CanvasBitmap.GetPixelBytes Method (IBuffer)

CanvasBitmapGetPixelBytes Method (IBuffer)

Copies raw byte data for the entire bitmap into the specified buffer.

Namespace: Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas
Assembly: Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas (in Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas.dll) Version: 0.0.0.0

Syntax

public void GetPixelBytes(
	IBuffer buffer
)

Remarks

Works on bitmaps of any format.
For uncompressed texture formats, the capacity of the buffer must be at least SizeInPixels.Width * SizeInPixels.Height * (bytes per pixel). The number of bytes per pixel is determined by Format. For a CanvasBitmap with the default format of DirectXPixelFormat.B8G8R8A8UintNormalized this is 4.
For block compressed texture formats, the capacity of the buffer must be at least SizeInPixels.Width * SizeInPixels.Height * (bytes per block) / 16. See Bitmap block compression page for more information.
