F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ToBitmap : 
        source : IReadableBitmapData * 
        pixelFormat : PixelFormat * 
        ?quantizer : IQuantizer * 
        ?ditherer : IDitherer 
(* Defaults:
        let _quantizer = defaultArg quantizer null
        let _ditherer = defaultArg ditherer null
*)
-> Bitmap

Parameters

source IReadableBitmapData: The source IReadableBitmapData instance to convert.
pixelFormat PixelFormat: The desired result pixel format.
quantizer IQuantizer (Optional): An optional IQuantizer instance to determine the colors of the result. If and pixelFormat is an indexed format, then a default palette and quantization logic will be used. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .
ditherer IDitherer (Optional): The ditherer to be used. Might be ignored if quantizer is not specified and pixelFormat represents an at least 24 bits-per-pixel size. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Return Value

Bitmap
A Bitmap converted from the specified source.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IReadableBitmapData. 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

Note

This method adjusts the degree of parallelization automatically, blocks the caller, and does not support cancellation or reporting progress. Use the BeginToBitmap or ToBitmapAsync (in .NET Framework 4.0 and above) methods for asynchronous call and to adjust parallelization, set up cancellation and for reporting progress.

To produce a Bitmap with the best matching pixel format to source, use the ToBitmap(IReadableBitmapData) overload instead.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	source is .
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	pixelFormat does not specify a valid format.
PlatformNotSupportedException	The specified pixelFormat is not supported on the current platform.
ArgumentException	The quantizer palette contains too many colors for the indexed format specified by pixelFormat.
