ArcGIS.Core.Data.Raster Namespace / PixelBlock Class / GetPixelData Method
Index of a plane from this pixel block
Flag that indicates whether to get the array of pixels by reference (false) or value (true).
Example

In This Topic
    GetPixelData Method
    In This Topic
    Gets a 2-dimensional array of pixels from this pixel block based on the given plane. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public Array GetPixelData( 
       int plane,
       bool makeCopy
    )
    Public Function GetPixelData( _
       ByVal plane As Integer, _
       ByVal makeCopy As Boolean _
    ) As Array

    Parameters

    plane
    Index of a plane from this pixel block
    makeCopy
    Flag that indicates whether to get the array of pixels by reference (false) or value (true).

    Return Value

    An array of pixels from this pixel block based on the given plane.
    Example
    Process pixels using a pixel block
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      // Read pixel values from the raster dataset into the pixel block starting from the given top left corner.
      raster.Read(0, 0, currentPixelBlock);
    
      // For each plane (band) in the pixel block
      for (int plane = 0; plane < currentPixelBlock.GetPlaneCount(); plane++)
      {
        // Get a copy of the array of pixels from the pixel block corresponding to the current plane.
        Array sourcePixels = currentPixelBlock.GetPixelData(plane, true);
        // Get the height and width of the pixel block.
        int pBHeight = currentPixelBlock.GetHeight();
        int pBWidth = currentPixelBlock.GetWidth();
    
        // Iterate through the pixels in the array.
        for (int i = 0; i < pBHeight; i++)
        {
          for (int j = 0; j < pBWidth; j++)
          {
            // Get the NoData mask value to see if the pixel is a valid pixel.
            if (Convert.ToByte(currentPixelBlock.GetNoDataMaskValue(plane, j, i)) == 1)
            {
              // Get the pixel value from the array and process it (add 5 to the value).
              // Note: This is assuming the pixel type is Unisigned 8bit.
              int pixelValue = Convert.ToInt16(sourcePixels.GetValue(j, i)) + 5;
              // Make sure the pixel value does not go above the range of the pixel type.
              pixelValue = pixelValue > 254 ? 254 : pixelValue;
              // Set the new pixel value to the array.
              // Note: This is assuming the pixel type is Unisigned 8bit.
              sourcePixels.SetValue(Convert.ToByte(pixelValue), j, i);
            }
          }
        }
        // Set the modified array of pixels back to the pixel block.
        currentPixelBlock.SetPixelData(plane, sourcePixels);
      }
      // Write the pixel block to the raster dataset starting from the given top left corner.
      raster.Write(0, 0, currentPixelBlock);
    });
