@ohos.multimedia.image (Image Processing)

The Image module provides APIs for image processing. You can use the APIs to create a PixelMap object with specified properties or read image pixel data (even in an area).

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Modules to Import

import image from '@ohos.multimedia.image';

image.createPixelMap8+

createPixelMap(colors: ArrayBuffer, options: InitializationOptions): Promise<PixelMap>

Creates a PixelMap object with the default BGRA_8888 format and pixel properties specified. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.Multimedia.Image.Core

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
colors ArrayBuffer Yes Color array in BGRA_8888 format.
options InitializationOptions Yes Pixel properties, including the alpha type, size, scale mode, pixel format, and editable.

Return value

Type Description
Promise<PixelMap> Promise used to return the PixelMap object.
If the size of the created pixel map exceeds that of the original image, the pixel map size of the original image is returned.

Example

const color = new ArrayBuffer(96);  // 96 is the size of the pixel map buffer to create. The value is calculated as follows: height x width x 4.
let bufferArr = new Uint8Array(color);
let opts = { editable: true, pixelFormat: 3, size: { height: 4, width: 6 } }
image.createPixelMap(color, opts).then((pixelmap) => {
    console.log('Succeeded in creating pixelmap.');
}).catch(error => {
    console.log('Failed to create pixelmap.');
})

image.createPixelMap8+

createPixelMap(colors: ArrayBuffer, options: InitializationOptions, callback: AsyncCallback<PixelMap>): void
