormat enumeration.
Clone(RectangleF, PixelFormat)Creates a copy of the section of this Bitmap defined with a specified PixelFormat enumeration.
virtual Dispose()Releases all resources used by this Image.
GetBounds(ref GraphicsUnit)Gets the bounds of the image in the specified unit.
GetFrameCount(FrameDimension)Returns the number of frames of the specified dimension.
GetPixel(int, int)Gets the color of the specified pixel in this Bitmap.
override GetPropertyItem(int)Gets the specified property item from this Image.

LockBits(Rectangle, ImageLockMode, PixelFormat)Locks a Bitmap into system memory.
MakeTransparent()Makes the specified color transparent for this Bitmap.
MakeTransparent(Color)Makes the specified color transparent for this Bitmap.
ReadArgb32Pixels(int[])Reads bitmap pixels in ARGB32 format into given array.
override RemovePropertyItem(int)Removes the specified property item from this Image.
