Class GifOptions
Namespace: Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions
Assembly: Aspose.Imaging.dll (25.7.0)
The API for Graphical Interchange Format (GIF) raster image file creation offers developers comprehensive options for generating GIF images with precise control. With features to set background color, color palette, resolution, interlaced type, transparent color, XMP metadata container, and image compression, this API ensures flexibility and efficiency in creating optimized and visually appealing GIFs tailored to specific application requirements.

Examples
This example demonstrates the use of different classes from SaveOptions Namespace for export purposes. An image of type Gif is loaded into an instance of Image and then exported out to several formats.
string dir = "c:\\temp\\";
//Load an existing image (of type Gif) in an instance of Image class
using (Aspose.Imaging.Image image = Aspose.Imaging.Image.Load(dir + "sample.gif"))
{
//Export to BMP file format using the default options
image.Save(dir + "output.bmp", new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.BmpOptions());
//Export to JPEG file format using the default options
image.Save(dir + "output.jpg", new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.JpegOptions());
//Export to PNG file format using the default options
image.Save(dir + "output.png", new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PngOptions());
//Export to TIFF file format using the default options
image.Save(dir + "output.tif", new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.TiffOptions(Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Tiff.Enums.TiffExpectedFormat.Default));
}The following example shows how to convert a multipage vector image to GIF format in general way without referencing to a particular image type.
string dir = "C:\\aspose.imaging\\net\\misc\\ImagingReleaseQATester\\Tests\\testdata\\2548";
string inputFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(dir, "Multipage.cdr");
string outputFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(dir, "Multipage.cdr.gif");
Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptionsBase exportOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.GifOptions();
using (Aspose.Imaging.Image image = Aspose.Imaging.Image.Load(inputFilePath))
{
exportOptions.MultiPageOptions = null;
// Export only first two pages. These pages will be presented as animated frames in the output GIF.
Aspose.Imaging.IMultipageImage multipageImage = image as Aspose.Imaging.IMultipageImage;
if (multipageImage != null && (multipageImage.Pages != null && multipageImage.PageCount > 2))
{
exportOptions.MultiPageOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.MultiPageOptions(new Aspose.Imaging.IntRange(0, 2));
}
if (image is Aspose.Imaging.VectorImage)
{
exportOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions = (Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions)image.GetDefaultOptions(new object[] { Aspose.Imaging.Color.White, image.Width, image.Height });
exportOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions.TextRenderingHint = Aspose.Imaging.TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixel;
exportOptions.VectorRasterizationOptions.SmoothingMode = Aspose.Imaging.SmoothingMode.None;
}
image.Save(outputFilePath, exportOptions);
}This example shows how to Loads Pixel information in an Array of Type Color, manipulates the array and set it back to the image. To perform these operations, this example creates a new Image file (in GIF format) uisng MemoryStream object.
//Create an instance of MemoryStream
using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
//Create an instance of GifOptions and set its various properties including the Source property
Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.GifOptions gifOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.GifOptions();
gifOptions.Source = new Aspose.Imaging.Sources.StreamSource(stream);
//Create an instance of Image
using (Aspose.Imaging.RasterImage image = (Aspose.Imaging.RasterImage)Aspose.Imaging.Image.Create(gifOptions, 500, 500))
{
//Get the pixels of image by specifying the area as image boundary
Aspose.Imaging.Color[] pixels = image.LoadPixels(image.Bounds);
//Loop over the Array and sets color of alrenative indexed pixel
for (int index = 0; index < pixels.Length; index++)
{
if (index % 2 == 0)
{
//Set the indexed pixel color to yellow
pixels[index] = Aspose.Imaging.Color.Yellow;
}
else
{
//Set the indexed pixel color to blue
pixels[index] = Aspose.Imaging.Color.Blue;
}
}
//Apply the pixel changes to the image
image.SavePixels(image.Bounds, pixels);
// save all changes.
image.Save();
}
// Write MemoryStream to File
using (System.IO.FileStream fileStream = new System.IO.FileStream(@"C:\temp\output.gif", System.IO.FileMode.Create))
{
stream.WriteTo(fileStream);
}

Color Resolution - Number of bits per primary color available to the original image, minus 1. This value represents the size of the entire palette from which the colors in the graphic were selected, not the number of colors actually used in the graphic. For example, if the value in this field is 3, then the palette of the original image had 4 bits per primary color available to create the image. This value should be set to indicate the richness of the original palette, even if not every color from the whole palette is available on the source machine.
DoPaletteCorrection
Gets or sets a value indicating whether palette correction is applied.
public bool DoPaletteCorrection { get; set; }Property Value

Palette correction means that whenever image is exported to GIF the source image colors will be analyzed in order to build the best matching palette (in case image Palette does not exist or not specified in the options). The analyze process takes some time however the output image will have the best matching color palette and result is visually better.
HasTrailer
Gets or sets a value indicating whether GIF has trailer.
public bool HasTrailer { get; set; }Property Value
HasTransparentColor
Gets or sets a value indicating whether a GIF image has transparent color. If the return value is null, this property is overridden by the source image context.
[JsonProperty]
public bool? HasTransparentColor { get; set; }Property Value
bool ?
Interlaced
True if image should be interlaced.
public bool Interlaced { get; set; }Property Value

Gets or sets a value indicating whether palette entries are sorted.
public bool IsPaletteSorted { get; set; }Property Value
LoopsCount
Gets or sets the loops count (Default 1 loop)
public int LoopsCount { get; set; }Property Value
MaxDiff
Gets or sets the maximum allowed pixel difference. If greater than zero, lossy compression will be used. Recommended value for optimal lossy compression is 80. 30 is very light compression, 200 is heavy. It works best when only little loss is introduced, and due to limitation of the compression algorithm very high loss levels won’t give as much gain. The range of allowed values is [0, 1000].
public int MaxDiff { get; set; }Property Value

Gets or sets the GIF pixel aspect ratio.
public byte PixelAspectRatio { get; set; }Property Value
Remarks
Pixel Aspect Ratio - Factor used to compute an approximation of the aspect ratio of the pixel in the original image. If the value of the field is not 0, this approximation of the aspect ratio is computed based on the formula: Aspect Ratio = (Pixel Aspect Ratio + 15) / 64 The Pixel Aspect Ratio is defined to be the quotient of the pixel’s width over its height. The value range in this field allows specification of the widest pixel of 4:1 to the tallest pixel of 1:4 in increments of 1/64th. Values : 0 - No aspect ratio information is given. 1..255 - Value used in the computation.
