Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging.WriteableBitmap

-description

Provides a BitmapSource that can be written to and updated.

-remarks

The image source data of a WriteableBitmap is an underlying pixel buffer.

The IBuffer returned by WriteableBitmap.PixelBuffer can't be written to directly. But you can use language-specific techniques to write to the underlying pixel content in the buffer. For details, see the Remarks section of WriteableBitmap.PixelBuffer.

Some of the scenarios where you might have used a WriteableBitmap class in previous XAML frameworks can be accomplished in the Windows Runtime by using the RenderTargetBitmap class instead. For more info see RenderTargetBitmap.

-examples

For code examples in C#, C++/WinRT, and C++/CX, see WriteableBitmap.PixelBuffer.
