Member Function Documentation

virtual const csImageIOFileFormatDescriptions& iImageIO::GetDescription (  )  [pure virtual]

Propagate the image fileformats handled by this plugin.

virtual csPtr<iImage> iImageIO::Load ( iDataBuffer buf,
int  iFormat 
) [pure virtual]

Load an image from a buffer.

This routine will read from the buffer buf , try to recognize the type of image contained within, and return an csImageFile of the appropriate type. Returns a pointer to the iImage on success, or 0 on failure. The bits that fit the CS_IMGFMT_MASK mask are mandatory: the image always will be loaded in the appropiate format; the bits outside that mask (i.e. CS_IMGFMT_ALPHA) are optional: if the image does not contain alpha mask, the GetFormat() method of the image will return a value without that bit set.

virtual csPtr<iDataBuffer> iImageIO::Save ( iImage image,
const char *  mime = 0,
const char *  extraoptions = 0 
) [pure virtual]

Save an image using format MIME.

If omitted format selection is left to the plugin.

virtual csPtr<iDataBuffer> iImageIO::Save ( iImage image,
FileFormatDescription format,
const char *  extraoptions = 0 
) [pure virtual]

Save an image using a prefered format.

extraoptions allows to specify additional output options. Those options consist of a comma-separated list and can be either 'option' or 'option=value'. The available options vary from plugin to plugin, some common ones are:

compress=# - Set image compression, from 0..100. Higher values give smaller files, but at the expense of quality(e.g. JPEG) or speed(e.g. PNG).
progressive - Progressive/interlaced encoding.

Examples:
compress=50
progressive,compress=30

virtual void iImageIO::SetDithering ( bool  iEnable  )  [pure virtual]

Set global image dithering option.

By default this option is disabled. If you enable it, all images will be dithered both after loading and after mipmapping/scaling. This will affect all truecolor->paletted image conversions.
