TransformsProvider Class

Syntax

Public Class TransformsProvider _
	Inherits LockableObject

public class TransformsProvider : LockableObject

Remarks

This class enables you to apply effects and transforms (except ones used for tone and color correction) on the bitmap without creating appropriate transform object (contained in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms namespace). Therefore you can write only single line of code to run the transform. For example, instead of this code:

' ... bitmap instantiation is omitted for brevity

Dim resize As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.Resize
resize.Width = 800
resize.Height = 600
resize.InterpolationMode = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.InterpolationMode.HighQuality
resize.ApplyTransform(bitmap)

// ... bitmap instantiation is omitted for brevity

Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.Resize resize = 
    new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.Resize();
resize.Width = 800;
resize.Height = 600;
resize.InterpolationMode = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.InterpolationMode.HighQuality;
resize.ApplyTransform(bitmap);

you can just use this code:

bitmap.Transforms.Resize(800, 600, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.InterpolationMode.HighQuality)

bitmap.Transforms.Resize(800, 600, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.InterpolationMode.HighQuality);

The only drawback of this short syntax is that you can run transforms and effects through this class only in synchronous mode. If you need to use asynchronous mode, you should create transform class instances and set up the asynchronous mode settings for them.

Another difference of using of this class instead of transform objects is event handling. Unlike transform objects, you should assign event handlers directly to the Bitmap class.
