GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureImaging~GifSetLoopCount - GifSetLoopCount Method (GdPictureImaging) -

GifSetLoopCount Method (GdPictureImaging)

In This Topic

Sets the "Loop Count" of a multiframe gif image. A Loop Count is the number of times an animation of the multiframe gif should be played.

Syntax

C#
Delphi
JScript

'Declaration
 
Public Function GifSetLoopCount( _
   ByVal ImageID As Integer, _
   ByVal LoopCount As Integer _
) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus GifSetLoopCount( 
   int ImageID,
   int LoopCount
)

public function GifSetLoopCount( 
    ImageID: Integer;
    LoopCount: Integer
): GdPictureStatus;

public function GifSetLoopCount( 
   ImageID : int,
   LoopCount : int
) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus GifSetLoopCount( 
   int ImageID,
   int LoopCount
)

public:
GdPictureStatus GifSetLoopCount( 
   int ImageID,
   int LoopCount
)

Parameters

ImageID: GdPicture image identifier. The multiframe gif image. (Can be an editable multiframe gif or a read-only gif image.).
LoopCount: The number of times the animation should be played. Between 0 and 65536. 0 = infinite.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration.

Remarks

This method works with both editable multiframe gif images and ones opened as read-only.

This method requires the Image Documents component to run.

Example

Creating a multiframe Gif image based on image files.

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    // Create a new editable multiframe Gif image based on an image file and append frames from files.
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.GifCreateMultiFrameFromFile("frame1.bmp");
    gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame2.bmp");
    gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame3.bmp");
    gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame4.bmp");
    gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame5.bmp");
 
    // Set the number of times the animation should be played, 0 = infinite.
    gdpictureImaging.GifSetLoopCount(imageID, 0);
 
    // Set the "frame time" for each and every frame to 1s and the frame disposal to leave the image in place to beentirely or partially overdrawn by the next image.
    int frameCount = gdpictureImaging.GifGetFrameCount(imageID);
    for (int frameNo = 1; frameNo <= frameCount; frameNo++)
    {
        gdpictureImaging.GifSetFrameTime(imageID, frameNo, 100);
        gdpictureImaging.GifSetFrameDisposal(imageID, frameNo, 1);
    }
 
    gdpictureImaging.GifSaveMultiFrameToFile(imageID, "image.gif");
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}

Example

Creating a multiframe Gif image based on image files. using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging()) { // Create a new editable multiframe Gif image based on an image file and append frames from files. int imageID = gdpictureImaging.GifCreateMultiFrameFromFile("frame1.bmp"); gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame2.bmp"); gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame3.bmp"); gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame4.bmp"); gdpictureImaging.GifAppendFrameFromFile(imageID, "frame5.bmp"); // Set the number of times the animation should be played, 0 = infinite. gdpictureImaging.GifSetLoopCount(imageID, 0); // Set the "frame time" for each and every frame to 1s and the frame disposal to leave the image in place to beentirely or partially overdrawn by the next image. int frameCount = gdpictureImaging.GifGetFrameCount(imageID); for (int frameNo = 1; frameNo <= frameCount; frameNo++) { gdpictureImaging.GifSetFrameTime(imageID, frameNo, 100); gdpictureImaging.GifSetFrameDisposal(imageID, frameNo, 1); } gdpictureImaging.GifSaveMultiFrameToFile(imageID, "image.gif"); gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID); }
