Error handling

i_clear_error()

Clears the error stack.

Called by any imager function before doing any other processing.

i_push_error(int code, char const *msg)

Called by an imager function to push an error message onto the stack.

No message is pushed if the stack is full (since this means someone forgot to call i_clear_error(), or that a function that doesn't do error handling is calling function that does.).

i_push_errorf(int code, char const *fmt, ...)

A version of i_push_error() that does printf() like formating.

i_push_errorvf(int code, char const *fmt, va_list ap)

Intended for use by higher level functions, takes a varargs pointer and a format to produce the finally pushed error message.

Fills

i_fill_destroy(fill)

Call to destroy any fill object.

i_new_fill_fount(xa, ya, xb, yb, type, repeat, combine, super_sample, ssample_param, count, segs)

Creates a new general fill which fills with a fountain fill.

i_new_fill_hatch(fg, bg, combine, hatch, cust_hatch, dx, dy)

Creates a new hatched fill with the fg color used for the 1 bits in the hatch and bg for the 0 bits. If combine is non-zero alpha values will be combined.

If cust_hatch is non-NULL it should be a pointer to 8 bytes of the hash definition, with the high-bits to the left.

If cust_hatch is NULL then one of the standard hatches is used.

(dx, dy) are an offset into the hatch which can be used to unalign adjoining areas, or to align the origin of a hatch with the the side of a filled area.

i_new_fill_hatchf(fg, bg, combine, hatch, cust_hatch, dx, dy)

Creates a new hatched fill with the fg color used for the 1 bits in the hatch and bg for the 0 bits. If combine is non-zero alpha values will be combined.

If cust_hatch is non-NULL it should be a pointer to 8 bytes of the hash definition, with the high-bits to the left.

If cust_hatch is NULL then one of the standard hatches is used.

(dx, dy) are an offset into the hatch which can be used to unalign adjoining areas, or to align the origin of a hatch with the the side of a filled area.

i_new_fill_image(im, matrix, xoff, yoff, combine)

Create an image based fill.

matrix is an array of 9 doubles representing a transformation matrix.

xoff and yoff are the offset into the image to start filling from.

i_new_fill_solid(color, combine)

Create a solid fill based on an 8-bit color.

If combine is non-zero then alpha values will be combined.

i_new_fill_solidf(color, combine)

Create a solid fill based on a float color.

If combine is non-zero then alpha values will be combined.

Image

i_copy(src)

Tags are not copied, only the image data.

Returns: i_img *

i_copyto(dest, src, x1, y1, x2, y2, tx, ty)

Copies image data from the area (x1,y1)-[x2,y2] in the source image to a rectangle the same size with it's top-left corner at (tx,ty) in the destination image.

If x1 > x2 or y1 > y2 then the corresponding co-ordinates are swapped.

i_copyto_trans(im, src, x1, y1, x2, y2, tx, ty, trans)

(x1,y1) (x2,y2) specifies the region to copy (in the source coordinates) (tx,ty) specifies the upper left corner for the target image. pass NULL in trans for non transparent i_colors.

i_img_destroy(im)

Destroy image and free data via exorcise.

im - Image pointer

i_img_info(im, info)

Return image information

im - Image pointer
info - pointer to array to return data

info is an array of 4 integers with the following values:

info[0] - width
info[1] - height
info[2] - channels
info[3] - channel mask

i_rubthru(im, src, tx, ty, src_minx, src_miny, src_maxx, src_maxy )

Takes the sub image src[src_minx, src_maxx)[src_miny, src_maxy) and overlays it at (tx,ty) on the image object.

The alpha channel of each pixel in src is used to control how much the existing colour in im is replaced, if it is 255 then the colour is completely replaced, if it is 0 then the original colour is left unmodified.

Image creation

i_img_16_new(x, y, ch)

Create a new 16-bit/sample image.

Returns the image on success, or NULL on failure.

i_img_8_new(x, y, ch)

Returns a new image or NULL on failure.

i_sametype(i_img *im, int xsize, int ysize)

Returns an image of the same type (sample size, channels, paletted/direct).

For paletted images the palette is copied from the source.

i_sametype_chans(i_img *im, int xsize, int ysize, int channels)

Returns an image of the same type (sample size).

For paletted images the equivalent direct type is returned.

Image quantization

i_quant_makemap(quant, imgs, count)

i_quant_translate(quant, img)

Quantize the image given the palette in quant.

You should call myfree() on the returned block when you're done with it.

This function will fail if the supplied palette contains no colors.

i_quant_transparent(quant, data, img, trans_index)

Dither the alpha channel on img into the palette indexes in data. Pixels to be transparent are replaced with trans_pixel.

The method used depends on the tr_* members of quant.

Paletted images

On success copies the string to value for a max of value_size and returns true.

On failure returns false.

value_size must be at least large enough for a string representation of an integer.

The copied value is always NUL terminated.

i_tags_new(i_img_tags *tags)

Initialize a tags structure. Should not be used if the tags structure has been previously used.

This should be called tags member of an i_img object on creation (in i_img_*_new() functions).
