split an image programmaticall y

[dineshbajaj]

Hi Everybody,

I need to split an image file(*.jpeg) programmaticall y to nine or more
equal parts.

Since, the code is meant to run on Windows Pocket PC 2002, I can only
use methods supported by the .Net Compact Framework.

Thanks in Advance,

first calculate the different x,y positions you want to get from the source
image, then the height and with of every piece and use g.drawimage

Dim g As Graphics
Dim x(8) As Bitmap
for i as integer = 0 to 8
x(i) = New Bitmap(90, 90)
g = Graphics.FromIm age(x(i))
g.DrawImage(Pic tureBox1.Image, New Rectangle(0, 0, 90, 90), x, y, 90, 90, _
GraphicsUnit.Pi xel)
next

dineshbajaj,

Here is a function that splits an image into an array of smaller images. In you pass in rows = 2 and columns = 2 you will get back four images, each a quarter of the original image, each representing a different quadrant of the image.

Private Function SplitImage(ByVa l wholeImage As Image, ByVal rows As Integer, _
ByVal columns As Integer) As Image()
Dim cellWidth As Single = CType(wholeImag e.Width / columns, Single)
Dim cellHeight As Single = CType(wholeImag e.Height / rows, Single)
' Create an array of RectangleF to hold the RectangleFs
' that define parts (cells) of the wholeImage.
Dim rectangleFs((ro ws * columns) - 1) As RectangleF
' Fill RectangleFs array with RectangleF objects.
Dim currentRow As Single = 0
Dim currentColumn As Single = 0
Dim rectangleFIndex As Integer = 0
For currentRow = 0 To rows - 1
For currentColumn = 0 To columns - 1
Dim newRectangleF As New RectangleF()
newRectangleF.X = currentColumn * cellWidth
newRectangleF.Y = currentRow * cellHeight
newRectangleF.W idth = cellWidth
newRectangleF.H eight = cellHeight
rectangleFs(rec tangleFIndex) = newRectangleF
rectangleFIndex += 1
Next
Next
' Create an array of Images to contain the images
' that will be created from the wholeImage.
Dim images(rectangl eFs.GetLength(0 )) As Image
' Fill images array with Images.
Dim i As Integer = 0
For i = 0 To rectangleFs.Get UpperBound(0)
Dim newBitMap As New Bitmap(CType(ce llWidth, Integer), _
CType(cellHeigh t, Integer))
Dim bitMapGraphics As Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(newBitMap)
bitMapGraphics. Clear(Color.Blu e)
bitMapGraphics. DrawImage(whole Image, newBitMap.GetBo unds(GraphicsUn it.Pixel), _
rectangleFs(i), GraphicsUnit.Pi xel)
images(i) = newBitMap
Next
Return images
End Function
