Aspose::Words::Drawing::ImageData::ToByteArray method

ImageData::ToByteArray method

Returns image bytes for any image regardless whether the image is stored or linked.

System::ArrayPtr<uint8_t> Aspose::Words::Drawing::ImageData::ToByteArray()

Remarks

If the image is linked, downloads the image every time it is called.

Examples

Shows how to create an image file from a shape’s raw image data.

auto imgSourceDoc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"Images.docx");

auto imgShape = System::ExplicitCast<Shape>(imgSourceDoc->GetChild(NodeType::Shape, 0, true));

ASSERT_TRUE(imgShape->get_HasImage());

// ToByteArray() returns the array stored in the ImageBytes property.
ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(imgShape->get_ImageData()->get_ImageBytes(), imgShape->get_ImageData()->ToByteArray());

// Save the shape's image data to an image file in the local file system.
{
    SharedPtr<System::IO::Stream> imgStream = imgShape->get_ImageData()->ToStream();
    {
        auto outStream = MakeObject<System::IO::FileStream>(ArtifactsDir + u"Drawing.GetDataFromImage.png", System::IO::FileMode::Create,
                                                            System::IO::FileAccess::ReadWrite);
        imgStream->CopyTo(outStream);
    }
}
