Parameters

Stream: System.IO.Stream object storing the image data.

Return Value

0: The image could not be created. Use the GetStat() method to determine the reason this method failed. Non-zero: GdPicture image identifier. The created image. The ReleaseGdPictureImage() method must be subsequently used to release the image from the memory.

The provided stream must support seeking.

Supported formats are listed here: http://www.gdpicture.com/solutions/supported-formats/.

Notes for multipage images (TIFF and GIF): By default, the class loads multipage images (GIF and TIFF) in read & write mode. To open multipage images in read-only mode call the TiffOpenMultiPageForWrite() method specifying False for tiff images or the GifOpenMultiFrameForWrite() method for gif images. If the image is a multipage file (TIFF, JBIG2, GIFF), the stream should be kept open until the image is released.

Creating images using streams.

Cloning an area of a jpeg image into a new jpeg image using streams.

C#

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    using (System.IO.Stream inputStream = new System.IO.FileStream("image.jpg", System.IO.FileMode.Open))
    {
        int imageID1 = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromStream(inputStream);
        //Clone an area of the source image into a mew image.
        int imageID2 = gdpictureImaging.CreateClonedGdPictureImageArea(imageID1, 50, 50, 100, 250);
        //Process the cloned image.
        gdpictureImaging.FxPixelize(imageID2);
        using (System.IO.Stream outputStream = new System.IO.FileStream("output.png", System.IO.FileMode.CreateNew))
        {
            //Save a result into a new image file.
            gdpictureImaging.SaveAsStream(imageID2, outputStream, GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatPNG, 6);
        }
        gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID2);
        gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID1);
    }
}

Applying ICM correction when saving CMYK based image as a tiff image using streams.

C#

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    string filePath = "image.jpg";
    if (gdpictureImaging.IsCMYKFile(filePath))
    {
        // Enable color correction.
        gdpictureImaging.EnableICM(true);
 
        using (System.IO.Stream inputStream = new System.IO.FileStream(filePath, System.IO.FileMode.Open))
        {
            int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromStream(inputStream);
            using (System.IO.Stream outputStream = new System.IO.FileStream("output.tiff", System.IO.FileMode.CreateNew))
            {
                gdpictureImaging.SaveAsTIFF(imageID, outputStream, true, TiffCompression.TiffCompressionJPEG, 90);
            }
            // Release used resources.
            gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
        }
    }
}
