Image

Usage

use Image;

or

import Image;

Warning

Image is unstable

Provides a way to write arrays of pixels to an output image format.

For example, the following code creates a 3x3 array of pixels and writes it to a BMP file. The array is then scaled by a factor of 2 (creating a 9x9 image) and written to a second BMP file.

use Image;

var color: [1..3, 1..3] 3*int;

colors[1, ..] = [(0xFF,0,0), (0,0xFF,0), (0,0,0xFF)];
colors[2, ..] = [(0,0xFF,0), (0,0,0xFF), (0xFF,0,0)];
colors[3, ..] = [(0,0,0xFF), (0xFF,0,0), (0,0xFF,0)];

var format = (rgbColor.blue, rgbColor.green, rgbColor.red);
var arr = colorToPixel(color, format=format);

writeImage("pixels.bmp", imageType.bmp, arr);
writeImage("pixels2.bmp", imageType.bmp, scale(arr, 2));
enum imageType { bmp, png, jpg }

Defines what kind of image to output

enum constant bmp

A BMP image is written from a 2D array of pixels

enum constant png

a PNG image is written from a 2D array of pixels

enum constant jpg

a JPG image is written from a 2D array of pixels

proc writeImage(image, format: imageType, pixels: [] pixelType) throws  where pixels.isRectangular() && pixels.rank == 2

Write an array of pixels as an image

Arguments:

  • image – the output filename or an open fileWriter

  • format – the image format

  • pixels – an array of pixel values

proc readImage(image, format: imageType) : [] pixelType throws

Read an image file into an array of pixels

Arguments:

  • image – the input filename or an open fileReader

  • format – the image format

Returns:

an array of pixel values

proc colorToPixel(colors: [?d] (3*(pixelType)), format: 3*(rgbColor) = (rgbColor.red, rgbColor.green, rgbColor.blue)) : [d] pixelType  where d.isRectangular() && d.rank == 2

Takes a 2D array of color values and turns them into pixels. The order of the colors is determined by the format formal. The default format is (red, green, blue).

Arguments:

  • colors – the 2D array of colors

  • format – the order of the colors in the array. it must be a permutation of (red, green, blue)

Returns:

a new array of pixels with the same domain as colors

proc pixelToColor(pixels: [?d] pixelType, format: 3*(rgbColor) = (rgbColor.red, rgbColor.green, rgbColor.blue)) : [d] (3*(pixelType))  where d.isRectangular() && d.rank == 2

Takes a 2D array of pixels and turns them into color values. The order of the colors is determined by the format formal. The default format is (red, green, blue).

Arguments:

  • pixels – the 2D array of pixels

  • format – the order of the colors in the array. it must be a permutation of (red, green, blue)

Returns:

a new array of colors with the same domain as pixels

proc downSample(arr: [?d], newMin: int = 0, newMax: int = 0xFFFFFF) : [d] int  where d.isRectangular() && d.rank == 2

Takes a 2D array of some element type and computes an integer color gradient between the newMin/Max. This is a simple interpolation of the values in the array to the new range.

Arguments:

  • arr – the 2D array of values to sample

  • newMin – the new minimum value

  • newMax – the new maximum value

Returns:

a new array of pixels with the same domain as arr

proc interpolateColor(arr: [?d], colorA: pixelType, colorB: pixelType, colorRange = interpolateColorDefaultColorRange(arr)) : [d] pixelType

Linearly interpolates between two colors to create an array of pixels.

proc scale(arr: [?d], factor: int) : []  where d.isRectangular() && d.rank == 2

Scale a 2D array of pixels by a given factor

Arguments:

  • arr – the 2D array of pixels

  • factor – the factor to scale by

Returns:

a new array of pixels scaled by the factor

record mediaPipe

Represents a ffmpeg stream that frame data can be written to to produce a mp4.

proc init(image: string, imgType: imageType, framerate: int = 30, rateFactor: int = 1) throws
proc ref deinit()
proc writeFrame(pixelData: [] pixelType) throws

Write a frame into the media pipe.

proc ref finish() throws
