TIEBitmap.Assign

Declaration

procedure Assign(Source: TObject);

Description

Copies an image from source object. Source can be a TIEBitmap, TBitmap, TGraphic, TPicture or TIcon.

Note:
◼ The Params are also copied if Source.ParamsEnabled is true
◼ Assign copies the alpha channel of a TIEBitmap, use AssignImage to only copy the image
◼ To assign a TIEVisionImage, use AssignIEVisionImage

Examples

// Display the same image as a TImage
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Assign( Image1.Picture.Graphic );
ImageEnView1.Update();

// Copy from a TGraphic class
jpg := TJpegImage.Create;
try
  jpg.Loadfromfile( 'D:\Image.jpg' );
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Assign( jpg );
  ImageEnView1.Update();
finally
  jpg.free
end;

// Assign a 32bit Bitmap with alpha channel to an ImageEnView (keeping the alpha)
var
  bmp: TBitmap;
begin
  bmp := TBitmap.Create();
  bmp.LoadFromFile( 'Bmp32_with_Alpha.bmp' );
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Assign( bmp );
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.SynchronizeRGBA( True, True );
  ImageEnView1.Update();
  bmp.Free();
end;
