Pixel Access

[Simon Brown]

I know this is a very basic question - but how can I access the individual pixels of the "Document" class?

[pyrochild]

If you don't need access to individual layers : document.Render()

If you do: document.Layers.GetAt().Render()\

EDIT: I think... haven't tested, and there might be a simpler way...

EDIT2: Yup, Rick posted a simpler way

Technically speaking, a Document does not have pixels.

A Document has Layers.

A Layer has a Surface.

The Surface has the pixels (ColorBgra).

void Manipulate(Document d)
{
   d.Layers[0].Surface[x, y] = something;
}

(assuming 'd' is a Document that has had at least one BitmapLayer added to it)

Thanks for your help. Here is my plugin: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21917

I now know an even easier way: Document.FromImage();

I have another question - how can you access pixel data when exporting?
