Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

	width As Single, _
	height As Single, _
	format As PixelFormat, _
	palette As ColorPalette _
)

C#

public void Create(
	float width,
	float height,
	PixelFormat format,
	ColorPalette palette
)

Parameters

width

Type: System..::.Single

Width of new bitmap (in pixels).
height

Type: System..::.Single

format

Type: Aurigma.GraphicsMill..::.PixelFormat

Pixel format of new bitmap. If pixel format is not indexed, palette is ignored.
palette

Type: Aurigma.GraphicsMill..::.ColorPalette

Palette attached to new bitmap.
Note

This palette object is binded to bitmap, not copied. It means that if you later change anything in palette object, changes will be reflected in the palette of bitmap.

Remarks

Bitmap data is stuffed with zeros. So if pixel format:

  • is RGB image is filled with black color
  • is CMYK image is filled with white color
  • is indexed image has color of the first palette entry
