Save(Stream)

Saves the image into the specified stream.

public void Save(Stream stream)
ParameterTypeDescription
streamStreamThe stream where to save the image to.

Remarks

Is it the responsibility of the caller to dispose the stream object.

Examples

Shows how to save all images from a document to the file system.

Document imgSourceDoc = new Document(MyDir + "Images.docx");

// Shapes with the "HasImage" flag set store and display all the document's images.
IEnumerable<Shape> shapesWithImages = 
    imgSourceDoc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true).Cast<Shape>().Where(s => s.HasImage);

// Go through each shape and save its image.
ImageFormatConverter formatConverter = new ImageFormatConverter();

using (IEnumerator<Shape> enumerator = shapesWithImages.GetEnumerator())
{
    int shapeIndex = 0;

    while (enumerator.MoveNext())
    {
        ImageData imageData = enumerator.Current.ImageData;                    

        using (FileStream fileStream = File.Create(ArtifactsDir + $"Drawing.SaveAllImages.{++shapeIndex}.{imageData.ImageType}"))
            imageData.Save(fileStream);
    }
}

Save(string)

Saves the image into a file.

public void Save(string fileName)
ParameterTypeDescription
fileNameStringThe file name where to save the image.

Examples

Shows how to extract images from a document, and save them to the local file system as individual files.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Images.docx");

// Get the collection of shapes from the document,
// and save the image data of every shape with an image as a file to the local file system.
NodeCollection shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true);

Assert.AreEqual(9, shapes.Count(s => ((Shape)s).HasImage));

int imageIndex = 0;
foreach (Shape shape in shapes.OfType<Shape>())
{
    if (shape.HasImage)
    {
        // The image data of shapes may contain images of many possible image formats. 
        // We can determine a file extension for each image automatically, based on its format.
        string imageFileName =
            $"File.ExtractImages.{imageIndex}{FileFormatUtil.ImageTypeToExtension(shape.ImageData.ImageType)}";
        shape.ImageData.Save(ArtifactsDir + imageFileName);
        imageIndex++;
    }
}
