- revisit gio test prog and try to make a nice binding
- look at libpeas for plugin support
http://live.gnome.org/Libpeas
- foreign docs come up as "VipsForeignSave", annoying, why?
- we can no longer have round brackets in filenames, argh
- add something to parse option sets backwards, so only trailing {}()[] are
seen
- test rad read/write with real images (add to nip2 checks?)
- test matio load with real images (add to nip2 checks?)
- magickload is broken
$ vips magickload healthygirl.jpg x.v
VipsRegion: inappropriate region type
VipsRegion: inappropriate region type
VipsImage: file has been truncated
seems to be a magick bug: ping jpg reports 1 band, load jpg reports 3 band
posted a question, wait for reply
- how about
vips max add[babe.jpg,babe2.jpg]
does that make any sense?
vips copy add[babe.jpg,add[babe2.jpg,babe3.jpg]] sum.v
- see vips_image_cache(): it currently writes to @out allocated by its caller
should this be called vips_image_write_cache()? or wrapped in the style
of vips_copy()?
- make an argb coding type, add to nip2 and known coding
- nip2 should use zooming support, if possible
- transform_g_string_array_image() can't handle quoted strings, so filenames
with spaces will break
is there an easy fix? can we reuse code from the csv parser?
the csv parser just parses FILE* streams, we'd need to break it out
- test docs
gtk-doc can't introspect to generate class docs since it has no way to init
the classes ... investigate
- try an area operation, like conv, VipsArea? oops no haha what name should we
use?
- test _O_TEMPORARY thing on Windows
- avg/dev etc. should uncode images? eg. labq2lab etc.
how about ifthenelse?
- bandalike: consider RGB + RGBA ... we should bandup by adding a black band
(or white?? unclear)
not clear if this is a good idea ... eg. when we upband a 1 band to a 2
band, should we duplicate the 1 band or add black?
- note member free stuff in vipsobject docs
should boxed get freed in finalise rather than dispose?
vipsobject has few docs atm :(
- we have this is many places:
if( vips_image_copy_fieldsv( conversion->output,
insert->main, insert->sub, NULL ) )
return( -1 );
vips_demand_hint( conversion->output,
VIPS_DEMAND_STYLE_THINSTRIP, insert->main, insert->sub, NULL );
why not combine these into a single API call?
use array version in several places
things like black and min (sources and sinks) only set the dhint
- vips_object_set_argument_from_string() needs more arg types
must be some way to make this more automatic
- add nifti support
http://niftilib.sourceforge.net/
- add vips_init_argv() which processes argc/argv for you? handy for tiny
progs, perhaps
just saves 5 lines of code, don't bother
- generate the code for vips_add() etc. automatically? it might be
nice to have them all in one place at least
- all the old dispatch wrappers could move to deprecated
- support planar tiff
- vips operation print could show operation flags as well, cf. "vips
im_subtract"
haha, we don't have any flags like that on operation ... NOCACHE looks
useful, should we add that? any others?
maybe wait until we have to
- revisit orc conv
use an 8.8 accumulator ... build the scale into the 8.8 coeffs ... no div at
the end, just a shift
need 8 x 8.8 -> 8.8 for each coeff though
- make a vips8 binding for Python as well
use ctypes and not swig so we get an easy Win version
wrap new API for C++
- Magick:
- do we bundle "convert" in the OS X / win32 builds? if we don't we
should
- need vips_image_invalidate_area()
- add matlab write
- need a way to make the vips.1 etc. man pages
gtk has things like docs/reference/gtk/gtk-update-icon-cache.xml and man
pages are made from that with xslt
- get rid of a lot of the command-line programs, who wants to write a man page
for batch_image_convert etc yuk
- can we make man pages for the API as well? probably not from googling a bit
- use g_mmap() or whatever it's called ... or perhaps they don't have all
these options
- use |_O_TEMPORARY to open()'s mode on Windows for tmpfiles to increase the
chances we actually delete
see http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg05730.html
- lab [100,0,0] -> srgb [255, 255, 254]? how odd
- im_conv()/im_morph() could have more than 10 programs? try 20 and see if we
still have a speedup
make a base class for vector area operations with a matrix with three vfuncs
for init / generate code for one element / end and a gslist of programs, use
that as the base for morph and conv
wait for vipsobject for this
- perspective transform with a matrix ... base it on the Lenz transformer, but
partial
- maybe im_draw_smudge() is too slow :-( also, we had a sanity failure with
it, argh
make a region, prepare to that, copy back over the image?
- use D65 in cmsCreateLab4Profile() ? not sure
- im_divide() can /0 for complex
- test

ie. vimagemodule.so can't find libvipsCC.so I guess? or perhaps the compiler

- convert_saveable for other writers: tiff, ppm, csv, rad etc.
- expose more of the tone funcs in nip2
- quite a few hist operations have no GUI ... lhisteq, for example? or
histspec?
- rename header, edvips as vipsheader, vipsedit
maybe have back compat links?
- should im_rwcheck() copy to disc?
maybe im_rwcheck_disc() copies to im->filename and maps that
rather awkward to do atm with the way check.c is structured
- what does G_UNLIKELY() do? can we use it?
- rename vipsCC in SWIG as pyvips?
- look into G_GNUC_DEPRECATED for back compat in vips8
- can we use conv_sep to speed up the memuse benchmarks?
- check mosaic1, global_balance, similarity etc. use of im__affine
how can we move them to im_affinei ?
- doc strings would be nice, read the SWIG notes on this
- bilateral filtering, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilateral_filter
http://www.shellandslate.com/fastmedian.html
http://people.csail.mit.edu/sparis/bf_course/
also a mail from Martin Breidt has links to several fast free C
implementations
- need a section for vipsobject in the tutorial
also a manpage?
not really stable yet :( don't document
- we shouldn't need to call im_invalidate() in gtkdisp4 :( how can we fix
this?
- we should wrap the format API, also im_render*(), see gtkdisp.cc for sample
code
- need an im_init_world() for C++ which does cmd-line args too, so C++ progs
can get --vips-progress and stuff automatically
- unsharp should work on GREY16? should be easy to add GREY16->LABS
no, labs is signed short, ranges are all differrent, and the scaling will be
wrong anyway
correct: import with ICC to labs, then process, then export to RGB, take
green?
yuk, can we add a 16bit path to vips's lab <--> rgb converter?
use TIFF RGB16 as the 16bit RGB target
im_XYZ2disp() would be easy to 16bit ... just need the 1,500 element table
table->t_Yr2r[i] expanded
im_disp2XYZ() uses im_col_rgb2XYZ() in a loop ... again, need
the 1,500 element table table->t_r2Yr[i] expanded
usually these three tables (t_r2Yr, t_g2Yg, t_b2Yb) will be identical, can
we common them up? same for t_Yr2r etc.
how big should the table be for 16 bits? 256 times larger? too big!
we really just need a LUT for pow() with the right exponent, eg. 2.4 for
sRGBs, and one for 1/2.4 ... see what calcul_tables does:
table->t_r2Yr[i] = yo + a * pow( i * table->ristep / f + c, ga );
see
- test maxpos_avg, quite a few changes
- HAVE_HYPOT could define a hypot() macro?
- im_exr2vips can now use c++ api
see TODO notes in openexr read (though they all need more openexr C API)
consider openexr write
- python startup fails with plugins in vipslib:
Fatal Python error: can't initialise module vips
plugin: unable to open plugin "/home/john/vips/lib/resample.plg"
plugin: /home/john/vips/lib/resample.plg: undefined symbol: im_start_one
do we need to build plugins with -rpath etc. and more libs?
or do we need to make sure our python modules export all their im_ symbols?
check:
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/SWIGDocumentation.html#Python_nn8
http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
result = vips_call ("name", args)
then call that from VImage_method
- do we really need VImage_method? Can't we write
__getattr__ (self, name) = lambda (obj_to_call, arguments):
or something like that?
- TIFF load/save should use meta system for unknown tags
- balance should use new meta stuff
- magick2vips should spot ICC profiles and attach them as meta
- also png2vips?
- magick should set some header field for n_frames and frame_height? see also
analyze
- im_csv2vips() could use "-" for filename to mean stdin
but then we'd have to read to a malloced buffer of some sort rather than an
image, since we might need to grow it during the read, since we couldn't
then seek
- add erode/dilate 3x3 special case using a 512-bit LUT
... nope, actually slower :-( we end up doing an inner loop like
for( i = 0; i < 9; i++ )
bits |= (p[o[i]] != 0) << i;
which is horrible. Maybe if we had a one band true 1 bit image it'd be
quicker since we could get bits out in parallel and wouldn't have to worry
about converting non-zero to 1
could have a Coding type for bitpack? eg. relational produces a bitpack
image by default, boolean & morph can work on bitpack etc
maybe something for vips8 ... we could have a flag on operations for the
coding types they can accept, and if they are passed other type, they are
automatically converted
- non-linear sharpen: replace each pixel by the lightest or darkest neighbour
depending on which is closer in value
- can wrap other inplace funcs which use ink now we have vector_to_ink() in
inplace_dispatch.c
see also comments in nip2 TODO ... we could auto-wrap in vips_call.c
cleaner!
