PngImage.TransparentColor

PngImage.TransparentColor property

Retrieves the transparent color of the image, if it exists. This property is valuable for applications requiring precise handling of transparent areas within images, allowing developers to access and manipulate the specific transparent color used.

public override Color TransparentColor { get; set; }

Examples

The following example shows how to set fully transparent colors for a part of a TrueColor PNG image which doesn’t support alpha channel.

[C#]

Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PngOptions createOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PngOptions();
createOptions.Source = new Aspose.Imaging.Sources.FileCreateSource("c:\\temp\\transparent.png", false);
createOptions.ColorType = Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Png.PngColorType.Truecolor;

// Create a TrueColor PNG image of 100x100 px.
using (Aspose.Imaging.Image image = Image.Create(createOptions, 100, 100))
{
    Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Png.PngImage pngImage = (Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Png.PngImage)image;
    Aspose.Imaging.Graphics gr = new Aspose.Imaging.Graphics(pngImage);

    // All red pixels will be considered as fully transparent.
    pngImage.TransparentColor = Aspose.Imaging.Color.Red;
    pngImage.HasTransparentColor = true;

    // All transparent pixels will have a background color.
    pngImage.BackgroundColor = Aspose.Imaging.Color.Green;
    pngImage.HasBackgroundColor = true;

    // Fill the entire image with white color.
    gr.FillRectangle(new Aspose.Imaging.Brushes.SolidBrush(Aspose.Imaging.Color.White), pngImage.Bounds);

    // Fill the top-left quarter of the image with the transparent color.
    // This makes the top-left quarter colored in the background color.
    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, pngImage.Width / 2, pngImage.Height / 2);
    gr.FillRectangle(new Aspose.Imaging.Brushes.SolidBrush(Aspose.Imaging.Color.Red), rect);

    pngImage.Save();
}
