C# TIFF Image Library
Basic SDK Concept for Tiff Imaging

Overview

RasterEdge.com provides various images and documents processing solutions that can be applied to streamline image & document processing for a wide variety of industries and document types. Variable image and document processing functions are divided into several categories, including document cleanup, medical image enhancement, color conversion and correction, image conversion, watermark & thumbnail creating, edge detection and more. Our supported image and document formats are: TIFF, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, PDF, Word and DICOM.

RasterEdge XDoc.Tiff for .NET control is one of the mature solutions, which provides standard options to view, convert, process, compress, extract, and annotate TIFF images in C#.NET class and console applications. Our multiple TIFF manipulating APIs can fulfill different users' needs best, which include APIs for TIFF page adding, inserting, deleting, TIFF file page reordering, merging and splitting. RasterEdge XDoc.Tiff for .NET component still supports rotating, resizing, copying and pasting TIFF page and extracting page(s) from TIFF document by using the fully designed TIFF image editing classes and APIs, or C# developers are able to adopt our open source API methods to program more personalized TIFF document manipulating solutions & applications.

You can learn the basic concept of XDoc.Tiff for .NET SDK from two aspects.

XDoc.Tiff Programming Classes

In your C#.NET Tiff imaging application, four classes will be involved, which are TIFFDocument, TIFFPage, TIFFContext, TIFFMetadata.

Class: TIFFDocument

This class is an extension of BaseDocument. It represents a high-level model of the pages within a Tiff file. When a TIFFDocument object is created from an existing Tiff file, it contains a collection of TIFFPage objects for each page within the file. It is easy to use TIFFDocument to retrieving information from the files. You can also reorder or remove pages from Tiff files.

Class: TIFFPage

This class uses BasePage as prototype. It is a high-level abstraction of a page within a Tiff file. You obtain images from TIFFPage object individually.

Class: TIFFContext

This is a class similar to brush. It refers to the operators for Tiff page corresponding information.

Class: TIFFMetadata

This is a class is used to record Tiff image parameters and corresponding information, such as Tiff compression mode, color space, author, created time, and so on.
