The WPF/XAML Imaging SDK included with LEADTOOLS Imaging provides robust imaging capabilities, interface automation, data-driven user interfaces and visualization, as well as Windows shell (Explorer) integration. WPF can natively access Windows Imaging Component (WIC) codecs and APIs, allowing developers to write image codecs for their specific image file formats. LEADTOOLS Imaging takes full advantage of this capability, to provide you with out-of-the-box support for displaying, loading, saving, converting or processing all image formats supported by the Microsoft Windows BitmapSource class in the WPF environment, as well as the 150+ formats supported by LEADTOOLS Imaging.

Features:

WPF Standard .NET - Includes controls for everything you need to start adding imaging functions to your Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications.

Image Format Support - Load, save and convert 150+ image file formats and sub-formats using both industry standard and proprietary compressions.

Printing Support - Printing is just as easy as displaying an image. You control the size and location that the image should be printed. Additionally, Windows GDI functions can be used in conjunction with LEADTOOLS printing providing the flexibility to print text and multiple images on the same page.

Compression Support - Supports many of the industry standard compression techniques including JPEG, JPEG2000, CCITT, LZW, ZIPLIB, Huffman, Arithmetic, RLE and Packbits.

ActiveX Support - Provides custom controls developed by LEAD Technologies, Inc. for incorporating image compression, file format support, and image processing into your applications.

Imaging Common Dialogs - LEADTOOLS Imaging Common Dialog boxes save hours of tedious programming and provide your end-users with a consistent look and feel by extending Windows common dialogs to provide imaging specific capabilities. The Common Dialogs provide professional imaging common dialogs for image processing, conversion and effects.

TWAIN Scanning Support - TWAIN drivers are included with almost all scanner and other image acquisition hardware. Also, with recent advancements TWAIN is the driver of choice for performance and reliability. LEADTOOLS Imaging products currently support all functionality included in the TWAIN v1.9 specification.

Screen Capture - Powerful screen capture functionality that can capture resources from files, menus, windows, clients, areas of screen in different shapes. The screen capture tools are extremely useful, especially for documentation and provide another means of image input.

Which LEADTOOLS product is right for me?

Do you need Medical Imaging functionality to create DICOM clients or servers, or do you need support for medical images like X-rays, CT scans, etc.?

If so, you will need LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging. Contact sales@LEADTOOLS.com for more information.

Will your application use 1 bit or black and white images?

If so, then LEADTOOLS Document Imaging includes functionality specifically designed for 1 bit or black and white images.

Do you need support for image markup or image annotation? (Image markup or annotation is different than simply drawing on the image. The annotations are drawn on an overlay that is on top of the image.)

If so, then LEADTOOLS Document Imaging includes support to annotate an image.

Do you want to add OCR, forms recognition and processing, advanced compound document/image compression and storage, or document image clean-up technologies to your application?

If so, then LEADTOOLS Document Imaging allows you to add on the above technology to your application.

Do you want to add barcode reading or writing technologies to your application?

If so, then LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro allows you to add on the above technology to your application.

Do you need support for multimedia functionality like video capture, video playback or converting?

If so, then LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK will meet this requirement.

Do you need to natively support the creation, loading or editing of vector objects? Natively meaning that a vector image is kept as vector in memory.

If so, then LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro would be the correct selection.
