PictureFormat.ImageFormat Property
Publisher Developer Reference |
Returns a PbImageFormat constant that represents the image format of a picture as determined by Microsoft Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI+). Read-only.
Syntax
expression.ImageFormat
expression A variable that represents an PictureFormat object.
Return Value
PbImageFormat
Remarks
The ImageFormat property applies to the original picture, rather than the placeholder picture, if there is one.
The ImageFormat property value can be one of the PbImageFormat constants declared in the Microsoft Office Publisher type library.
The ImageFormat property indicates the format of the picture after it has been imported into the Windows environment, rather than its original file format. If the picture's file format is not natively supported by the Windows operating system, the picture is converted to an analogous format that is natively supported. As a result, the pbImageFormatCMYKJPEG, pbImageFormatDIB, pbImageFormatEMF, pbImageFormatGIF, and pbImageFormatPICT constants will rarely, if ever, be returned. Consult the table below for specific file format conversions.
File format | Constant returned |
---|---|
.bmp, .dib, .gif, .pict | pbImageFormatPNG |
.emf, .eps, .epfs | pbImageFormatWMF |
CMYK .jfif, .jpeg, .jpg | pbImageFormatJPEG |
Windows GDI+ is the portion of the Microsoft Windows XP operating system and the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system that provides two-dimensional vector graphics, imaging, and typography.
