Hi Dirk,

Envision has two methods to perform an image conversion. One is to use dithering, and the other is to let windows do the color mapping from one format to another. Windows will use thresholding, but you cannot control the threshold.

It is quite easy to do. You can create a class derived from TImageTransform, for example, TBWThresholdTransform. Then use the RGB property on every pixel to read the RGB values (for grayscale only one needs to be read, as for every pixel they are the same). From the original value you can apply your threshold.

There are examples of many transforms in EnTrans.Pas. Let me know if you have problems.

Best regards,

Michel
