)

public:
GdPictureStatus DeleteBlackBorders( 
   int ImageID,
   int Margin,
   bool SkewedBorders
)

Parameters

ImageID: GdPicture image identifier.
Margin: Max distance in pixels from edges of image a border is allowed to start. Suggested value is 10.
SkewedBorders: Whether the borders are skewed or not. Meaning if the borders are not uniform in size, such that their width changes along the y-axis if they are vertical borders, or their height changes along the x-axis if they are horizontal borders, or both. Suggested value is false.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration.

This method is used in the "Image Processing" and "Document Clean Up" C# Demo.

It is highly suggested to use AutoDeskew() before calling this method if the image or the borders are skewed, if that is not an option, setting this parameter to True will try to overcome the borders without overcoming the document content. But as skewed borders could easily overlap with document content, the method might become overzealous and delete some document content.

This method requires the Image Documents component to run.

Deleting black borders from a jpeg image.

C#

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    // LoadInMemory parameter is set to true in order to be able to update the input file.
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image.jpg", true);
 
    // Delete black borders from a skewed image by replacing them with white content.
    // The max distance in pixels from edges of an image where a border is allowed to start is 10 pixels.
    gdpictureImaging.DeleteBlackBorders(imageID, 10, true);
    
    gdpictureImaging.SaveAsJPEG(imageID, "image.jpg", 75);
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}
