Add Alpha Channel

Generates an elliptical alpha channel and applies it to the source image.

Adjust HSL

Adjusts HSL (Hue-Saturation-Lightness) balance.

Assign a color profile to a bitmap

Replaces the embedded color profile of an image with a new one.

Autorotate

Automatically rotates image based on EXIF orientation metadata.

Bezier Transform

Performs a Bezier transform on an image using the specified control points.

Combine shapes with boolean path operations

This sample shows how to build new shapes from existing ones with the boolean operations of the Path class: Path.Union, Path.Intersect, Path.Subtract, and Path.Xor. These static methods leave their arguments unchanged and return a new path, so the same two source shapes can be combined in several ways. The result is real vector geometry, so it can be filled, stroked, written to PDF, or used as a clipping path.

Contrast

Adjusts contrast.

Convert a dashed stroke into filled shapes

This sample shows how to turn the stroke of a path into an outline that can be filled, measured, or combined with other shapes, like "Outline Stroke" in vector editors. Path.Widen takes everything from a Pen: its width, line caps, joins, and dash pattern, so every dash of a dashed line becomes a closed shape of its own. This is what cutting, engraving, and embroidery software needs, as it follows outlines and knows nothing about strokes. Path.GetArea then gives the area the stroke covers.

Convert CMYK to RGB

Converts color space from CMYK to RGB with color management.

Convert colors using LittleCMS

Uses LittleCMS to convert the image's color space.

Convert From WPF

Converts WPF BitmapFrame to GraphicsMill Bitmap.

Convert To Indexed

Converts to indexed pixel format (optimized for Web).

Convert To WPF

Converts Graphics Mill Bitmap to WPF BitmapSource.

Copy Clipping Path

Copies all Adobe resources including clipping path.

Crop

Crops image.

Desaturate

Desaturates image.

Draw Path

Draws path on Graphics.

Draw With Clipping Path

Draws an image onto a Graphics object using a clipping path.

Flip

Flips image.

Get embedded profile

Gets and displays information about the embedded profile.

Hash From Bitmap

Demonstrates computing an MD5 hash from bitmap pixel data via unsafe pointer-based scanline access.

Levels

Apply custom levels adjustment to an image.

Matrix Transform

Applies matrix transformation to graphics.

Maximum

Applies the Maximum transform to the image.

Median

Applies the Median transform to the image.

Minimum

Applies the Minimum transform to the image.

Modify Clipping Path Explicitly

Modifies clipping path explicitly.

Overlay an Image onto Another Image

Apply a watermark image onto a base image using advanced graphics drawing features.

Preserve Color Profile And Metadata (System.Drawing Interop)

Converts Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap to System.Drawing.Bitmap and vice versa preserving metadata.

Preview RGB To CMYK On Screen

Generates an RGB preview of CMYK color conversion.

Process Non-RGB (System.Drawing Interop)

Loads non-RGB image with Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap, pass it to System.Drawing.Bitmap and convert it back to Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap.

Rasterize a PDF page two ways: quick vs. full control

This sample compares the two ways to turn a PDF page into a bitmap. PdfFrame.GetBitmap is the quickest option, but it always returns a 24-bit RGB bitmap at the page's own resolution. Getting the page's vector content with GetContent and rasterizing it separately with GraphicsContainerRasterizer is slower, since rendering goes through the vector content rather than a ready-made bitmap, but it allows any target pixel format and resolution, such as an alpha-capable format at a higher DPI than the source page.

Read and Write JPEG

Reads and writes image in JPEG format.

Read TIFF

Reads first frame of image in TIFF format.

Remove a plain background around a logo

This sample shows how to make the background of a logo or a product shot transparent with the ContiguousBackgroundRemoval transform. The background is everything that can be reached from the border of the image through pixels of similar colour, so areas of the same colour that the subject encloses stay opaque: the white letters on the badge are kept, while a colour key such as Transparentize would punch them out too. The background colour is detected automatically from the border of the image.
