Swap Channels

Swaps the red and blue channels of an image, converting between RGB and BGR formats.

Remarks

The Swap Channels command is used to reorder the color channels of an image, specifically converting from RGB (red, green, blue) to BGR (blue, green, red) format or vice versa. This operation is often required when working with image formats or APIs that expect a specific channel order.

• The command processes only 24-bit RGB images. Images in other pixel formats are not modified.
• No properties are required to configure this command; it operates automatically on supported images.

Supported Pixel Formats

The Swap Channels command supports 24-bit RGB images (Pixel24bppBgr).

Usage Example

Use Swap Channels when you need to convert images between systems or libraries that use different channel orders, such as preparing images for display or export to file formats with BGR ordering.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Command Type	String	►	The display name of this image processing command. The 'Command Type Name' property shows the user-friendly name of the IP Command as it appears in the Grooper UI. This helps users identify which command is being configured or executed, especially when working with IP Profiles containing multiple commands. This property is read-only and is automatically set based on the command's type.
Supported Pixel Formats	String	►	The pixel formats supported by this command. The 'Supported Pixel Formats' property lists the image pixel formats that the IP Command can process. If an image does not match one of these formats, the command will be skipped for that image. By default, all pixel formats are supported unless a derived command restricts this list. Example formats include Pixel8bppGrayscale, Pixel24bppBgr, and Pixel1bppIndexed. Use this property to verify compatibility when building IP Profiles or troubleshooting why a command did not execute.
