Is there any sane way to work with bitmaps in WPF? I’d like similar functionality as System.Drawing.Bitmap: be able to load image from file and get and set the color of particular pixels.
I know about WriteableBitmap, but I don’t want to work with Arrays of gods-know-what (I couldn’t find that on MSDN), or pointers. I just want to read or write pixel, it shouldn’t be that hard!
I also know that I can use Interop to work with System.Drawing.Bitmap in WPF, but that’s not nice either.
Here’s something on how to do get pixel info from a
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage.Although, if you’d prefer to work with a
System.Drawing.Bitmapyou might want to add a reference toSystem.Drawing.dlland use it instead.Here’s a somewhat-related forum post on image manipulation in WPF.
