In This Topic
Creates a new 32-bit PARGB GdPicture image and initializes it with a copy of the content of the specified GdPicture image, that is represented by its unique image identifier. The newly created image is identified by its unique non-zero image identifier and it is independent of the defined source image.

Please note that it is your responsibility to release the image resources once you have no use for them.

Be aware that 8 bits are used for each of the alpha, red, green, and blue components. The red, green, and blue components are pre-multiplied, according to the alpha component. Just to inform you, that this pixel format provides better performances on Windows applications.

Remarks

This method requires the Image Documents component to run.
