41 This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and
42 image creation from data.
43 It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.
45 If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from
46 wxImageHandler and add the handler using wxImage::AddHandler in your
47 application initialization.
49 Note that all wxImageHandlers provided by wxWidgets are part of
50 the @ref page_libs_wxcore library.
51 For details about the default handlers, please see the section
52 @ref image_handlers in the wxImage class documentation.
55 @section imagehandler_note Note (Legal Issue)
57 This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

228 This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.
230 An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage.
231 An image can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible
232 to new formats via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and
233 get image bits, so it can be used for basic image manipulation.
235 A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC.
236 Instead, a platform-specific wxBitmap object must be created from it using
237 the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor.
238 This bitmap can then be drawn in a device context, using wxDC::DrawBitmap.
240 One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to
241 the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.
244 @section image_alpha Alpha channel support
246 Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is
247 in addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each
248 pixel it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity.
250 An alpha value of 0 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while
251 a value of 255 means that the pixel is 100% opaque.
252 The constants ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT and ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_OPAQUE can be
253 used to indicate those values in a more readable form.
255 Unlike RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel and before using
256 wxImage::GetAlpha you should check if this image contains an alpha channel
257 with wxImage::HasAlpha. Note that currently only the PNG format has full
258 alpha channel support so only the images loaded from PNG files can have
259 alpha and, if you initialize the image alpha channel yourself using
260 wxImage::SetAlpha, you should save it in PNG format to avoid losing it.
263 @section image_handlers Available image handlers
265 The following image handlers are available.
266 wxBMPHandler is always installed by default.
267 To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with
268 wxImage::AddHandler or call ::wxInitAllImageHandlers().
270 - wxBMPHandler: For loading and saving, always installed.
271 - wxPNGHandler: For loading (including alpha support) and saving.
272 - wxJPEGHandler: For loading and saving.
273 - wxGIFHandler: Only for loading, due to legal issues.
274 - wxPCXHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
275 - wxPNMHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
276 - wxTIFFHandler: For loading and saving.
277 - wxTGAHandler: For loading only.
278 - wxIFFHandler: For loading only.
279 - wxXPMHandler: For loading and saving.
280 - wxICOHandler: For loading and saving.
281 - wxCURHandler: For loading and saving.
282 - wxANIHandler: For loading only.
284 When saving in PCX format, wxPCXHandler will count the number of different
285 colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will save as 8 bit,
286 else it will save as 24 bit.
288 Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images.
289 When saving in PNM format, wxPNMHandler will always save as raw RGB.
298 @see wxBitmap, wxInitAllImageHandlers(), wxPixelData
300 class wxImage
: public wxObject

420 Name of the file from which to load the image.
422 May be one of the following:
423 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP: Load a Windows bitmap file.
424 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF: Load a GIF bitmap file.
425 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG: Load a JPEG bitmap file.

434 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI: Load a Windows animated cursor file (ANI).
435 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY: Will try to autodetect the format.
437 Index of the image to load in the case that the image file contains
438 multiple images. This is only used by GIF, ICO and TIFF handlers.
439 The default value (-1) means "choose the default image" and is
440 interpreted as the first image (index=0) by the GIF and TIFF handler
441 and as the largest and most colourful one by the ICO handler.
443 @remarks Depending on how wxWidgets has been configured and by which
444 handlers have been loaded, not all formats may be available.
445 Any handler other than BMP must be previously initialized with
446 wxImage::AddHandler or wxInitAllImageHandlers.
449 You can use GetOptionInt() to get the hotspot when loading cursor files:
451 int hotspot_x = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X);
452 int hotspot_y = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y);

663 Passing @true to @a interpolating results in better image quality, but is slower.
665 If the image has a mask, then the mask colour is used for the uncovered
666 pixels in the rotated image background. Else, black (rgb 0, 0, 0) will be used.
668 Returns the rotated image, leaving this image intact.

683 corresponds to +360 degrees.
685 void RotateHue(double angle
);
688 Returns a scaled version of the image.
690 This is also useful for scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way
691 to scale bitmaps is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
693 The parameter @a quality determines what method to use for resampling the image.
694 Can be one of the following:
695 - wxIMAGE_QUALITY_NORMAL: Uses the normal default scaling method of pixel
697 - wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH: Uses bicubic and box averaging resampling methods
698 for upsampling and downsampling respectively
700 It should be noted that although using @c wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH produces much nicer
701 looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging
702 method which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
703 this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme
704 cases it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a
707 It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
708 when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
709 image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
714 // get the bitmap from somewhere
717 // rescale it to have size of 32*32
718 if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
720 wxImage image = bmp.ConvertToImage();

738 The image is pasted into a new image with the given @a size and background
739 colour at the position @a pos relative to the upper left of the new image.
741 If @a red = green = blue = -1 then the areas of the larger image not covered
742 by this image are made transparent by filling them with the image mask colour
743 (which will be allocated automatically if it isn't currently set).

761 If the image has alpha channel, this method converts it to mask.
763 If the image has an alpha channel, all pixels with alpha value less
764 than @a threshold are replaced with the mask colour and the alpha
765 channel is removed. Otherwise nothing is done.
767 The mask colour is chosen automatically using

769 this is not appropriate.

781 channel is removed. Otherwise nothing is done.
786 The red component of the mask colour.
788 The green component of the mask colour.
790 The blue component of the mask colour.
792 Pixels with alpha channel values below the given threshold are
793 considered to be transparent, i.e. the corresponding mask pixels
794 are set. Pixels with the alpha values above the threshold are
795 considered to be opaque.

802 Returns a greyscale version of the image.
804 The returned image uses the luminance component of the original to
805 calculate the greyscale. Defaults to using the standard ITU-T BT.601
806 when converting to YUV, where every pixel equals
807 (R * @a lr) + (G * @a lg) + (B * @a lb).

851 Finds the first colour that is never used in the image.
852 The search begins at given initial colour and continues by increasing
853 R, G and B components (in this order) by 1 until an unused colour is
854 found or the colour space exhausted.
856 The parameters @a r, @a g, @a b are pointers to variables to save the colour.
858 The parameters @a startR, @a startG, @a startB define the initial values
860 The returned colour will have RGB values equal to or greater than these.
862 @return Returns @false if there is no unused colour left, @true on success.
865 This method involves computing the histogram, which is a
866 computationally intensive operation.

905 in the top-to-bottom, left-to-right order, that is the first RGB triplet
906 corresponds to the pixel first pixel of the first row, the second one ---
907 to the second pixel of the first row and so on until the end of the first
908 row, with second row following after it and so on.

973 Gets a user-defined string-valued option.
975 Currently the only defined string option is
976 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_FILENAME: The name of the file from which the image
980 The name of the option, case-insensitive.
982 The value of the option or an empty string if not found. Use
983 HasOption() if an empty string can be a valid option value.
985 @see SetOption(), GetOptionInt(), HasOption()
987 wxString
GetOption(const wxString
& name
) const;
990 Gets a user-defined integer-valued option.
992 The function is case-insensitive to @a name.
993 If the given option is not present, the function returns 0.
994 Use HasOption() is 0 is a possibly valid value for the option.
997 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_WIDTH and @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_HEIGHT: If either
998 of these options is specified, the loaded image will be scaled down
999 (preserving its aspect ratio) so that its width is less than the
1000 max width given if it is not 0 @em and its height is less than the
1001 max height given if it is not 0. This is typically used for loading
1002 thumbnails and the advantage of using these options compared to
1003 calling Rescale() after loading is that some handlers (only JPEG
1004 one right now) support rescaling the image during loading which is
1005 vastly more efficient than loading the entire huge image and
1006 rescaling it later (if these options are not supported by the
1007 handler, this is still what happens however). These options must be
1008 set before calling LoadFile() to have any effect.
1010 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_QUALITY: JPEG quality used when saving. This is an
1011 integer in 0..100 range with 0 meaning very poor and 100 excellent
1012 (but very badly compressed). This option is currently ignored for
1015 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT: The value of this option determines
1016 whether the resolution of the image is specified in centimetres or
1017 inches, see wxImageResolution enum elements.
1019 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTION, @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONX and
1020 @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONY: These options define the resolution of
1021 the image in the units corresponding to @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT
1022 options value. The first option can be set before saving the image
1023 to set both horizontal and vertical resolution to the same value.
1024 The X and Y options are set by the image handlers if they support
1025 the image resolution (currently BMP, JPEG and TIFF handlers do) and
1026 the image provides the resolution information and can be queried
1027 after loading the image.
1029 Options specific to wxPNGHandler:
1030 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FORMAT: Format for saving a PNG file, see
1031 wxImagePNGType for the supported values.
1032 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_BITDEPTH: Bit depth for every channel (R/G/B/A).
1033 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FILTER: Filter for saving a PNG file, see libpng
1034 (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng-1.2.5-manual.html) for possible values
1035 (e.g. PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB, PNG_FILTER_UP, etc).
1036 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: Compression level (0..9) for
1037 saving a PNG file. An high value creates smaller-but-slower PNG file.
1038 Note that unlike other formats (e.g. JPEG) the PNG format is always
1039 lossless and thus this compression level doesn't tradeoff the image
1041 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_MEM_LEVEL: Compression memory usage
1042 level (1..9) for saving a PNG file. An high value means the saving
1043 process consumes more memory, but may create smaller PNG file.
1044 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_STRATEGY: Possible values are 0 for
1045 default strategy, 1 for filter, and 2 for Huffman-only.
1046 You can use OptiPNG (http://optipng.sourceforge.net/) to get a suitable
1047 value for your application.
1048 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_BUFFER_SIZE: Internal buffer size
1049 (in bytes) for saving a PNG file. Ideally this should be as big as
1050 the resulting PNG file. Use this option if your application produces
1051 images with small size variation.
1054 The name of the option, case-insensitive.
1056 The value of the option or 0 if not found.
1057 Use HasOption() if 0 can be a valid option value.

1319 This function is similar to SetData() and has similar restrictions.
1321 The pointer passed to it may however be @NULL in which case the function
1322 will allocate the alpha array internally -- this is useful to add alpha
1323 channel data to an image which doesn't have any.
1325 If the pointer is not @NULL, it must have one byte for each image pixel
1326 and be allocated with malloc().
1327 wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it unless @a static_data
1328 parameter is set to @true -- in this case the caller should do it.
1330 void SetAlpha(unsigned char* alpha
= NULL
,
1331 bool static_data
= false);
1334 Sets the alpha value for the given pixel.
1335 This function should only be called if the image has alpha channel data,
1336 use HasAlpha() to check for this.
1338 void SetAlpha(int x
, int y
, unsigned char alpha
);
1341 Sets the image data without performing checks.
1343 The data given must have the size (width*height*3) or results will be
1344 unexpected. Don't use this method if you aren't sure you know what you

1363 Specifies whether there is a mask or not.
1365 The area of the mask is determined by the current mask colour.
1367 void SetMask(bool hasMask
= true);
1370 Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).
1372 void SetMaskColour(unsigned char red
, unsigned char green
,
1373 unsigned char blue
);
1376 Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of mr,mg,mb in
1377 mask will be masked in the image.
1379 This is done by first finding an unused colour in the image, setting
1380 this colour as the mask colour and then using this colour to draw all
1381 pixels in the image who corresponding pixel in mask has given RGB value.
1383 The parameter @a mask is the mask image to extract mask shape from.
1384 It must have the same dimensions as the image.
1386 The parameters @a mr, @a mg, @a mb are the RGB values of the pixels in
1387 mask that will be used to create the mask.
1389 @return Returns @false if mask does not have same dimensions as the image
1390 or if there is no unused colour left. Returns @true if the mask
1391 was successfully applied.
1394 Note that this method involves computing the histogram, which is a
1395 computationally intensive operation.
1397 bool SetMaskFromImage(const wxImage
& mask
, unsigned char mr

1402 Sets a user-defined option. The function is case-insensitive to @a name.
1404 For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option @b quality is
1405 used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

1423 or in file save operations (none as yet).
1425 void SetPalette(const wxPalette

1439 Set the type of image returned by GetType().
1441 This method is mostly used internally by the library but can also be
1442 called from the user code if the image was created from data in the
1443 given bitmap format without using LoadFile() (which would set the type
1444 correctly automatically).
1446 Notice that the image must be created before this function is called.
1451 One of bitmap type constants, @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_INVALID is a valid
1452 value for it and can be used to reset the bitmap type to default
