.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions register and unregister image formats, and search the table of
|
|
available image formats to find one suitable for loading or saving a file.
|
|
|
|
.B im_format_register(3)
|
|
registers an image format with vips. This might typically be called during
|
|
module load, see the documentation for GModule.
|
|
|
|
An image format has a number of
|
|
components:
|
|
|
|
.B name
|
|
The internal name by which the format should be known. For example, the
|
|
OpenEXR image format is known within vips as "exr".
|
|
|
|
.B name_user
|
|
The name as it should be displayed to the user. It can be internationalised.
|
|
For example, in English, the OpenEXR format is shown as "OpenEXR".
|
|
|
|
.B suffs
|
|
A NULL-terminated array of possible file-name suffixes for this format. This
|
|
list is used to filter filenames when they are shown to the user, and to help
|
|
select a format to sav a file as. For example, the JPEG format has the
|
|
suffixes:
|
|
.B { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".jpe", NULL }
|
|
|
|
.B is_a
|
|
A function which tests whether a file is of the specified format. This is
|
|
useful if you can guess a file type from the first few bytes in the file. If
|
|
you leave this function NULL, vips will guess from the filename suffix for
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
.B header
|
|
Load only the image header, not any of the image pixels. vips will call this
|
|
first on
|
|
.B im_open(3)
|
|
and delay loading pixels until asked. If you leave this NULL, vips will just
|
|
use the
|
|
.B load
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
.B load
|
|
Load the image from the file into the IMAGE. You can leave this function NULL
|
|
if you only have a
|
|
.B save
|
|
method implemented.
|
|
|
|
.B save
|
|
Write from the IMAGE to the file in this format. You can leave this function
|
|
NULL if you only have a lload method implemented.
|
|
|
|
.B flags
|
|
A function which examines the file and sets various flags to indicated
|
|
properties of the image. The only flag implemented at the moment is
|
|
.B IM_FORMAT_FLAG_PARTIAL
|
|
which may be set to indicate that the file can be read lazily.
|
|
|
|
vips registers the format and returns a pointer to the
|
|
.B im_format_t
|
|
it created. This may later be used to unregister the format.
|
|
|
|
.B im_format_set_priority(3)
|
|
sets a priority for the format. Priorities for formats default to zero: you
|
|
mmay set a lower or higher number to set where in the format table your format
|
|
is positioned.
|
|
|
|
.B im_format_unregister(3)
|
|
removes a format from vips. It mmight typically be called during module
|
|
unload, see the documentation for GModule.
|
|
|
|
.B im_format_map(3)
|
|
maps a function over the list of loaded formats. See
|
|
.B im_slist_map(3).
|
|
|
|
.B im_format_for_file(3)
|
|
looks at a file on disc and selects the 'best' formmat to use to load that
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
.B im_format_for_name(3)
|
|
looks at a filename and picks a format to use to save that file based on the
|
|
file extension.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
The functions return 0 success and -1 on error.
