BitmapDataExtensionsAdjustBrightness(IReadWriteBitmapData, IAsyncContext, Single, IDitherer, ColorChannels) Method

Adjusts the brightness of the specified bitmapData, using a context that may belong to a higher level, possibly asynchronous operation.

See the online help of the BitmapExtensions.AdjustBrightness method for some examples with images.

Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.Drawing.Imaging
Assembly: KGySoft.Drawing.Core (in KGySoft.Drawing.Core.dll) Version: 10.0.0-rc.1
C#
public static bool AdjustBrightness(
	this IReadWriteBitmapData bitmapData,
	IAsyncContext? context,
	float brightness,
	IDitherer? ditherer = null,
	ColorChannels channels = ColorChannels.Rgb
)

Parameters

bitmapData  IReadWriteBitmapData
The IReadWriteBitmapData to be transformed.
context  IAsyncContext
An IAsyncContext instance that contains information for asynchronous processing about the current operation.
brightness  Single
A float value between -1 and 1, inclusive bounds. Positive values make the bitmapData brighter, while negative values make it darker.
ditherer  IDitherer  (Optional)
An optional IDitherer instance to dither the result of the transformation if the transformed colors are not compatible with the PixelFormat of the specified bitmapData. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .
channels  ColorChannels  (Optional)
The ColorChannels, on which the adjustment has to be performed. This parameter is optional.
Default value: Rgb.

Return Value

Boolean
, if the operation completed successfully.
, if the operation has been canceled.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IReadWriteBitmapData. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

This method blocks the caller thread, but if context belongs to an async top level method, then the execution may already run on a pool thread. Degree of parallelism, the ability of cancellation and reporting progress depend on how these were configured at the top level method. To reconfigure the degree of parallelism of an existing context, you can use the AsyncContextWrapper class.

Alternatively, you can use this method to specify the degree of parallelism for synchronous execution. For example, by passing AsyncHelper.SingleThreadContext to the context parameter the method will be forced to use a single thread only.

When reporting progress, this library always passes a DrawingOperation instance to the generic methods of the IAsyncProgress interface.

  Tip

See the Examples section of the AsyncHelper class for details about how to create a context for possibly async top level methods.
