How can I write an application that will crop images in C#?
Simpler than the accepted answer is this:
public static Bitmap cropAtRect(this Bitmap b, Rectangle r)
{
Bitmap nb = new Bitmap(r.Width, r.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(nb))
{
g.DrawImage(b, -r.X, -r.Y);
return nb;
}
}
and it avoids the "Out of memory" exception risk of the simplest answer.
Note that Bitmap and Graphics are IDisposable hence the using clauses.
EDIT: I find this is fine with PNGs saved by Bitmap.Save or Paint.exe, but fails with PNGs saved by e.g. Paint Shop Pro 6 - the content is displaced. Addition of GraphicsUnit.Pixel gives a different wrong result. Perhaps just these failing PNGs are faulty.
