Subject: Re: RGB or Scanline
In reply to: Bob Villiers 's message, "RGB or Scanline" on 17:18:55 02/23/01 Fri


Dear Bob,

Using the ScanLine property will be slightly faster (but maybe not noticeable depending on the operations), because the RGB property is accessed for every pixel and it may do some conversion from an RGB to a palette index if you are manipulating black and white or palette images. With the RGB property, you don't have to worry about the layout of the bits within the scan line.

Best regards,

Michel
