64 This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and
65 image creation from data.
66 It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.
68 If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from
69 wxImageHandler and add the handler using wxImage::AddHandler in your
70 application initialization.
72 Note that all wxImageHandlers provided by wxWidgets are part of
73 the @ref page_libs_wxcore library.
74 For details about the default handlers, please see the section
75 @ref image_handlers in the wxImage class documentation.
78 @section imagehandler_note Note (Legal Issue)
80 This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

275 This class encapsulates a platform-independent image.
277 An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage.
278 An image can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible
279 to new formats via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and
280 get image bits, so it can be used for basic image manipulation.
282 A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC.
283 Instead, a platform-specific wxBitmap object must be created from it using
284 the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor.
285 This bitmap can then be drawn in a device context, using wxDC::DrawBitmap.
287 One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to
288 the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.
291 @section image_alpha Alpha channel support
293 Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is
294 in addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each
295 pixel it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity.
297 An alpha value of 0 corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while
298 a value of 255 means that the pixel is 100% opaque.
299 The constants ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT and ::wxIMAGE_ALPHA_OPAQUE can be
300 used to indicate those values in a more readable form.
302 While all images have RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel. Before
303 using wxImage::GetAlpha you should check if this image contains an alpha
304 channel with wxImage::HasAlpha. Note that currently only the PNG format has
305 full alpha channel support so only the images loaded from PNG files can have
306 alpha and, if you initialize the image alpha channel yourself using
307 wxImage::SetAlpha, you should save it in PNG format to avoid losing it.
310 @section image_handlers Available image handlers
312 The following image handlers are available.
313 wxBMPHandler is always installed by default.
314 To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with
315 wxImage::AddHandler or call ::wxInitAllImageHandlers().
317 - wxBMPHandler: For loading and saving, always installed.
318 - wxPNGHandler: For loading (including alpha support) and saving.
319 - wxJPEGHandler: For loading and saving.
320 - wxGIFHandler: Only for loading, due to legal issues.
321 - wxPCXHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
322 - wxPNMHandler: For loading and saving (see below).
323 - wxTIFFHandler: For loading and saving.
324 - wxTGAHandler: For loading only.
325 - wxIFFHandler: For loading only.
326 - wxXPMHandler: For loading and saving.
327 - wxICOHandler: For loading and saving.
328 - wxCURHandler: For loading and saving.
329 - wxANIHandler: For loading only.
331 When saving in PCX format, wxPCXHandler will count the number of different
332 colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will save as 8 bit,
333 else it will save as 24 bit.
335 Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images.
336 When saving in PNM format, wxPNMHandler will always save as raw RGB.
345 @see wxBitmap, wxInitAllImageHandlers(), wxPixelData
347 class wxImage
: public wxObject
351 A simple class which stores red, green and blue values as 8 bit unsigned integers
352 in the range of 0-255.

467 Name of the file from which to load the image.
469 May be one of the following:
470 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP: Load a Windows bitmap file.
471 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF: Load a GIF bitmap file.
472 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG: Load a JPEG bitmap file.

481 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI: Load a Windows animated cursor file (ANI).
482 @li wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY: Will try to autodetect the format.
484 Index of the image to load in the case that the image file contains
485 multiple images. This is only used by GIF, ICO and TIFF handlers.
486 The default value (-1) means "choose the default image" and is
487 interpreted as the first image (index=0) by the GIF and TIFF handler
488 and as the largest and most colourful one by the ICO handler.
490 @remarks Depending on how wxWidgets has been configured and by which
491 handlers have been loaded, not all formats may be available.
492 Any handler other than BMP must be previously initialized with
493 wxImage::AddHandler or wxInitAllImageHandlers.
496 You can use GetOptionInt() to get the hotspot when loading cursor files:
498 int hotspot_x = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X);
499 int hotspot_y = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y);

730 corresponds to +360 degrees.

735 Returns a scaled version of the image.
737 This is also useful for scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way
738 to scale bitmaps is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.
740 The parameter @a quality determines what method to use for resampling
741 the image, see wxImageResizeQuality documentation.
743 It should be noted that although using @c wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH produces much nicer
744 looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging
745 method which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
746 this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme
747 cases it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a
750 It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
751 when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
752 image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel

784 If @a red = green = blue = -1 then the areas of the larger image not covered
785 by this image are made transparent by filling them with the image mask colour

799 @name Conversion functions
804 If the image has alpha channel, this method converts it to mask.
806 If the image has an alpha channel, all pixels with alpha value less
807 than @a threshold are replaced with the mask colour and the alpha
808 channel is removed. Otherwise nothing is done.
810 The mask colour is chosen automatically using
811 FindFirstUnusedColour() by this function, see the overload below if you
812 this is not appropriate.
814 @return @false if FindFirstUnusedColour returns @false, @true otherwise.
816 bool ConvertAlphaToMask(unsigned char threshold

823 than @a threshold are replaced with the mask colour and the alpha
824 channel is removed. Otherwise nothing is done.
829 The red component of the mask colour.
831 The green component of the mask colour.
833 The blue component of the mask colour.
835 Pixels with alpha channel values below the given threshold are
836 considered to be transparent, i.e. the corresponding mask pixels
837 are set. Pixels with the alpha values above the threshold are
838 considered to be opaque.

847 The returned image uses the luminance component of the original to
848 calculate the greyscale. Defaults to using the standard ITU-T BT.601
849 when converting to YUV, where every pixel equals
850 (R * @a lr) + (G * @a lg) + (B * @a lb).

894 Finds the first colour that is never used in the image.
895 The search begins at given initial colour and continues by increasing
896 R, G and B components (in this order) by 1 until an unused colour is
897 found or the colour space exhausted.
899 The parameters @a r, @a g, @a b are pointers to variables to save the colour.
901 The parameters @a startR, @a startG, @a startB define the initial values
903 The returned colour will have RGB values equal to or greater than these.

935 Returns pointer to the array storing the alpha values for this image.
937 This pointer is @NULL for the images without the alpha channel. If the image
938 does have it, this pointer may be used to directly manipulate the alpha values
939 which are stored as the RGB ones.
941 unsigned char* GetAlpha() const;
944 Returns the image data as an array.
946 This is most often used when doing direct image manipulation.
947 The return value points to an array of characters in RGBRGBRGB... format
948 in the top-to-bottom, left-to-right order, that is the first RGB triplet
949 corresponds to the pixel first pixel of the first row, the second one ---
950 to the second pixel of the first row and so on until the end of the first
951 row, with second row following after it and so on.

1016 Gets a user-defined string-valued option.
1018 Currently the only defined string option is
1019 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_FILENAME: The name of the file from which the image
1023 The name of the option, case-insensitive.
1025 The value of the option or an empty string if not found. Use
1026 HasOption() if an empty string can be a valid option value.
1028 @see SetOption(), GetOptionInt(), HasOption()
1030 wxString
GetOption(const wxString
& name
) const;
1033 Gets a user-defined integer-valued option.
1035 The function is case-insensitive to @a name.
1036 If the given option is not present, the function returns 0.
1037 Use HasOption() is 0 is a possibly valid value for the option.
1040 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_WIDTH and @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_MAX_HEIGHT: If either
1041 of these options is specified, the loaded image will be scaled down
1042 (preserving its aspect ratio) so that its width is less than the
1043 max width given if it is not 0 @em and its height is less than the
1044 max height given if it is not 0. This is typically used for loading
1045 thumbnails and the advantage of using these options compared to
1046 calling Rescale() after loading is that some handlers (only JPEG
1047 one right now) support rescaling the image during loading which is
1048 vastly more efficient than loading the entire huge image and
1049 rescaling it later (if these options are not supported by the
1050 handler, this is still what happens however). These options must be
1051 set before calling LoadFile() to have any effect.
1053 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_QUALITY: JPEG quality used when saving. This is an
1054 integer in 0..100 range with 0 meaning very poor and 100 excellent
1055 (but very badly compressed). This option is currently ignored for
1058 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT: The value of this option determines
1059 whether the resolution of the image is specified in centimetres or
1060 inches, see wxImageResolution enum elements.
1062 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTION, @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONX and
1063 @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONY: These options define the resolution of
1064 the image in the units corresponding to @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_RESOLUTIONUNIT
1065 options value. The first option can be set before saving the image
1066 to set both horizontal and vertical resolution to the same value.
1067 The X and Y options are set by the image handlers if they support
1068 the image resolution (currently BMP, JPEG and TIFF handlers do) and
1069 the image provides the resolution information and can be queried
1070 after loading the image.
1072 Options specific to wxPNGHandler:
1073 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FORMAT: Format for saving a PNG file, see
1074 wxImagePNGType for the supported values.
1075 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_BITDEPTH: Bit depth for every channel (R/G/B/A).
1076 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FILTER: Filter for saving a PNG file, see libpng
1077 (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng-1.2.5-manual.html) for possible values
1078 (e.g. PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB, PNG_FILTER_UP, etc).
1079 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: Compression level (0..9) for
1080 saving a PNG file. An high value creates smaller-but-slower PNG file.
1081 Note that unlike other formats (e.g. JPEG) the PNG format is always
1082 lossless and thus this compression level doesn't tradeoff the image
1084 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_MEM_LEVEL: Compression memory usage
1085 level (1..9) for saving a PNG file. An high value means the saving
1086 process consumes more memory, but may create smaller PNG file.
1087 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_STRATEGY: Possible values are 0 for
1088 default strategy, 1 for filter, and 2 for Huffman-only.
1089 You can use OptiPNG (http://optipng.sourceforge.net/) to get a suitable
1090 value for your application.
1091 @li @c wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_BUFFER_SIZE: Internal buffer size
1092 (in bytes) for saving a PNG file. Ideally this should be as big as
1093 the resulting PNG file. Use this option if your application produces
1094 images with small size variation.
1097 The name of the option, case-insensitive.
1099 The value of the option or 0 if not found.
1100 Use HasOption() if 0 can be a valid option value.

1362 This function is similar to SetData() and has similar restrictions.
1364 The pointer passed to it may however be @NULL in which case the function
1365 will allocate the alpha array internally -- this is useful to add alpha
1366 channel data to an image which doesn't have any.
1368 If the pointer is not @NULL, it must have one byte for each image pixel
1369 and be allocated with malloc().
1370 wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it unless @a static_data
1371 parameter is set to @true -- in this case the caller should do it.
1373 void SetAlpha(unsigned char* alpha
= NULL
,
1374 bool static_data

1377 Sets the alpha value for the given pixel.
1378 This function should only be called if the image has alpha channel data,
1379 use HasAlpha() to check for this.
1381 void SetAlpha(int x

1406 Specifies whether there is a mask or not.
1408 The area of the mask is determined by the current mask colour.
1410 void SetMask(bool hasMask

1413 Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).
1415 void SetMaskColour(unsigned char red
, unsigned char green
,
1416 unsigned char blue
);
1419 Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of mr,mg,mb in
1420 mask will be masked in the image.
1422 This is done by first finding an unused colour in the image, setting
1423 this colour as the mask colour and then using this colour to draw all
1424 pixels in the image who corresponding pixel in mask has given RGB value.
1426 The parameter @a mask is the mask image to extract mask shape from.
1427 It must have the same dimensions as the image.
1429 The parameters @a mr, @a mg, @a mb are the RGB values of the pixels in
1430 mask that will be used to create the mask.
1432 @return Returns @false if mask does not have same dimensions as the image
1433 or if there is no unused colour left. Returns @true if the mask
1434 was successfully applied.

1438 computationally intensive operation.
1440 bool SetMaskFromImage(const wxImage

1445 Sets a user-defined option. The function is case-insensitive to @a name.
1447 For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option @b quality is
1448 used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

1485 called from the user code if the image was created from data in the
1486 given bitmap format without using LoadFile() (which would set the type
1487 correctly automatically).
1489 Notice that the image must be created before this function is called.
1494 One of bitmap type constants, @c wxBITMAP_TYPE_INVALID is a valid
