1 \section{\class{wxImage}}\label{wximage}
2
3 This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created
4 from data, or using \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}. An image
5 can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats
6 via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so
7 it can be used for basic image manipulation.
8
9 A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a \helpref{wxDC}{wxdc}. Instead,
10 a platform-specific \helpref{wxBitmap}{wxbitmap} object must be created from it using
11 the \helpref{wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth)}{wxbitmapctor} constructor.
12 This bitmap can then
13 be drawn in a device context, using \helpref{wxDC::DrawBitmap}{wxdcdrawbitmap}.
14
15 One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic
16 creation of a \helpref{wxMask}{wxmask} object associated to the bitmap object.
17
18 \wxheading{Alpha channel support}
19
20 Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is in
21 addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel
22 it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. An alpha value of $0$
23 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while a value of $255$
24 means that the pixel is 100\% opaque.
25
26 Unlike RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel and before using
27 \helpref{GetAlpha}{wximagegetalpha} you should check if this image contains
28 an alpha channel with \helpref{HasAlpha}{wximagehasalpha}. Note that currently only
29 images loaded from PNG files with transparency information will have an alpha
30 channel but alpha support will be added to the other formats as well (as well
31 as support for saving images with alpha channel which also isn't implemented).
32
33 \wxheading{Available image handlers}
34
35 The following image handlers are available. {\bf wxBMPHandler} is always
36 installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
37 handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
38 \helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.

42 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxBMPHandler}}{For loading and saving, always installed.}
43 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxPNGHandler}}{For loading (including alpha support) and saving.}
44 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxJPEGHandler}}{For loading and saving.}

52 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxCURHandler}}{For loading and saving.}
53 \twocolitem{\indexit{wxANIHandler}}{For loading only.}
54 \end{twocollist}
55
56 When saving in PCX format, {\bf wxPCXHandler} will count the number of
57 different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will
58 save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.
59
60 Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in
61 PNM format, {\bf wxPNMHandler} will always save as raw RGB.

91 (Deprecated form, use \helpref{wxBitmap::ConvertToImage}{wxbitmapconverttoimage}
92 instead.) Constructs an image from a platform-dependent bitmap. This preserves
93 mask information so that bitmaps and images can be converted back
94 and forth without loss in that respect.

102
103 Creates an image from given data with the given width and height. If
104 {\it static\_data} is true, then wxImage will not delete the actual

161 \wxheading{Remarks}
162
163 Depending on how wxWidgets has been configured, not all formats may be available.
164
165 Note: any handler other than BMP must be previously
166 initialized with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
167 \helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.
168
169 Note: you can use \helpref{GetOptionInt}{wximagegetoptionint} to get the
170 hotspot for loaded cursor file:
171 \begin{verbatim}
172 int hotspot_x = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X);
173 int hotspot_y = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y);

245
246 \constfunc{unsigned long}{ComputeHistogram}{\param{wxImageHistogram\& }{histogram}}
247
248 Computes the histogram of the image. {\it histogram} is a reference to
249 wxImageHistogram object. wxImageHistogram is a specialization of
250 \helpref{wxHashMap}{wxhashmap} "template" and is defined as follows:
251
252 \begin{verbatim}

271 \membersection{wxImage::ConvertAlphaToMask}\label{wximageconvertalphatomask}
272
273 \func{bool}{ConvertAlphaToMask}{\param{unsigned char}{ threshold = 128}}
274
275 If the image has alpha channel, this method converts it to mask. All pixels
276 with alpha value less than \arg{threshold} are replaced with mask colour
277 and the alpha channel is removed. Mask colour is chosen automatically using
278 \helpref{FindFirstUnusedColour}{wximagefindfirstunusedcolour}.
279
280 If the image image doesn't have alpha channel,
281 ConvertAlphaToMask does nothing.
282
283 \wxheading{Return value}
284
285 \false if FindFirstUnusedColour returns \false, \true otherwise.
286
287
288 \membersection{wxImage::ConvertToBitmap}\label{wximageconverttobitmap}
289
290 \constfunc{wxBitmap}{ConvertToBitmap}{\void}

344
345 \docparam{startR,startG,startB}{Initial values of the colour. Returned colour
346 will have RGB values equal to or greater than these.}
347
348 Finds the first colour that is never used in the image. The search begins at
349 given initial colour and continues by increasing R, G and B components (in this
350 order) by 1 until an unused colour is found or the colour space exhausted.
351
352 \wxheading{Return value}
353
354 Returns false if there is no unused colour left, true on success.

400
401 Iterates all registered wxImageHandler objects, and returns a string containing file extension masks
402 suitable for passing to file open/save dialog boxes.
403
404 \wxheading{Return value}
405
406 The format of the returned string is "(*.ext1;*.ext2)|*.ext1;*.ext2".
407
408 It is usually a good idea to prepend a description before passing the result to the dialog.
409

422
423 \constfunc{unsigned char}{GetAlpha}{\param{int}{ x}, \param{int}{ y}}
424
425 Returns the alpha value for the given pixel. This function may only be called
426 for the images with alpha channel, use \helpref{HasAlpha}{wximagehasalpha} to
427 check for this.
428
429 The returned value is the {\it opacity} of the image, i.e. the value of $0$
430 corresponds to the transparent pixels while the value of $255$ -- to the opaque
431 ones.
432
433 \constfunc{unsigned char *}{GetAlpha}{\void}
434
435 Returns pointer to the array storing the alpha values for this image. This
436 pointer is {\tt NULL} for the images without the alpha channel. If the image
437 does have it, this pointer may be used to directly manipulate the alpha values
438 which are stored as the \helpref{RGB}{wximagegetdata} ones.

448 \membersection{wxImage::GetData}\label{wximagegetdata}
449
450 \constfunc{unsigned char*}{GetData}{\void}
451
452 Returns the image data as an array. This is most often used when doing
453 direct image manipulation. The return value points to an array of
454 characters in RGBRGBRGB$\ldots$ format in the top-to-bottom, left-to-right
455 order, that is the first RGB triplet corresponds to the pixel first pixel of
456 the first row, the second one --- to the second pixel of the first row and so
457 on until the end of the first row, with second row following after it and so
458 on.

1027
1028 This function is similar to \helpref{SetData}{wximagesetdata} and has similar
1029 restrictions. The pointer passed to it may however be {\tt NULL} in which case
1030 the function will allocate the alpha array internally -- this is useful to add
1031 alpha channel data to an image which doesn't have any. If the pointer is not
1032 {\tt NULL}, it must have one byte for each image pixel and be allocated with
1033 {\tt malloc()}. wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it.
1034
1035 \func{void}{SetAlpha}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{unsigned char }{alpha}}
1036
1037 Sets the alpha value for the given pixel. This function should only be called

1079 \docparam{mask}{The mask image to extract mask shape from. Must have same dimensions as the image.}
1080
1081 \docparam{mr,mg,mb}{RGB value of pixels in {\it mask} that will be used to create the mask.}
1082
1083 Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of {\it mr,mg,mb}
1084 in {\it mask} will be masked in the image. This is done by first finding an
1085 unused colour in the image, setting this colour as the mask colour and then
1086 using this colour to draw all pixels in the image who corresponding pixel
1087 in {\it mask} has given RGB value.
1088
1089 \wxheading{Return value}
1090
1091 Returns false if {\it mask} does not have same dimensions as the image or if
1092 there is no unused colour left. Returns true if the mask was successfully
1093 applied.
1094
1095 \wxheading{Notes}
1096
1097 Note that this method involves computing the histogram, which is
1098 computationally intensive operation.

1104
1105 \func{void}{SetOption}{\param{const wxString\&}{ name}, \param{int}{ value}}
1106
1107 Sets a user-defined option. The function is case-insensitive to {\it name}.
1108
1109 For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option {\bf quality} is
1110 used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

1120
1121 \func{void}{SetPalette}{\param{const wxPalette\&}{ palette}}
1122
1123 Associates a palette with the image. The palette may be used when converting
1124 wxImage to wxBitmap (MSW only at present) or in file save operations (none as yet).

1129 \func{void}{SetRGB}{\param{int }{x}, \param{int }{y}, \param{unsigned char }{red}, \param{unsigned char }{green}, \param{unsigned char }{blue}}
1130
1131 Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks
1132 for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
1133 data, but in some cases this might be too slow so that the data will have to
1134 be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data
1135 using the \helpref{GetData}{wximagegetdata} method.

1141
1142 Sets the colour of the pixels within the given rectangle. This routine performs
1143 bounds-checks for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the
1144 data.

1193 Returns true if the images were unequal, false otherwise.
1194
1195 \section{\class{wxImageHandler}}\label{wximagehandler}
1196
1197 This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.
1198 It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.
1199
1200 If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from wxImageHandler
1201 and add the handler using \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} in your
1202 application initialisation.
1203
1204 \wxheading{Note (Legal Issue)}
1205
1206 This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
