INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng.

Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
-file format in application programs. The PNG specification is available
-as RFC 2083 <ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/> and as a
-W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.html>. Some
-additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks
-documents at <ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/>. Other information
+file format in application programs.
+
+The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as
+a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2003 (E)) at
+<http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/
+The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.
+
+The PNG-1.2 specification is available at
+<http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>. It is technically equivalent
+to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material.
+
+The PNG-1.0 specification is available
+as RFC 2083 <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/> and as a
+W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.html>.

users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as

The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.

Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
same instance of a structure.

.SH II. Structures
There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
-and png_info. The first, png_struct, is an internal structure that
-will not, for the most part, be used by a user except as the first
-variable passed to every libpng function call.
+and png_info. Both are internal structures that are no longer exposed
+in the libpng interface (as of libpng 1.5.0).
The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the
PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems
with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
-a set of interface functions for png_info was developed. The fields
-of png_info are still available for older applications, but it is
-suggested that applications use the new interfaces if at all possible.
+a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
+functions) was developed, and direct access to the png_info fields was
+deprecated..
+
+The png_struct structure is the object used by the library to decode a
+single image. As of 1.5.0 this structure is also not exposed.
+
+Almost all libpng APIs require a pointer to a png_struct as the first argument.
+Many (in particular the png_set and png_get APIs) also require a pointer
+to png_info as the second argument. Some application visible macros
+defined in png.h designed for basic data access (reading and writing
+integers in the PNG format) don't take a png_info pointer, but it's almost
+always safe to assume that a (png_struct*) has to be passed to call an API
+function.
+
+You can have more than one png_info structure associated with an image,
+as illustrated in pngtest.c, one for information valid prior to the
+IDAT chunks and another (called "end_info" below) for things after them.
The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
#include <png.h>
-.SH III. Reading
+and also (as of libpng-1.5.0) the zlib header file, if you need it:
+
+#include <zlib.h>
+
+.SS Types
+
+The png.h header file defines a number of integral types used by the
+APIs. Most of these are fairly obvious; for example types corresponding
+to integers of particular sizes and types for passing color values.
+
+One exception is how non-integral numbers are handled. For application
+convenience most APIs that take such numbers have C (double) arguments,
+however internally PNG, and libpng, use 32 bit signed integers and encode
+the value by multiplying by 100,000. As of libpng 1.5.0 a convenience
+macro PNG_FP_1 is defined in png.h along with a type (png_fixed_point)
+which is simply (png_int_32).
+
+All APIs that take (double) arguments also have a matching API that
+takes the corresponding fixed point integer arguments. The fixed point
+API has the same name as the floating point one with "_fixed" appended.
+The actual range of values permitted in the APIs is frequently less than
+the full range of (png_fixed_point) (-21474 to +21474). When APIs require
+a non-negative argument the type is recorded as png_uint_32 above. Consult
+the header file and the text below for more information.
+
+Special care must be take with sCAL chunk handling because the chunk itself
+uses non-integral values encoded as strings containing decimal floating point
+numbers. See the comments in the header file.
+
+.SS Configuration
+
+The main header file function declarations are frequently protected by C
+preprocessing directives of the form:
+
+ #ifdef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
+ declare-function
+ #endif
+ ...
+ #ifdef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
+ use-function
+ #endif
+
+The library can be built without support for these APIs, although a
+standard build will have all implemented APIs. Application programs
+should check the feature macros before using an API for maximum
+portability. From libpng 1.5.0 the feature macros set during the build
+of libpng are recorded in the header file "pnglibconf.h" and this file
+is always included by png.h.
+
+If you don't need to change the library configuration from the default, skip to
+the next section ("Reading").
+
+Notice that some of the makefiles in the 'scripts' directory and (in 1.5.0) all
+of the build project files in the 'projects' directory simply copy
+scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to pnglibconf.h. This means that these build
+systems do not permit easy auto-configuration of the library - they only
+support the default configuration.
+
+The easiest way to make minor changes to the libpng configuration when
+auto-configuration is supported is to add definitions to the command line
+using (typically) CPPFLAGS. For example:
+
+CPPFLAGS=-DPNG_NO_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC
+
+will change the internal libpng math implementation for gamma correction and
+other arithmetic calculations to fixed point, avoiding the need for fast
+floating point support. The result can be seen in the generated pnglibconf.h -
+make sure it contains the changed feature macro setting.
+
+If you need to make more extensive configuration changes - more than one or two
+feature macro settings - you can either add -DPNG_USER_CONFIG to the build
+command line and put a list of feature macro settings in pngusr.h or you can set
+DFA_XTRA (a makefile variable) to a file containing the same information in the
+form of 'option' settings.
+
+A. Changing pnglibconf.h
+
+A variety of methods exist to build libpng. Not all of these support
+reconfiguration of pnglibconf.h. To reconfigure pnglibconf.h it must either be
+rebuilt from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa using awk or it must be edited by hand.
+
+Hand editing is achieved by copying scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to
+pnglibconf.h and changing the lines defining the supported features, paying
+very close attention to the 'option' information in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
+that describes those features and their requirements. This is easy to get
+wrong.
+
+B. Configuration using DFA_XTRA
-Reading PNG files:
+Rebuilding from pnglibconf.dfa is easy if a functioning 'awk', or a later
+variant such as 'nawk' or 'gawk', is available. The configure build will
+automatically find an appropriate awk and build pnglibconf.h.
+The scripts/pnglibconf.mak file contains a set of make rules for doing the
+same thing if configure is not used, and many of the makefiles in the scripts
+directory use this approach.
+
+When rebuilding simply write a new file containing changed options and set
+DFA_XTRA to the name of this file. This causes the build to append the new file
+to the end of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. The pngusr.dfa file should contain lines
+of the following forms:
+
+everything = off
+
+This turns all optional features off. Include it at the start of pngusr.dfa to
+make it easier to build a minimal configuration. You will need to turn at least
+some features on afterward to enable either reading or writing code, or both.
+
+option feature on
+option feature off
+
+Enable or disable a single feature. This will automatically enable other
+features required by a feature that is turned on or disable other features that
+require a feature which is turned off. Conflicting settings will cause an error
+message to be emitted by awk.
+
+setting feature default value
+
+Changes the default value of setting 'feature' to 'value'. There are a small
+number of settings listed at the top of pnglibconf.h, they are documented in the
+source code. Most of these values have performance implications for the library
+but most of them have no visible effect on the API. Some can also be overridden
+from the API.
+
+This method of building a customized pnglibconf.h is illustrated in
+contrib/pngminim/*. See the "$(PNGCONF):" target in the makefile and
+pngusr.dfa in these directories.
+
+C. Configuration using PNG_USR_CONFIG
+
+If -DPNG_USR_CONFIG is added to the CFLAGS when pnglibconf.h is built the file
+pngusr.h will automatically be included before the options in
+scripts/pnglibconf.dfa are processed. Your pngusr.h file should contain only
+macro definitions turning features on or off or setting settings.
+
+Apart from the global setting "everything = off" all the options listed above
+can be set using macros in pngusr.h:
+
+#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
+
+is equivalent to:
+
+option feature on
+
+#define PNG_NO_feature
+
+is equivalent to:
+
+option feature off
+
+#define PNG_feature value
+
+is equivalent to:
+
+setting feature default value
+
+Notice that in both cases, pngusr.dfa and pngusr.h, the contents of the
+pngusr file you supply override the contents of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
+
+If confusing or incomprehensible behavior results it is possible to
+examine the intermediate file pnglibconf.dfn to find the full set of
+dependency information for each setting and option. Simply locate the
+feature in the file and read the C comments that precede it.
+
+This method is also illustrated in the contrib/pngminim/* makefiles and
+pngusr.h.
+
+.SH III. Reading
We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
-in a PNG file, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose of each one.

+in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
+of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While
+progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
+need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
+file.
+
+.SS Setup
You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you
will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
-To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file, and it will
-return true or false (1 or 0) depending on whether the bytes could be
-part of a PNG file. Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the
-greater the accuracy of the prediction.
+To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
+png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the
+corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise.
+Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the
+prediction.
If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb");
if (!fp)
{
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
+
fread(header, 1, number, fp);
is_png = !png_sig_cmp(header, 0, number);
+
if (!is_png)
{
- return;
+ return (NOT_PNG);
}
use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section
on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
+The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
+create the structure, so your application should check for that.
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct
- (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
+ (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
+
if (!png_ptr)
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
+
if (!info_ptr)
{
- png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr,
+ png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr,
(png_infopp)NULL, (png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
- }
-
- png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
- if (!end_info)
- {
- png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
- (png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
-define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
+use a libpng that was built with PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED defined, and use
png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
- (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
+ (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
-your png_ptr->jmpbuf. If you read the file from different
-routines, you will need to update the jmpbuf field every time you enter
-a new routine that will call a png_ function.
+your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different
+routines, you will need to update the longjmp buffer every time you enter
+a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
-handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information on
-the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
+information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error
+handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
+on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
free any memory.
- if (setjmp(png_ptr->jmpbuf))
+ if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
{
- png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
+ png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
&end_info);
- fclose(fp);
- return;
+ fclose(fp);
+ return (ERROR);
}
+Pass (png_infopp)NULL instead of &end_info if you didn't create
+an end_info structure.
+
+If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
+you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
+errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
+
+You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
+more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
+return.
+
Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to
use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng
section below.
- png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
+ png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
+
+If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
+the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
+libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
+
+ png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
+
+You can change the zlib compression buffer size to be used while
+reading compressed data with
+
+ png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, buffer_size);
+
+where the default size is 8192 bytes. Note that the buffer size
+is changed immediately and the buffer is reallocated immediately,
+instead of setting a flag to be acted upon later.
+
+If you want CRC errors to be handled in a different manner than
+the default, use
+
+ png_set_crc_action(png_ptr, crit_action, ancil_action);
+
+The values for png_set_crc_action() say how libpng is to handle CRC errors in
+ancillary and critical chunks, and whether to use the data contained
+therein. Note that it is impossible to "discard" data in a critical
+chunk.
+
+Choices for (int) crit_action are
+ PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
+ PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
+ PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
+ PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
+ PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
+
+Choices for (int) ancil_action are
+ PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
+ PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
+ PNG_CRC_WARN_DISCARD 2 warn/discard data
+ PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
+ PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
+ PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
+
+.SS Setting up callback code
+
+You can set up a callback function to handle any unknown chunks in the
+input stream. You must supply the function
+
+ read_chunk_callback(png_structp png_ptr,
+ png_unknown_chunkp chunk);
+ {
+ /* The unknown chunk structure contains your
+ chunk data, along with similar data for any other
+ unknown chunks: */
+
+ png_byte name[5];
+ png_byte *data;
+ png_size_t size;
+
+ /* Note that libpng has already taken care of
+ the CRC handling */
+
+ /* put your code here. Search for your chunk in the
+ unknown chunk structure, process it, and return one
+ of the following: */
+
+ return (-n); /* chunk had an error */
+ return (0); /* did not recognize */
+ return (n); /* success */
+ }
+
+(You can give your function another name that you like instead of
+"read_chunk_callback")
+
+To inform libpng about your function, use
+
+ png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
+ read_chunk_callback);
+
+This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
+you can retrieve with
+
+ png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
+
+If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
+chunks will be saved when read, in case your callback function will need
+one or more of them. This behavior can be changed with the
+png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below.
+
+At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
+called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
+a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
+You must supply a function
+
+ void read_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr,
+ png_uint_32 row, int pass);
+ {
+ /* put your code here */
+ }
+
+(You can give it another name that you like instead of "read_row_callback")
+
+To inform libpng about your function, use
+
+ png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
+
+When this function is called the row has already been completely processed and
+the 'row' and 'pass' refer to the next row to be handled. For the
+non-interlaced case the row that was just handled is simply one less than the
+passed in row number, and pass will always be 0. For the interlaced case the
+same applies unless the row value is 0, in which case the row just handled was
+the last one from one of the preceding passes. Because interlacing may skip a
+pass you cannot be sure that the preceding pass is just 'pass-1', if you really
+need to know what the last pass is record (row,pass) from the callback and use
+the last recorded value each time.
+
+As with the user transform you can find the output row using the
+PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW macro.
+
+.SS Unknown-chunk handling
+
+Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
+input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal
+behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
+various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This
+behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known
+chunk types. To change this, you can call:
+
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,
+ chunk_list, num_chunks);
+ keep - 0: default unknown chunk handling
+ 1: ignore; do not keep
+ 2: keep only if safe-to-copy
+ 3: keep even if unsafe-to-copy
+
+ You can use these definitions:
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT 0
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2
+ PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3
+
+ chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
+ five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
+ num_chunks is 0)
+
+ num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
+ unknown chunks are affected. If nonzero,
+ only the chunks in the list are affected
+
+Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
+list of png_unknown_chunk structures. If a chunk that is normally
+known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
+according to the "keep" directive. If a chunk is named in successive
+instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
+take precedence. The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
+chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
+If you know that your application will never make use of some particular
+chunks, use PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER (or 1) as demonstrated below.
+
+Here is an example of the usage of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(),
+where the private "vpAg" chunk will later be processed by a user chunk
+callback function:
+
+ png_byte vpAg[5]={118, 112, 65, 103, (png_byte) '\0'};
+
+ #if defined(PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED)
+ png_byte unused_chunks[]=
+ {
+ 104, 73, 83, 84, (png_byte) '\0', /* hIST */
+ 105, 84, 88, 116, (png_byte) '\0', /* iTXt */
+ 112, 67, 65, 76, (png_byte) '\0', /* pCAL */
+ 115, 67, 65, 76, (png_byte) '\0', /* sCAL */
+ 115, 80, 76, 84, (png_byte) '\0', /* sPLT */
+ 116, 73, 77, 69, (png_byte) '\0', /* tIME */
+ };
+ #endif
+
+ ...
+
+ #if defined(PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED)
+ /* ignore all unknown chunks: */
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 1, NULL, 0);
+
+ /* except for vpAg: */
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 2, vpAg, 1);
+
+ /* also ignore unused known chunks: */
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 1, unused_chunks,
+ (int)sizeof(unused_chunks)/5);
+ #endif
+
+.SS User limits
+
+The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
+large as 2^31-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
+Since very few applications really need to process such large images,
+we have imposed an arbitrary 1-million limit on rows and columns.
+Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
+you wish to change this limit, you can use
+
+ png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
+
+to set your own limits, or use width_max = height_max = 0x7fffffffL
+to allow all valid dimensions (libpng may reject some very large images
+anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
+
+You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
+before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
+
+When writing a PNG datastream, put this statement before calling
+png_write_info() or png_write_png().
+
+If you need to retrieve the limits that are being applied, use
+
+ width_max = png_get_user_width_max(png_ptr);
+ height_max = png_get_user_height_max(png_ptr);
+
+The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
+allowed in a PNG datastream. You can impose a limit on the total number
+of sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks that will be stored, with
+
+ png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);
+
+where 0x7fffffffL means unlimited. You can retrieve this limit with
+
+ chunk_cache_max = png_get_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr);
+
+This limit also applies to the number of buffers that can be allocated
+by png_decompress_chunk() while decompressing iTXt, zTXt, and iCCP chunks.
+
+You can also set a limit on the amount of memory that a compressed chunk
+other than IDAT can occupy, with
+
+ png_set_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_malloc_max);
+
+and you can retrieve the limit with
+
+ chunk_malloc_max = png_get_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr);
+
+Any chunks that would cause either of these limits to be exceeded will
+be ignored.
+
+.SS Information about your system
+
+If you intend to display the PNG or to incorporate it in other image data you
+need to tell libpng information about your display or drawing surface so that
+libpng can convert the values in the image to match the display.
+
+From libpng-1.5.4 this information can be set before reading the PNG file
+header. In earlier versions png_set_gamma() existed but behaved incorrectly if
+called before the PNG file header had been read and png_set_alpha_mode() did not
+exist.
+
+If you need to support versions prior to libpng-1.5.4 test the version number
+as illustrated below using "PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504" and follow the procedures
+described in the appropriate manual page.
+
+You give libpng the encoding expected by your system expressed as a 'gamma'
+value. You can also specify a default encoding for the PNG file in
+case the required information is missing from the file. By default libpng
+assumes that the PNG data matches your system, to keep this default call:
+
+ png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 1/screen_gamma/*file gamma*/);
+
+or you can use the fixed point equivalent:
+
+ png_set_gamma_fixed(png_ptr, PNG_FP_1*screen_gamma, PNG_FP_1/screen_gamma);
+
+If you don't know the gamma for your system it is probably 2.2 - a good
+approximation to the IEC standard for display systems (sRGB). If images are
+too contrasty or washed out you got the value wrong - check your system
+documentation!
-If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
-the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
-libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
+Many systems permit the system gamma to be changed via a lookup table in the
+display driver, a few systems, including older Macs, change the response by
+default. As of 1.5.4 three special values are available to handle common
+situations:
+
+ PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB: Indicates that the system conforms to the IEC 61966-2-1
+ standard. This matches almost all systems.
+ PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18: Indicates that the system is an older (pre Mac OS 10.6)
+ Apple Macintosh system with the default settings.
+ PNG_GAMMA_LINEAR: Just the fixed point value for 1.0 - indicates that the
+ system expects data with no gamma encoding.
+
+You would use the linear (unencoded) value if you need to process the pixel
+values further because this avoids the need to decode and reencode each
+component value whenever arithmetic is performed. A lot of graphics software
+uses linear values for this reason, often with higher precision component values
+to preserve overall accuracy.
+
+The second thing you may need to tell libpng about is how your system handles
+alpha channel information. Some, but not all, PNG files contain an alpha
+channel. To display these files correctly you need to compose the data onto a
+suitable background, as described in the PNG specification.
+
+Libpng only supports composing onto a single color (using png_set_background;
+see below). Otherwise you must do the composition yourself and, in this case,
+you may need to call png_set_alpha_mode:
+
+#if PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504
+ png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, mode, screen_gamma);
+#else
+ png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 1.0/screen_gamma);
+#endif
+
+The screen_gamma value is the same as the argument to png_set_gamma; however,
+how it affects the output depends on the mode. png_set_alpha_mode() sets the
+file gamma default to 1/screen_gamma, so normally you don't need to call
+png_set_gamma. If you need different defaults call png_set_gamma() before
+png_set_alpha_mode() - if you call it after it will override the settings made
+by png_set_alpha_mode().
+
+The mode is as follows:
+
+ PNG_ALPHA_PNG: The data is encoded according to the PNG specification. Red,
+green and blue, or gray, components are gamma encoded color
+values and are not premultiplied by the alpha value. The
+alpha value is a linear measure of the contribution of the
+pixel to the corresponding final output pixel.
+
+You should normally use this format if you intend to perform
+color correction on the color values; most, maybe all, color
+correction software has no handling for the alpha channel and,
+anyway, the math to handle pre-multiplied component values is
+unnecessarily complex.
+
+Before you do any arithmetic on the component values you need
+to remove the gamma encoding and multiply out the alpha
+channel. See the PNG specification for more detail. It is
+important to note that when an image with an alpha channel is
+scaled, linear encoded, pre-multiplied component values must
+be used!
+
+The remaining modes assume you don't need to do any further color correction or
+that if you do, your color correction software knows all about alpha (it
+probably doesn't!)
+
+ PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD: The data libpng produces
+is encoded in the standard way
+assumed by most correctly written graphics software.
+The gamma encoding will be removed by libpng and the
+linear component values will be pre-multiplied by the
+alpha channel.
+
+With this format the final image must be re-encoded to
+match the display gamma before the image is displayed.
+If your system doesn't do that, yet still seems to
+perform arithmetic on the pixels without decoding them,
+it is broken - check out the modes below.
+
+With PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD libpng always produces linear
+component values, whatever screen_gamma you supply. The
+screen_gamma value is, however, used as a default for
+the file gamma if the PNG file has no gamma information.
+
+If you call png_set_gamma() after png_set_alpha_mode() you
+will override the linear encoding. Instead the
+pre-multiplied pixel values will be gamma encoded but
+the alpha channel will still be linear. This may
+actually match the requirements of some broken software,
+but it is unlikely.
+
+While linear 8-bit data is often used it has
+insufficient precision for any image with a reasonable
+dynamic range. To avoid problems, and if your software
+supports it, use png_set_expand_16() to force all
+components to 16 bits.
+
+ PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED: This mode is the same
+as PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD except that
+completely opaque pixels are gamma encoded according to
+the screen_gamma value. Pixels with alpha less than 1.0
+will still have linear components.
+
+Use this format if you have control over your
+compositing software and do don't do other arithmetic
+(such as scaling) on the data you get from libpng. Your
+compositing software can simply copy opaque pixels to
+the output but still has linear values for the
+non-opaque pixels.
+
+In normal compositing, where the alpha channel encodes
+partial pixel coverage (as opposed to broad area
+translucency), the inaccuracies of the 8-bit
+representation of non-opaque pixels are irrelevant.
+
+You can also try this format if your software is broken;
+it might look better.
+
+ PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN: This is PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD;
+however, all component values,
+including the alpha channel are gamma encoded. This is
+an appropriate format to try if your software, or more
+likely hardware, is totally broken, i.e., if it performs
+linear arithmetic directly on gamma encoded values.
+
+In most cases of broken software or hardware the bug in the final display
+manifests as a subtle halo around composited parts of the image. You may not
+even perceive this as a halo; the composited part of the image may simply appear
+separate from the background, as though it had been cut out of paper and pasted
+on afterward.
+
+If you don't have to deal with bugs in software or hardware, or if you can fix
+them, there are three recommended ways of using png_set_alpha_mode():
+
+ png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_PNG,
+ screen_gamma);
+
+You can do color correction on the result (libpng does not currently
+support color correction internally). When you handle the alpha channel
+you need to undo the gamma encoding and multiply out the alpha.
+
+ png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD,
+ screen_gamma);
+ png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
+
+If you are using the high level interface, don't call png_set_expand_16();
+instead pass PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16 to the interface.
+
+With this mode you can't do color correction, but you can do arithmetic,
+including composition and scaling, on the data without further processing.
+
+ png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED,
+ screen_gamma);
+
+You can avoid the expansion to 16-bit components with this mode, but you
+lose the ability to scale the image or perform other linear arithmetic.
+All you can do is compose the result onto a matching output. Since this
+mode is libpng-specific you also need to write your own composition
+software.
+
+If you don't need, or can't handle, the alpha channel you can call
+png_set_background() to remove it by compositing against a fixed color. Don't
+call png_set_strip_alpha() to do this - it will leave spurious pixel values in
+transparent parts of this image.
+
+ png_set_background(png_ptr, &background_color,
+ PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0, 1);
+
+The background_color is an RGB or grayscale value according to the data format
+libpng will produce for you. Because you don't yet know the format of the PNG
+file, if you call png_set_background at this point you must arrange for the
+format produced by libpng to always have 8-bit or 16-bit components and then
+store the color as an 8-bit or 16-bit color as appropriate. The color contains
+separate gray and RGB component values, so you can let libpng produce gray or
+RGB output according to the input format, but low bit depth grayscale images
+must always be converted to at least 8-bit format. (Even though low bit depth
+grayscale images can't have an alpha channel they can have a transparent
+color!)
+
+You set the transforms you need later, either as flags to the high level
+interface or libpng API calls for the low level interface. For reference the
+settings and API calls required are:
+
+8-bit values:
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 | PNG_EXPAND
+ png_set_expand(png_ptr); png_set_scale_16(png_ptr);
+
+ If you must get exactly the same inaccurate results
+ produced by default in versions prior to libpng-1.5.4,
+ use PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 and png_set_strip_16(png_ptr)
+ instead.
+
+16-bit values:
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16
+ png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
+
+In either case palette image data will be expanded to RGB. If you just want
+color data you can add PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB or png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr)
+to the list.
+
+Calling png_set_background before the PNG file header is read will not work
+prior to libpng-1.5.4. Because the failure may result in unexpected warnings or
+errors it is therefore much safer to call png_set_background after the head has
+been read. Unfortunately this means that prior to libpng-1.5.4 it cannot be
+used with the high level interface.
+
+.SS The high-level read interface
+
+At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
+read interface, or through a sequence of low-level read operations.
+You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read
+the entire image into memory, and (b) the input transformations
+you want to do are limited to the following set:
+
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 Strip 16-bit samples to
+ 8-bit accurately
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 Chop 16-bit samples to
+ 8-bit less accurately
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_ALPHA Discard the alpha channel
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Expand 1, 2 and 4-bit
+ samples to bytes
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
+ pixels to LSB first
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND Perform set_expand()
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
+ sBIT depth
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
+ to BGRA
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
+ to AG
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
+ to transparency
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB Expand grayscale samples
+ to RGB (or GA to RGBA)
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16 Expand samples to 16 bits
+
+(This excludes setting a background color, doing gamma transformation,
+quantizing, and setting filler.) If this is the case, simply do this:
+
+ png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
+
+where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some
+set of transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_read_info(),
+followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
+then png_read_image(), and finally png_read_end().
+
+(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
+to transformation parameters required by some future input transform.)
+
+You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
+when you use png_read_png().
+
+After you have called png_read_png(), you can retrieve the image data
+with
- png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
+ row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
-At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
-called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
-a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
-You must supply a function
+where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
- void read_row_callback(png_ptr, png_uint_32 row, int pass);
- {
- /* put your code here */
- }
+ png_bytep row_pointers[height];
-(You can give it another name that you like instead of "read_row_callback")
+If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
+row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
-To inform libpng about your function, use
+ if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/png_sizeof(png_byte))
+ png_error (png_ptr,
+ "Image is too tall to process in memory");
- png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
+ if (width > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/pixel_size)
+ png_error (png_ptr,
+ "Image is too wide to process in memory");
-In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the level of opacity.
-If you need the alpha channel in an image to be the level of transparency
-instead of opacity, you can invert the alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk
-data) after it's read, so that 0 is fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or
-paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit images) is fully transparent, with
+ row_pointers = png_malloc(png_ptr,
+ height*png_sizeof(png_bytep));
- png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
+ for (int i=0; i<height, i++)
+ row_pointers[i]=NULL; /* security precaution */
-This has to appear here rather than later with the other transformations
-because the tRNS chunk data must be modified in the case of paletted images.
-If your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
-represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't be changed.
+ for (int i=0; i<height, i++)
+ row_pointers[i]=png_malloc(png_ptr,
+ width*pixel_size);
-Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
-the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
-with
+ png_set_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr, &row_pointers);
- png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
- read_transform_fn);
+Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
+row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block.
-You must supply the function
+If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
+row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
- void read_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr
- row_info, png_bytep data)
+If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
+do it, and it'll be free'ed by libpng when you call png_destroy_*().
-See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
-after all of the other transformations have been processed.
+.SS The low-level read interface
-You are now ready to read all the file information up to the actual
-image data. You do this with a call to png_read_info().
+If you are going the low-level route, you are now ready to read all
+the file information up to the actual image data. You do this with a
+call to png_read_info().
png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
-Functions are used to get the information from the info_ptr:
+This will process all chunks up to but not including the image data.
+
+This also copies some of the data from the PNG file into the decode structure
+for use in later transformations. Important information copied in is:
+
+1) The PNG file gamma from the gAMA chunk. This overwrites the default value
+provided by an earlier call to png_set_gamma or png_set_alpha_mode.
+
+2) Prior to libpng-1.5.4 the background color from a bKGd chunk. This
+damages the information provided by an earlier call to png_set_background
+resulting in unexpected behavior. Libpng-1.5.4 no longer does this.
+
+3) The number of significant bits in each component value. Libpng uses this to
+optimize gamma handling by reducing the internal lookup table sizes.
+
+4) The transparent color information from a tRNS chunk. This can be modified by
+a later call to png_set_tRNS.
+
+.SS Querying the info structure
+
+Functions are used to get the information from the info_ptr once it
+has been read. Note that these fields may not be completely filled
+in until png_read_end() has read the chunk data following the image.

+.SS Input transformations
After you've read the header information, you can set up the library
to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
-certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
-checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
-make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
-data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
+certain color types and bit depths.
-The colors used for the background and transparency values should be
-supplied in the same format/depth as the current image data. They
-are stored in the same format/depth as the image data in a bKGD or tRNS
-chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data. The colors are
-transformed to keep in sync with the image data when an application
-calls the png_read_update_info() routine (see below).
+Transformations you request are ignored if they don't have any meaning for a
+particular input data format. However some transformations can have an effect
+as a result of a previous transformation. If you specify a contradictory set of
+transformations, for example both adding and removing the alpha channel, you
+cannot predict the final result.
+
+The color used for the transparency values should be supplied in the same
+format/depth as the current image data. It is stored in the same format/depth
+as the image data in a tRNS chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data.
+
+The color used for the background value depends on the need_expand argument as
+described below.
Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes
unless the library has been told to transform it into another format.
For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned
2 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the
byte, unless png_set_packing() is called. 8-bit RGB data will be stored
-in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() is called to insert filler
-bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet. 16-bit RGB data will
-be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant byte of the color
-value first, unless png_set_strip_16() is called to transform it to
-regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() is called to insert
-filler bytes, either before or after each RRGGBB triplet. Similarly,
-8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can be modified with png_set_filler()
-or png_set_strip_16().
+in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha()

+be modified with png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), png_set_strip_16(),
+or png_set_scale_16().
The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits,
changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is
grayscale images with bit depths of 2 or 4 or if there is a multiple-image
viewing application that wishes to treat all images in the same way.

- if (png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr,

+The first two functions are actually aliases for png_set_expand(), added
+in libpng version 1.0.4, with the function names expanded to improve code
+readability. In some future version they may actually do different
+things.
+
+As of libpng version 1.2.9, png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was
+added. It expands the sample depth without changing tRNS to alpha.
+
+As of libpng version 1.5.2, png_set_expand_16() was added. It behaves as
+png_set_expand(); however, the resultant channels have 16 bits rather than 8.
+Use this when the output color or gray channels are made linear to avoid fairly
+severe accuracy loss.

-The png_set_background() function tells libpng to composite images
-with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied background
-color. If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
-you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
-the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page). You
-need to tell libpng whether the color is in the gamma space of the
-display (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN for colors you supply), the file
-(PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE for colors from the bKGD chunk), or one
-that is neither of these gammas (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_UNIQUE - I don't
-know why anyone would use this, but it's here).
+(The more accurate "png_set_scale_16()" API became available in libpng version
+1.5.4).
-If, for some reason, you don't need the alpha channel on an image,
-and you want to remove it rather than combining it with the background
-(but the image author certainly had in mind that you *would* combine
-it with the background, so that's what you should probably do):
+If you need to process the alpha channel on the image separately from the image
+data (for example if you convert it to a bitmap mask) it is possible to have
+libpng strip the channel leaving just RGB or gray data:
if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
- png_set_strip_alpha(png_ptr);
+ png_set_strip_alpha(png_ptr);
+
+If you strip the alpha channel you need to find some other way of dealing with
+the information. If, instead, you want to convert the image to an opaque
+version with no alpha channel use png_set_background; see below.
+
+As of libpng version 1.5.2, almost all useful expansions are supported, the
+major ommissions are conversion of grayscale to indexed images (which can be
+done trivially in the application) and conversion of indexed to grayscale (which
+can be done by a trivial manipulation of the palette.)
+
+In the following table, the 01 means grayscale with depth<8, 31 means
+indexed with depth<8, other numerals represent the color type, "T" means
+the tRNS chunk is present, A means an alpha channel is present, and O
+means tRNS or alpha is present but all pixels in the image are opaque.

+
+In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image
+is the level of opacity. If you need the alpha channel in an image to
+be the level of transparency instead of opacity, you can invert the
+alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk data) after it's read, so that 0 is
+fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit
+images) is fully transparent, with
+
+ png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit
values of the pixels:
if (bit_depth < 8)
- png_set_packing(png_ptr);
+ png_set_packing(png_ptr);
PNG files have possible bit depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. All pixels
stored in a PNG image have been "scaled" or "shifted" up to the next
-higher possible bit depth (e.g. from 5 bits/sample in the range [0,31] to
-8 bits/sample in the range [0, 255]). However, it is also possible to
-convert the PNG pixel data back to the original bit depth of the image.
-This call reduces the pixels back down to the original bit depth:

- png_set_shift(png_ptr, sig_bit);
+ png_set_shift(png_ptr, sig_bit);
PNG files store 3-color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
changes the storage of the pixels to blue, green, red:
if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
- png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
+ png_set_bgr(png_ptr);

+does not affect images that already have full alpha channels. To add an
+opaque alpha channel, use filler=0xff or 0xffff and PNG_FILLER_AFTER which
+will generate RGBA pixels.
+
+Note that png_set_filler() does not change the color type. If you want
+to do that, you can add a true alpha channel with
+
+ if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
+ color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
+ png_set_add_alpha(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_AFTER);
+
+where "filler" contains the alpha value to assign to each pixel.
+This function was added in libpng-1.2.7.
If you are reading an image with an alpha channel, and you need the
data as ARGB instead of the normal PNG format RGBA:
if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
- png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
+ png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
For some uses, you may want a grayscale image to be represented as
RGB. This code will do that conversion:
if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
- png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
+ png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
Conversely, you can convert an RGB or RGBA image to grayscale or grayscale
-with alpha. This is intended for conversion of images that really are
-gray (red == green == blue), so the function simply strips out the red
-and blue channels, leaving the green channel in the gray position.

If you have set error_action = 1 or 2, you can
later check whether the image really was gray, after processing
the image rows, with the png_get_rgb_to_gray_status(png_ptr) function.
It will return a png_byte that is zero if the image was gray or

-If you have a grayscale and you are using png_set_expand() to change to

-value at the original file bit-depth (need_expand = 1) or else supply the
-background color as an RGB triplet at the final, expanded bit depth
-(need_expand = 0). Similarly, if you are reading a paletted image, you
-must either supply the background color as a palette index (need_expand = 1)
-or as an RGB triplet that may or may not be in the palette (need_expand = 0).
+The png_set_background() function has been described already; it tells libpng to
+composite images with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied
+background color. For compatibility with versions of libpng earlier than
+libpng-1.5.4 it is recommended that you call the function after reading the file
+header, even if you don't want to use the color in a bKGD chunk, if one exists.
+
+If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
+you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
+the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page). You
+need to tell libpng how the color is represented, both the format of the
+component values in the color (the number of bits) and the gamma encoding of the
+color. The function takes two arguments, background_gamma_mode and need_expand
+to convey this information, however only two combinations are likely to be
+useful:
png_color_16 my_background;
png_color_16p image_background;
if (png_get_bKGD(png_ptr, info_ptr, &image_background))
- png_set_background(png_ptr, image_background,
- PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE, 1, 1.0);
+ png_set_background(png_ptr, image_background,
+ PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE, 1/*needs to be expanded*/, 1);
else
- png_set_background(png_ptr, &my_background,
- PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0, 1.0);
-
-To properly display PNG images on any kind of system, the application needs
-to know what the display gamma is. Ideally, the user will know this, and
-the application will allow them to set it. One method of allowing the user
-to set the display gamma separately for each system is to check for the
-DISPLAY_GAMMA and VIEWING_GAMMA environment variables or for a SCREEN_GAMMA
-environment variable, which will hopefully be correctly set.
-
-Note that display_gamma is the gamma of your display, while screen_gamma is
-the overall gamma correction required to produce pleasing results,
-which depends on the lighting conditions in the surrounding environment.
-Screen_gamma is display_gamma/viewing_gamma, where viewing_gamma is
-the amount of additional gamma correction needed to compensate for
-a (viewing_gamma=1.25) environment. In a dim or brightly lit room, no
-compensation other than the display_gamma is needed (viewing_gamma=1.0).
-
- if (/* We have a user-defined screen
- gamma value */)
- {
- screen_gamma = user_defined_screen_gamma;
- }
- /* One way that applications can share the same
- screen gamma value */
- else if ((gamma_str = getenv("SCREEN_GAMMA"))
- != NULL)
- {
- screen_gamma = atof(gamma_str);

- guess for Mac systems */
- }
+ png_set_background(png_ptr, &my_background,
+ PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0/*do not expand*/, 1);
+
+The second call was described above - my_background is in the format of the
+final, display, output produced by libpng. Because you now know the format of
+the PNG it is possible to avoid the need to choose either 8-bit or 16-bit
+output and to retain palette images (the palette colors will be modified
+appropriately and the tRNS chunk removed.) However, if you are doing this,
+take great care not to ask for transformations without checking first that
+they apply!
+
+In the first call the background color has the original bit depth and color type
+of the PNG file. So, for palette images the color is supplied as a palette
+index and for low bit greyscale images the color is a reduced bit value in
+image_background->gray.
+
+If you didn't call png_set_gamma() before reading the file header, for example
+if you need your code to remain compatible with older versions of libpng prior
+to libpng-1.5.4, this is the place to call it.
+
+Do not call it if you called png_set_alpha_mode(); doing so will damage the
+settings put in place by png_set_alpha_mode(). (If png_set_alpha_mode() is
+supported then you can certainly do png_set_gamma() before reading the PNG

+This API unconditionally sets the screen and file gamma values, so it will

The following code will reverse this (make black be one and white be
zero):
- if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_GRAY)
+ if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
+ png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
+
+This function can also be used to invert grayscale and gray-alpha images:
+
+ if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
+ color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
-PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
+PNG files store 16-bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
ie. most significant bits first). This code changes the storage to the
other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits first, the
way PCs store them):
if (bit_depth == 16)
- png_set_swap(png_ptr);
+ png_set_swap(png_ptr);
If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
if (bit_depth < 8)
png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
+Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
+the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
+with
+
+ png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
+ read_transform_fn);
+
+You must supply the function
+
+ void read_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
+ row_info, png_bytep data)
+
+See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
+after all of the other transformations have been processed. Take care with
+interlaced images if you do the interlace yourself - the width of the row is the
+width in 'row_info', not the overall image width.
+
+If supported, libpng provides two information routines that you can use to find
+where you are in processing the image:
+
+ png_get_current_pass_number(png_structp png_ptr);
+ png_get_current_row_number(png_structp png_ptr);
+
+Don't try using these outside a transform callback - firstly they are only
+supported if user transforms are supported, secondly they may well return
+unexpected results unless the row is actually being processed at the moment they
+are called.
+
+With interlaced
+images the value returned is the row in the input sub-image image. Use
+PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(row, pass) and PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(col, pass) to
+find the output pixel (x,y) given an interlaced sub-image pixel (row,col,pass).
+
+The discussion of interlace handling above contains more information on how to
+use these values.
+
+You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
+callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
+function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
+function
+
+ png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
+ user_depth, user_channels);
+
+The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
+freeing any memory required for the user structure.
+
+You can retrieve the pointer via the function
+png_get_user_transform_ptr(). For example:
+
+ voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
+ png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
+
The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
of the interlaced image.
After setting the transformations, libpng can update your png_info
structure to reflect any transformations you've requested with this
-call. This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes

png_read_update_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
+This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes
+field so you can use it to allocate your image memory. This function
+will also update your palette with the correct screen_gamma and
+background if these have been given with the calls above. You may
+only call png_read_update_info() once with a particular info_ptr.
+
After you call png_read_update_info(), you can allocate any
memory you need to hold the image. The row data is simply
raw byte data for all forms of images. As the actual allocation
array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
of the functions below.
+Remember: Before you call png_read_update_info(), the png_get_*()
+functions return the values corresponding to the original PNG image.
+After you call png_read_update_info the values refer to the image
+that libpng will output. Consequently you must call all the png_set_
+functions before you call png_read_update_info(). This is particularly
+important for png_set_interlace_handling() - if you are going to call
+png_read_update_info() you must call png_set_interlace_handling() before
+it unless you want to receive interlaced output.
+
+.SS Reading image data
+
After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you are
allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
and put it in the memory area supplied. You will need to pass in
an array of pointers to each row.
-This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't need
-to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
-times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_read_rows().

+If you want the images filled out, there are two ways to do that. The one
mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover
those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method).
This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually
before the start of the read. The first method usually looks better,
but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows.
-If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
-png_read_rows() seven times to read in all seven images. Each of the
-images is a valid image by itself, or they can all be combined on an
-8x8 grid to form a single image (although if you intend to combine them
-you would be far better off using the libpng interlace handling).
-
-The first pass will return an image 1/8 as wide as the entire image
-(every 8th column starting in column 0) and 1/8 as high as the original
-(every 8th row starting in row 0), the second will be 1/8 as wide
-(starting in column 4) and 1/8 as high (also starting in row 0). The
-third pass will be 1/4 as wide (every 4th pixel starting in column 0) and
-1/8 as high (every 8th row starting in row 4), and the fourth pass will
-be 1/4 as wide and 1/4 as high (every 4th column starting in column 2,
-and every 4th row starting in row 0). The fifth pass will return an
-image 1/2 as wide, and 1/4 as high (starting at column 0 and row 2),
-while the sixth pass will be 1/2 as wide and 1/2 as high as the original
-(starting in column 1 and row 0). The seventh and final pass will be as
-wide as the original, and 1/2 as high, containing all of the odd
-numbered scanlines. Phew!
-
-If you want libpng to expand the images, call this before calling
-png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info():
+If, as is likely, you want libpng to expand the images, call this before

+This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
+but may change if another interlace type is added. This function can be

+You then need to read the whole image 'number_of_passes' times. Each time

+the output image, so you need to supply the same rows to png_read_rows in
+each pass.

pass, and assumes the data from previous passes is still valid.

- number_of_rows);
+ number_of_rows);
If you only want the first effect (the rectangles), do the same as
before except pass the row buffer in the third parameter, and leave
the second parameter NULL.
- png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
- number_of_rows);
+ png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
+ number_of_rows);
+
+If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
+png_read_rows() PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES times to read in all the images.
+Each of the images is a valid image by itself, however you will almost
+certainly need to distribute the pixels from each sub-image to the
+correct place. This is where everything gets very tricky.
+
+If you want to retrieve the separate images you must pass the correct
+number of rows to each successive call of png_read_rows(). The calculation
+gets pretty complicated for small images, where some sub-images may
+not even exist because either their width or height ends up zero.
+libpng provides two macros to help you in 1.5 and later versions:
+
+ png_uint_32 width = PNG_PASS_COLS(image_width, pass_number);
+ png_uint_32 height = PNG_PASS_ROWS(image_height, pass_number);
+
+Respectively these tell you the width and height of the sub-image
+corresponding to the numbered pass. 'pass' is in in the range 0 to 6 -
+this can be confusing because the specification refers to the same passes
+as 1 to 7! Be careful, you must check both the width and height before
+calling png_read_rows() and not call it for that pass if either is zero.
+
+You can, of course, read each sub-image row by row. If you want to
+produce optimal code to make a pixel-by-pixel transformation of an
+interlaced image this is the best approach; read each row of each pass,
+transform it, and write it out to a new interlaced image.
+
+If you want to de-interlace the image yourself libpng provides further
+macros to help that tell you where to place the pixels in the output image.
+Because the interlacing scheme is rectangular - sub-image pixels are always
+arranged on a rectangular grid - all you need to know for each pass is the
+starting column and row in the output image of the first pixel plus the
+spacing between each pixel. As of libpng 1.5 there are four macros to
+retrieve this information:
+
+ png_uint_32 x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
+ png_uint_32 y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
+ png_uint_32 xStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_COL_SHIFT(pass);
+ png_uint_32 yStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_ROW_SHIFT(pass);
+
+These allow you to write the obvious loop:
+
+ png_uint_32 input_y = 0;
+ png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
+
+ while (output_y < output_image_height)
+ {
+ png_uint_32 input_x = 0;
+ png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
+
+ while (output_x < output_image_width)
+ {
+ image[output_y][output_x] =
+ subimage[pass][input_y][input_x++];
+
+ output_x += xStep;
+ }
+
+ ++input_y;
+ output_y += yStep;
+ }
+
+Notice that the steps between successive output rows and columns are
+returned as shifts. This is possible because the pixels in the subimages
+are always a power of 2 apart - 1, 2, 4 or 8 pixels - in the original
+image. In practice you may need to directly calculate the output coordinate
+given an input coordinate. libpng provides two further macros for this
+purpose:
+
+ png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(input_x, pass);
+ png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(input_y, pass);
+
+Finally a pair of macros are provided to tell you if a particular image
+row or column appears in a given pass:
+
+ int col_in_pass = PNG_COL_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_x, pass);
+ int row_in_pass = PNG_ROW_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_y, pass);
+
+Bear in mind that you will probably also need to check the width and height
+of the pass in addition to the above to be sure the pass even exists!
+
+With any luck you are convinced by now that you don't want to do your own
+interlace handling. In reality normally the only good reason for doing this
+is if you are processing PNG files on a pixel-by-pixel basis and don't want
+to load the whole file into memory when it is interlaced.
+
+libpng includes a test program, pngvalid, that illustrates reading and
+writing of interlaced images. If you can't get interlacing to work in your
+code and don't want to leave it to libpng (the recommended approach), see
+how pngvalid.c does it.
+
+.SS Finishing a sequential read
+
+After you are finished reading the image through the
+low-level interface, you can finish reading the file. If you are
+interested in comments or time, which may be stored either before or
+after the image data, you should pass the separate png_info struct if
+you want to keep the comments from before and after the image
+separate.
+
+ png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
+
+ if (!end_info)
+ {
+ png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
+ (png_infopp)NULL);
+ return (ERROR);
+ }
+
+ png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
+
+If you are not interested, you should still call png_read_end()
+but you can pass NULL, avoiding the need to create an end_info structure.
-After you are finished reading the image, you can finish reading
-the file. If you are interested in comments or time, which may be

-can pass NULL.
+ png_read_end(png_ptr, (png_infop)NULL);
- png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
+If you don't call png_read_end(), then your file pointer will be
+left pointing to the first chunk after the last IDAT, which is probably
+not what you want if you expect to read something beyond the end of
+the PNG datastream.
When you are done, you can free all memory allocated by libpng like this:
png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
&end_info);
-For a more compact example of reading a PNG image, see the file example.c.
+or, if you didn't create an end_info structure,
+ png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
+ (png_infopp)NULL);
+
+It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
+point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
+
+ png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
+
+ mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
+ containing the bitwise OR of one or
+ more of
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
+ PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
+ PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
+ PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
+ PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
+ or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
+
+ seq - sequence number of item to be freed
+ (-1 for all items)
+
+This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
+already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
+by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
+The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
+type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
+are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
+sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
+
+The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
+by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
+or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
+
+ png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
+
+ freer - one of
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
+
+ mask - which data elements are affected
+ same choices as in png_free_data()
+
+This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
+You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling
+any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
+function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
+and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
+or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes
+responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
+png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
+for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
+
+If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
+the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
+responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
+because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
+
+If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
+separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
+because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
+the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
+if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
+application, your application must not separately free those members.
+
+The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
+it frees. If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by
+your application instead of by libpng, you can use
+
+ png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);
+
+ mask - identifies the chunks to be made invalid,
+ containing the bitwise OR of one or
+ more of
+ PNG_INFO_gAMA, PNG_INFO_sBIT,
+ PNG_INFO_cHRM, PNG_INFO_PLTE,
+ PNG_INFO_tRNS, PNG_INFO_bKGD,

importance is repeated here, so you won't have to constantly look
back up in the reading section to understand writing.
+.SS Setup
+
You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
custom writing functions. See the discussion under Customizing libpng.
FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "wb");
+
if (!fp)
- {
- return;
- }
+ return (ERROR);
Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.
As these can be both relatively large, you may not want to store these
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct
(PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
+
if (!png_ptr)
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
if (!info_ptr)
{
png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr,
- (png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ (png_infopp)NULL);
+ return (ERROR);
}
If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
-png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
+png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_write_struct():
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct_2
(PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
error handling. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
longjmp() back to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call
-setjmp() and pass the png_ptr->jmpbuf. If you
+setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you
write the file from different routines, you will need to update
-the jmpbuf field every time you enter a new routine that will
-call a png_ function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
+the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
+call a png_*() function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp. See
the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
section below for more information on the libpng error handling.
- if (setjmp(png_ptr->jmpbuf))
+ if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
{
- png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
- fclose(fp);
- return;
+ png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
+ fclose(fp);
+ return (ERROR);
}
...
return;
+If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
+you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
+errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
+
+You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
+more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
+return.
+
Now you need to set up the output code. The default for libpng is to
use the C function fwrite(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
+If you are embedding your PNG into a datastream such as MNG, and don't
+want libpng to write the 8-byte signature, or if you have already
+written the signature in your application, use
+
+ png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, 8);
+
+to inform libpng that it should not write a signature.
+
+.SS Write callbacks
+
At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
You must supply a function
- void write_row_callback(png_ptr, png_uint_32 row, int pass);
+ void write_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 row,
+ int pass);
{
/* put your code here */
}
png_set_write_status_fn(png_ptr, write_row_callback);
+When this function is called the row has already been completely processed and
+it has also been written out. The 'row' and 'pass' refer to the next row to be
+handled. For the
+non-interlaced case the row that was just handled is simply one less than the
+passed in row number, and pass will always be 0. For the interlaced case the
+same applies unless the row value is 0, in which case the row just handled was
+the last one from one of the preceding passes. Because interlacing may skip a
+pass you cannot be sure that the preceding pass is just 'pass-1', if you really
+need to know what the last pass is record (row,pass) from the callback and use
+the last recorded value each time.
+
+As with the user transform you can find the output row using the
+PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW macro.
+
You now have the option of modifying how the compression library will
run. The following functions are mainly for testing, but may be useful
in some cases, like if you need to write PNG files extremely fast and
have no special needs in this area, let the library do what it wants by
not calling this function at all, as it has been tuned to deliver a good
speed/compression ratio. The second parameter to png_set_filter() is
-the filter method, for which the only valid value is '0' (as of the
-October 1996 PNG specification, version 1.0). The third parameter is a
-flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested for each
-scanline. See the Compression Library for details on the specific filter
-types.

+parameter is a flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested
+for each scanline. See the PNG specification for details on the specific
+filter types.

wish to write before the actual image. Note that the only thing you
are allowed to write after the image is the text chunks and the time

+the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with

A quick word about text and num_text. text is an array of png_text
structures. num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
-If you want, you can use max_text to hold the size of the array, but
-libpng ignores it for writing (it does use it for reading). Each
-png_text structure holds a keyword-text value, and a compression type.
+Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
+and a compression type.
+
The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
types of the image data. Currently, the only valid number is zero.
However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
images, which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
-Until text gets around 1000 bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
+Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
+specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
+any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
+
+Until text gets around a few hundred bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
so that it isn't written out again at the end (in case you are calling
-png_write_end() with the same struct.

PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two
-conversion routines are proved, png_convert_from_time_t() for
+conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The
time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of
these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
png_convert_to_rfc1123(png_timep) is provided to convert from PNG
time to an RFC 1123 format string.
-You are now ready to write all the file information up to the actual
-image data. You do this with a call to png_write_info().
+.SS Writing unknown chunks
+
+You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks
+for writing. You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's
+all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the next following
+png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function.
+Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk
+list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG
+specification's ordering rules.
+
+.SS The high-level write interface
+
+At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
+write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
+You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
+in the info structure. All defined output
+transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
+
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Pack 1, 2 and 4-bit samples
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
+ pixels to LSB first
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
+ sBIT depth
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
+ to BGRA
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
+ to AG
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
+ to transparency
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER Strip out filler
+ bytes (deprecated).
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_BEFORE Strip out leading
+ filler bytes
+ PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_AFTER Strip out trailing
+ filler bytes
+
+If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
+png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
+
+ png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
+
+where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
+transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
+followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
+then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
+
+(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
+to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
+
+You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
+when you use png_write_png().
+
+.SS The low-level write interface
+
+If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
+write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do
+this with a call to png_write_info().
+
+ png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
+
+Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
+png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
+level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency,
+you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is
+fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535
+(in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
+
+ png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
+This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
+other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
+chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If
+your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
+represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
+be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
+png_write_info() call.
+
+If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
+the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
+two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
+
+ png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
+ png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells
-the library to expand the input data to 4 or 8 bytes per pixel
-(or expand 1 or 2-byte grayscale data to 2 or 4 bytes per pixel).
+the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down

they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.

+before any of the other transformations are processed. If supported
+libpng also supplies an information routine that may be called from
+your callback:
+
+ png_get_current_row_number(png_ptr);
+ png_get_current_pass_number(png_ptr);
+
+This returns the current row passed to the transform. With interlaced
+images the value returned is the row in the input sub-image image. Use
+PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(row, pass) and PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(col, pass) to
+find the output pixel (x,y) given an interlaced sub-image pixel (row,col,pass).
+
+The discussion of interlace handling above contains more information on how to
+use these values.
+
+You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
+callback function.
+
+ png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
+
+The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
+when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
+
+You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
+For example:
+
+ voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
+ png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To
only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
that do not use flushing.

+
That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data.
-The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If have the
+The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the
whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
-row_pointers:
+a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
png_bytep row_pointer = row;
- png_write_row(png_ptr, &row_pointer);
+ png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
-When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more
-complicated. The only currently (as of February 1998 -- PNG Specification
-version 1.0, dated October 1996) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files
-is the "Adam7" interlace scheme, that breaks down an
-image into seven smaller images of varying size. libpng will build

+(png_set_interlace_handling() returns the number of sub-images.)
If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start
writing any rows:
- number_of_passes =
- png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
+ number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);

+This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,

- png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,

+ png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, number_of_rows);
-As some of these rows are not used, and thus return immediately,
-you may want to read about interlacing in the PNG specification,
-and only update the rows that are actually used.
+Think carefully before you write an interlaced image. Typically code that
+reads such images reads all the image data into memory, uncompressed, before
+doing any processing. Only code that can display an image on the fly can
+take advantage of the interlacing and even then the image has to be exactly
+the correct size for the output device, because scaling an image requires
+adjacent pixels and these are not available until all the passes have been
+read.
+
+If you do write an interlaced image you will hardly ever need to handle
+the interlacing yourself. Call png_set_interlace_handling() and use the
+approach described above.
+
+The only time it is conceivable that you will really need to write an
+interlaced image pass-by-pass is when you have read one pass by pass and
+made some pixel-by-pixel transformation to it, as described in the read
+code above. In this case use the PNG_PASS_ROWS and PNG_PASS_COLS macros
+to determine the size of each sub-image in turn and simply write the rows
+you obtained from the read code.
+
+.SS Finishing a sequential write
After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
-You must free any data you allocated for info_ptr, such as comments,
-palette, or histogram, before the call to png_destroy_write_struct();
-
+It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
+point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
+
+ png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
+
+ mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
+ containing the bitwise OR of one or
+ more of
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
+ PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
+ PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
+ PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
+ PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
+ or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
+
+ seq - sequence number of item to be freed
+ (-1 for all items)
+
+This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
+already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
+by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
+The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
+type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
+are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
+sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
+
+If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng
+with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
+png_destroy_write_struct().
+
+The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
+by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
+or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
+
+ png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
+
+ freer - one of
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
+
+ mask - which data elements are affected
+ same choices as in png_free_data()
+
+For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
+to a write structure, you could use
+
+ png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
+ PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
+
+ png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
+ PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
+
+thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
+immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
+function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
+structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
+structure.
+
+This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
+You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
+to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
+When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
+application must use
+png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
+for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
+or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
+
+If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
+separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
+because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
+the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
+if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
+application, your application must not separately free those members.

.SH V. Modifying/Customizing libpng:
There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does
standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
+Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
+determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
+to provide the user with a means of changing them.
+
+Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
-goes through callbacks that are user settable. The default routines are
-in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c respectively. To change
-these functions, call the appropriate png_set_???_fn() function.
-
-Memory allocation is done through the functions png_large_malloc(),
-png_malloc(), png_realloc(), png_large_free(), and png_free(). These
-currently just call the standard C functions. The large functions must
-handle exactly 64K, but they don't have to handle more than that. If
-your pointers can't access more then 64K at a time, you will want to set
-MAXSEG_64K in zlib.h. Since it is unlikely that the method of handling
-memory allocation on a platform will change between applications, these
-functions must be modified in the library at compile time.

+these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
+
+Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(),
+and png_free(). These currently just call the standard C functions.
+png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then clears the newly
+allocated memory to zero. There is limited support for certain systems
+with segmented memory architectures and the types of pointers declared by
+png.h match this; you will have to use appropriate pointers in your
+application. Since it is
+unlikely that the method of handling memory allocation on a platform
+will change between applications, these functions must be modified in
+the library at compile time. If you prefer to use a different method
+of allocating and freeing data, you can use png_create_read_struct_2() or
+png_create_write_struct_2() to register your own functions as described
+above. These functions also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved
+via
+
+ mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
+
+Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:
+
+ png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
+ png_alloc_size_t size);
+
+ void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
+
+Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc()
+function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
+system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
+
+Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
+png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
-The replacement I/O functions should have prototypes as follows:
+The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:
void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr,

void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr,
- png_bytep data, png_uint_32 length);
+ png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
+
void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr);
+The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and
+handling end-of-data errors.
+
Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
-to using the default C stream functions. It is an error to read from
-a write stream, and vice versa.

+to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both
+of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined.
+It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa.
Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via
-setjmp() and longjmp(), but you could change this to do things like
-exit() if you should wish. On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
+setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
+PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
+but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish,
+as long as your function does not return.
+
+On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
-fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_STDIO defined. If
-you wish to change the behavior of the error functions, you will need to
-set up your own message callbacks. These functions are normally supplied
-at the time that the png_struct is created. It is also possible to change
-these functions after png_create_???_struct() has been called by calling:
+fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined
+(because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because
+fprintf() isn't available). If you wish to change the behavior of the error
+functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks. These
+functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created.
+It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement
+functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling:
png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn,
void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
png_const_charp error_msg);
+
void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
png_const_charp warning_msg);
catch exception handling methods. This makes the code much easier to write,
as there is no need to check every return code of every function call.
However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables
-after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything after
-setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself. Consult your compiler
-documentation for more details.

-sections of libpng that read and write chunks. Try to find a chunk that

+
+.SS Custom chunks
+
+If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper
+into the libpng code. The library now has mechanisms for storing
+and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks
+for custom chunks. However, this may not be good enough if the
+library code itself needs to know about interactions between your
+chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks.
+
+If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG
+specification. Acquire a first level of understanding of how it works.
+Pay particular attention to the sections that describe chunk names,
+and look at how other chunks were designed, so you can do things
+similarly. Second, check out the sections of libpng that read and
+write chunks. Try to find a chunk that is similar to yours and use
+it as a template. More details can be found in the comments inside
+the code. It is best to handle private or unknown chunks in a generic method,
+via callback functions, instead of by modifying libpng functions. This
+is illustrated in pngtest.c, which uses a callback function to handle a
+private "vpAg" chunk and the new "sTER" chunk, which are both unknown to
+libpng.
If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through
the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of
transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it. More details
can be found in the comments inside the code itself.

files larger than just storing the raw bitmap. You can specify the
compression level by calling:

png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library.
The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are
short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K).
+Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among

-.SH VI. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
+.SH VI. MNG support
+
+The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
+certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
+Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the
+png_permit_mng_features() function:
+
+ feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
+
+ mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
+ features you want to enable. These include
+ PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
+ PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
+ PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
+
+ feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
+ your mask with the set of MNG features that is
+ supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
+
+It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
+PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped
+in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
+and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these
+or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
+them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
+http://www.libmng.com) instead.
+
+.SH VII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),
-png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destory() have been
-moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. The
-preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
+png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been
+moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. These
+functions will be removed from libpng version 1.4.0.
+
+The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and
png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures
from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the
because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions
to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero. It is still possible
to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with
-png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a
-new name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use
-the old method.

+
+Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library
+you are using at run-time:
+
+ png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number();
+
+The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor
+version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero,
+(e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007).
+
+Note that this function does not take a png_ptr, so you can call it
+before you've created one.
+
+You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your
+application:
+
+ png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER;
+
+.SH VIII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x to 1.2.x
+
+Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To
+accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(),
+png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(),
+png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added.
+
+Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of
+version 1.2.41.
+
+Support for certain MNG features was enabled.
+
+Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got
+around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
+png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this
+function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE
+builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36).
+
+The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues
+a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to
+acquire the requested memory allocation.
+
+Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled
+by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(),
+and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6.
+
+The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7.
+
+The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9.
+Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the
+tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is
+deprecated.
+
+A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of
+assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were
+added at libpng-1.2.0:
+
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG
+ PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH
+ PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED
+ PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS
+ PNG_MMX_FLAGS
+ PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS
+ PNG_MMX_FLAGS
+
+We added the following functions in support of runtime
+selection of assembler code features:
+
+ png_get_mmx_flagmask()
+ png_set_mmx_thresholds()
+ png_get_asm_flags()
+ png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold()
+ png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold()
+ png_set_asm_flags()
+
+We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,
+when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue.
+
+These macros are deprecated:
+
+ PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
+ PNG_PROGRESSIVE_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED
+ PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ_SUPPORTED
+ PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
+ PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
+ PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
+
+They have been replaced, respectively, by:
+
+ PNG_NO_READ_TRANSFORMS
+ PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ
+ PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ
+ PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS
+ PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
+ PNG_NO_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
+
+PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been
+deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6.
+
+The function
+ png_check_sig(sig, num)
+was replaced with
+ !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num)
+It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
+
+The function
+ png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
+which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
+ png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
+which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9.
+
+.SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
+
+Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
+png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
+
+Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
+png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
+
+Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
+will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
+The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
+were added to the library.
+
+We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
+and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
+
+We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
+input transforms.
+
+Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
+
+Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
+
+Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
+
+Typecasted NULL definitions such as
+ #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
+were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
+NULL instead.
+
+The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
+changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
+
+The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
+were removed.
+
+The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
+
+The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
+
+Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
+
+The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
+png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
+have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
+
+The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
+since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
+
+We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
+png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
+png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
+png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
+
+We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
+png_memset_check() functions. Instead use !png_sig_cmp(), memcpy(),
+and memset(), respectively.
+
+The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
+deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
+png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
+expanded any tRNS chunk to an alpha channel.
+
+Macros for png_get_uint_16, png_get_uint_32, and png_get_int_32
+were added and are used by default instead of the corresponding
+functions. Unfortunately,
+from libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
+function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
+
+We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
+ png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
+to
+ png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
+
+This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
+
+The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
+of "png_malloc(); memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
+where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
+after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
+behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
+the process.
+
+We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
+png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with png_size_t instead of
+png_uint_32.
+
+Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
+never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
+png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
+
+The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
+The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
+allocates.
+
+Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
+it has not been well tested and doesn't actually "dither".
+The code was not
+removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
+PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
+was reenabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
+reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
+the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
+PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS, and PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED
+was renamed to PNG_READ_QUANTIZE_SUPPORTED.
+
+We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.
+
+.SH X. Changes to Libpng from version 1.4.x to 1.5.x
+
+From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
+function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
+
+A. Changes that affect users of libpng
+
+There are no substantial API changes between the non-deprecated parts of
+the 1.4.5 API and the 1.5.0 API, however the ability to directly access
+the main libpng control structures, png_struct and png_info, deprecated
+in earlier versions of libpng, has been completely removed from
+libpng 1.5.
+
+We no longer include zlib.h in png.h. Applications that need access
+to information in zlib.h will need to add the '#include "zlib.h"'
+directive. It does not matter whether it is placed prior to or after
+the '"#include png.h"' directive.
+
+We moved the png_strcpy(), png_strncpy(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(),
+png_memcmp(), png_sprintf, and png_memcpy() macros into a private
+header file (pngpriv.h) that is not accessible to applications.
+
+In png_get_iCCP, the type of "profile" was changed from png_charpp
+to png_bytepp, and in png_set_iCCP, from png_charp to png_const_bytep.
+
+There are changes of form in png.h, including new and changed macros to
+declare parts of the API. Some API functions with arguments that are
+pointers to data not modified within the function have been corrected to
+declare these arguments with PNG_CONST.
+
+Much of the internal use of C macros to control the library build has also
+changed and some of this is visible in the exported header files, in
+particular the use of macros to control data and API elements visible
+during application compilation may require significant revision to
+application code. (It is extremely rare for an application to do this.)
+
+Any program that compiled against libpng 1.4 and did not use deprecated
+features or access internal library structures should compile and work
+against libpng 1.5, except for the change in the prototype for
+png_get_iCCP() and png_set_iCCP() API functions mentioned above.
+
+libpng 1.5.0 adds PNG_ PASS macros to help in the reading and writing of
+interlaced images. The macros return the number of rows and columns in
+each pass and information that can be used to de-interlace and (if
+absolutely necessary) interlace an image.
+
+libpng 1.5.0 adds an API png_longjmp(png_ptr, value). This API calls
+the application-provided png_longjmp_ptr on the internal, but application
+initialized, longjmp buffer. It is provided as a convenience to avoid
+the need to use the png_jmpbuf macro, which had the unnecessary side
+effect of resetting the internal png_longjmp_ptr value.
+
+libpng 1.5.0 includes a complete fixed point API. By default this is
+present along with the corresponding floating point API. In general the
+fixed point API is faster and smaller than the floating point one because
+the PNG file format used fixed point, not floating point. This applies
+even if the library uses floating point in internal calculations. A new
+macro, PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED, reveals whether the library
+uses floating point arithmetic (the default) or fixed point arithmetic
+internally for performance critical calculations such as gamma correction.
+In some cases, the gamma calculations may produce slightly different
+results. This has changed the results in png_rgb_to_gray and in alpha
+composition (png_set_background for example). This applies even if the
+original image was already linear (gamma == 1.0) and, therefore, it is
+not necessary to linearize the image. This is because libpng has *not*
+been changed to optimize that case correctly, yet.
+
+Fixed point support for the sCAL chunk comes with an important caveat;
+the sCAL specification uses a decimal encoding of floating point values
+and the accuracy of PNG fixed point values is insufficient for
+representation of these values. Consequently a "string" API
+(png_get_sCAL_s and png_set_sCAL_s) is the only reliable way of reading
+arbitrary sCAL chunks in the absence of either the floating point API or
+internal floating point calculations.
+
+Applications no longer need to include the optional distribution header
+file pngusr.h or define the corresponding macros during application
+build in order to see the correct variant of the libpng API. From 1.5.0
+application code can check for the corresponding _SUPPORTED macro:
+
+#ifdef PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
+ /* code that uses the inch conversion APIs. */
+#endif
+
+This macro will only be defined if the inch conversion functions have been
+compiled into libpng. The full set of macros, and whether or not support
+has been compiled in, are available in the header file pnglibconf.h.
+This header file is specific to the libpng build. Notice that prior to
+1.5.0 the _SUPPORTED macros would always have the default definition unless
+reset by pngusr.h or by explicit settings on the compiler command line.
+These settings may produce compiler warnings or errors in 1.5.0 because
+of macro redefinition.
+
+From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
+function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32. libpng 1.5.0
+is consistent with the implementation in 1.4.5 and 1.2.x (where the macro
+did not exist.)
+
+Applications can now choose whether to use these macros or to call the
+corresponding function by defining PNG_USE_READ_MACROS or
+PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS before including png.h. Notice that this is
+only supported from 1.5.0 -defining PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS prior to 1.5.0
+will lead to a link failure.
+
+Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the zlib compressor used the same set of parameters
+when compressing the IDAT data and textual data such as zTXt and iCCP.
+In libpng-1.5.4 we reinitialized the zlib stream for each type of data.
+We added five png_set_text_*() functions for setting the parameters to
+use with textual data.
+
+Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE_SUPPORTED
+option was off by default, and slightly inaccurate scaling occurred.
+This option can no longer be turned off, and the choice of accurate
+or inaccurate 16-to-8 scaling is by using the new png_set_scale_16_to_8()
+API for accurate scaling or the old png_set_strip_16_to_8() API for simple
+chopping.
+
+Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the png_set_user_limits() function could only be
+used to reduce the width and height limits from the value of
+PNG_USER_WIDTH_MAX and PNG_USER_HEIGHT_MAX, although this document said
+that it could be used to override them. Now this function will reduce or
+increase the limits.
+
+B. Changes to the build and configuration of libpng
+
+Details of internal changes to the library code can be found in the CHANGES
+file and in the GIT repository logs. These will be of no concern to the vast
+majority of library users or builders, however the few who configure libpng
+to a non-default feature set may need to change how this is done.
+
+There should be no need for library builders to alter build scripts if
+these use the distributed build support - configure or the makefiles -
+however users of the makefiles may care to update their build scripts
+to build pnglibconf.h where the corresponding makefile does not do so.
+
+Building libpng with a non-default configuration has changed completely.
+The old method using pngusr.h should still work correctly even though the
+way pngusr.h is used in the build has been changed; however, library
+builders will probably want to examine the changes to take advantage of
+new capabilities and to simplify their build system.
+
+B.1 Specific changes to library configuration capabilities
+
+The library now supports a complete fixed point implementation and can
+thus be used on systems that have no floating point support or very
+limited or slow support. Previously gamma correction, an essential part
+of complete PNG support, required reasonably fast floating point.
+
+As part of this the choice of internal implementation has been made
+independent of the choice of fixed versus floating point APIs and all the
+missing fixed point APIs have been implemented.
+
+The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
+changed. A single set of operating system independent macro definitions
+is used and operating system specific directives are defined in
+pnglibconf.h
+
+As part of this the mechanism used to choose procedure call standards on
+those systems that allow a choice has been changed. At present this only
+affects certain Microsoft (DOS, Windows) and IBM (OS/2) operating systems
+running on Intel processors. As before, PNGAPI is defined where required
+to control the exported API functions; however, two new macros, PNGCBAPI
+and PNGCAPI, are used instead for callback functions (PNGCBAPI) and
+(PNGCAPI) for functions that must match a C library prototype (currently
+only png_longjmp_ptr, which must match the C longjmp function.) The new
+approach is documented in pngconf.h
+
+Despite these changes, libpng 1.5.0 only supports the native C function
+calling standard on those platforms tested so far (__cdecl on Microsoft
+Windows). This is because the support requirements for alternative
+calling conventions seem to no longer exist. Developers who find it
+necessary to set PNG_API_RULE to 1 should advise the mailing list
+(png-mng-implement) of this and library builders who use Openwatcom and
+therefore set PNG_API_RULE to 2 should also contact the mailing list.
+
+A new test program, pngvalid, is provided in addition to pngtest.
+pngvalid validates the arithmetic accuracy of the gamma correction
+calculations and includes a number of validations of the file format.
+A subset of the full range of tests is run when "make check" is done
+(in the 'configure' build.) pngvalid also allows total allocated memory
+usage to be evaluated and performs additional memory overwrite validation.
+
+Many changes to individual feature macros have been made. The following
+are the changes most likely to be noticed by library builders who
+configure libpng:
+
+1) All feature macros now have consistent naming:
+
+#define PNG_NO_feature turns the feature off
+#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED turns the feature on
+
+pnglibconf.h contains one line for each feature macro which is either:
+
+#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
+
+if the feature is supported or:
+
+/*#undef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED*/
+
+if it is not. Library code consistently checks for the 'SUPPORTED' macro.
+It does not, and libpng applications should not, check for the 'NO' macro
+which will not normally be defined even if the feature is not supported.
+The 'NO' macros are only used internally for setting or not setting the
+corresponding 'SUPPORTED' macros.
+
+Compatibility with the old names is provided as follows:
+
+PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS turns on PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
+
+And the following definitions disable the corresponding feature:
+
+PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED disables SETJMP
+PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_TRANSFORMS
+PNG_NO_READ_COMPOSITED_NODIV disables READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV
+PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_TRANSFORMS
+PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
+PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
+
+Library builders should remove use of the above, inconsistent, names.
+
+2) Warning and error message formatting was previously conditional on
+the STDIO feature. The library has been changed to use the
+CONSOLE_IO feature instead. This means that if CONSOLE_IO is disabled
+the library no longer uses the printf(3) functions, even though the
+default read/write implementations use (FILE) style stdio.h functions.
+
+3) Three feature macros now control the fixed/floating point decisions:
+
+PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the floating point APIs
+
+PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the fixed point APIs; however, in
+practice these are normally required internally anyway (because the PNG
+file format is fixed point), therefore in most cases PNG_NO_FIXED_POINT
+merely stops the function from being exported.
+
+PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED chooses between the internal floating
+point implementation or the fixed point one. Typically the fixed point
+implementation is larger and slower than the floating point implementation
+on a system that supports floating point, however it may be faster on a
+system which lacks floating point hardware and therefore uses a software
+emulation.
+
+4) Added PNG_{READ,WRITE}_INT_FUNCTIONS_SUPPORTED. This allows the
+functions to read and write ints to be disabled independently of
+PNG_USE_READ_MACROS, which allows libpng to be built with the functions
+even though the default is to use the macros - this allows applications
+to choose at app buildtime whether or not to use macros (previously
+impossible because the functions weren't in the default build.)
+
+B.2 Changes to the configuration mechanism
+
+Prior to libpng-1.5.0 library builders who needed to configure libpng
+had either to modify the exported pngconf.h header file to add system
+specific configuration or had to write feature selection macros into
+pngusr.h and cause this to be included into pngconf.h by defining
+PNG_USER_CONFIG. The latter mechanism had the disadvantage that an
+application built without PNG_USER_CONFIG defined would see the
+unmodified, default, libpng API and thus would probably fail to link.
+
+These mechanisms still work in the configure build and in any makefile
+build that builds pnglibconf.h, although the feature selection macros
+have changed somewhat as described above. In 1.5.0, however, pngusr.h is
+processed only once, when the exported header file pnglibconf.h is built.
+pngconf.h no longer includes pngusr.h, therefore pngusr.h is ignored after the
+build of pnglibconf.h and it is never included in an application build.
+
+The rarely used alternative of adding a list of feature macros to the
+CFLAGS setting in the build also still works, however the macros will be
+copied to pnglibconf.h and this may produce macro redefinition warnings
+when the individual C files are compiled.
+
+All configuration now only works if pnglibconf.h is built from
+scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This requires the program awk. Brian Kernighan
+(the original author of awk) maintains C source code of that awk and this
+and all known later implementations (often called by subtly different
+names - nawk and gawk for example) are adequate to build pnglibconf.h.
+The Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) program 'awk' is an earlier version
+and does not work; this may also apply to other systems that have a
+functioning awk called 'nawk'.
+
+Configuration options are now documented in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This
+file also includes dependency information that ensures a configuration is
+consistent; that is, if a feature is switched off dependent features are
+also removed. As a recommended alternative to using feature macros in
+pngusr.h a system builder may also define equivalent options in pngusr.dfa
+(or, indeed, any file) and add that to the configuration by setting
+DFA_XTRA to the file name. The makefiles in contrib/pngminim illustrate
+how to do this, and a case where pngusr.h is still required.
+
+.SH XI. Detecting libpng
+
+The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never
+changed, and is unaffected by conditional compilation macros. It is the
+best choice for use in configure scripts for detecting the presence of any
+libpng version since 0.88. In an autoconf "configure.in" you could use
+
+ AC_CHECK_LIB(png, png_get_io_ptr, ...
+
+.SH XII. Source code repository
+
+Since about February 2009, version 1.2.34, libpng has been under "git" source
+control. The git repository was built from old libpng-x.y.z.tar.gz files
+going back to version 0.70. You can access the git repository (read only)
+at
+
+ git://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libpng
+
+or you can browse it via "gitweb" at
+
+ http://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libpng
+
+Patches can be sent to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net or to
+png-mng-implement at lists.sourceforge.net or you can upload them to
+the libpng bug tracker at
+
+ http://libpng.sourceforge.net
+
+We also accept patches built from the tar or zip distributions, and
+simple verbal discriptions of bug fixes, reported either to the
+SourceForge bug tracker, to the png-mng-implement at lists.sf.net
+mailing list, or directly to glennrp.
+
+.SH XIII. Coding style
+
+Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style, with curly
+braces on separate lines:
+
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ action;
+ }
+
+ else if (another condition)
+ {
+ another action;
+ }
+
+The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
+
+ if (condition)
+ return (0);
+
+We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
+are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
+plus four more spaces.
+
+For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
+in the first column.
+
+ #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
+ # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
+ # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
+ # endif
+ #endif
+
+Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
+the statement that follows the comment:
+
+ /* Single-line comment */
+ statement;
+
+ /* This is a multiple-line
+ * comment.
+ */
+ statement;
+
+Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
+to which they pertain:
+
+ statement; /* comment */
+
+We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
+used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
+code.
+
+Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
+exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:
+
+ /* This is a public function that is visible to
+ * application programmers. It does thus-and-so.
+ */
+ void PNGAPI
+ png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
+ {
+ body;
+ }
+
+The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h,
+above the comment that says
+
+ /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */
+
+We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"":
+
+ void /* PRIVATE */
+ png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
+ {
+ body;
+ }
+
+The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in
+pngtest) appear in
+pngpriv.h
+above the comment that says
+
+ /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ and in libpngpf.3 */
+
+To avoid polluting the global namespace, the names of all exported
+functions and variables begin with "png_", and all publicly visible C
+preprocessor macros begin with "PNG_". We request that applications that
+use libpng *not* begin any of their own symbols with either of these strings.
+
+We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon
+in "for" statements, and we put spaces before and after each
+C binary operator and after "for" or "while", and before
+"?". We don't put a space between a typecast and the expression
+being cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the
+left parenthesis that follows it:
+
+ for (i = 2; i > 0; --i)
+ y[i] = a(x) + (int)b;
+
+We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and if !defined()
+when there is only one macro being tested.
+
+We prefer to express integers that are used as bit masks in hex format,
+with an even number of lower-case hex digits (e.g., 0x00, 0xff, 0x0100).
+
+We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources.
+
+Lines do not exceed 80 characters.

+
+December 15, 2011
Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
an official declaration.

Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that
will hold years up to 65535. The other two hold the date in text
There are seven time-related functions:
- png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
+ png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c

libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()

-"year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function, but this

+Henceforth the source version will match the shared-library minor
+and patch numbers; the shared-library major version number will be
+used for changes in backward compatibility, as it is intended. The
+PNG_PNGLIB_VER macro, which is not used within libpng but is available
+for applications, is an unsigned integer of the form xyyzz corresponding
+to the source version x.y.z (leading zeros in y and z). Beta versions
+were given the previous public release number plus a letter, until
+version 1.0.6j; from then on they were given the upcoming public
+release number plus "betaNN" or "rcN".
