## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Access | Public |

## Procedures

- `Clear(Alpha: Integer; Red: Integer; Green: Integer; Blue: Integer)`: Clears the entire drawing surface and fills it with the specified background color.
- `Clear(Red: Integer; Green: Integer; Blue: Integer)`: Clears the entire drawing surface and fills it with the specified background color.
- `Crop(X: Integer; Y: Integer; Width: Integer; Height: Integer)`: Crops the image based on a rectangle specified by the user. The resulting crop will be a hole-cut in the image made by the rectangle.
- `GetFormatAsText(): Text`: Gets the image format as a text.
- `GetFormat(): Enum "Image Format"`: Gets the image format as an Enum "Image Format".
- `SetFormat(ImageFormat: Enum "Image Format")`: Sets the image format from an Enum "Image Format".
- `FromBase64(Base64Text: Text)`: Creates an Image from base64 encoding.
- `FromStream(InStream: InStream)`: Creates an image from the specified data stream.
- `GetWidth(): Integer`: Gets the width in pixels.
- `GetHeight(): Integer`: Gets the height in pixels.
- `Resize(Width: Integer; Height: Integer)`: Resizes the Image to the specified size.
- `RotateFlip(RotateFlipType: Enum "Rotate Flip Type")`: Rotates, flips, or rotates and flips the image.
- `Save(OutStream: OutStream)`: Saves the image to the specified stream in the specified format.
- `ToBase64(): Text`: Convert the image to a base64 encoded string.
- `GetRotateFlipType(): Enum "Rotate Flip Type"`: Gets the image rotation flip type.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 3970 "Image Impl."](../codeunit/3970.md) (14 calls: `Clear → Clear`, `Crop → Crop`, `FromBase64 → FromBase64`, …)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 4112 "Image Helpers"](../codeunit/4112.md) (4 calls: `GetHTMLImgSrc → GetFormatAsText`, `GetHTMLImgSrc → ToBase64`, `GetImageType → GetFormatAsText`, …)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Image")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
