# RasterPictureBlock Object (IRasterPictureBlock Interface)

This object provides access to specific properties of a raster picture block. The part of the image that this block encloses is not recognized, and the block is exported "as is." The IRasterPictureBlock interface is derived from the [IBlock](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/layout-related-objects/block) interface and inherits all its properties.

## Properties

| Name      | Type                                                                                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| ColorType | [ImageColorTypeEnum](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/enumerations/imagecolortypeenum) | Specifies the color type for the whole image as the maximum of the corresponding values for its color planes (black-and-white, gray, color). The default value of this property is ICT\\\_Color. |

## Methods

| Name                                                                                                                      | Description                                                                                               |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [CopyFrom](/fine-reader/engine/visual-components-reference/supplementary-objects/spellwordcollection/copyfrom-method)     | Initializes the properties of the current object with the values of similar properties of another object. |
| [SetBlockLayerType](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/layout-related-objects/vectorpictureblock/setblocklayertype-method) | Sets the layer of the block: background, foreground, or hidden.                                           |
