The ExifPackage type exposes the following members:
| Constructor | Description |
|---|---|
| init | Initializes a new instance of the ExifPackage class. |
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| add_properties | Adds known metadata properties satisfying the specified predicate. The operation is recursive so it affects all nested packages as well. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| add_properties_func | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| clear | Removes all TIFF tags stored in the package. (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| contains | Returns True if the package contains a metadata property with the specified name; otherwise, False. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| contains_file | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| contains_string | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| find_properties | Finds metadata properties that satisfy the specified predicate, searching recursively through all nested packages. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| find_properties_func | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| get | (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| get_enumerator | Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| get_file | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| get_string | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| get_tiff_tag_id | (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| remove | Removes the property with the specified id. (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| remove_properties | Removes metadata properties satisfying the specified predicate. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| remove_properties_func | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| remove_tiff_tag_id | (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| sanitize | Removes writable metadata properties from the package, recursively affecting all nested packages. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| set | Adds or replaces the specified tag. (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| set_properties | Sets known metadata properties satisfying the specified predicate. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| set_properties_func | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| set_tiff_tag | (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| to_list | Creates a list from the package. (inherited from ExifDictionaryBasePackage) |
| update_properties | Updates known metadata properties that satisfy the specified predicate, recursively affecting all nested packages. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| update_properties_func | (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| artist | The name of the camera owner, photographer, or image creator. |
| copyright | The copyright notice. |
| date_time | The date and time of image creation. In the EXIF standard, it is the date and time the file was changed. |
| exif_ifd_package | The EXIF IFD data. |
| gps_package | The GPS data. |
| image_description | The image description, a character string giving the title of the image. It may be a comment such as “1988 company picnic” or similar. |
| image_length | The number of rows of image data. |
| image_width | The number of columns of image data, equal to the number of pixels per row. |
| make | The manufacturer of the recording equipment that generated the image. |
| model | The model name or model number of the equipment. |
| orientation | The orientation. |
| software | The name and version of the software or firmware of the camera or image input device used to generate the image. |
| thumbnail | The image thumbnail represented as an array of bytes. |
| count | The number of metadata properties. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| keys | The collection of metadata property names. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| know_property_descriptors | The collection of descriptors that contain information about properties accessible through the GroupDocs.Metadata search engine. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| metadata_type | The metadata type of the package. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
| property_descriptors | The collection of descriptors that contain information about properties accessible through the GroupDocs.Metadata search engine. (inherited from MetadataPackage) |
