C# Project
In this project we will be learning to create mirror images of any selected image. By the end of this project you will be able to read image file and generate a mirror image and finally save the generated mirror image as an image file on your computer.
To create a mirror image we have to build the image pixel by pixel. Following steps are involved.
Read the source image in Bitmap object simg
Get the dimension of the source image.
int width = simg.Width;
int height = simg.Height;
Create a Bitmap object mimg for mirror image. Set the width of mimg to twice the original image width.
Bitmap mimg = new Bitmap(width*2, height);using System;

//read source image
Bitmap simg = new Bitmap("D:\\Image\\audrey.jpg");
//get source image dimension
int width = simg.Width;
int height = simg.Height;
//load source image in picturebox1
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("D:\\Image\\audrey.jpg");
//mirror image
Bitmap mimg = new Bitmap(width * 2, height);
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
{
for (int lx = 0, rx = width * 2 - 1; lx < width; lx++, rx--)
{
//get source pixel value
Color p = simg.GetPixel(lx, y);
//set mirror pixel value
mimg.SetPixel(lx, y, p);
mimg.SetPixel(rx, y, p);
}
}
//load mirror image in picturebox2
pictureBox2.Image = mimg;
//save (write) mirror image
mimg.Save("D:\\Image\\MirrorImage.png");
