This is the basic interface to an image object. It allows applications to do the following:

• Display the image onto a destination graphics context
• Push image data into an image sink
• Access image properties and metadata

Decoded image objects and in-memory bitmap image objects support the IImage interface.

The following table shows the methods for this interface by functional grouping. Like all COM interfaces, this interface inherits the methods for the IUnknown interface.

To obtain a pointer to an IImage interface, you can call the following methods.

• IImage::GetThumbnail
• IImageDecoder::GetThumbnail
• IImagingFactory::CreateImageFromBuffer
• IImagingFactory::CreateImageFromStream
