will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng.
+For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c",
+and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in the
+libpng distribution.

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
+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.

Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as
majority of the needs of its users.
Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
+Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
+be found at the zlib home page, <http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/>.
The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
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
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. 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.
+
+Applications that do make direct access to the members of png_struct (except
+for png_ptr->jmpbuf) must be recompiled whenever the library is updated,
+and applications that make direct access to the members of png_info must
+be recompiled if they were compiled or loaded with libpng version 1.0.6,
+in which the members were in a different order. In version 1.0.7, the
+members of the png_info structure reverted to the old order, as they were
+in versions 0.97c through 1.0.5. Starting with version 2.0.0, both
+structures are going to be hidden, and the contents of the structures will
+only be accessible through the png_get/png_set functions.
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:
.SH III. Reading
-Reading PNG files:
-
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.
-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.
+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 if the bytes match the corresponding
+bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero 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_check_sig(header, 0, number);
+ 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, (void *)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_infopp)NULL, (png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
{
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
+png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
-The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct() are only
-necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error handling
-functions. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
-to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass the
-jmpbuf field of your png_struct. If you read the file from different
+ png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
+ (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);
+
+The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
+and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
+are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
+handling and memory alloc/free functions.
+
+When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
+to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
+your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). 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.
+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,
&end_info);
fclose(fp);
- return;
+ return (ERROR);
}
+If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
+you can compile libpng with PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case
+errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
+
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
png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
+.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_ptr ptr,
+ png_unknown_chunkp chunk);
+ {
+ /* The unknown chunk structure contains your
+ chunk data: */
+ 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. 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);
+
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_ptr, png_uint_32 row, int pass);
+ void read_row_callback(png_ptr ptr, png_uint_32 row,
+ int pass);
{
/* put your code here */
}
png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
-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
+.SS Width and height 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 override 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().
+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);
+
+.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; unknown chunks will be discarded. To change
+this, you can call:
+
+ png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,
+ chunk_list, num_chunks);
+ keep - 0: do not handle as unknown
+ 1: 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.
+
+.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_STRIP_16 Strip 16-bit samples to
+ 8 bits
+ 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
+
+(This excludes setting a background color, doing gamma transformation,
+dithering, 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_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
+ row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
-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.
+where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
-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_bytep row_pointers[height];
- png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
- read_transform_fn);
+If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
+row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
-You must supply the function
+ if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/png_sizeof(png_byte))
+ png_error (png_ptr,
+ "Image is too tall to process in memory");
+ if (width > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/pixel_size)
+ png_error (png_ptr,
+ "Image is too wide to process in memory");
+ row_pointers = png_malloc(png_ptr,
+ height*png_sizeof(png_bytep));
+ for (int i=0; i<height, i++)
+ row_pointers[i]=png_malloc(png_ptr,
+ width*pixel_size);
+ png_set_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr, &row_pointers);
- void read_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr
- row_info, png_bytep data)
+Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
+row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block.
-See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
-after all of the other transformations have been processed.
+If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
+row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
+
+If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
+do it, and it'll be free'ed when you call png_destroy_*().
-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().
+.SS The low-level read interface
+
+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.
+
+.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.

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.

+At the same time, png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was deprecated, and it
+will be removed from a future version.
PNG can have files with 16 bits per channel. If you only can handle
8 bits per channel, this will strip the pixels down to 8 bit.

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).

+with
+
+ png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
+ read_transform_fn);
+
+You must supply the function
+
+ void read_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr
+ 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.
+
+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,

+
+The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and

but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
of the interlaced image.
array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
of the functions below.
+.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
where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
If you are doing this just 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_pointers = row;
- png_read_row(png_ptr, &row_pointers, NULL);
+ png_bytep row_pointer = row;
+ png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);

is a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that

-can pass NULL.
+.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

png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,

-For a more compact example of reading a PNG image, see the file example.c.
+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)
+ mask - which data elements are affected
+ same choices as in png_free_data()
+ freer - one of
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_USER_WILL_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,

.SH IV. Writing
Much of this is very similar to reading. However, everything of
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.
"read_ptr" and "write_ptr". Look at pngtest.c, for example.
png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct
- (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (void *)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_write_struct(&png_ptr,
(png_infopp)NULL);
- return;
+ 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_write_struct():
+
+ png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct_2
+ (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);
+
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 jmpbuf field of your png_struct. 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.

+ {
+ 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_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case
+errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
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
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_ptr, png_uint_32 row,
+ int pass);

/* put your code here */
}

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

+You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
+as demonstrated in pngtest.c. Within each of the "locations",
+the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
+structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
+the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
+png_set_unknown_chunks).
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
+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.
+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 1000 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,
is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
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,
created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate
machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
-tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. 22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
+tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the
"Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
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.
+
+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
to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
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.
-PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 bytes. This code tells
-the library to expect input data with 4 bytes per pixel
+PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells

+bytes per pixel).
png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);

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 files.
PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. If your

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
+complicated. The only currently (as of the PNG Specification
+version 1.2, dated July 1999) 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
these images for you, or you can do them yourself. If you want to
you may want to read about interlacing in the PNG specification,
and only update the rows that are actually used.
+.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
pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer. If you are not interested,
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)
+ mask - which data elements are affected
+ same choices as in png_free_data()
+ freer - one of
+ PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
+ PNG_USER_WILL_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 which 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

+
+Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc()
+and png_free(). These currently just call the standard C functions. 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.
+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_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().
Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
png_get_io_ptr(). For example:
- png_set_read_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
- voidp io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
+ png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
+ voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
- png_set_write_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
- voidp io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
+ png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
+ voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
- voidp io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(png_ptr);
+ 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,
- png_bytep data, png_uint_32 length);
+ png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
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);
Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
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_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
+but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish.
+
+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,
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

+.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.

+ 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

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(),

+This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
+upward through 1.2.20 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
+versions were also Y2K compliant.
+
+Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that

+
+All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
+png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
+clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
+the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using
+libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
+function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
+instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
+but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
+stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
+documented as such.
+
+The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
+integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
+
+zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
+no date-related code.

.SH NOTE
The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was
the first widely used release:
- source png.h png.h shared-lib
- version string int version
- ------- ------ ------ ----------
- 0.89c 0.89 89 1.0.89
- 0.90 0.90 90 0.90 [should be 2.0.90]
- 0.95 0.95 95 0.95 [should be 2.0.95]
- 0.96 0.96 96 0.96 [should be 2.0.96]
- 0.97b 1.00.97 97 1.0.1 [should be 2.0.97]

- 1.0.1 1.0.1 10001 2.1.0
-
-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).
