Hi everybody,

I have an ImageBrush and set an image large in its ImageSource in run-time, so I want resizing it to small image.
In other words, The image is large and loaded it in run-time, actually I want resize (in-place) selfsame to a small image under WPF facilities, don't use 'System.Drawing' namespaces.

I also used this method, but it has an error for this my problem:

C#

public static BitmapSource CreateBitmapSourceFromVisual(double width, double height, Visual visual)
{
    if (visual == null)
    {
        return null;
    }
    RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap((Int32)Math.Ceiling(width), (Int32)Math.Ceiling(height), 300, 300, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);

    bmp.Render(visual);
    return bmp;
}

Because I want resizing the myImageBrush like this program:

C#

myImageBrush.ImageSource = CreateBitmapSourceFromVisual(100, 100, myImageBrush);

Any help pls...

Thanks in advance.

What format is the image in. i.e is it png, jpg or something else ?

It should respond to me in any format.

'Without GDI+' doesn't really make sense since the .Net Framework uses GDI+ for all its rendering. I think you mean without P/Invoking gdiplus.dll?

With 'using System.Windows.Media' namespaces or like it, and without 'System.Drawing' namespaces or such it!

System.Drawing is included in WPF (as it's in the Framework). What is the reason you don't want to use it?

I've not used S.W.Media so I can't help with that.

Because doesn't match 'System.Drawing.Image' to 'System.Windows.Media.ImageBrush'!

Solution 1

Use Graphics.DrawImage[^]:

public Image Resize(Image i, int w, int h){
 Bitmap r = new Bitmap(w, h);
 Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(r);
 g.DrawImage(i, 0, 0, w, h);
 g.Dispose();
 return r;
}

Note that this produces a raster resize, which is probably what you want for a thumbnail. If you want to be clever you'd have to construct a new image of the same type as the one passed in to you. But since you're using a bitmap in your example, it seems reasonable to do that here.

Thanks BobJanova, but I tried this method, I want acting with WPF facilities.

using (System.Drawing.Image image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(src))
using (System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(110, 74))
using (System.Drawing.Graphics gr = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
{
int srcWidth = image.Width;
int srcHeight = image.Height;
gr.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
gr.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
gr.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.High;

System.Drawing.Rectangle rectDestination = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, 110, 74);
gr.DrawImage(image, rectDestination, 0, 0, srcWidth, srcHeight, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
string dest = "";
bmp.Save(dest);
}

Solution 2

You should be able to create the smaller image at run time too. You'd most likely need to set DecodePixelWidth and DecodePixelHeight accordingly.

Example:

My 5, You are rescue angel!

Just a few lines, get of all time!

string srcImg = GetCurrentWallpaperPath();
if (srcImg != "")
{
BitmapImage bmpImg =new BitmapImage();
bmpImg.BeginInit();
bmpImg.DecodePixelWidth = bmpImg.DecodePixelHeight= 50;
bmpImg.UriSource = new Uri(srcImg);
bmpImg.EndInit();

BkImageTScreen.ImageSource = bmpImg.Clone() as BitmapImage;
bmpImg = null;
GC.Collect();
}
