GetPreviewImage

BasePart.GetPreviewImage

Get the preview image This will return the graphic preview image of the part (when available).

Each 32 bit integer pixel contains 8 bit values for the red, green and blue color components and the alpha channel is not used and set to 255. The byte order corresponds to the .NET method System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb, so the order is ARGB. For Java the byte order and data corresponds to the BufferedImage type TYPE_INT_RGB. The pixels at an xy location can be found as (y*width+x) where x is from 0 to width-1, and y indexes from 0 to height-1. The RGB pixels can be loaded into an appropriate image tool such as the Java BufferedImage class for display.

Note: this will return the modeling preview image only.
