Detailed Description

Captures the image in the active graphics window (or in a rectangular region of the active graphics window), and then exports/saves the image in a file of a specified format.

This class can be used to export an image file that contains the contents of the active graphics window. The image may be limited to a rectangular region of the display via Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode . Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.FileFormats enumerates the file formats exported images may be saved in. The background of the exported image may be changed to any of the options available in Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.BackgroundOptions . After configuring the image export, an image file is saved by calling the Commit method.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.UI.CreateImageExportBuilder

Member Function Documentation

unsafe double [] NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.GetCustomBackgroundColor ( )
inline

Returns the background color the image will be captured with if Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.BackgroundOption is set to Custom Color.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements: None.

Returns
Array of 3 RGB values, each between 0 and 1
unsafe int [] NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.GetRegionTopLeftPoint ( )
inline

Returns the top left point of the region of the graphics window that will be captured if Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode is true.

This value is a window coordinate. See Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode for more information on capturing a region of the graphics window.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements: None.

Returns
Array of 2 int values representing the x and y window coordinate of the top left point of the captured region
unsafe void NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.SetCustomBackgroundColor ( double[]  customBackgroundColor)
inline

Sets the background color the image will be captured with if Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.BackgroundOption is set to Custom Color.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements: None.

Parameters
customBackgroundColorArray of 3 RGB values, each between 0 and 1
unsafe void NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.SetRegionTopLeftPoint ( int[]  regionTopLeftPoint)
inline

Sets the top left point of the region of the graphics window that will be captured if Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode is true.

This value is a window coordinate. See Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode for more information on capturing a region of the graphics window.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements: None.

Parameters
regionTopLeftPointArray of 2 int values representing the x and y window coordinate of the top left point of the captured region

Property Documentation

unsafe NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.BackgroundOptions NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.BackgroundOption
getset

Returns or sets the background style used when capturing the image.

The image may be captured with any of the background styles enumerated in Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.BackgroundOptions . If the Custom Color background option is used, the background color may be specified with Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.SetCustomBackgroundColor .

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements to get this property: None.

License requirements to set this property: None.

unsafe bool NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.EnhanceEdges
getset

Returns or sets a boolean value that, if true, indicates the image will be captured with antialiasing disabled and edge emphasis enabled.

When capturing an image with many edges, such as a wireframe view of a part, antialiasing may cause thin edges to blur with the background of the image. This effect may be particularly noticeable when using a transparent background. Disabling antialiasing and enabling edge emphasis helps to eliminate this blurring at the cost of a more pixelated image.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements to get this property: None.

License requirements to set this property: None.

unsafe NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.FileFormats NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.FileFormat
getset

Returns or sets the file format of the exported image file.

The exported image may be stored in any of the file formats enumerated in Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.FileFormats . Please note that transparency is only available in TIFF and PNG formats.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements to get this property: None.

License requirements to set this property: None.

unsafe string NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.FileName
getset

Returns or sets the full path of the exported image file.

This value should be set to the desired destination of the exported image file.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements to get this property: None.

License requirements to set this property: None.

unsafe int NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionHeight
getset

Returns or sets the height of the region of the graphics window that will be captured if Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode is true.

See Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode for more information on capturing a region of the graphics window.

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements to get this property: None.

License requirements to set this property: None.

unsafe bool NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode
getset

Returns or sets a boolean value that, if true, indicates that a rectangular region of the graphics window will be captured, rather than the entire graphics window.

The region used to generate the image file is defined using Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.SetRegionTopLeftPoint , Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionWidth and Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionHeight .

Created in NX12.0.1

License requirements to get this property: None.

License requirements to set this property: None.

unsafe int NXOpen.Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionWidth
getset

Returns or sets the width of the region of the graphics window that will be captured if Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode is true.

See Gateway.ImageExportBuilder.RegionMode for more information on capturing a region of the graphics window.

Created in NX12.0.1
