Writing Pixel Data

BitmapEncoder exposes a SetPixelData method that is analogous to the more complex overload of BitmapDecoder’s GetPixelDataAsync method. In addition to passing a flattened byte array (with pixels in row-major order), you must specify everything needed for the encoder to interpret the array: the pixel format, alpha mode, width, and height. You must also provide DPI values for both dimensions (or 0 to omit that metadata). The following implementation of UseEncoder creates a red-blue gradient image exactly like the one created with WriteableBitmap in Figure 12.4:

async Task UseEncoder(BitmapEncoder encoder) {   const int PixelWidth = 1024;   const int PixelHeight = 728;   const int BytesPerPixel = ...
