How to Crop EMF Image using Shifts or Rectangle Approaches in .NET Applications
This technical tip explains how .NET developers can Crop an EMF Image inside their .NET applications. Image cropping usually refers to the removal of the outer parts of an image to help improve the framing. Cropping may also be used to cut out some portion of an image to increase the focus on a particular area. Aspose.Imaging for .Net API supports two different approaches for cropping image: by shifts and by rectangle. The EmfImage class provides an overloaded version of the Crop method that accepts 4 integer values denoting Left, Right, Top & Bottom. Based on these four values, the Crop method moves the image boundaries toward the center of the image while discarding the outer portion. The EmfImage class provides another overloaded version of the Crop method that accepts an instance of the Rectangle class. You can cut out any portion of an image by providing the desired boundaries to the Rectangle object.
//your code here...// Cropping by Shifts
//[C# Code Sample]
// create an instance of Rasterization options
EmfRasterizationOptions emfRasterizationOptions = new EmfRasterizationOptions();
emfRasterizationOptions.BackgroundColor = Aspose.Imaging.Color.WhiteSmoke;
// create an instance of PNG options
PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
pdfOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions = emfRasterizationOptions;
//Declare variables to store file paths for input and output images
string filePath = @"TestEmfBezier.emf";
string outPath = filePath + ".pdf";
//Load an existing image into an instance of EMF class
using (Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Emf.EmfImage image = (Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Emf.EmfImage)Aspose.Imaging.Image.Load(filePath))
{
using (FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(outPath, FileMode.Create))
{
//Based on the shift values, apply the cropping on image
//Crop method will shift the image bounds toward the center of image
image.Crop(30, 40, 50, 60);
// Set height and width
pdfOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions.PageWidth = image.Width;
pdfOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions.PageHeight = image.Height;
//Save the results to disk
image.Save(outputStream, pdfOptions);
}
}
