DicomObjects (both COM and .NET versions) supports smoothing of displayed images, controlled by the MagnificationMode and MinificationMode properties of the image. Whilst using these produces a more visually pleasing image, it does not actually add to the “value” of an image, and does have a performance penalty, so developers are advised to disable these features whilst windowing and scrolling etc. by setting both to doFilterReplicate

There are two independent properties which control such smoothing in DicomObjects:

MinificationMode
Controls the smoothing where ActualZoom is <1
MagnificationMode
Controls the smoothing where ActualZoom is >1

Allowable values for MinificationMode

doFilterDefault
equal to doFilterMovingAverage
doFilterReplicate
Simply subsample (fast, but totally omits many pixels)
doFilterMovingAverage
Applies a linear kernel, depending on value of Filterlength

Allowable values for MagnificationMode

doFilterDefault
equal to doFilteReplicate ( note : different to the behaviour for MinificationMode)
doFilterReplicate
Simply replicate as needed (fast and safe, but some users dislike the "pixilation")
doFilterBSline
Applies a B-Spline kernel
doFilterCubicSline
Applies a Cubic-Spline kernel, using the CubicSplineAlpha property to define the sharpness
