570 .SH I. Introduction
571
572 This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library
573 (known as libpng) for your own use. In addition to this
574 file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as
575 it is heavily commented and should include everything most people
576 will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
577 INSTALL file for instructions on how to configure and install libpng.
578
579 For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c",
580 and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in
581 the libpng distribution.
582
583 Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
584 of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
585 file format in application programs.
586
587 The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as
588 a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2004 (E)) at
589 <https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/>.
590 The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.
591
592 The PNG-1.2 specification is available at
593 <https://png-mng.sourceforge.io/pub/png/spec/1.2/>.
594 It is technically equivalent
595 to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material.
596
597 The PNG-1.0 specification is available as RFC 2083 at
598 <https://png-mng.sourceforge.io/pub/png/spec/1.0/> and as a
599 W3C Recommendation at <https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-png-961001>.
600
601 Some additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks
602 documents at <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/register/>
603
604 Other information
605 about PNG, and the latest version of libpng, can be found at the PNG home
606 page, <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>.
607
608 Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
609 users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as
610 complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand.
611 Currently, this library only supports C. Support for other languages
612 is being considered.
613
614 Libpng has been designed to handle multiple sessions at one time,
615 to be easily modifiable, to be portable to the vast majority of
616 machines (ANSI, K&R, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) available, and to be easy
617 to use. The ultimate goal of libpng is to promote the acceptance of
618 the PNG file format in whatever way possible. While there is still
619 work to be done (see the TODO file), libpng should cover the
620 majority of the needs of its users.
621
622 Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
623 Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
624 be found at the zlib home page, <https://zlib.net/>.
625 The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
626 useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
627 See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
628 You can usually find the source files for the zlib utility wherever you
629 find the libpng source files.
630
631 Libpng is thread safe, provided the threads are using different
632 instances of the structures. Each thread should have its own
633 png_struct and png_info instances, and thus its own image.
634 Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
635 same instance of a structure.
636
637 .SH II. Structures
638
639 There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
640 and png_info. Both are internal structures that are no longer exposed
641 in the libpng interface (as of libpng 1.5.0).
642
643 The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the
644 PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
645 directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems
646 with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
647 a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
648 functions) was developed, and direct access to the png_info fields was
649 deprecated..
650
651 The png_struct structure is the object used by the library to decode a
652 single image. As of 1.5.0 this structure is also not exposed.
653
654 Almost all libpng APIs require a pointer to a png_struct as the first argument.
655 Many (in particular the png_set and png_get APIs) also require a pointer
656 to png_info as the second argument. Some application visible macros
657 defined in png.h designed for basic data access (reading and writing
658 integers in the PNG format) don't take a png_info pointer, but it's almost
659 always safe to assume that a (png_struct*) has to be passed to call an API
660 function.
661
662 You can have more than one png_info structure associated with an image,
663 as illustrated in pngtest.c, one for information valid prior to the
664 IDAT chunks and another (called "end_info" below) for things after them.
665
666 The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
667 And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
668
669 #include <png.h>
670
671 and also (as of libpng-1.5.0) the zlib header file, if you need it:
672
673 #include <zlib.h>
674
675 .SS Types
676
677 The png.h header file defines a number of integral types used by the
678 APIs. Most of these are fairly obvious; for example types corresponding
679 to integers of particular sizes and types for passing color values.
680
681 One exception is how non-integral numbers are handled. For application
682 convenience most APIs that take such numbers have C (double) arguments;
683 however, internally PNG, and libpng, use 32 bit signed integers and encode
684 the value by multiplying by 100,000. As of libpng 1.5.0 a convenience
685 macro PNG_FP_1 is defined in png.h along with a type (png_fixed_point)
686 which is simply (png_int_32).
687
688 All APIs that take (double) arguments also have a matching API that
689 takes the corresponding fixed point integer arguments. The fixed point
690 API has the same name as the floating point one with "_fixed" appended.
691 The actual range of values permitted in the APIs is frequently less than
692 the full range of (png_fixed_point) (\-21474 to +21474). When APIs require
693 a non-negative argument the type is recorded as png_uint_32 above. Consult
694 the header file and the text below for more information.
695
696 Special care must be take with sCAL chunk handling because the chunk itself
697 uses non-integral values encoded as strings containing decimal floating point
698 numbers. See the comments in the header file.
699
700 .SS Configuration
701
702 The main header file function declarations are frequently protected by C
703 preprocessing directives of the form:
704
705 #ifdef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
706 declare-function
707 #endif
708 ...
709 #ifdef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
710 use-function
711 #endif
712
713 The library can be built without support for these APIs, although a
714 standard build will have all implemented APIs. Application programs
715 should check the feature macros before using an API for maximum
716 portability. From libpng 1.5.0 the feature macros set during the build
717 of libpng are recorded in the header file "pnglibconf.h" and this file
718 is always included by png.h.
719
720 If you don't need to change the library configuration from the default, skip to
721 the next section ("Reading").
722
723 Notice that some of the makefiles in the 'scripts' directory and (in 1.5.0) all
724 of the build project files in the 'projects' directory simply copy
725 scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to pnglibconf.h. This means that these build
726 systems do not permit easy auto-configuration of the library - they only
727 support the default configuration.
728
729 The easiest way to make minor changes to the libpng configuration when
730 auto-configuration is supported is to add definitions to the command line
731 using (typically) CPPFLAGS. For example:
732
733 CPPFLAGS=\-DPNG_NO_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC
734
735 will change the internal libpng math implementation for gamma correction and
736 other arithmetic calculations to fixed point, avoiding the need for fast
737 floating point support. The result can be seen in the generated pnglibconf.h -
738 make sure it contains the changed feature macro setting.
739
740 If you need to make more extensive configuration changes - more than one or two
741 feature macro settings - you can either add \-DPNG_USER_CONFIG to the build
742 command line and put a list of feature macro settings in pngusr.h or you can set
743 DFA_XTRA (a makefile variable) to a file containing the same information in the
744 form of 'option' settings.
745
746 A. Changing pnglibconf.h
747
748 A variety of methods exist to build libpng. Not all of these support
749 reconfiguration of pnglibconf.h. To reconfigure pnglibconf.h it must either be
750 rebuilt from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa using awk or it must be edited by hand.
751
752 Hand editing is achieved by copying scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to
753 pnglibconf.h and changing the lines defining the supported features, paying
754 very close attention to the 'option' information in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
755 that describes those features and their requirements. This is easy to get
756 wrong.
757
758 B. Configuration using DFA_XTRA
759
760 Rebuilding from pnglibconf.dfa is easy if a functioning 'awk', or a later
761 variant such as 'nawk' or 'gawk', is available. The configure build will
762 automatically find an appropriate awk and build pnglibconf.h.
763 The scripts/pnglibconf.mak file contains a set of make rules for doing the
764 same thing if configure is not used, and many of the makefiles in the scripts
765 directory use this approach.
766
767 When rebuilding simply write a new file containing changed options and set
768 DFA_XTRA to the name of this file. This causes the build to append the new file
769 to the end of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. The pngusr.dfa file should contain lines
770 of the following forms:
771
772 everything = off
773
774 This turns all optional features off. Include it at the start of pngusr.dfa to
775 make it easier to build a minimal configuration. You will need to turn at least
776 some features on afterward to enable either reading or writing code, or both.
777
778 option feature on
779 option feature off
780
781 Enable or disable a single feature. This will automatically enable other
782 features required by a feature that is turned on or disable other features that
783 require a feature which is turned off. Conflicting settings will cause an error
784 message to be emitted by awk.
785
786 setting feature default value
787
788 Changes the default value of setting 'feature' to 'value'. There are a small
789 number of settings listed at the top of pnglibconf.h, they are documented in the
790 source code. Most of these values have performance implications for the library
791 but most of them have no visible effect on the API. Some can also be overridden
792 from the API.
793
794 This method of building a customized pnglibconf.h is illustrated in
795 contrib/pngminim/*. See the "$(PNGCONF):" target in the makefile and
796 pngusr.dfa in these directories.
797
798 C. Configuration using PNG_USER_CONFIG
799
800 If \-DPNG_USER_CONFIG is added to the CPPFLAGS when pnglibconf.h is built,
801 the file pngusr.h will automatically be included before the options in
802 scripts/pnglibconf.dfa are processed. Your pngusr.h file should contain only
803 macro definitions turning features on or off or setting settings.
804
805 Apart from the global setting "everything = off" all the options listed above
806 can be set using macros in pngusr.h:
807
808 #define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
809
810 is equivalent to:
811
812 option feature on
813
814 #define PNG_NO_feature
815
816 is equivalent to:
817
818 option feature off
819
820 #define PNG_feature value
821
822 is equivalent to:
823
824 setting feature default value
825
826 Notice that in both cases, pngusr.dfa and pngusr.h, the contents of the
827 pngusr file you supply override the contents of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
828
829 If confusing or incomprehensible behavior results it is possible to
830 examine the intermediate file pnglibconf.dfn to find the full set of
831 dependency information for each setting and option. Simply locate the
832 feature in the file and read the C comments that precede it.
833
834 This method is also illustrated in the contrib/pngminim/* makefiles and
835 pngusr.h.
836
837 .SH III. Reading
838
839 We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
840 in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
841 of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While
842 progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
843 need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
844 file.
845
846 .SS Setup
847
848 You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
849 so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you
850 will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
851 file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
852 To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
853 png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the
854 corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise.
855 Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the
856 prediction.
857
858 If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
859 you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
860 of the file, and you also have to make a call to png_set_sig_bytes()
861 with the number of bytes you read from the beginning. Libpng will
862 then only check the bytes (if any) that your program didn't read.
863
864 (*): If you are not using the standard I/O functions, you will need
865 to replace them with custom functions. See the discussion under
866 Customizing libpng.
867
868 FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb");
869 if (!fp)
870 {
871 return ERROR;
872 }
873
874 if (fread(header, 1, number, fp) != number)
875 {
876 return ERROR;
877 }
878
879 is_png = (png_sig_cmp(header, 0, number) == 0);
880 if (!is_png)
881 {
882 return NOT_PNG;
883 }
884
885 Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized. In
886 order to ensure that the size of these structures is correct even with a
887 dynamically linked libpng, there are functions to initialize and
888 allocate the structures. We also pass the library version, optional
889 pointers to error handling functions, and a pointer to a data struct for
890 use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
891 be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section
892 on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
893 The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
894 create the structure, so your application should check for that.
895
896 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct
897 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
898 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
899
900 if (!png_ptr)
901 return ERROR;
902
903 png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
904
905 if (!info_ptr)
906 {
907 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, NULL, NULL);
908 return ERROR;
909 }
910
911 If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
912 use a libpng that was built with PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED defined, and use
913 png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
914
915 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
916 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
917 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
918 user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
919
920 The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
921 and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
922 are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
923 handling and memory alloc/free functions.
924
925 When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
926 to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
927 your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different
928 routines, you will need to update the longjmp buffer every time you enter
929 a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
930
931 See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
932 information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error
933 handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
934 on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
935 back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
936 free any memory.
937
938 if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
939 {
940 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr, &end_info);
941 fclose(fp);
942 return ERROR;
943 }
944
945 Pass NULL instead of &end_info if you didn't create an end_info
946 structure.
947
948 If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
949 you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
950 errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
951
952 You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
953 more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
954 return.
955
956 Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to
957 use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
958 valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
959 opened in binary mode. If you wish to handle reading data in another
960 way, you need not call the png_init_io() function, but you must then
961 implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng
962 section below.
963
964 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
965
966 If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
967 the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
968 libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
969
970 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
971
972 You can change the zlib compression buffer size to be used while
973 reading compressed data with
974
975 png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, buffer_size);
976
977 where the default size is 8192 bytes. Note that the buffer size
978 is changed immediately and the buffer is reallocated immediately,
979 instead of setting a flag to be acted upon later.
980
981 If you want CRC errors to be handled in a different manner than
982 the default, use
983
984 png_set_crc_action(png_ptr, crit_action, ancil_action);
985
986 The values for png_set_crc_action() say how libpng is to handle CRC errors in
987 ancillary and critical chunks, and whether to use the data contained
988 therein. Starting with libpng-1.6.26, this also governs how an ADLER32 error
989 is handled while reading the IDAT chunk. Note that it is impossible to
990 "discard" data in a critical chunk.
991
992 Choices for (int) crit_action are
993 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
994 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
995 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
996 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
997 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
998
999 Choices for (int) ancil_action are
1000 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
1001 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
1002 PNG_CRC_WARN_DISCARD 2 warn/discard data
1003 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
1004 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
1005 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
1006
1007 When the setting for crit_action is PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE, the CRC and ADLER32
1008 checksums are not only ignored, but they are not evaluated.
1009
1010 .SS Setting up callback code
1011
1012 You can set up a callback function to handle any unknown chunks in the
1013 input stream. You must supply the function
1014
1015 read_chunk_callback(png_structp png_ptr,
1016 png_unknown_chunkp chunk)
1017 {
1018 /* The unknown chunk structure contains your
1019 chunk data, along with similar data for any other
1020 unknown chunks: */
1021
1022 png_byte name[5];
1023 png_byte *data;
1024 size_t size;
1025
1026 /* Note that libpng has already taken care of
1027 the CRC handling */
1028
1029 /* put your code here. Search for your chunk in the
1030 unknown chunk structure, process it, and return one
1031 of the following: */
1032
1033 return \-n; /* chunk had an error */
1034 return 0; /* did not recognize */
1035 return n; /* success */
1036 }
1037
1038 (You can give your function another name that you like instead of
1039 "read_chunk_callback")
1040
1041 To inform libpng about your function, use
1042
1043 png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
1044 read_chunk_callback);
1045
1046 This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
1047 you can retrieve with
1048
1049 png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
1050
1051 If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
1052 chunks which the callback does not handle will be saved when read. You can
1053 cause them to be discarded by returning '1' ("handled") instead of '0'. This
1054 behavior will change in libpng 1.7 and the default handling set by the
1055 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below, will be used when the
1056 callback returns 0. If you want the existing behavior you should set the global
1057 default to PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE now; this is compatible with all current
1058 versions of libpng and with 1.7. Libpng 1.6 issues a warning if you keep the
1059 default, or PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER, and the callback returns 0.
1060
1061 At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
1062 called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
1063 a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
1064 You must supply a function
1065
1066 void read_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr,
1067 png_uint_32 row, int pass)
1068 {
1069 /* put your code here */
1070 }
1071
1072 (You can give it another name that you like instead of "read_row_callback")
1073
1074 To inform libpng about your function, use
1075
1076 png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
1077
1078 When this function is called the row has already been completely processed and
1079 the 'row' and 'pass' refer to the next row to be handled. For the
1080 non-interlaced case the row that was just handled is simply one less than the
1081 passed in row number, and pass will always be 0. For the interlaced case the
1082 same applies unless the row value is 0, in which case the row just handled was
1083 the last one from one of the preceding passes. Because interlacing may skip a
1084 pass you cannot be sure that the preceding pass is just 'pass\-1'; if you really
1085 need to know what the last pass is record (row,pass) from the callback and use
1086 the last recorded value each time.
1087
1088 As with the user transform you can find the output row using the
1089 PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW macro.
1090
1091 .SS Unknown-chunk handling
1092
1093 Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
1094 input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal
1095 behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
1096 various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This
1097 behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known
1098 chunk types. To change this, you can call:
1099
1100 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,
1101 chunk_list, num_chunks);
1102
1103 keep - 0: default unknown chunk handling
1104 1: ignore; do not keep
1105 2: keep only if safe-to-copy
1106 3: keep even if unsafe-to-copy
1107
1108 You can use these definitions:
1109 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT 0
1110 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1
1111 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2
1112 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3
1113
1114 chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
1115 five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
1116 num_chunks is positive; ignored if
1117 numchunks <= 0).
1118
1119 num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
1120 unknown chunks are affected. If positive,
1121 only the chunks in the list are affected,
1122 and if negative all unknown chunks and
1123 all known chunks except for the IHDR,
1124 PLTE, tRNS, IDAT, and IEND chunks are
1125 affected.
1126
1127 Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
1128 list of png_unknown_chunk structures. If a chunk that is normally
1129 known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
1130 according to the "keep" directive. If a chunk is named in successive
1131 instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
1132 take precedence. The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
1133 chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
1134 If you know that your application will never make use of some particular
1135 chunks, use PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER (or 1) as demonstrated below.
1136
1137 Here is an example of the usage of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(),
1138 where the private "vpAg" chunk will later be processed by a user chunk
1139 callback function:
1140
1141 png_byte vpAg[5]={118, 112, 65, 103, (png_byte) '\0'};
1142
1143 #if defined(PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED)
1144 png_byte unused_chunks[]=
1145 {
1146 104, 73, 83, 84, (png_byte) '\0', /* hIST */
1147 105, 84, 88, 116, (png_byte) '\0', /* iTXt */
1148 112, 67, 65, 76, (png_byte) '\0', /* pCAL */
1149 115, 67, 65, 76, (png_byte) '\0', /* sCAL */
1150 115, 80, 76, 84, (png_byte) '\0', /* sPLT */
1151 116, 73, 77, 69, (png_byte) '\0', /* tIME */
1152 };
1153 #endif
1154
1155 ...
1156
1157 #if defined(PNG_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED)
1158 /* ignore all unknown chunks
1159 * (use global setting "2" for libpng16 and earlier):
1160 */
1161 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 2, NULL, 0);
1162
1163 /* except for vpAg: */
1164 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 2, vpAg, 1);
1165
1166 /* also ignore unused known chunks: */
1167 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(read_ptr, 1, unused_chunks,
1168 (int)(sizeof unused_chunks)/5);
1169 #endif
1170
1171 .SS User limits
1172
1173 The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
1174 large as 2^(31\-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
1175 For safety, libpng imposes a default limit of 1 million rows and columns.
1176 Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
1177 you wish to change these limits, you can use
1178
1179 png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
1180
1181 to set your own limits (libpng may reject some very wide images
1182 anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
1183
1184 You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
1185 before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
1186
1187 When writing a PNG datastream, put this statement before calling
1188 png_write_info() or png_write_png().
1189
1190 If you need to retrieve the limits that are being applied, use
1191
1192 width_max = png_get_user_width_max(png_ptr);
1193 height_max = png_get_user_height_max(png_ptr);
1194
1195 The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
1196 allowed in a PNG datastream. By default, libpng imposes a limit of
1197 a total of 1000 sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks to be stored.
1198 If you have set up both info_ptr and end_info_ptr, the limit applies
1199 separately to each. You can change the limit on the total number of such
1200 chunks that will be stored, with
1201
1202 png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);
1203
1204 where 0x7fffffffL means unlimited. You can retrieve this limit with
1205
1206 chunk_cache_max = png_get_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr);
1207
1208 Libpng imposes a limit of 8 Megabytes (8,000,000 bytes) on the amount of
1209 memory that any chunk other than IDAT can occupy, originally or when
1210 decompressed (prior to libpng-1.6.32 the limit was only applied to compressed
1211 chunks after decompression). You can change this limit with
1212
1213 png_set_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_malloc_max);
1214
1215 and you can retrieve the limit with
1216
1217 chunk_malloc_max = png_get_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr);
1218
1219 Any chunks that would cause either of these limits to be exceeded will
1220 be ignored.
1221
1222 .SS Information about your system
1223
1224 If you intend to display the PNG or to incorporate it in other image data you
1225 need to tell libpng information about your display or drawing surface so that
1226 libpng can convert the values in the image to match the display.
1227
1228 From libpng-1.5.4 this information can be set before reading the PNG file
1229 header. In earlier versions png_set_gamma() existed but behaved incorrectly if
1230 called before the PNG file header had been read and png_set_alpha_mode() did not
1231 exist.
1232
1233 If you need to support versions prior to libpng-1.5.4 test the version number
1234 as illustrated below using "PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504" and follow the procedures
1235 described in the appropriate manual page.
1236
1237 You give libpng the encoding expected by your system expressed as a 'gamma'
1238 value. You can also specify a default encoding for the PNG file in
1239 case the required information is missing from the file. By default libpng
1240 assumes that the PNG data matches your system, to keep this default call:
1241
1242 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, output_gamma);
1243
1244 or you can use the fixed point equivalent:
1245
1246 png_set_gamma_fixed(png_ptr, PNG_FP_1*screen_gamma,
1247 PNG_FP_1*output_gamma);
1248
1249 If you don't know the gamma for your system it is probably 2.2 - a good
1250 approximation to the IEC standard for display systems (sRGB). If images are
1251 too contrasty or washed out you got the value wrong - check your system
1252 documentation!
1253
1254 Many systems permit the system gamma to be changed via a lookup table in the
1255 display driver, a few systems, including older Macs, change the response by
1256 default. As of 1.5.4 three special values are available to handle common
1257 situations:
1258
1259 PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB: Indicates that the system conforms to the
1260 IEC 61966-2-1 standard. This matches almost
1261 all systems.
1262 PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18: Indicates that the system is an older
1263 (pre Mac OS 10.6) Apple Macintosh system with
1264 the default settings.
1265 PNG_GAMMA_LINEAR: Just the fixed point value for 1.0 - indicates
1266 that the system expects data with no gamma
1267 encoding.
1268
1269 You would use the linear (unencoded) value if you need to process the pixel
1270 values further because this avoids the need to decode and re-encode each
1271 component value whenever arithmetic is performed. A lot of graphics software
1272 uses linear values for this reason, often with higher precision component values
1273 to preserve overall accuracy.
1274
1275
1276 The output_gamma value expresses how to decode the output values, not how
1277 they are encoded. The values used correspond to the normal numbers used to
1278 describe the overall gamma of a computer display system; for example 2.2 for
1279 an sRGB conformant system. The values are scaled by 100000 in the _fixed
1280 version of the API (so 220000 for sRGB.)
1281
1282 The inverse of the value is always used to provide a default for the PNG file
1283 encoding if it has no gAMA chunk and if png_set_gamma() has not been called
1284 to override the PNG gamma information.
1285
1286 When the ALPHA_OPTIMIZED mode is selected the output gamma is used to encode
1287 opaque pixels however pixels with lower alpha values are not encoded,
1288 regardless of the output gamma setting.
1289
1290 When the standard Porter Duff handling is requested with mode 1 the output
1291 encoding is set to be linear and the output_gamma value is only relevant
1292 as a default for input data that has no gamma information. The linear output
1293 encoding will be overridden if png_set_gamma() is called - the results may be
1294 highly unexpected!
1295
1296 The following numbers are derived from the sRGB standard and the research
1297 behind it. sRGB is defined to be approximated by a PNG gAMA chunk value of
1298 0.45455 (1/2.2) for PNG. The value implicitly includes any viewing
1299 correction required to take account of any differences in the color
1300 environment of the original scene and the intended display environment; the
1301 value expresses how to *decode* the image for display, not how the original
1302 data was *encoded*.
1303
1304 sRGB provides a peg for the PNG standard by defining a viewing environment.
1305 sRGB itself, and earlier TV standards, actually use a more complex transform
1306 (a linear portion then a gamma 2.4 power law) than PNG can express. (PNG is
1307 limited to simple power laws.) By saying that an image for direct display on
1308 an sRGB conformant system should be stored with a gAMA chunk value of 45455
1309 (11.3.3.2 and 11.3.3.5 of the ISO PNG specification) the PNG specification
1310 makes it possible to derive values for other display systems and
1311 environments.
1312
1313 The Mac value is deduced from the sRGB based on an assumption that the actual
1314 extra viewing correction used in early Mac display systems was implemented as
1315 a power 1.45 lookup table.
1316
1317 Any system where a programmable lookup table is used or where the behavior of
1318 the final display device characteristics can be changed requires system
1319 specific code to obtain the current characteristic. However this can be
1320 difficult and most PNG gamma correction only requires an approximate value.
1321
1322 By default, if png_set_alpha_mode() is not called, libpng assumes that all
1323 values are unencoded, linear, values and that the output device also has a
1324 linear characteristic. This is only very rarely correct - it is invariably
1325 better to call png_set_alpha_mode() with PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB than rely on the
1326 default if you don't know what the right answer is!
1327
1328 The special value PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18 indicates an older Mac system (pre Mac OS
1329 10.6) which used a correction table to implement a somewhat lower gamma on an
1330 otherwise sRGB system.
1331
1332 Both these values are reserved (not simple gamma values) in order to allow
1333 more precise correction internally in the future.
1334
1335 NOTE: the values can be passed to either the fixed or floating
1336 point APIs, but the floating point API will also accept floating point
1337 values.
1338
1339 The second thing you may need to tell libpng about is how your system handles
1340 alpha channel information. Some, but not all, PNG files contain an alpha
1341 channel. To display these files correctly you need to compose the data onto a
1342 suitable background, as described in the PNG specification.
1343
1344 Libpng only supports composing onto a single color (using png_set_background;
1345 see below). Otherwise you must do the composition yourself and, in this case,
1346 you may need to call png_set_alpha_mode:
1347
1348 #if PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504
1349 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, mode, screen_gamma);
1350 #else
1351 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 1.0/screen_gamma);
1352 #endif
1353
1354 The screen_gamma value is the same as the argument to png_set_gamma; however,
1355 how it affects the output depends on the mode. png_set_alpha_mode() sets the
1356 file gamma default to 1/screen_gamma, so normally you don't need to call
1357 png_set_gamma. If you need different defaults call png_set_gamma() before
1358 png_set_alpha_mode() - if you call it after it will override the settings made
1359 by png_set_alpha_mode().
1360
1361 The mode is as follows:
1362
1363 PNG_ALPHA_PNG: The data is encoded according to the PNG
1364 specification. Red, green and blue, or gray, components are
1365 gamma encoded color values and are not premultiplied by the
1366 alpha value. The alpha value is a linear measure of the
1367 contribution of the pixel to the corresponding final output pixel.
1368
1369 You should normally use this format if you intend to perform
1370 color correction on the color values; most, maybe all, color
1371 correction software has no handling for the alpha channel and,
1372 anyway, the math to handle pre-multiplied component values is
1373 unnecessarily complex.
1374
1375 Before you do any arithmetic on the component values you need
1376 to remove the gamma encoding and multiply out the alpha
1377 channel. See the PNG specification for more detail. It is
1378 important to note that when an image with an alpha channel is
1379 scaled, linear encoded, pre-multiplied component values must
1380 be used!
1381
1382 The remaining modes assume you don't need to do any further color correction or
1383 that if you do, your color correction software knows all about alpha (it
1384 probably doesn't!). They 'associate' the alpha with the color information by
1385 storing color channel values that have been scaled by the alpha. The
1386 advantage is that the color channels can be resampled (the image can be
1387 scaled) in this form. The disadvantage is that normal practice is to store
1388 linear, not (gamma) encoded, values and this requires 16-bit channels for
1389 still images rather than the 8-bit channels that are just about sufficient if
1390 gamma encoding is used. In addition all non-transparent pixel values,
1391 including completely opaque ones, must be gamma encoded to produce the final
1392 image. These are the 'STANDARD', 'ASSOCIATED' or 'PREMULTIPLIED' modes
1393 described below (the latter being the two common names for associated alpha
1394 color channels). Note that PNG files always contain non-associated color
1395 channels; png_set_alpha_mode() with one of the modes causes the decoder to
1396 convert the pixels to an associated form before returning them to your
1397 application.
1398
1399 Since it is not necessary to perform arithmetic on opaque color values so
1400 long as they are not to be resampled and are in the final color space it is
1401 possible to optimize the handling of alpha by storing the opaque pixels in
1402 the PNG format (adjusted for the output color space) while storing partially
1403 opaque pixels in the standard, linear, format. The accuracy required for
1404 standard alpha composition is relatively low, because the pixels are
1405 isolated, therefore typically the accuracy loss in storing 8-bit linear
1406 values is acceptable. (This is not true if the alpha channel is used to
1407 simulate transparency over large areas - use 16 bits or the PNG mode in
1408 this case!) This is the 'OPTIMIZED' mode. For this mode a pixel is
1409 treated as opaque only if the alpha value is equal to the maximum value.
1410
1411 PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD: The data libpng produces is encoded in the
1412 standard way assumed by most correctly written graphics software.
1413 The gamma encoding will be removed by libpng and the
1414 linear component values will be pre-multiplied by the
1415 alpha channel.
1416
1417 With this format the final image must be re-encoded to
1418 match the display gamma before the image is displayed.
1419 If your system doesn't do that, yet still seems to
1420 perform arithmetic on the pixels without decoding them,
1421 it is broken - check out the modes below.
1422
1423 With PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD libpng always produces linear
1424 component values, whatever screen_gamma you supply. The
1425 screen_gamma value is, however, used as a default for
1426 the file gamma if the PNG file has no gamma information.
1427
1428 If you call png_set_gamma() after png_set_alpha_mode() you
1429 will override the linear encoding. Instead the
1430 pre-multiplied pixel values will be gamma encoded but
1431 the alpha channel will still be linear. This may
1432 actually match the requirements of some broken software,
1433 but it is unlikely.
1434
1435 While linear 8-bit data is often used it has
1436 insufficient precision for any image with a reasonable
1437 dynamic range. To avoid problems, and if your software
1438 supports it, use png_set_expand_16() to force all
1439 components to 16 bits.
1440
1441 PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED: This mode is the same as PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD
1442 except that completely opaque pixels are gamma encoded according to
1443 the screen_gamma value. Pixels with alpha less than 1.0
1444 will still have linear components.
1445
1446 Use this format if you have control over your
1447 compositing software and so don't do other arithmetic
1448 (such as scaling) on the data you get from libpng. Your
1449 compositing software can simply copy opaque pixels to
1450 the output but still has linear values for the
1451 non-opaque pixels.
1452
1453 In normal compositing, where the alpha channel encodes
1454 partial pixel coverage (as opposed to broad area
1455 translucency), the inaccuracies of the 8-bit
1456 representation of non-opaque pixels are irrelevant.
1457
1458 You can also try this format if your software is broken;
1459 it might look better.
1460
1461 PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN: This is PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD; however, all component
1462 values, including the alpha channel are gamma encoded. This is
1463 broken because, in practice, no implementation that uses this choice
1464 correctly undoes the encoding before handling alpha composition. Use this
1465 choice only if other serious errors in the software or hardware you use
1466 mandate it. In most cases of broken software or hardware the bug in the
1467 final display manifests as a subtle halo around composited parts of the
1468 image. You may not even perceive this as a halo; the composited part of
1469 the image may simply appear separate from the background, as though it had
1470 been cut out of paper and pasted on afterward.
1471
1472 If you don't have to deal with bugs in software or hardware, or if you can fix
1473 them, there are three recommended ways of using png_set_alpha_mode():
1474
1475 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_PNG,
1476 screen_gamma);
1477
1478 You can do color correction on the result (libpng does not currently
1479 support color correction internally). When you handle the alpha channel
1480 you need to undo the gamma encoding and multiply out the alpha.
1481
1482 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD,
1483 screen_gamma);
1484 png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
1485
1486 If you are using the high level interface, don't call png_set_expand_16();
1487 instead pass PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16 to the interface.
1488
1489 With this mode you can't do color correction, but you can do arithmetic,
1490 including composition and scaling, on the data without further processing.
1491
1492 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED,
1493 screen_gamma);
1494
1495 You can avoid the expansion to 16-bit components with this mode, but you
1496 lose the ability to scale the image or perform other linear arithmetic.
1497 All you can do is compose the result onto a matching output. Since this
1498 mode is libpng-specific you also need to write your own composition
1499 software.
1500
1501 The following are examples of calls to png_set_alpha_mode to achieve the
1502 required overall gamma correction and, where necessary, alpha
1503 premultiplication.
1504
1505 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1506
1507 Choices for the alpha_mode are
1508
1509 PNG_ALPHA_PNG 0 /* according to the PNG standard */
1510 PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD 1 /* according to Porter/Duff */
1511 PNG_ALPHA_ASSOCIATED 1 /* as above; this is the normal practice */
1512 PNG_ALPHA_PREMULTIPLIED 1 /* as above */
1513 PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED 2 /* 'PNG' for opaque pixels, else 'STANDARD' */
1514 PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN 3 /* the alpha channel is gamma encoded */
1515
1516 PNG_ALPHA_PNG is the default libpng handling of the alpha channel. It is not
1517 pre-multiplied into the color components. In addition the call states
1518 that the output is for a sRGB system and causes all PNG files without gAMA
1519 chunks to be assumed to be encoded using sRGB.
1520
1521 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_GAMMA_MAC);
1522
1523 In this case the output is assumed to be something like an sRGB conformant
1524 display preceded by a power-law lookup table of power 1.45. This is how
1525 early Mac systems behaved.
1526
1527 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD, PNG_GAMMA_LINEAR);
1528
1529 This is the classic Jim Blinn approach and will work in academic
1530 environments where everything is done by the book. It has the shortcoming
1531 of assuming that input PNG data with no gamma information is linear - this
1532 is unlikely to be correct unless the PNG files were generated locally.
1533 Most of the time the output precision will be so low as to show
1534 significant banding in dark areas of the image.
1535
1536 png_set_expand_16(pp);
1537 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1538
1539 This is a somewhat more realistic Jim Blinn inspired approach. PNG files
1540 are assumed to have the sRGB encoding if not marked with a gamma value and
1541 the output is always 16 bits per component. This permits accurate scaling
1542 and processing of the data. If you know that your input PNG files were
1543 generated locally you might need to replace PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB with the
1544 correct value for your system.
1545
1546 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1547
1548 If you just need to composite the PNG image onto an existing background
1549 and if you control the code that does this you can use the optimization
1550 setting. In this case you just copy completely opaque pixels to the
1551 output. For pixels that are not completely transparent (you just skip
1552 those) you do the composition math using png_composite or png_composite_16
1553 below then encode the resultant 8-bit or 16-bit values to match the output
1554 encoding.
1555
1556 Other cases
1557
1558 If neither the PNG nor the standard linear encoding work for you because
1559 of the software or hardware you use then you have a big problem. The PNG
1560 case will probably result in halos around the image. The linear encoding
1561 will probably result in a washed out, too bright, image (it's actually too
1562 contrasty.) Try the ALPHA_OPTIMIZED mode above - this will probably
1563 substantially reduce the halos. Alternatively try:
1564
1565 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1566
1567 This option will also reduce the halos, but there will be slight dark
1568 halos round the opaque parts of the image where the background is light.
1569 In the OPTIMIZED mode the halos will be light halos where the background
1570 is dark. Take your pick - the halos are unavoidable unless you can get
1571 your hardware/software fixed! (The OPTIMIZED approach is slightly
1572 faster.)
1573
1574 When the default gamma of PNG files doesn't match the output gamma.
1575 If you have PNG files with no gamma information png_set_alpha_mode allows
1576 you to provide a default gamma, but it also sets the output gamma to the
1577 matching value. If you know your PNG files have a gamma that doesn't
1578 match the output you can take advantage of the fact that
1579 png_set_alpha_mode always sets the output gamma but only sets the PNG
1580 default if it is not already set:
1581
1582 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1583 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_GAMMA_MAC);
1584
1585 The first call sets both the default and the output gamma values, the
1586 second call overrides the output gamma without changing the default. This
1587 is easier than achieving the same effect with png_set_gamma. You must use
1588 PNG_ALPHA_PNG for the first call - internal checking in png_set_alpha will
1589 fire if more than one call to png_set_alpha_mode and png_set_background is
1590 made in the same read operation, however multiple calls with PNG_ALPHA_PNG
1591 are ignored.
1592
1593 If you don't need, or can't handle, the alpha channel you can call
1594 png_set_background() to remove it by compositing against a fixed color. Don't
1595 call png_set_strip_alpha() to do this - it will leave spurious pixel values in
1596 transparent parts of this image.
1597
1598 png_set_background(png_ptr, &background_color,
1599 PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0, 1);
1600
1601 The background_color is an RGB or grayscale value according to the data format
1602 libpng will produce for you. Because you don't yet know the format of the PNG
1603 file, if you call png_set_background at this point you must arrange for the
1604 format produced by libpng to always have 8-bit or 16-bit components and then
1605 store the color as an 8-bit or 16-bit color as appropriate. The color contains
1606 separate gray and RGB component values, so you can let libpng produce gray or
1607 RGB output according to the input format, but low bit depth grayscale images
1608 must always be converted to at least 8-bit format. (Even though low bit depth
1609 grayscale images can't have an alpha channel they can have a transparent
1610 color!)
1611
1612 You set the transforms you need later, either as flags to the high level
1613 interface or libpng API calls for the low level interface. For reference the
1614 settings and API calls required are:
1615
1616 8-bit values:
1617 PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 | PNG_EXPAND
1618 png_set_expand(png_ptr); png_set_scale_16(png_ptr);
1619
1620 If you must get exactly the same inaccurate results
1621 produced by default in versions prior to libpng-1.5.4,
1622 use PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 and png_set_strip_16(png_ptr)
1623 instead.
1624
1625 16-bit values:
1626 PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16
1627 png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
1628
1629 In either case palette image data will be expanded to RGB. If you just want
1630 color data you can add PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB or png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr)
1631 to the list.
1632
1633 Calling png_set_background before the PNG file header is read will not work
1634 prior to libpng-1.5.4. Because the failure may result in unexpected warnings or
1635 errors it is therefore much safer to call png_set_background after the head has
1636 been read. Unfortunately this means that prior to libpng-1.5.4 it cannot be
1637 used with the high level interface.
1638
1639 .SS The high-level read interface
1640
1641 At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
1642 read interface, or through a sequence of low-level read operations.
1643 You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read
1644 the entire image into memory, and (b) the input transformations
1645 you want to do are limited to the following set:
1646
1647 PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
1648 PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 Strip 16-bit samples to
1649 8-bit accurately
1650 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 Chop 16-bit samples to
1651 8-bit less accurately
1652 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_ALPHA Discard the alpha channel
1653 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Expand 1, 2 and 4-bit
1654 samples to bytes
1655 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
1656 pixels to LSB first
1657 PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND Perform set_expand()
1658 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
1659 PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
1660 sBIT depth
1661 PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
1662 to BGRA
1663 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
1664 to AG
1665 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
1666 to transparency
1667 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
1668 PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB Expand grayscale samples
1669 to RGB (or GA to RGBA)
1670 PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16 Expand samples to 16 bits
1671
1672 (This excludes setting a background color, doing gamma transformation,
1673 quantizing, and setting filler.) If this is the case, simply do this:
1674
1675 png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
1676
1677 where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some
1678 set of transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_read_info(),
1679 followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
1680 then png_read_image(), and finally png_read_end().
1681
1682 (The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
1683 to transformation parameters required by some future input transform.)
1684
1685 You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
1686 when you use png_read_png().
1687
1688 After you have called png_read_png(), you can retrieve the image data
1689 with
1690
1691 row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1692
1693 where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
1694
1695 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
1696
1697 If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
1698 row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
1699
1700 if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX / (sizeof (png_bytep)))
1701 png_error(png_ptr,
1702 "Image is too tall to process in memory");
1703
1704 if (width > PNG_UINT_32_MAX / pixel_size)
1705 png_error(png_ptr,
1706 "Image is too wide to process in memory");
1707
1708 row_pointers = png_malloc(png_ptr,
1709 height*(sizeof (png_bytep)));
1710
1711 for (int i = 0; i < height, i++)
1712 row_pointers[i] = NULL; /* security precaution */
1713
1714 for (int i = 0; i < height, i++)
1715 row_pointers[i] = png_malloc(png_ptr,
1716 width*pixel_size);
1717
1718 png_set_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr, &row_pointers);
1719
1720 Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
1721 row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block, but first
1722 be sure that your platform is able to allocate such a large buffer:
1723
1724 /* Guard against integer overflow */
1725 if (height > PNG_SIZE_MAX/(width*pixel_size))
1726 png_error(png_ptr, "image_data buffer would be too large");
1727
1728 png_bytep buffer = png_malloc(png_ptr,
1729 height*width*pixel_size);
1730
1731 for (int i = 0; i < height, i++)
1732 row_pointers[i] = buffer + i*width*pixel_size;
1733
1734 png_set_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr, &row_pointers);
1735
1736 If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
1737 row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
1738
1739 If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
1740 do it, and it'll be free'ed by libpng when you call png_destroy_*().
1741
1742 .SS The low-level read interface
1743
1744 If you are going the low-level route, you are now ready to read all
1745 the file information up to the actual image data. You do this with a
1746 call to png_read_info().
1747
1748 png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1749
1750 This will process all chunks up to but not including the image data.
1751
1752 This also copies some of the data from the PNG file into the decode structure
1753 for use in later transformations. Important information copied in is:
1754
1755 1) The PNG file gamma from the gAMA chunk. This overwrites the default value
1756 provided by an earlier call to png_set_gamma or png_set_alpha_mode.
1757
1758 2) Prior to libpng-1.5.4 the background color from a bKGd chunk. This
1759 damages the information provided by an earlier call to png_set_background
1760 resulting in unexpected behavior. Libpng-1.5.4 no longer does this.
1761
1762 3) The number of significant bits in each component value. Libpng uses this to
1763 optimize gamma handling by reducing the internal lookup table sizes.
1764
1765 4) The transparent color information from a tRNS chunk. This can be modified by
1766 a later call to png_set_tRNS.
1767
1768 .SS Querying the info structure
1769
1770 Functions are used to get the information from the info_ptr once it
1771 has been read. Note that these fields may not be completely filled
1772 in until png_read_end() has read the chunk data following the image.
1773
1774 png_get_IHDR(png_ptr, info_ptr, &width, &height,
1775 &bit_depth, &color_type, &interlace_type,
1776 &compression_type, &filter_method);
1777
1778 width - holds the width of the image
1779 in pixels (up to 2^31).
1780
1781 height - holds the height of the image
1782 in pixels (up to 2^31).
1783
1784 bit_depth - holds the bit depth of one of the
1785 image channels. (valid values are
1786 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and depend also on
1787 the color_type. See also
1788 significant bits (sBIT) below).
1789
1790 color_type - describes which color/alpha channels
1791 are present.
1792 PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY
1793 (bit depths 1, 2, 4, 8, 16)

1802
1803 PNG_COLOR_MASK_PALETTE
1804 PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR
1805 PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA
1806
1807 interlace_type - (PNG_INTERLACE_NONE or
1808 PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
1809
1810 compression_type - (must be PNG_COMPRESSION_TYPE_BASE
1811 for PNG 1.0)
1812
1813 filter_method - (must be PNG_FILTER_TYPE_BASE
1814 for PNG 1.0, and can also be
1815 PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if
1816 the PNG datastream is embedded in
1817 a MNG-1.0 datastream)
1818
1819 Any of width, height, color_type, bit_depth,
1820 interlace_type, compression_type, or filter_method can
1821 be NULL if you are not interested in their values.
1822
1823 Note that png_get_IHDR() returns 32-bit data into
1824 the application's width and height variables.
1825 This is an unsafe situation if these are not png_uint_32
1826 variables. In such situations, the
1827 png_get_image_width() and png_get_image_height()
1828 functions described below are safer.
1829
1830 width = png_get_image_width(png_ptr,
1831 info_ptr);
1832
1833 height = png_get_image_height(png_ptr,
1834 info_ptr);

1836 bit_depth = png_get_bit_depth(png_ptr,
1837 info_ptr);

1846 info_ptr);

1848 filter_method = png_get_filter_type(png_ptr,
1849 info_ptr);
1850
1851 channels = png_get_channels(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1852
1853 channels - number of channels of info for the
1854 color type (valid values are 1 (GRAY,
1855 PALETTE), 2 (GRAY_ALPHA), 3 (RGB),
1856 4 (RGB_ALPHA or RGB + filler byte))
1857
1858 rowbytes = png_get_rowbytes(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1859
1860 rowbytes - number of bytes needed to hold a row
1861 This value, the bit_depth, color_type,
1862 and the number of channels can change
1863 if you use transforms such as
1864 png_set_expand(). See
1865 png_read_update_info(), below.
1866
1867 signature = png_get_signature(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1868
1869 signature - holds the signature read from the
1870 file (if any). The data is kept in
1871 the same offset it would be if the
1872 whole signature were read (i.e. if an
1873 application had already read in 4
1874 bytes of signature before starting
1875 libpng, the remaining 4 bytes would
1876 be in signature[4] through signature[7]
1877 (see png_set_sig_bytes())).
1878
1879 These are also important, but their validity depends on whether the chunk
1880 has been read. The png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr, PNG_INFO_<chunk>) and
1881 png_get_<chunk>(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...) functions return non-zero if the
1882 data has been read, or zero if it is missing. The parameters to the
1883 png_get_<chunk> are set directly if they are simple data types, or a
1884 pointer into the info_ptr is returned for any complex types.
1885
1886 The colorspace data from gAMA, cHRM, sRGB, iCCP, and sBIT chunks
1887 is simply returned to give the application information about how the
1888 image was encoded. Libpng itself only does transformations using the file
1889 gamma when combining semitransparent pixels with the background color, and,
1890 since libpng-1.6.0, when converting between 8-bit sRGB and 16-bit linear pixels
1891 within the simplified API. Libpng also uses the file gamma when converting
1892 RGB to gray, beginning with libpng-1.0.5, if the application calls
1893 png_set_rgb_to_gray()).
1894
1895 png_get_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr, &palette,

1932 A color space encoding specified using the
1933 encoding end points - the CIE tristimulus
1934 specification of the intended color of the red,
1935 green and blue channels in the PNG RGB data.
1936 The white point is simply the sum of the three
1937 end points. (PNG_INFO_cHRM)
1938
1939 png_get_sRGB(png_ptr, info_ptr, &srgb_intent);
1940
1941 srgb_intent - the rendering intent (PNG_INFO_sRGB)
1942 The presence of the sRGB chunk
1943 means that the pixel data is in the
1944 sRGB color space. This chunk also
1945 implies specific values of gAMA and
1946 cHRM.

1973
1974 trans_alpha - array of alpha (transparency)
1975 entries for palette (PNG_INFO_tRNS)
1976
1977 num_trans - number of transparent entries
1978 (PNG_INFO_tRNS)

2001 background - background color (of type
2002 png_color_16p) (PNG_INFO_bKGD)
2003 valid 16-bit red, green and blue
2004 values, regardless of color_type
2005
2006 num_comments = png_get_text(png_ptr, info_ptr,
2007 &text_ptr, &num_text);
2008
2009 num_comments - number of comments
2010
2011 text_ptr - array of png_text holding image
2012 comments
2013
2014 text_ptr[i].compression - type of compression used
2015 on "text" PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE
2016 PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
2017 PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_NONE
2018 PNG_ITXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt

2033 string for unknown).
2034
2035 text_ptr[i].lang_key - keyword in UTF-8
2036 (empty string for unknown).
2037
2038 Note that the itxt_length, lang, and lang_key
2039 members of the text_ptr structure only exist when the
2040 library is built with iTXt chunk support. Prior to
2041 libpng-1.4.0 the library was built by default without
2042 iTXt support. Also note that when iTXt is supported,
2043 they contain NULL pointers when the "compression"
2044 field contains PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or
2045 PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt.
2046
2047 num_text - number of comments (same as
2048 num_comments; you can put NULL here
2049 to avoid the duplication)
2050
2051 Note while png_set_text() will accept text, language,
2052 and translated keywords that can be NULL pointers, the
2053 structure returned by png_get_text will always contain
2054 regular zero-terminated C strings. They might be
2055 empty strings but they will never be NULL pointers.
2056
2057 num_spalettes = png_get_sPLT(png_ptr, info_ptr,

2097 (width and height are doubles)
2098
2099 png_get_sCAL_s(png_ptr, info_ptr, &unit, &width,

2101
2102 unit - physical scale units (an integer)
2103
2104 width - width of a pixel in physical scale units
2105 (expressed as a string)
2106
2107 height - height of a pixel in physical scale units
2108 (width and height are strings like "2.54")
2109
2110 num_unknown_chunks = png_get_unknown_chunks(png_ptr,
2111 info_ptr, &unknowns)
2112
2113 unknowns - array of png_unknown_chunk
2114 structures holding unknown chunks
2115
2116 unknowns[i].name - name of unknown chunk
2117
2118 unknowns[i].data - data of unknown chunk
2119
2120 unknowns[i].size - size of unknown chunk's data
2121
2122 unknowns[i].location - position of chunk in file
2123
2124 The value of "i" corresponds to the order in which the
2125 chunks were read from the PNG file or inserted with the
2126 png_set_unknown_chunks() function.
2127
2128 The value of "location" is a bitwise "or" of
2129
2130 PNG_HAVE_IHDR (0x01)
2131 PNG_HAVE_PLTE (0x02)
2132 PNG_AFTER_IDAT (0x08)
2133
2134 The data from the pHYs chunk can be retrieved in several convenient
2135 forms:
2136
2137 res_x = png_get_x_pixels_per_meter(png_ptr,
2138 info_ptr)
2139
2140 res_y = png_get_y_pixels_per_meter(png_ptr,
2141 info_ptr)
2142
2143 res_x_and_y = png_get_pixels_per_meter(png_ptr,
2144 info_ptr)
2145
2146 res_x = png_get_x_pixels_per_inch(png_ptr,
2147 info_ptr)
2148
2149 res_y = png_get_y_pixels_per_inch(png_ptr,
2150 info_ptr)
2151
2152 res_x_and_y = png_get_pixels_per_inch(png_ptr,
2153 info_ptr)
2154
2155 aspect_ratio = png_get_pixel_aspect_ratio(png_ptr,
2156 info_ptr)
2157
2158 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown"] if
2159 the data is not present or if res_x is 0;
2160 res_x_and_y is 0 if res_x != res_y
2161
2162 Note that because of the way the resolutions are
2163 stored internally, the inch conversions won't
2164 come out to exactly even number. For example,
2165 72 dpi is stored as 0.28346 pixels/meter, and
2166 when this is retrieved it is 71.9988 dpi, so
2167 be sure to round the returned value appropriately
2168 if you want to display a reasonable-looking result.
2169
2170 The data from the oFFs chunk can be retrieved in several convenient
2171 forms:
2172
2173 x_offset = png_get_x_offset_microns(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2174
2175 y_offset = png_get_y_offset_microns(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2176
2177 x_offset = png_get_x_offset_inches(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2178
2179 y_offset = png_get_y_offset_inches(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2180
2181 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown" if both
2182 x and y are 0] if the data is not present or if the
2183 chunk is present but the unit is the pixel. The
2184 remark about inexact inch conversions applies here
2185 as well, because a value in inches can't always be
2186 converted to microns and back without some loss
2187 of precision.
2188
2189 For more information, see the
2190 PNG specification for chunk contents. Be careful with trusting
2191 rowbytes, as some of the transformations could increase the space
2192 needed to hold a row (expand, filler, gray_to_rgb, etc.).
2193 See png_read_update_info(), below.
2194
2195 A quick word about text_ptr and num_text. PNG stores comments in
2196 keyword/text pairs, one pair per chunk, with no limit on the number
2197 of text chunks, and a 2^31 byte limit on their size. While there are
2198 suggested keywords, there is no requirement to restrict the use to these
2199 strings. It is strongly suggested that keywords and text be sensible
2200 to humans (that's the point), so don't use abbreviations. Non-printing
2201 symbols are not allowed. See the PNG specification for more details.
2202 There is also no requirement to have text after the keyword.
2203
2204 Keywords should be limited to 79 Latin-1 characters without leading or
2205 trailing spaces, but non-consecutive spaces are allowed within the
2206 keyword. It is possible to have the same keyword any number of times.
2207 The text_ptr is an array of png_text structures, each holding a
2208 pointer to a language string, a pointer to a keyword and a pointer to
2209 a text string. The text string, language code, and translated
2210 keyword may be empty or NULL pointers. The keyword/text
2211 pairs are put into the array in the order that they are received.
2212 However, some or all of the text chunks may be after the image, so, to
2213 make sure you have read all the text chunks, don't mess with these
2214 until after you read the stuff after the image. This will be
2215 mentioned again below in the discussion that goes with png_read_end().
2216
2217 .SS Input transformations
2218
2219 After you've read the header information, you can set up the library
2220 to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
2221 ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
2222 should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
2223 type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
2224 certain color types and bit depths.
2225
2226 Transformations you request are ignored if they don't have any meaning for a
2227 particular input data format. However some transformations can have an effect
2228 as a result of a previous transformation. If you specify a contradictory set of
2229 transformations, for example both adding and removing the alpha channel, you
2230 cannot predict the final result.
2231
2232 The color used for the transparency values should be supplied in the same
2233 format/depth as the current image data. It is stored in the same format/depth
2234 as the image data in a tRNS chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data.
2235
2236 The color used for the background value depends on the need_expand argument as
2237 described below.
2238
2239 Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes
2240 unless the library has been told to transform it into another format.
2241 For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned
2242 2 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the byte,
2243 unless png_set_packing() is called. 8-bit RGB data will be stored
2244 in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha()
2245 is called to insert filler bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet.
2246
2247 16-bit RGB data will be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant
2248 byte of the color value first, unless png_set_scale_16() is called to
2249 transform it to regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() or
2250 png_set_add alpha() is called to insert two filler bytes, either before
2251 or after each RRGGBB triplet. Similarly, 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can
2252 be modified with png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), png_set_strip_16(),
2253 or png_set_scale_16().
2254
2255 The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits,
2256 changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is
2257 transparency information in a tRNS chunk. This is most useful on
2258 grayscale images with bit depths of 2 or 4 or if there is a multiple-image
2259 viewing application that wishes to treat all images in the same way.
2260
2261 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_PALETTE)
2262 png_set_palette_to_rgb(png_ptr);
2263
2264 if (png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr, PNG_INFO_tRNS))
2265 png_set_tRNS_to_alpha(png_ptr);
2266
2267 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY && bit_depth < 8)
2268 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8(png_ptr);
2269
2270 The first two functions are actually aliases for png_set_expand(), added
2271 in libpng version 1.0.4, with the function names expanded to improve code
2272 readability. In some future version they may actually do different
2273 things.
2274
2275 As of libpng version 1.2.9, png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was
2276 added. It expands the sample depth without changing tRNS to alpha.
2277
2278 As of libpng version 1.5.2, png_set_expand_16() was added. It behaves as
2279 png_set_expand(); however, the resultant channels have 16 bits rather than 8.
2280 Use this when the output color or gray channels are made linear to avoid fairly
2281 severe accuracy loss.
2282
2283 if (bit_depth < 16)
2284 png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
2285
2286 PNG can have files with 16 bits per channel. If you only can handle
2287 8 bits per channel, this will strip the pixels down to 8-bit.
2288
2289 if (bit_depth == 16)
2290 {
2291 #if PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504
2292 png_set_scale_16(png_ptr);
2293 #else
2294 png_set_strip_16(png_ptr);
2295 #endif
2296 }
2297
2298 (The more accurate "png_set_scale_16()" API became available in libpng version
2299 1.5.4).
2300
2301 If you need to process the alpha channel on the image separately from the image
2302 data (for example if you convert it to a bitmap mask) it is possible to have
2303 libpng strip the channel leaving just RGB or gray data:
2304
2305 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
2306 png_set_strip_alpha(png_ptr);
2307
2308 If you strip the alpha channel you need to find some other way of dealing with
2309 the information. If, instead, you want to convert the image to an opaque
2310 version with no alpha channel use png_set_background; see below.
2311
2312 As of libpng version 1.5.2, almost all useful expansions are supported, the
2313 major omissions are conversion of grayscale to indexed images (which can be
2314 done trivially in the application) and conversion of indexed to grayscale (which
2315 can be done by a trivial manipulation of the palette.)
2316
2317 In the following table, the 01 means grayscale with depth<8, 31 means
2318 indexed with depth<8, other numerals represent the color type, "T" means
2319 the tRNS chunk is present, A means an alpha channel is present, and O
2320 means tRNS or alpha is present but all pixels in the image are opaque.

2340 Within the matrix,
2341 "+" identifies entries where 'from' and 'to' are the same.
2342 "-" means the transformation is not supported.
2343 "." means nothing is necessary (a tRNS chunk can just be ignored).
2344 "t" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_tRNS.
2345 "A" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_add_alpha().
2346 "X" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_expand().
2347 "1" means the transformation is obtained by
2348 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() (and by png_set_expand()
2349 if there is no transparency in the original or the final
2350 format).
2351 "C" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_gray_to_rgb().
2352 "G" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_rgb_to_gray().
2353 "P" means the transformation is obtained by
2354 png_set_expand_palette_to_rgb().
2355 "p" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_packing().
2356 "Q" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_quantize().
2357 "T" means the transformation is obtained by
2358 png_set_tRNS_to_alpha().
2359 "B" means the transformation is obtained by
2360 png_set_background(), or png_strip_alpha().
2361
2362 When an entry has multiple transforms listed all are required to cause the
2363 right overall transformation. When two transforms are separated by a comma
2364 either will do the job. When transforms are enclosed in [] the transform should
2365 do the job but this is currently unimplemented - a different format will result
2366 if the suggested transformations are used.
2367
2368 In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image
2369 is the level of opacity. If you need the alpha channel in an image to
2370 be the level of transparency instead of opacity, you can invert the
2371 alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk data) after it's read, so that 0 is
2372 fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit
2373 images) is fully transparent, with
2374
2375 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
2376
2377 PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
2378 they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit
2379 files. This code expands to 1 pixel per byte without changing the
2380 values of the pixels:
2381
2382 if (bit_depth < 8)
2383 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
2384
2385 PNG files have possible bit depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. All pixels
2386 stored in a PNG image have been "scaled" or "shifted" up to the next
2387 higher possible bit depth (e.g. from 5 bits/sample in the range [0,31]
2388 to 8 bits/sample in the range [0, 255]). However, it is also possible
2389 to convert the PNG pixel data back to the original bit depth of the
2390 image. This call reduces the pixels back down to the original bit depth:
2391
2392 png_color_8p sig_bit;
2393
2394 if (png_get_sBIT(png_ptr, info_ptr, &sig_bit))
2395 png_set_shift(png_ptr, sig_bit);
2396
2397 PNG files store 3-color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
2398 changes the storage of the pixels to blue, green, red:
2399
2400 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2401 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
2402 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
2403
2404 PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code expands them
2405 into 4 or 8 bytes for windowing systems that need them in this format:
2406
2407 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB)
2408 png_set_filler(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
2409
2410 where "filler" is the 8-bit or 16-bit number to fill with, and the location
2411 is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether
2412 you want the filler before the RGB or after. When filling an 8-bit pixel,
2413 the least significant 8 bits of the number are used, if a 16-bit number is
2414 supplied. This transformation does not affect images that already have full
2415 alpha channels. To add an opaque alpha channel, use filler=0xffff and
2416 PNG_FILLER_AFTER which will generate RGBA pixels.
2417
2418 Note that png_set_filler() does not change the color type. If you want
2419 to do that, you can add a true alpha channel with
2420
2421 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2422 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2423 png_set_add_alpha(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_AFTER);
2424
2425 where "filler" contains the alpha value to assign to each pixel.
2426 The png_set_add_alpha() function was added in libpng-1.2.7.
2427
2428 If you are reading an image with an alpha channel, and you need the
2429 data as ARGB instead of the normal PNG format RGBA:
2430
2431 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
2432 png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
2433
2434 For some uses, you may want a grayscale image to be represented as
2435 RGB. This code will do that conversion:
2436
2437 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
2438 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
2439 png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
2440
2441 Conversely, you can convert an RGB or RGBA image to grayscale or grayscale
2442 with alpha.
2443
2444 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2445 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
2446 png_set_rgb_to_gray(png_ptr, error_action,
2447 (double)red_weight, (double)green_weight);
2448
2449 error_action = 1: silently do the conversion
2450
2451 error_action = 2: issue a warning if the original
2452 image has any pixel where
2453 red != green or red != blue
2454
2455 error_action = 3: issue an error and abort the
2456 conversion if the original
2457 image has any pixel where
2458 red != green or red != blue
2459
2460 red_weight: weight of red component
2461
2462 green_weight: weight of green component
2463 If either weight is negative, default
2464 weights are used.
2465
2466 In the corresponding fixed point API the red_weight and green_weight values are
2467 simply scaled by 100,000:
2468
2469 png_set_rgb_to_gray(png_ptr, error_action,
2470 (png_fixed_point)red_weight,
2471 (png_fixed_point)green_weight);
2472
2473 If you have set error_action = 1 or 2, you can
2474 later check whether the image really was gray, after processing
2475 the image rows, with the png_get_rgb_to_gray_status(png_ptr) function.
2476 It will return a png_byte that is zero if the image was gray or
2477 1 if there were any non-gray pixels. Background and sBIT data
2478 will be silently converted to grayscale, using the green channel
2479 data for sBIT, regardless of the error_action setting.
2480
2481 The default values come from the PNG file cHRM chunk if present; otherwise, the
2482 defaults correspond to the ITU-R recommendation 709, and also the sRGB color
2483 space, as recommended in the Charles Poynton's Colour FAQ,
2484 Copyright (c) 2006-11-28 Charles Poynton, in section 9:
2485

2487
2488 Y = 0.2126 * R + 0.7152 * G + 0.0722 * B
2489
2490 Previous versions of this document, 1998 through 2002, recommended a slightly
2491 different formula:
2492
2493 Y = 0.212671 * R + 0.715160 * G + 0.072169 * B
2494
2495 Libpng uses an integer approximation:
2496
2497 Y = (6968 * R + 23434 * G + 2366 * B)/32768
2498
2499 The calculation is done in a linear colorspace, if the image gamma
2500 can be determined.
2501
2502 The png_set_background() function has been described already; it tells libpng to
2503 composite images with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied
2504 background color. For compatibility with versions of libpng earlier than
2505 libpng-1.5.4 it is recommended that you call the function after reading the file
2506 header, even if you don't want to use the color in a bKGD chunk, if one exists.
2507
2508 If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
2509 you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
2510 the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page). You
2511 need to tell libpng how the color is represented, both the format of the
2512 component values in the color (the number of bits) and the gamma encoding of the
2513 color. The function takes two arguments, background_gamma_mode and need_expand
2514 to convey this information; however, only two combinations are likely to be
2515 useful:
2516
2517 png_color_16 my_background;
2518 png_color_16p image_background;
2519
2520 if (png_get_bKGD(png_ptr, info_ptr, &image_background))
2521 png_set_background(png_ptr, image_background,
2522 PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE, 1/*needs to be expanded*/, 1);
2523 else
2524 png_set_background(png_ptr, &my_background,
2525 PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0/*do not expand*/, 1);
2526
2527 The second call was described above - my_background is in the format of the
2528 final, display, output produced by libpng. Because you now know the format of
2529 the PNG it is possible to avoid the need to choose either 8-bit or 16-bit
2530 output and to retain palette images (the palette colors will be modified
2531 appropriately and the tRNS chunk removed.) However, if you are doing this,
2532 take great care not to ask for transformations without checking first that
2533 they apply!
2534
2535 In the first call the background color has the original bit depth and color type
2536 of the PNG file. So, for palette images the color is supplied as a palette
2537 index and for low bit greyscale images the color is a reduced bit value in
2538 image_background->gray.
2539
2540 If you didn't call png_set_gamma() before reading the file header, for example
2541 if you need your code to remain compatible with older versions of libpng prior
2542 to libpng-1.5.4, this is the place to call it.
2543
2544 Do not call it if you called png_set_alpha_mode(); doing so will damage the
2545 settings put in place by png_set_alpha_mode(). (If png_set_alpha_mode() is
2546 supported then you can certainly do png_set_gamma() before reading the PNG
2547 header.)
2548
2549 This API unconditionally sets the screen and file gamma values, so it will
2550 override the value in the PNG file unless it is called before the PNG file
2551 reading starts. For this reason you must always call it with the PNG file
2552 value when you call it in this position:
2553
2554 if (png_get_gAMA(png_ptr, info_ptr, &file_gamma))
2555 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, file_gamma);
2556
2557 else
2558 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 0.45455);
2559
2560 If you need to reduce an RGB file to a paletted file, or if a paletted
2561 file has more entries than will fit on your screen, png_set_quantize()
2562 will do that. Note that this is a simple match quantization that merely
2563 finds the closest color available. This should work fairly well with
2564 optimized palettes, but fairly badly with linear color cubes. If you
2565 pass a palette that is larger than maximum_colors, the file will
2566 reduce the number of colors in the palette so it will fit into
2567 maximum_colors. If there is a histogram, libpng will use it to make
2568 more intelligent choices when reducing the palette. If there is no
2569 histogram, it may not do as good a job.
2570
2571 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR)
2572 {
2573 if (png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr,
2574 PNG_INFO_PLTE))
2575 {
2576 png_uint_16p histogram = NULL;
2577
2578 png_get_hIST(png_ptr, info_ptr,
2579 &histogram);
2580 png_set_quantize(png_ptr, palette, num_palette,
2581 max_screen_colors, histogram, 1);
2582 }
2583
2584 else
2585 {
2586 png_color std_color_cube[MAX_SCREEN_COLORS] =
2587 { ... colors ... };
2588
2589 png_set_quantize(png_ptr, std_color_cube,
2590 MAX_SCREEN_COLORS, MAX_SCREEN_COLORS,
2591 NULL,0);
2592 }
2593 }
2594
2595 PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being one.
2596 The following code will reverse this (make black be one and white be
2597 zero):
2598
2599 if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2600 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2601
2602 This function can also be used to invert grayscale and gray-alpha images:
2603
2604 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
2605 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
2606 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2607
2608 PNG files store 16-bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
2609 ie. most significant bits first). This code changes the storage to the
2610 other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits first, the
2611 way PCs store them):
2612
2613 if (bit_depth == 16)
2614 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
2615
2616 If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
2617 need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
2618
2619 if (bit_depth < 8)
2620 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
2621
2622 Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
2623 the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
2624 with
2625
2626 png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
2627 read_transform_fn);
2628
2629 You must supply the function
2630
2631 void read_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
2632 row_info, png_bytep data)
2633
2634 See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
2635 after all of the other transformations have been processed. Take care with
2636 interlaced images if you do the interlace yourself - the width of the row is the
2637 width in 'row_info', not the overall image width.
2638
2639 If supported, libpng provides two information routines that you can use to find
2640 where you are in processing the image:
2641
2642 png_get_current_pass_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2643 png_get_current_row_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2644
2645 Don't try using these outside a transform callback - firstly they are only
2646 supported if user transforms are supported, secondly they may well return
2647 unexpected results unless the row is actually being processed at the moment they
2648 are called.
2649
2650 With interlaced
2651 images the value returned is the row in the input sub-image image. Use
2652 PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(row, pass) and PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(col, pass) to
2653 find the output pixel (x,y) given an interlaced sub-image pixel (row,col,pass).
2654
2655 The discussion of interlace handling above contains more information on how to
2656 use these values.
2657
2658 You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
2659 callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
2660 function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
2661 function
2662
2663 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
2664 user_depth, user_channels);
2665
2666 The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
2667 freeing any memory required for the user structure.
2668
2669 You can retrieve the pointer via the function
2670 png_get_user_transform_ptr(). For example:
2671
2672 voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
2673 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
2674
2675 The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
2676 but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
2677 of the interlaced image.
2678
2679 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2680
2681 After setting the transformations, libpng can update your png_info
2682 structure to reflect any transformations you've requested with this
2683 call.
2684
2685 png_read_update_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2686
2687 This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes
2688 field so you can use it to allocate your image memory. This function
2689 will also update your palette with the correct screen_gamma and
2690 background if these have been given with the calls above. You may
2691 only call png_read_update_info() once with a particular info_ptr.
2692
2693 After you call png_read_update_info(), you can allocate any
2694 memory you need to hold the image. The row data is simply
2695 raw byte data for all forms of images. As the actual allocation
2696 varies among applications, no example will be given. If you
2697 are allocating one large chunk, you will need to build an
2698 array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
2699 of the functions below.
2700
2701 Be sure that your platform can allocate the buffer that you'll need.
2702 libpng internally checks for oversize width, but you'll need to
2703 do your own check for number_of_rows*width*pixel_size if you are using
2704 a multiple-row buffer:
2705
2706 /* Guard against integer overflow */
2707 if (number_of_rows > PNG_SIZE_MAX/(width*pixel_size))
2708 png_error(png_ptr, "image_data buffer would be too large");
2709
2710 Remember: Before you call png_read_update_info(), the png_get_*()
2711 functions return the values corresponding to the original PNG image.
2712 After you call png_read_update_info the values refer to the image
2713 that libpng will output. Consequently you must call all the png_set_
2714 functions before you call png_read_update_info(). This is particularly
2715 important for png_set_interlace_handling() - if you are going to call
2716 png_read_update_info() you must call png_set_interlace_handling() before
2717 it unless you want to receive interlaced output.
2718
2719 .SS Reading image data
2720
2721 After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
2722 The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you are
2723 allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
2724 call png_read_image() and libpng will read in all the image data
2725 and put it in the memory area supplied. You will need to pass in
2726 an array of pointers to each row.
2727
2728 This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
2729 need to call png_set_interlace_handling() (unless you call
2730 png_read_update_info()) or call this function multiple times, or any
2731 of that other stuff necessary with png_read_rows().
2732
2733 png_read_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
2734
2735 where row_pointers is:
2736
2737 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
2738
2739 You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
2740
2741 If you don't want to read in the whole image at once, you can
2742 use png_read_rows() instead. If there is no interlacing (check
2743 interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_NONE), this is simple:
2744
2745 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
2746 number_of_rows);
2747
2748 where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
2749
2750 If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with
2751 a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
2752
2753 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
2754 png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);
2755
2756 If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things
2757 get somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2)
2758 interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7);
2759 a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that
2760 breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based
2761 on an 8x8 grid. This number is defined (from libpng 1.5) as
2762 PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES in png.h
2763
2764 libpng can fill out those images or it can give them to you "as is".
2765 It is almost always better to have libpng handle the interlacing for you.
2766 If you want the images filled out, there are two ways to do that. The one
2767 mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover
2768 those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method).
2769 This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually
2770 smooths out as more pixels are read. The other method is the "sparkle"
2771 method, where pixels are drawn only in their final locations, with the
2772 rest of the image remaining whatever colors they were initialized to
2773 before the start of the read. The first method usually looks better,
2774 but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows.
2775
2776 If, as is likely, you want libpng to expand the images, call this before
2777 calling png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info():
2778
2779 if (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
2780 number_of_passes
2781 = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2782
2783 This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
2784 but may change if another interlace type is added. This function can be
2785 called even if the file is not interlaced, where it will return one pass.
2786 You then need to read the whole image 'number_of_passes' times. Each time
2787 will distribute the pixels from the current pass to the correct place in
2788 the output image, so you need to supply the same rows to png_read_rows in
2789 each pass.
2790
2791 If you are not going to display the image after each pass, but are
2792 going to wait until the entire image is read in, use the sparkle
2793 effect. This effect is faster and the end result of either method
2794 is exactly the same. If you are planning on displaying the image
2795 after each pass, the "rectangle" effect is generally considered the
2796 better looking one.
2797
2798 If you only want the "sparkle" effect, just call png_read_row() or
2799 png_read_rows() as
2800 normal, with the third parameter NULL. Make sure you make pass over
2801 the image number_of_passes times, and you don't change the data in the
2802 rows between calls. You can change the locations of the data, just
2803 not the data. Each pass only writes the pixels appropriate for that
2804 pass, and assumes the data from previous passes is still valid.
2805
2806 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
2807 number_of_rows);
2808 or
2809 png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL);
2810
2811 If you only want the first effect (the rectangles), do the same as
2812 before except pass the row buffer in the third parameter, and leave
2813 the second parameter NULL.
2814
2815 png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
2816 number_of_rows);
2817 or
2818 png_read_row(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers);
2819
2820 If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
2821 png_read_rows() PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES times to read in all the images.
2822 Each of the images is a valid image by itself; however, you will almost
2823 certainly need to distribute the pixels from each sub-image to the
2824 correct place. This is where everything gets very tricky.
2825
2826 If you want to retrieve the separate images you must pass the correct
2827 number of rows to each successive call of png_read_rows(). The calculation
2828 gets pretty complicated for small images, where some sub-images may
2829 not even exist because either their width or height ends up zero.
2830 libpng provides two macros to help you in 1.5 and later versions:
2831
2832 png_uint_32 width = PNG_PASS_COLS(image_width, pass_number);
2833 png_uint_32 height = PNG_PASS_ROWS(image_height, pass_number);
2834
2835 Respectively these tell you the width and height of the sub-image
2836 corresponding to the numbered pass. 'pass' is in in the range 0 to 6 -
2837 this can be confusing because the specification refers to the same passes
2838 as 1 to 7! Be careful, you must check both the width and height before
2839 calling png_read_rows() and not call it for that pass if either is zero.
2840
2841 You can, of course, read each sub-image row by row. If you want to
2842 produce optimal code to make a pixel-by-pixel transformation of an
2843 interlaced image this is the best approach; read each row of each pass,
2844 transform it, and write it out to a new interlaced image.
2845
2846 If you want to de-interlace the image yourself libpng provides further
2847 macros to help that tell you where to place the pixels in the output image.
2848 Because the interlacing scheme is rectangular - sub-image pixels are always
2849 arranged on a rectangular grid - all you need to know for each pass is the
2850 starting column and row in the output image of the first pixel plus the
2851 spacing between each pixel. As of libpng 1.5 there are four macros to
2852 retrieve this information:
2853
2854 png_uint_32 x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2855 png_uint_32 y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2856 png_uint_32 xStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_COL_SHIFT(pass);
2857 png_uint_32 yStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_ROW_SHIFT(pass);
2858
2859 These allow you to write the obvious loop:
2860
2861 png_uint_32 input_y = 0;
2862 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2863
2864 while (output_y < output_image_height)
2865 {
2866 png_uint_32 input_x = 0;
2867 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2868
2869 while (output_x < output_image_width)
2870 {
2871 image[output_y][output_x] =
2872 subimage[pass][input_y][input_x++];
2873
2874 output_x += xStep;
2875 }
2876
2877 ++input_y;
2878 output_y += yStep;
2879 }
2880
2881 Notice that the steps between successive output rows and columns are
2882 returned as shifts. This is possible because the pixels in the subimages
2883 are always a power of 2 apart - 1, 2, 4 or 8 pixels - in the original
2884 image. In practice you may need to directly calculate the output coordinate
2885 given an input coordinate. libpng provides two further macros for this
2886 purpose:
2887
2888 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(input_x, pass);
2889 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(input_y, pass);
2890
2891 Finally a pair of macros are provided to tell you if a particular image
2892 row or column appears in a given pass:
2893
2894 int col_in_pass = PNG_COL_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_x, pass);
2895 int row_in_pass = PNG_ROW_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_y, pass);
2896
2897 Bear in mind that you will probably also need to check the width and height
2898 of the pass in addition to the above to be sure the pass even exists!
2899
2900 With any luck you are convinced by now that you don't want to do your own
2901 interlace handling. In reality normally the only good reason for doing this
2902 is if you are processing PNG files on a pixel-by-pixel basis and don't want
2903 to load the whole file into memory when it is interlaced.
2904
2905 libpng includes a test program, pngvalid, that illustrates reading and
2906 writing of interlaced images. If you can't get interlacing to work in your
2907 code and don't want to leave it to libpng (the recommended approach), see
2908 how pngvalid.c does it.
2909
2910 .SS Finishing a sequential read
2911
2912 After you are finished reading the image through the
2913 low-level interface, you can finish reading the file.
2914
2915 If you want to use a different crc action for handling CRC errors in
2916 chunks after the image data, you can call png_set_crc_action()
2917 again at this point.
2918
2919 If you are interested in comments or time, which may be stored either
2920 before or after the image data, you should pass the separate png_info
2921 struct if you want to keep the comments from before and after the image
2922 separate.
2923
2924 png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
2925
2926 if (!end_info)
2927 {
2928 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr, NULL);
2929 return ERROR;
2930 }
2931
2932 png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
2933
2934 If you are not interested, you should still call png_read_end()
2935 but you can pass NULL, avoiding the need to create an end_info structure.
2936 If you do this, libpng will not process any chunks after IDAT other than
2937 skipping over them and perhaps (depending on whether you have called
2938 png_set_crc_action) checking their CRCs while looking for the IEND chunk.
2939
2940 png_read_end(png_ptr, NULL);
2941
2942 If you don't call png_read_end(), then your file pointer will be
2943 left pointing to the first chunk after the last IDAT, which is probably
2944 not what you want if you expect to read something beyond the end of
2945 the PNG datastream.
2946
2947 When you are done, you can free all memory allocated by libpng like this:
2948
2949 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr, &end_info);
2950
2951 or, if you didn't create an end_info structure,
2952
2953 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr, NULL);
2954
2955 It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
2956 point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
2957
2958 png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
2959
2960 mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
2961 containing the bitwise OR of one or
2962 more of
2963 PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
2964 PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
2965 PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
2966 PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
2967 PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
2968 or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
2969
2970 seq - sequence number of item to be freed
2971 (\-1 for all items)
2972
2973 This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
2974 already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
2975 by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
2976 The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
2977 type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not \-1, and multiple items
2978 are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
2979 sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
2980
2981 The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
2982 by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
2983 or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
2984 or png_calloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
2985
2986 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
2987
2988 freer - one of
2989 PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
2990 PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
2991 PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
2992
2993 mask - which data elements are affected
2994 same choices as in png_free_data()
2995
2996 This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
2997 You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling
2998 any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
2999 function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
3000 and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
3001 or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes
3002 responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
3003 png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
3004 for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
3005 or png_calloc() to allocate it.
3006
3007 If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
3008 the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
3009 responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
3010 because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
3011
3012 If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
3013 separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
3014 because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
3015 the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
3016 if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
3017 application, your application must not separately free those members.
3018
3019 The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
3020 it frees. If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by
3021 your application instead of by libpng, you can use
3022
3023 png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);
3024
3025 mask - identifies the chunks to be made invalid,
3026 containing the bitwise OR of one or
3027 more of
3028 PNG_INFO_gAMA, PNG_INFO_sBIT,
3029 PNG_INFO_cHRM, PNG_INFO_PLTE,
3030 PNG_INFO_tRNS, PNG_INFO_bKGD,
3031 PNG_INFO_eXIf,
3032 PNG_INFO_hIST, PNG_INFO_pHYs,
3033 PNG_INFO_oFFs, PNG_INFO_tIME,
3034 PNG_INFO_pCAL, PNG_INFO_sRGB,
3035 PNG_INFO_iCCP, PNG_INFO_sPLT,
3036 PNG_INFO_sCAL, PNG_INFO_IDAT

3040 .SS Reading PNG files progressively
3041
3042 The progressive reader is slightly different from the non-progressive
3043 reader. Instead of calling png_read_info(), png_read_rows(), and
3044 png_read_end(), you make one call to png_process_data(), which calls
3045 callbacks when it has the info, a row, or the end of the image. You
3046 set up these callbacks with png_set_progressive_read_fn(). You don't
3047 have to worry about the input/output functions of libpng, as you are
3048 giving the library the data directly in png_process_data(). I will
3049 assume that you have read the section on reading PNG files above,
3050 so I will only highlight the differences (although I will show
3051 all of the code).

3242

3245 back up in the reading section to understand writing.
3246
3247 .SS Setup
3248
3249 You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
3250 so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
3251 using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
3252 custom writing functions. See the discussion under Customizing libpng.

3261 on the stack, unless you have stack space to spare. Of course, you
3262 will want to check if they return NULL. If you are also reading,
3263 you won't want to name your read structure and your write structure
3264 both "png_ptr"; you can call them anything you like, such as
3265 "read_ptr" and "write_ptr". Look at pngtest.c, for example.

3286 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
3287 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
3288 user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
3289
3290 After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
3291 error handling. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
3292 longjmp() back to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call
3293 setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you
3294 write the file from different routines, you will need to update
3295 the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
3296 call a png_*() function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
3297 for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp. See
3298 the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
3299 section below for more information on the libpng error handling.
3300
3301 if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
3302 {
3303 png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
3304 fclose(fp);
3305 return ERROR;
3306 }
3307 ...
3308 return;
3309
3310 If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
3311 you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
3312 errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
3313
3314 You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
3315 more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
3316 return.
3317
3318 Checking for invalid palette index on write was added at libpng
3319 1.5.10. If a pixel contains an invalid (out-of-range) index libpng issues
3320 a benign error. This is enabled by default because this condition is an
3321 error according to the PNG specification, Clause 11.3.2, but the error can
3322 be ignored in each png_ptr with
3323
3324 png_set_check_for_invalid_index(png_ptr, 0);
3325
3326 If the error is ignored, or if png_benign_error() treats it as a warning,
3327 any invalid pixels are written as-is by the encoder, resulting in an
3328 invalid PNG datastream as output. In this case the application is
3329 responsible for ensuring that the pixel indexes are in range when it writes
3330 a PLTE chunk with fewer entries than the bit depth would allow.
3331
3332 Now you need to set up the output code. The default for libpng is to
3333 use the C function fwrite(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
3334 valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
3335 opened in binary mode. Again, if you wish to handle writing data in
3336 another way, see the discussion on libpng I/O handling in the Customizing
3337 Libpng section below.
3338
3339 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
3340
3341 If you are embedding your PNG into a datastream such as MNG, and don't
3342 want libpng to write the 8-byte signature, or if you have already
3343 written the signature in your application, use
3344
3345 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, 8);
3346
3347 to inform libpng that it should not write a signature.
3348
3349 .SS Write callbacks
3350
3351 At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
3352 called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
3353 a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
3354 You must supply a function
3355
3356 void write_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 row,
3357 int pass)
3358 {
3359 /* put your code here */
3360 }
3361
3362 (You can give it another name that you like instead of "write_row_callback")
3363
3364 To inform libpng about your function, use
3365
3366 png_set_write_status_fn(png_ptr, write_row_callback);
3367
3368 When this function is called the row has already been completely processed and
3369 it has also been written out. The 'row' and 'pass' refer to the next row to be
3370 handled. For the
3371 non-interlaced case the row that was just handled is simply one less than the
3372 passed in row number, and pass will always be 0. For the interlaced case the
3373 same applies unless the row value is 0, in which case the row just handled was
3374 the last one from one of the preceding passes. Because interlacing may skip a
3375 pass you cannot be sure that the preceding pass is just 'pass\-1', if you really
3376 need to know what the last pass is record (row,pass) from the callback and use
3377 the last recorded value each time.
3378
3379 As with the user transform you can find the output row using the
3380 PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW macro.
3381
3382 You now have the option of modifying how the compression library will
3383 run. The following functions are mainly for testing, but may be useful
3384 in some cases, like if you need to write PNG files extremely fast and
3385 are willing to give up some compression, or if you want to get the
3386 maximum possible compression at the expense of slower writing. If you
3387 have no special needs in this area, let the library do what it wants by
3388 not calling this function at all, as it has been tuned to deliver a good
3389 speed/compression ratio. The second parameter to png_set_filter() is
3390 the filter method, for which the only valid values are 0 (as of the
3391 July 1999 PNG specification, version 1.2) or 64 (if you are writing
3392 a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG datastream). The third
3393 parameter is a flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested
3394 for each scanline. See the PNG specification for details on the specific
3395 filter types.
3396
3397
3398 /* turn on or off filtering, and/or choose
3399 specific filters. You can use either a single
3400 PNG_FILTER_VALUE_NAME or the bitwise OR of one
3401 or more PNG_FILTER_NAME masks.
3402 */
3403 png_set_filter(png_ptr, 0,
3404 PNG_FILTER_NONE | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_NONE |
3405 PNG_FILTER_SUB | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_SUB |
3406 PNG_FILTER_UP | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_UP |
3407 PNG_FILTER_AVG | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_AVG |
3408 PNG_FILTER_PAETH | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_PAETH|
3409 PNG_ALL_FILTERS | PNG_FAST_FILTERS);
3410
3411 If an application wants to start and stop using particular filters during
3412 compression, it should start out with all of the filters (to ensure that
3413 the previous row of pixels will be stored in case it's needed later),
3414 and then add and remove them after the start of compression.
3415
3416 If you are writing a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG
3417 datastream, the second parameter can be either 0 or 64.
3418
3419 The png_set_compression_*() functions interface to the zlib compression
3420 library, and should mostly be ignored unless you really know what you are
3421 doing. The only generally useful call is png_set_compression_level()
3422 which changes how much time zlib spends on trying to compress the image
3423 data. See the Compression Library (zlib.h and algorithm.txt, distributed
3424 with zlib) for details on the compression levels.
3425
3426 #include zlib.h
3427
3428 /* Set the zlib compression level */
3429 png_set_compression_level(png_ptr,
3430 Z_BEST_COMPRESSION);
3431
3432 /* Set other zlib parameters for compressing IDAT */
3433 png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, 8);

3442 * fall back on those defined for IDAT chunks
3443 */

3445 png_set_text_compression_strategy(png_ptr,
3446 Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY);
3447 png_set_text_compression_window_bits(png_ptr, 15);
3448 png_set_text_compression_method(png_ptr, 8);
3449
3450 .SS Setting the contents of info for output
3451
3452 You now need to fill in the png_info structure with all the data you
3453 wish to write before the actual image. Note that the only thing you
3454 are allowed to write after the image is the text chunks and the time
3455 chunk (as of PNG Specification 1.2, anyway). See png_write_end() and
3456 the latest PNG specification for more information on that. If you
3457 wish to write them before the image, fill them in now, and flag that
3458 data as being valid. If you want to wait until after the data, don't
3459 fill them until png_write_end(). For all the fields in png_info and
3460 their data types, see png.h. For explanations of what the fields
3461 contain, see the PNG specification.
3462
3463 Some of the more important parts of the png_info are:
3464
3465 png_set_IHDR(png_ptr, info_ptr, width, height,
3466 bit_depth, color_type, interlace_type,
3467 compression_type, filter_method)
3468
3469 width - holds the width of the image
3470 in pixels (up to 2^31).
3471
3472 height - holds the height of the image
3473 in pixels (up to 2^31).
3474
3475 bit_depth - holds the bit depth of one of the
3476 image channels.
3477 (valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
3478 and depend also on the
3479 color_type. See also significant
3480 bits (sBIT) below).
3481
3482 color_type - describes which color/alpha
3483 channels are present.
3484 PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY
3485 (bit depths 1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
3486 PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA
3487 (bit depths 8, 16)
3488 PNG_COLOR_TYPE_PALETTE
3489 (bit depths 1, 2, 4, 8)
3490 PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB
3491 (bit_depths 8, 16)
3492 PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA
3493 (bit_depths 8, 16)
3494
3495 PNG_COLOR_MASK_PALETTE
3496 PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR
3497 PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA
3498
3499 interlace_type - PNG_INTERLACE_NONE or
3500 PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7
3501
3502 compression_type - (must be
3503 PNG_COMPRESSION_TYPE_DEFAULT)
3504
3505 filter_method - (must be PNG_FILTER_TYPE_DEFAULT
3506 or, if you are writing a PNG to
3507 be embedded in a MNG datastream,
3508 can also be
3509 PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING)
3510
3511 If you call png_set_IHDR(), the call must appear before any of the
3512 other png_set_*() functions, because they might require access to some of
3513 the IHDR settings. The remaining png_set_*() functions can be called
3514 in any order.
3515
3516 If you wish, you can reset the compression_type, interlace_type, or
3517 filter_method later by calling png_set_IHDR() again; if you do this, the
3518 width, height, bit_depth, and color_type must be the same in each call.

3559 png_set_sRGB(png_ptr, info_ptr, srgb_intent);
3560
3561 srgb_intent - the rendering intent
3562 (PNG_INFO_sRGB) The presence of
3563 the sRGB chunk means that the pixel
3564 data is in the sRGB color space.
3565 This chunk also implies specific
3566 values of gAMA and cHRM. Rendering
3567 intent is the CSS-1 property that
3568 has been defined by the International
3569 Color Consortium
3570 (http://www.color.org).
3571 It can be one of
3572 PNG_sRGB_INTENT_SATURATION,

3581 srgb_intent - the rendering intent
3582 (PNG_INFO_sRGB) The presence of the
3583 sRGB chunk means that the pixel
3584 data is in the sRGB color space.
3585 This function also causes gAMA and
3586 cHRM chunks with the specific values
3587 that are consistent with sRGB to be
3588 written.

3669
3670 Note that the itxt_length, lang, and lang_key
3671 members of the text_ptr structure only exist when the
3672 library is built with iTXt chunk support. Prior to
3673 libpng-1.4.0 the library was built by default without
3674 iTXt support. Also note that when iTXt is supported,
3675 they contain NULL pointers when the "compression"
3676 field contains PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or
3677 PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt.
3678

3736 structures holding unknown chunks
3737 unknowns[i].name - name of unknown chunk
3738 unknowns[i].data - data of unknown chunk
3739 unknowns[i].size - size of unknown chunk's data
3740 unknowns[i].location - position to write chunk in file
3741 0: do not write chunk
3742 PNG_HAVE_IHDR: before PLTE
3743 PNG_HAVE_PLTE: before IDAT
3744 PNG_AFTER_IDAT: after IDAT
3745
3746 The "location" member is set automatically according to
3747 what part of the output file has already been written.
3748 You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
3749 as demonstrated in pngtest.c. Within each of the "locations",
3750 the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
3751 structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
3752 the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
3753 png_set_unknown_chunks).
3754
3755 A quick word about text and num_text. text is an array of png_text
3756 structures. num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
3757 Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
3758 and a compression type.
3759
3760 The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
3761 types of the image data. Currently, the only valid number is zero.
3762 However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
3763 images, which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
3764 text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
3765 Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
3766 specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
3767 any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
3768
3769 Until text gets around a few hundred bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
3770 After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
3771 is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
3772 so that it isn't written out again at the end (in case you are calling
3773 png_write_end() with the same struct).
3774
3775 The keywords that are given in the PNG Specification are:
3776
3777 Title Short (one line) title or
3778 caption for image

3800 The keyword-text pairs work like this. Keywords should be short
3801 simple descriptions of what the comment is about. Some typical
3802 keywords are found in the PNG specification, as is some recommendations
3803 on keywords. You can repeat keywords in a file. You can even write
3804 some text before the image and some after. For example, you may want
3805 to put a description of the image before the image, but leave the
3806 disclaimer until after, so viewers working over modem connections
3807 don't have to wait for the disclaimer to go over the modem before
3808 they start seeing the image. Finally, keywords should be full
3809 words, not abbreviations. Keywords and text are in the ISO 8859-1
3810 (Latin-1) character set (a superset of regular ASCII) and can not
3811 contain NUL characters, and should not contain control or other
3812 unprintable characters. To make the comments widely readable, stick
3813 with basic ASCII, and avoid machine specific character set extensions
3814 like the IBM-PC character set. The keyword must be present, but
3815 you can leave off the text string on non-compressed pairs.
3816 Compressed pairs must have a text string, as only the text string
3817 is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
3818
3819 PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two
3820 conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
3821 time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The
3822 time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of
3823 these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
3824 you should provide the time in universal time (GMT) if possible
3825 instead of your local time. Note that the year number is the full
3826 year (e.g. 1998, rather than 98 - PNG is year 2000 compliant!), and
3827 that months start with 1.
3828
3829 If you want to store the time of the original image creation, you should
3830 use a plain tEXt chunk with the "Creation Time" keyword. This is
3831 necessary because the "creation time" of a PNG image is somewhat vague,
3832 depending on whether you mean the PNG file, the time the image was
3833 created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
3834 scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate
3835 machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
3836 tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
3837 although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the
3838 "Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
3839 by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
3840 png_convert_to_rfc1123_buffer(buffer, png_timep) is provided to
3841 convert from PNG time to an RFC 1123 format string. The caller must provide
3842 a writeable buffer of at least 29 bytes.
3843
3844 .SS Writing unknown chunks
3845
3846 You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up private chunks
3847 for writing. You give it a chunk name, location, raw data, and a size. You
3848 also must use png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() to ensure that libpng will
3849 handle them. That's all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the
3850 next following png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end
3851 function, depending upon the specified location. Any chunks previously
3852 read into the info structure's unknown-chunk list will also be written out
3853 in a sequence that satisfies the PNG specification's ordering rules.
3854
3855 Here is an example of writing two private chunks, prVt and miNE:
3856
3857 #ifdef PNG_WRITE_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED
3858 /* Set unknown chunk data */
3859 png_unknown_chunk unk_chunk[2];
3860 strcpy((char *) unk_chunk[0].name, "prVt";
3861 unk_chunk[0].data = (unsigned char *) "PRIVATE DATA";
3862 unk_chunk[0].size = strlen(unk_chunk[0].data)+1;
3863 unk_chunk[0].location = PNG_HAVE_IHDR;
3864 strcpy((char *) unk_chunk[1].name, "miNE";
3865 unk_chunk[1].data = (unsigned char *) "MY CHUNK DATA";
3866 unk_chunk[1].size = strlen(unk_chunk[0].data)+1;
3867 unk_chunk[1].location = PNG_AFTER_IDAT;
3868 png_set_unknown_chunks(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
3869 unk_chunk, 2);
3870 /* Needed because miNE is not safe-to-copy */
3871 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png, PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS,
3872 (png_bytep) "miNE", 1);
3873 # if PNG_LIBPNG_VER < 10600
3874 /* Deal with unknown chunk location bug in 1.5.x and earlier */
3875 png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 0, PNG_HAVE_IHDR);
3876 png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 1, PNG_AFTER_IDAT);
3877 # endif
3878 # if PNG_LIBPNG_VER < 10500
3879 /* PNG_AFTER_IDAT writes two copies of the chunk prior to libpng-1.5.0,
3880 * one before IDAT and another after IDAT, so don't use it; only use
3881 * PNG_HAVE_IHDR location. This call resets the location previously
3882 * set by assignment and png_set_unknown_chunk_location() for chunk 1.
3883 */
3884 png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 1, PNG_HAVE_IHDR);
3885 # endif
3886 #endif
3887
3888 .SS The high-level write interface
3889
3890 At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
3891 write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
3892 You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
3893 in the info structure. All defined output
3894 transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
3895
3896 PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
3897 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Pack 1, 2 and 4-bit samples
3898 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
3899 pixels to LSB first
3900 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
3901 PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
3902 sBIT depth
3903 PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
3904 to BGRA
3905 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
3906 to AG
3907 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
3908 to transparency
3909 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
3910 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER Strip out filler
3911 bytes (deprecated).
3912 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_BEFORE Strip out leading
3913 filler bytes
3914 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_AFTER Strip out trailing
3915 filler bytes
3916
3917 If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
3918 png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
3919
3920 png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
3921
3922 where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
3923 transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
3924 followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
3925 then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
3926
3927 (The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
3928 to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
3929
3930 You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
3931 when you use png_write_png().
3932
3933 .SS The low-level write interface
3934
3935 If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
3936 write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do
3937 this with a call to png_write_info().
3938
3939 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3940
3941 Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
3942 png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
3943 level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency,
3944 you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is
3945 fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535
3946 (in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
3947
3948 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
3949
3950 This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
3951 other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
3952 chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If
3953 your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
3954 represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
3955 be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
3956 png_write_info() call.
3957
3958 If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
3959 the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
3960 two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
3961
3962 png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3963 png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
3964 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3965
3966 After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
3967 to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
3968 ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
3969 should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
3970 type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
3971 certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
3972 checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
3973 make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
3974 data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
3975
3976 PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells
3977 the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down
3978 to 3 or 6 bytes (or strip 2 or 4-byte grayscale+filler data to 1 or 2
3979 bytes per pixel).
3980
3981 png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
3982
3983 where the 0 is unused, and the location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or
3984 PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether the filler byte in the pixel
3985 is stored XRGB or RGBX.
3986
3987 PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
3988 they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.
3989 If the data is supplied at 1 pixel per byte, use this code, which will
3990 correctly pack the pixels into a single byte:
3991
3992 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
3993
3994 PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. If your
3995 data is of another bit depth, you can write an sBIT chunk into the
3996 file so that decoders can recover the original data if desired.
3997
3998 /* Set the true bit depth of the image data */
3999 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR)
4000 {
4001 sig_bit.red = true_bit_depth;
4002 sig_bit.green = true_bit_depth;
4003 sig_bit.blue = true_bit_depth;
4004 }
4005
4006 else
4007 {
4008 sig_bit.gray = true_bit_depth;
4009 }
4010
4011 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
4012 {
4013 sig_bit.alpha = true_bit_depth;
4014 }
4015
4016 png_set_sBIT(png_ptr, info_ptr, &sig_bit);
4017
4018 If the data is stored in the row buffer in a bit depth other than
4019 one supported by PNG (e.g. 3 bit data in the range 0-7 for a 4-bit PNG),
4020 this will scale the values to appear to be the correct bit depth as
4021 is required by PNG.
4022
4023 png_set_shift(png_ptr, &sig_bit);
4024
4025 PNG files store 16-bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
4026 ie. most significant bits first). This code would be used if they are
4027 supplied the other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits
4028 first, the way PCs store them):
4029
4030 if (bit_depth > 8)
4031 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
4032
4033 If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
4034 need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
4035
4036 if (bit_depth < 8)
4037 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
4038
4039 PNG files store 3 color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
4040 would be used if they are supplied as blue, green, red:
4041
4042 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
4043
4044 PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being
4045 one. This code would be used if the pixels are supplied with this reversed
4046 (black being one and white being zero):
4047
4048 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
4049
4050 Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
4051 the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
4052 with
4053
4054 png_set_write_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
4055 write_transform_fn);
4056
4057 You must supply the function
4058
4059 void write_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
4060 row_info, png_bytep data)
4061
4062 See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
4063 before any of the other transformations are processed. If supported
4064 libpng also supplies an information routine that may be called from
4065 your callback:
4066
4067 png_get_current_row_number(png_ptr);
4068 png_get_current_pass_number(png_ptr);
4069
4070 This returns the current row passed to the transform. With interlaced
4071 images the value returned is the row in the input sub-image image. Use
4072 PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(row, pass) and PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(col, pass) to
4073 find the output pixel (x,y) given an interlaced sub-image pixel (row,col,pass).
4074
4075 The discussion of interlace handling above contains more information on how to
4076 use these values.
4077
4078 You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
4079 callback function.
4080
4081 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
4082
4083 The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
4084 when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
4085
4086 You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
4087 For example:
4088
4089 voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
4090 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
4091
4092 It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
4093 or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To
4094 flush the output stream a single time call:
4095
4096 png_write_flush(png_ptr);
4097
4098 and to have libpng flush the output stream periodically after a certain
4099 number of scanlines have been written, call:
4100
4101 png_set_flush(png_ptr, nrows);
4102
4103 Note that the distance between rows is from the last time png_write_flush()
4104 was called, or the first row of the image if it has never been called.
4105 So if you write 50 lines, and then png_set_flush 25, it will flush the
4106 output on the next scanline, and every 25 lines thereafter, unless
4107 png_write_flush() is called before 25 more lines have been written.
4108 If nrows is too small (less than about 10 lines for a 640 pixel wide
4109 RGB image) the image compression may decrease noticeably (although this
4110 may be acceptable for real-time applications). Infrequent flushing will
4111 only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
4112 that do not use flushing.
4113
4114 .SS Writing the image data
4115
4116 That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data.
4117 The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the
4118 whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
4119 will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
4120 each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
4121 need to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
4122 times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_write_rows().
4123
4124 png_write_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
4125
4126 where row_pointers is:
4127
4128 png_byte *row_pointers[height];
4129
4130 You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
4131
4132 If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can
4133 use png_write_rows() instead. If the file is not interlaced,
4134 this is simple:
4135
4136 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,
4137 number_of_rows);
4138
4139 row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
4140
4141 If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
4142 a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
4143
4144 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
4145
4146 png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
4147
4148 When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more complicated.
4149 The only currently (as of the PNG Specification version 1.2, dated July
4150 1999) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files is the "Adam7" interlace
4151 scheme, that breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying
4152 size. libpng will build these images for you, or you can do them
4153 yourself. If you want to build them yourself, see the PNG specification
4154 for details of which pixels to write when.
4155
4156 If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just
4157 use png_set_interlace_handling() and call png_write_rows() the
4158 correct number of times to write all the sub-images
4159 (png_set_interlace_handling() returns the number of sub-images.)
4160
4161 If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start
4162 writing any rows:
4163
4164 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
4165
4166 This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
4167 but may change if another interlace type is added.
4168
4169 Then write the complete image number_of_passes times.
4170
4171 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, number_of_rows);
4172
4173 Think carefully before you write an interlaced image. Typically code that
4174 reads such images reads all the image data into memory, uncompressed, before
4175 doing any processing. Only code that can display an image on the fly can
4176 take advantage of the interlacing and even then the image has to be exactly
4177 the correct size for the output device, because scaling an image requires
4178 adjacent pixels and these are not available until all the passes have been
4179 read.
4180
4181 If you do write an interlaced image you will hardly ever need to handle
4182 the interlacing yourself. Call png_set_interlace_handling() and use the
4183 approach described above.
4184
4185 The only time it is conceivable that you will really need to write an
4186 interlaced image pass-by-pass is when you have read one pass by pass and
4187 made some pixel-by-pixel transformation to it, as described in the read
4188 code above. In this case use the PNG_PASS_ROWS and PNG_PASS_COLS macros
4189 to determine the size of each sub-image in turn and simply write the rows
4190 you obtained from the read code.
4191
4192 .SS Finishing a sequential write
4193
4194 After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
4195 the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
4196 pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer. If you are not interested,
4197 you can pass NULL.
4198
4199 png_write_end(png_ptr, info_ptr);
4200
4201 When you are done, you can free all memory used by libpng like this:
4202
4203 png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
4204
4205 It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
4206 point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
4207
4208 png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
4209
4210 mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
4211 containing the bitwise OR of one or
4212 more of
4213 PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
4214 PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
4215 PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
4216 PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
4217 PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
4218 or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
4219
4220 seq - sequence number of item to be freed
4221 (\-1 for all items)
4222
4223 This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
4224 already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
4225 by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
4226 The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
4227 type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not \-1, and multiple items
4228 are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
4229 sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
4230
4231 If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng
4232 with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
4233 png_destroy_write_struct().
4234
4235 The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
4236 by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
4237 or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
4238 or png_calloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
4239
4240 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
4241
4242 freer - one of
4243 PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
4244 PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
4245 PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
4246
4247 mask - which data elements are affected
4248 same choices as in png_free_data()
4249
4250 For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
4251 to a write structure, you could use
4252
4253 png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
4254 PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
4255 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
4256
4257 png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
4258 PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
4259 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
4260
4261 thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
4262 immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
4263 function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
4264 structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
4265 structure.
4266
4267 This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
4268 You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
4269 to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
4270 When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
4271 application must use
4272 png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
4273 for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
4274 or png_calloc() to allocate it.
4275
4276 If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
4277 separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
4278 because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
4279 the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
4280 if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
4281 application, your application must not separately free those members.
4282 For a more compact example of writing a PNG image, see the file example.c.
4283
4284 .SH V. Simplified API
4285
4286 The simplified API, which became available in libpng-1.6.0, hides the details
4287 of both libpng and the PNG file format itself.
4288 It allows PNG files to be read into a very limited number of
4289 in-memory bitmap formats or to be written from the same formats. If these
4290 formats do not accommodate your needs then you can, and should, use the more
4291 sophisticated APIs above - these support a wide variety of in-memory formats
4292 and a wide variety of sophisticated transformations to those formats as well
4293 as a wide variety of APIs to manipulate ancillary information.
4294
4295 To read a PNG file using the simplified API:
4296
4297 1) Declare a 'png_image' structure (see below) on the stack, set the
4298 version field to PNG_IMAGE_VERSION and the 'opaque' pointer to NULL
4299 (this is REQUIRED, your program may crash if you don't do it.)
4300
4301 2) Call the appropriate png_image_begin_read... function.
4302
4303 3) Set the png_image 'format' member to the required sample format.
4304
4305 4) Allocate a buffer for the image and, if required, the color-map.
4306
4307 5) Call png_image_finish_read to read the image and, if required, the
4308 color-map into your buffers.
4309
4310 There are no restrictions on the format of the PNG input itself; all valid
4311 color types, bit depths, and interlace methods are acceptable, and the
4312 input image is transformed as necessary to the requested in-memory format
4313 during the png_image_finish_read() step. The only caveat is that if you
4314 request a color-mapped image from a PNG that is full-color or makes
4315 complex use of an alpha channel the transformation is extremely lossy and the
4316 result may look terrible.
4317
4318 To write a PNG file using the simplified API:
4319
4320 1) Declare a 'png_image' structure on the stack and memset()
4321 it to all zero.
4322
4323 2) Initialize the members of the structure that describe the
4324 image, setting the 'format' member to the format of the
4325 image samples.
4326
4327 3) Call the appropriate png_image_write... function with a
4328 pointer to the image and, if necessary, the color-map to write
4329 the PNG data.
4330
4331 png_image is a structure that describes the in-memory format of an image
4332 when it is being read or defines the in-memory format of an image that you
4333 need to write. The "png_image" structure contains the following members:
4334
4335 png_controlp opaque Initialize to NULL, free with png_image_free
4336 png_uint_32 version Set to PNG_IMAGE_VERSION
4337 png_uint_32 width Image width in pixels (columns)
4338 png_uint_32 height Image height in pixels (rows)
4339 png_uint_32 format Image format as defined below
4340 png_uint_32 flags A bit mask containing informational flags
4341 png_uint_32 colormap_entries; Number of entries in the color-map
4342 png_uint_32 warning_or_error;
4343 char message[64];
4344
4345 In the event of an error or warning the "warning_or_error"
4346 field will be set to a non-zero value and the 'message' field will contain
4347 a '\0' terminated string with the libpng error or warning message. If both
4348 warnings and an error were encountered, only the error is recorded. If there
4349 are multiple warnings, only the first one is recorded.
4350
4351 The upper 30 bits of the "warning_or_error" value are reserved; the low two
4352 bits contain a two bit code such that a value more than 1 indicates a failure
4353 in the API just called:
4354
4355 0 - no warning or error
4356 1 - warning
4357 2 - error
4358 3 - error preceded by warning
4359
4360 The pixels (samples) of the image have one to four channels whose components
4361 have original values in the range 0 to 1.0:
4362
4363 1: A single gray or luminance channel (G).
4364 2: A gray/luminance channel and an alpha channel (GA).
4365 3: Three red, green, blue color channels (RGB).
4366 4: Three color channels and an alpha channel (RGBA).
4367
4368 The channels are encoded in one of two ways:
4369
4370 a) As a small integer, value 0..255, contained in a single byte. For the
4371 alpha channel the original value is simply value/255. For the color or
4372 luminance channels the value is encoded according to the sRGB specification
4373 and matches the 8-bit format expected by typical display devices.
4374
4375 The color/gray channels are not scaled (pre-multiplied) by the alpha
4376 channel and are suitable for passing to color management software.
4377
4378 b) As a value in the range 0..65535, contained in a 2-byte integer, in
4379 the native byte order of the platform on which the application is running.
4380 All channels can be converted to the original value by dividing by 65535; all
4381 channels are linear. Color channels use the RGB encoding (RGB end-points) of
4382 the sRGB specification. This encoding is identified by the
4383 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_LINEAR flag below.
4384
4385 When the simplified API needs to convert between sRGB and linear colorspaces,
4386 the actual sRGB transfer curve defined in the sRGB specification (see the
4387 article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB) is used, not the gamma=1/2.2
4388 approximation used elsewhere in libpng.
4389
4390 When an alpha channel is present it is expected to denote pixel coverage
4391 of the color or luminance channels and is returned as an associated alpha
4392 channel: the color/gray channels are scaled (pre-multiplied) by the alpha
4393 value.
4394
4395 The samples are either contained directly in the image data, between 1 and 8
4396 bytes per pixel according to the encoding, or are held in a color-map indexed
4397 by bytes in the image data. In the case of a color-map the color-map entries
4398 are individual samples, encoded as above, and the image data has one byte per
4399 pixel to select the relevant sample from the color-map.
4400
4401 PNG_FORMAT_*
4402
4403 The #defines to be used in png_image::format. Each #define identifies a
4404 particular layout of channel data and, if present, alpha values. There are
4405 separate defines for each of the two component encodings.
4406
4407 A format is built up using single bit flag values. All combinations are
4408 valid. Formats can be built up from the flag values or you can use one of
4409 the predefined values below. When testing formats always use the FORMAT_FLAG
4410 macros to test for individual features - future versions of the library may
4411 add new flags.
4412
4413 When reading or writing color-mapped images the format should be set to the
4414 format of the entries in the color-map then png_image_{read,write}_colormap
4415 called to read or write the color-map and set the format correctly for the
4416 image data. Do not set the PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP bit directly!
4417
4418 NOTE: libpng can be built with particular features disabled. If you see
4419 compiler errors because the definition of one of the following flags has been
4420 compiled out it is because libpng does not have the required support. It is
4421 possible, however, for the libpng configuration to enable the format on just
4422 read or just write; in that case you may see an error at run time.
4423 You can guard against this by checking for the definition of the
4424 appropriate "_SUPPORTED" macro, one of:
4425
4426 PNG_SIMPLIFIED_{READ,WRITE}_{BGR,AFIRST}_SUPPORTED
4427
4428 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_ALPHA format with an alpha channel
4429 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLOR color format: otherwise grayscale
4430 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_LINEAR 2-byte channels else 1-byte
4431 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP image data is color-mapped
4432 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_BGR BGR colors, else order is RGB
4433 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_AFIRST alpha channel comes first
4434
4435 Supported formats are as follows. Future versions of libpng may support more
4436 formats; for compatibility with older versions simply check if the format
4437 macro is defined using #ifdef. These defines describe the in-memory layout
4438 of the components of the pixels of the image.
4439
4440 First the single byte (sRGB) formats:
4441
4442 PNG_FORMAT_GRAY
4443 PNG_FORMAT_GA
4444 PNG_FORMAT_AG
4445 PNG_FORMAT_RGB
4446 PNG_FORMAT_BGR
4447 PNG_FORMAT_RGBA
4448 PNG_FORMAT_ARGB
4449 PNG_FORMAT_BGRA
4450 PNG_FORMAT_ABGR
4451
4452 Then the linear 2-byte formats. When naming these "Y" is used to
4453 indicate a luminance (gray) channel. The component order within the pixel
4454 is always the same - there is no provision for swapping the order of the
4455 components in the linear format. The components are 16-bit integers in
4456 the native byte order for your platform, and there is no provision for
4457 swapping the bytes to a different endian condition.
4458
4459 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_Y
4460 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_Y_ALPHA
4461 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_RGB
4462 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_RGB_ALPHA
4463
4464 With color-mapped formats the image data is one byte for each pixel. The byte
4465 is an index into the color-map which is formatted as above. To obtain a
4466 color-mapped format it is sufficient just to add the PNG_FOMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP
4467 to one of the above definitions, or you can use one of the definitions below.
4468
4469 PNG_FORMAT_RGB_COLORMAP
4470 PNG_FORMAT_BGR_COLORMAP
4471 PNG_FORMAT_RGBA_COLORMAP
4472 PNG_FORMAT_ARGB_COLORMAP
4473 PNG_FORMAT_BGRA_COLORMAP
4474 PNG_FORMAT_ABGR_COLORMAP
4475
4476 PNG_IMAGE macros
4477
4478 These are convenience macros to derive information from a png_image
4479 structure. The PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_ macros return values appropriate to the
4480 actual image sample values - either the entries in the color-map or the
4481 pixels in the image. The PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_ macros return corresponding values
4482 for the pixels and will always return 1 for color-mapped formats. The
4483 remaining macros return information about the rows in the image and the
4484 complete image.
4485
4486 NOTE: All the macros that take a png_image::format parameter are compile time
4487 constants if the format parameter is, itself, a constant. Therefore these
4488 macros can be used in array declarations and case labels where required.
4489 Similarly the macros are also pre-processor constants (sizeof is not used) so
4490 they can be used in #if tests.
4491
4492 PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_CHANNELS(fmt)
4493 Returns the total number of channels in a given format: 1..4
4494
4495 PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_COMPONENT_SIZE(fmt)
4496 Returns the size in bytes of a single component of a pixel or color-map
4497 entry (as appropriate) in the image: 1 or 2.
4498
4499 PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_SIZE(fmt)
4500 This is the size of the sample data for one sample. If the image is
4501 color-mapped it is the size of one color-map entry (and image pixels are
4502 one byte in size), otherwise it is the size of one image pixel.
4503
4504 PNG_IMAGE_MAXIMUM_COLORMAP_COMPONENTS(fmt)
4505 The maximum size of the color-map required by the format expressed in a
4506 count of components. This can be used to compile-time allocate a
4507 color-map:
4508
4509 png_uint_16 colormap[PNG_IMAGE_MAXIMUM_COLORMAP_COMPONENTS(linear_fmt)];
4510
4511 png_byte colormap[PNG_IMAGE_MAXIMUM_COLORMAP_COMPONENTS(sRGB_fmt)];
4512
4513 Alternatively use the PNG_IMAGE_COLORMAP_SIZE macro below to use the
4514 information from one of the png_image_begin_read_ APIs and dynamically
4515 allocate the required memory.
4516
4517 PNG_IMAGE_COLORMAP_SIZE(fmt)
4518 The size of the color-map required by the format; this is the size of the
4519 color-map buffer passed to the png_image_{read,write}_colormap APIs. It is
4520 a fixed number determined by the format so can easily be allocated on the
4521 stack if necessary.
4522
4523 Corresponding information about the pixels
4524
4525 PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_CHANNELS(fmt)
4526 The number of separate channels (components) in a pixel; 1 for a
4527 color-mapped image.
4528
4529 PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_COMPONENT_SIZE(fmt)\
4530 The size, in bytes, of each component in a pixel; 1 for a color-mapped
4531 image.
4532
4533 PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_SIZE(fmt)
4534 The size, in bytes, of a complete pixel; 1 for a color-mapped image.
4535
4536 Information about the whole row, or whole image
4537
4538 PNG_IMAGE_ROW_STRIDE(image)
4539 Returns the total number of components in a single row of the image; this
4540 is the minimum 'row stride', the minimum count of components between each
4541 row. For a color-mapped image this is the minimum number of bytes in a
4542 row.
4543
4544 If you need the stride measured in bytes, row_stride_bytes is
4545 PNG_IMAGE_ROW_STRIDE(image) * PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_COMPONENT_SIZE(fmt)
4546 plus any padding bytes that your application might need, for example
4547 to start the next row on a 4-byte boundary.
4548
4549 PNG_IMAGE_BUFFER_SIZE(image, row_stride)
4550 Return the size, in bytes, of an image buffer given a png_image and a row
4551 stride - the number of components to leave space for in each row.
4552
4553 PNG_IMAGE_SIZE(image)
4554 Return the size, in bytes, of the image in memory given just a png_image;
4555 the row stride is the minimum stride required for the image.
4556
4557 PNG_IMAGE_COLORMAP_SIZE(image)
4558 Return the size, in bytes, of the color-map of this image. If the image
4559 format is not a color-map format this will return a size sufficient for
4560 256 entries in the given format; check PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP if
4561 you don't want to allocate a color-map in this case.
4562
4563 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_*
4564
4565 Flags containing additional information about the image are held in
4566 the 'flags' field of png_image.
4567
4568 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_COLORSPACE_NOT_sRGB == 0x01
4569 This indicates that the RGB values of the in-memory bitmap do not
4570 correspond to the red, green and blue end-points defined by sRGB.
4571
4572 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_FAST == 0x02
4573 On write emphasise speed over compression; the resultant PNG file will be
4574 larger but will be produced significantly faster, particular for large
4575 images. Do not use this option for images which will be distributed, only
4576 used it when producing intermediate files that will be read back in
4577 repeatedly. For a typical 24-bit image the option will double the read
4578 speed at the cost of increasing the image size by 25%, however for many
4579 more compressible images the PNG file can be 10 times larger with only a
4580 slight speed gain.
4581
4582 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_16BIT_sRGB == 0x04
4583 On read if the image is a 16-bit per component image and there is no gAMA
4584 or sRGB chunk assume that the components are sRGB encoded. Notice that
4585 images output by the simplified API always have gamma information; setting
4586 this flag only affects the interpretation of 16-bit images from an
4587 external source. It is recommended that the application expose this flag
4588 to the user; the user can normally easily recognize the difference between
4589 linear and sRGB encoding. This flag has no effect on write - the data
4590 passed to the write APIs must have the correct encoding (as defined
4591 above.)
4592
4593 If the flag is not set (the default) input 16-bit per component data is
4594 assumed to be linear.
4595
4596 NOTE: the flag can only be set after the png_image_begin_read_ call,
4597 because that call initializes the 'flags' field.
4598
4599 READ APIs
4600
4601 The png_image passed to the read APIs must have been initialized by setting
4602 the png_controlp field 'opaque' to NULL (or, better, memset the whole thing.)
4603
4604 int png_image_begin_read_from_file( png_imagep image,
4605 const char *file_name)
4606
4607 The named file is opened for read and the image header
4608 is filled in from the PNG header in the file.
4609
4610 int png_image_begin_read_from_stdio (png_imagep image,
4611 FILE* file)
4612
4613 The PNG header is read from the stdio FILE object.
4614
4615 int png_image_begin_read_from_memory(png_imagep image,
4616 png_const_voidp memory, size_t size)
4617
4618 The PNG header is read from the given memory buffer.
4619
4620 int png_image_finish_read(png_imagep image,
4621 png_colorp background, void *buffer,
4622 png_int_32 row_stride, void *colormap));
4623
4624 Finish reading the image into the supplied buffer and
4625 clean up the png_image structure.
4626
4627 row_stride is the step, in png_byte or png_uint_16 units
4628 as appropriate, between adjacent rows. A positive stride
4629 indicates that the top-most row is first in the buffer -
4630 the normal top-down arrangement. A negative stride
4631 indicates that the bottom-most row is first in the buffer.
4632
4633 background need only be supplied if an alpha channel must
4634 be removed from a png_byte format and the removal is to be
4635 done by compositing on a solid color; otherwise it may be
4636 NULL and any composition will be done directly onto the
4637 buffer. The value is an sRGB color to use for the
4638 background, for grayscale output the green channel is used.
4639
4640 For linear output removing the alpha channel is always done
4641 by compositing on black.
4642
4643 void png_image_free(png_imagep image)
4644
4645 Free any data allocated by libpng in image->opaque,
4646 setting the pointer to NULL. May be called at any time
4647 after the structure is initialized.
4648
4649 When the simplified API needs to convert between sRGB and linear colorspaces,
4650 the actual sRGB transfer curve defined in the sRGB specification (see the
4651 article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB) is used, not the gamma=1/2.2
4652 approximation used elsewhere in libpng.
4653
4654 WRITE APIS
4655
4656 For write you must initialize a png_image structure to describe the image to
4657 be written:
4658
4659 version: must be set to PNG_IMAGE_VERSION
4660 opaque: must be initialized to NULL
4661 width: image width in pixels
4662 height: image height in rows
4663 format: the format of the data you wish to write
4664 flags: set to 0 unless one of the defined flags applies; set
4665 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_COLORSPACE_NOT_sRGB for color format images
4666 where the RGB values do not correspond to the colors in sRGB.
4667 colormap_entries: set to the number of entries in the color-map (0 to 256)
4668
4669 int png_image_write_to_file, (png_imagep image,
4670 const char *file, int convert_to_8bit, const void *buffer,
4671 png_int_32 row_stride, const void *colormap));
4672
4673 Write the image to the named file.
4674
4675 int png_image_write_to_memory (png_imagep image, void *memory,
4676 png_alloc_size_t * PNG_RESTRICT memory_bytes,
4677 int convert_to_8_bit, const void *buffer, ptrdiff_t row_stride,
4678 const void *colormap));
4679
4680 Write the image to memory.
4681
4682 int png_image_write_to_stdio(png_imagep image, FILE *file,
4683 int convert_to_8_bit, const void *buffer,
4684 png_int_32 row_stride, const void *colormap)
4685
4686 Write the image to the given (FILE*).
4687
4688 With all write APIs if image is in one of the linear formats with
4689 (png_uint_16) data then setting convert_to_8_bit will cause the output to be
4690 a (png_byte) PNG gamma encoded according to the sRGB specification, otherwise
4691 a 16-bit linear encoded PNG file is written.
4692
4693 With all APIs row_stride is handled as in the read APIs - it is the spacing
4694 from one row to the next in component sized units (float) and if negative
4695 indicates a bottom-up row layout in the buffer. If you pass zero, libpng will
4696 calculate the row_stride for you from the width and number of channels.
4697
4698 Note that the write API does not support interlacing, sub-8-bit pixels,
4699 indexed (paletted) images, or most ancillary chunks.
4700
4701 .SH VI. Modifying/Customizing libpng
4702
4703 There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does
4704 standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
4705 The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
4706 adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
4707 Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
4708 determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
4709 to provide the user with a means of changing them.
4710
4711 Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
4712
4713 All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
4714 goes through callbacks that are user-settable. The default routines are
4715 in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively. To change
4716 these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
4717
4718 Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(),
4719 and png_free(). The png_malloc() and png_free() functions currently just
4720 call the standard C functions and png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then
4721 clears the newly allocated memory to zero; note that png_calloc(png_ptr, size)
4722 is not the same as the calloc(number, size) function provided by stdlib.h.
4723 There is limited support for certain systems with segmented memory
4724 architectures and the types of pointers declared by png.h match this; you
4725 will have to use appropriate pointers in your application. If you prefer
4726 to use a different method of allocating and freeing data, you can use
4727 png_create_read_struct_2() or png_create_write_struct_2() to register your
4728 own functions as described above. These functions also provide a void
4729 pointer that can be retrieved via
4730
4731 mem_ptr = png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
4732
4733 Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:
4734
4735 png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4736 png_alloc_size_t size);
4737
4738 void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
4739
4740 Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc()
4741 function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
4742 system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
4743
4744 Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
4745 png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
4746
4747 Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
4748 which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
4749 png_struct and is initialized via png_init_io(). If you wish to change
4750 the method of I/O, the library supplies callbacks that you can set
4751 through the function png_set_read_fn() and png_set_write_fn() at run
4752 time, instead of calling the png_init_io() function. These functions
4753 also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
4754 png_get_io_ptr(). For example:
4755
4756 png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
4757 voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
4758
4759 png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
4760 voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
4761 png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
4762
4763 voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
4764 voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
4765
4766 The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:
4767
4768 void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr,
4769 png_bytep data, size_t length);
4770
4771 void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr,
4772 png_bytep data, size_t length);
4773
4774 void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr);
4775
4776 The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and
4777 handling end-of-data errors.
4778
4779 Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
4780 to using the default C stream functions, which expect the io_ptr to
4781 point to a standard *FILE structure. It is probably a mistake
4782 to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both
4783 of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined.
4784 It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa.
4785
4786 Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
4787 Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
4788 should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via
4789 setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
4790 PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
4791 but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish,
4792 as long as your function does not return.
4793
4794 On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
4795 to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
4796 By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
4797 fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined
4798 (because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because
4799 fprintf() isn't available). If you wish to change the behavior of the error
4800 functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks. These
4801 functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created.
4802 It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement
4803 functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling:
4804
4805 png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4806 png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn,
4807 png_error_ptr warning_fn);
4808
4809 If NULL is supplied for either error_fn or warning_fn, then the libpng
4810 default function will be used, calling fprintf() and/or longjmp() if a
4811 problem is encountered. The replacement error functions should have
4812 parameters as follows:
4813
4814 void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4815 png_const_charp error_msg);
4816
4817 void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4818 png_const_charp warning_msg);
4819
4820 Then, within your user_error_fn or user_warning_fn, you can retrieve
4821 the error_ptr if you need it, by calling
4822
4823 png_voidp error_ptr = png_get_error_ptr(png_ptr);
4824
4825 The motivation behind using setjmp() and longjmp() is the C++ throw and
4826 catch exception handling methods. This makes the code much easier to write,
4827 as there is no need to check every return code of every function call.
4828 However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables
4829 after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything
4830 after setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself. Consult your
4831 compiler documentation for more details. For an alternative approach, you
4832 may wish to use the "cexcept" facility (see https://cexcept.sourceforge.io/),
4833 which is illustrated in pngvalid.c and in contrib/visupng.
4834
4835 Beginning in libpng-1.4.0, the png_set_benign_errors() API became available.
4836 You can use this to handle certain errors (normally handled as errors)
4837 as warnings.
4838
4839 png_set_benign_errors (png_ptr, int allowed);
4840
4841 allowed: 0: treat png_benign_error() as an error.
4842 1: treat png_benign_error() as a warning.
4843
4844 As of libpng-1.6.0, the default condition is to treat benign errors as
4845 warnings while reading and as errors while writing.
4846
4847 .SS Custom chunks
4848
4849 If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper
4850 into the libpng code. The library now has mechanisms for storing
4851 and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks
4852 for custom chunks. However, this may not be good enough if the
4853 library code itself needs to know about interactions between your
4854 chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks.
4855
4856 If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG
4857 specification. Acquire a first level of understanding of how it works.
4858 Pay particular attention to the sections that describe chunk names,
4859 and look at how other chunks were designed, so you can do things
4860 similarly. Second, check out the sections of libpng that read and
4861 write chunks. Try to find a chunk that is similar to yours and use
4862 it as a template. More details can be found in the comments inside
4863 the code. It is best to handle private or unknown chunks in a generic method,
4864 via callback functions, instead of by modifying libpng functions. This
4865 is illustrated in pngtest.c, which uses a callback function to handle a
4866 private "vpAg" chunk and the new "sTER" chunk, which are both unknown to
4867 libpng.
4868
4869 If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through
4870 the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of
4871 the simpler ones to get an idea of how they work. Try to find a similar
4872 transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it. More details
4873 can be found in the comments inside the code itself.
4874
4875 .SS Configuring for gui/windowing platforms:
4876
4877 You will need to write new error and warning functions that use the GUI
4878 interface, as described previously, and set them to be the error and
4879 warning functions at the time that png_create_*_struct() is called,
4880 in order to have them available during the structure initialization.
4881 They can be changed later via png_set_error_fn(). On some compilers,
4882 you may also have to change the memory allocators (png_malloc, etc.).
4883
4884 .SS Configuring zlib:
4885
4886 There are special functions to configure the compression. Perhaps the
4887 most useful one changes the compression level, which currently uses
4888 input compression values in the range 0 - 9. The library normally
4889 uses the default compression level (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = 6). Tests
4890 have shown that for a large majority of images, compression values in
4891 the range 3-6 compress nearly as well as higher levels, and do so much
4892 faster. For online applications it may be desirable to have maximum speed
4893 (Z_BEST_SPEED = 1). With versions of zlib after v0.99, you can also
4894 specify no compression (Z_NO_COMPRESSION = 0), but this would create
4895 files larger than just storing the raw bitmap. You can specify the
4896 compression level by calling:
4897
4898 #include zlib.h
4899 png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
4900
4901 Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library.
4902 The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are
4903 short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K).
4904 Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among
4905 other things, lower levels will result in sections of incompressible
4906 data being emitted in smaller stored blocks, with a correspondingly
4907 larger relative overhead of up to 15% in the worst case.
4908
4909 #include zlib.h
4910 png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level);
4911
4912 The other functions are for configuring zlib. They are not recommended
4913 for normal use and may result in writing an invalid PNG file. See
4914 zlib.h for more information on what these mean.
4915
4916 #include zlib.h
4917 png_set_compression_strategy(png_ptr,
4918 strategy);
4919
4920 png_set_compression_window_bits(png_ptr,
4921 window_bits);
4922
4923 png_set_compression_method(png_ptr, method);
4924
4925 This controls the size of the IDAT chunks (default 8192):
4926
4927 png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, size);
4928
4929 As of libpng version 1.5.4, additional APIs became
4930 available to set these separately for non-IDAT
4931 compressed chunks such as zTXt, iTXt, and iCCP:
4932
4933 #include zlib.h
4934 #if PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504
4935 png_set_text_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
4936
4937 png_set_text_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level);
4938
4939 png_set_text_compression_strategy(png_ptr,
4940 strategy);
4941
4942 png_set_text_compression_window_bits(png_ptr,
4943 window_bits);
4944
4945 png_set_text_compression_method(png_ptr, method);
4946 #endif
4947
4948 .SS Controlling row filtering
4949
4950 If you want to control whether libpng uses filtering or not, which
4951 filters are used, and how it goes about picking row filters, you
4952 can call one of these functions. The selection and configuration
4953 of row filters can have a significant impact on the size and
4954 encoding speed and a somewhat lesser impact on the decoding speed
4955 of an image. Filtering is enabled by default for RGB and grayscale
4956 images (with and without alpha), but not for paletted images nor
4957 for any images with bit depths less than 8 bits/pixel.
4958
4959 The 'method' parameter sets the main filtering method, which is
4960 currently only '0' in the PNG 1.2 specification. The 'filters'
4961 parameter sets which filter(s), if any, should be used for each
4962 scanline. Possible values are PNG_ALL_FILTERS, PNG_NO_FILTERS,
4963 or PNG_FAST_FILTERS to turn filtering on and off, or to turn on
4964 just the fast-decoding subset of filters, respectively.
4965
4966 Individual filter types are PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB,
4967 PNG_FILTER_UP, PNG_FILTER_AVG, PNG_FILTER_PAETH, which can be bitwise
4968 ORed together with '|' to specify one or more filters to use.
4969 These filters are described in more detail in the PNG specification.
4970 If you intend to change the filter type during the course of writing
4971 the image, you should start with flags set for all of the filters
4972 you intend to use so that libpng can initialize its internal
4973 structures appropriately for all of the filter types. (Note that this
4974 means the first row must always be adaptively filtered, because libpng
4975 currently does not allocate the filter buffers until png_write_row()
4976 is called for the first time.)
4977
4978 filters = PNG_NO_FILTERS;
4979 filters = PNG_ALL_FILTERS;
4980 filters = PNG_FAST_FILTERS;
4981
4982 or
4983
4984 filters = PNG_FILTER_NONE | PNG_FILTER_SUB |
4985 PNG_FILTER_UP | PNG_FILTER_AVG |
4986 PNG_FILTER_PAETH;
4987
4988 png_set_filter(png_ptr, PNG_FILTER_TYPE_BASE,
4989 filters);
4990
4991 The second parameter can also be
4992 PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if you are
4993 writing a PNG to be embedded in a MNG
4994 datastream. This parameter must be the
4995 same as the value of filter_method used
4996 in png_set_IHDR().
4997
4998 .SS Requesting debug printout
4999
5000 The macro definition PNG_DEBUG can be used to request debugging
5001 printout. Set it to an integer value in the range 0 to 3. Higher
5002 numbers result in increasing amounts of debugging information. The
5003 information is printed to the "stderr" file, unless another file
5004 name is specified in the PNG_DEBUG_FILE macro definition.
5005
5006 When PNG_DEBUG > 0, the following functions (macros) become available:
5007
5008 png_debug(level, message)
5009 png_debug1(level, message, p1)
5010 png_debug2(level, message, p1, p2)
5011
5012 in which "level" is compared to PNG_DEBUG to decide whether to print
5013 the message, "message" is the formatted string to be printed,
5014 and p1 and p2 are parameters that are to be embedded in the string
5015 according to printf-style formatting directives. For example,
5016
5017 png_debug1(2, "foo=%d", foo);
5018
5019 is expanded to
5020
5021 if (PNG_DEBUG > 2)
5022 fprintf(PNG_DEBUG_FILE, "foo=%d\en", foo);
5023
5024 When PNG_DEBUG is defined but is zero, the macros aren't defined, but you
5025 can still use PNG_DEBUG to control your own debugging:
5026
5027 #ifdef PNG_DEBUG
5028 fprintf(stderr, ...);
5029 #endif
5030
5031 When PNG_DEBUG = 1, the macros are defined, but only png_debug statements
5032 having level = 0 will be printed. There aren't any such statements in
5033 this version of libpng, but if you insert some they will be printed.
5034
5035 .SH VII. MNG support
5036
5037 The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
5038 certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
5039 Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the
5040 png_permit_mng_features() function:
5041
5042 feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
5043
5044 mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
5045 features you want to enable. These include
5046 PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
5047 PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
5048 PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
5049
5050 feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
5051 your mask with the set of MNG features that is
5052 supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
5053
5054 It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
5055 PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped
5056 in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
5057 and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these
5058 or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
5059 them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
5060 https://www.libmng.com/) instead.
5061
5062 .SH VIII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
5063
5064 It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
5065 distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
5066 Andreas Dilger, who had taken over from Guy during 1996 and 1997, and
5067 distributed versions 0.89 through 0.96, but rather by another member
5068 of the original PNG Group, Glenn Randers-Pehrson. Guy and Andreas are
5069 still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
5070
5071 The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),
5072 png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been
5073 moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. These
5074 functions will be removed from libpng version 1.4.0.
5075
5076 The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
5077 via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and
5078 png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures
5079 from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the
5080 use of custom error handling routines during the initialization, which
5081 the old functions do not. The functions png_read_destroy() and
5082 png_write_destroy() do not actually free the memory that libpng
5083 allocated for these structs, but just reset the data structures, so they
5084 can be used instead of png_destroy_read_struct() and
5085 png_destroy_write_struct() if you feel there is too much system overhead
5086 allocating and freeing the png_struct for each image read.
5087
5088 Setting the error callbacks via png_set_message_fn() before
5089 png_read_init() as was suggested in libpng-0.88 is no longer supported
5090 because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions
5091 to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero. It is still possible
5092 to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with
5093 png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a new
5094 name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use the old
5095 method.
5096
5097 Support for the sCAL, iCCP, iTXt, and sPLT chunks was added at libpng-1.0.6;
5098 however, iTXt support was not enabled by default.
5099
5100 Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library
5101 you are using at run-time:
5102
5103 png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number();
5104
5105 The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor
5106 version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero,
5107 (e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007).
5108
5109 Note that this function does not take a png_ptr, so you can call it
5110 before you've created one.
5111
5112 You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your
5113 application:
5114
5115 png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER;
5116
5117 .SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x to 1.2.x
5118
5119 Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To
5120 accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(),
5121 png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(),
5122 png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added.
5123
5124 Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of
5125 version 1.2.41.
5126
5127 Support for certain MNG features was enabled.
5128
5129 Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got
5130 around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
5131 png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this
5132 function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE
5133 builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36).
5134
5135 The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues
5136 a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to
5137 acquire the requested memory allocation.
5138
5139 Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled
5140 by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(),
5141 and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6.
5142
5143 The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7.
5144
5145 The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9.
5146 Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the
5147 tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is
5148 deprecated.
5149
5150 A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of
5151 assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were
5152 added at libpng-1.2.0:
5153
5154 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED
5155 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU
5156 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW
5157 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE
5158 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB
5159 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP
5160 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG
5161 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH
5162 PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED
5163 PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS
5164 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
5165 PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS
5166 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
5167
5168 We added the following functions in support of runtime
5169 selection of assembler code features:
5170
5171 png_get_mmx_flagmask()
5172 png_set_mmx_thresholds()
5173 png_get_asm_flags()
5174 png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold()
5175 png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold()
5176 png_set_asm_flags()
5177
5178 We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,
5179 when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue.
5180
5181 These macros are deprecated:
5182
5183 PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5184 PNG_PROGRESSIVE_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED
5185 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ_SUPPORTED
5186 PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5187 PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5188 PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5189
5190 They have been replaced, respectively, by:
5191
5192 PNG_NO_READ_TRANSFORMS
5193 PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ
5194 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ
5195 PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS
5196 PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5197 PNG_NO_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5198
5199 PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been
5200 deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6.
5201
5202 The function
5203 png_check_sig(sig, num)
5204 was replaced with
5205 png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num) == 0
5206 It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
5207
5208 The function
5209 png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
5210 which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
5211 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
5212 which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9.
5213
5214 .SH X. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
5215
5216 Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
5217 png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
5218
5219 Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
5220 png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
5221
5222 Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
5223 will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
5224 The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
5225 were added to the library.
5226
5227 We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
5228 and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
5229
5230 We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
5231 input transforms.
5232
5233 Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
5234
5235 Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
5236
5237 Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
5238
5239 Typecasted NULL definitions such as
5240 #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
5241 were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
5242 NULL instead.
5243
5244 The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
5245 changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
5246
5247 The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
5248 were removed.
5249
5250 The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
5251
5252 The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
5253
5254 Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
5255
5256 The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
5257 png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
5258 have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
5259
5260 The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
5261 since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
5262
5263 We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
5264 png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
5265 png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
5266 png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
5267
5268 We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
5269 png_memset_check() functions. Instead use png_sig_cmp() == 0,
5270 memcpy(), and memset(), respectively.
5271
5272 The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
5273 deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
5274 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
5275 expanded any tRNS chunk to an alpha channel.
5276
5277 Macros for png_get_uint_16, png_get_uint_32, and png_get_int_32
5278 were added and are used by default instead of the corresponding
5279 functions. Unfortunately,
5280 from libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
5281 function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
5282
5283 We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
5284 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
5285 to
5286 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
5287
5288 This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
5289
5290 The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
5291 of "png_malloc(); memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
5292 where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
5293 after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
5294 behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
5295 the process.
5296
5297 We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
5298 png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with size_t instead of
5299 png_uint_32.
5300
5301 Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
5302 never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
5303 png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
5304
5305 The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
5306 The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
5307 allocates. Applications that called png_zalloc(png_ptr, number, size)
5308 can call png_calloc(png_ptr, number*size) instead, and can call
5309 png_free() instead of png_zfree().
5310
5311 Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
5312 it has not been well tested and doesn't actually "dither".
5313 The code was not
5314 removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
5315 PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
5316 was re-enabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
5317 reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
5318 the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
5319 PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS, and PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED
5320 was renamed to PNG_READ_QUANTIZE_SUPPORTED.
5321
5322 We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.
5323
5324 .SH XI. Changes to Libpng from version 1.4.x to 1.5.x
5325
5326 From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
5327 function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
5328 The incorrect macro was removed from libpng-1.4.5.
5329
5330 Checking for invalid palette index on write was added at libpng
5331 1.5.10. If a pixel contains an invalid (out-of-range) index libpng issues
5332 a benign error. This is enabled by default because this condition is an
5333 error according to the PNG specification, Clause 11.3.2, but the error can
5334 be ignored in each png_ptr with
5335
5336 png_set_check_for_invalid_index(png_ptr, allowed);
5337
5338 allowed - one of
5339 0: disable benign error (accept the
5340 invalid data without warning).
5341 1: enable benign error (treat the
5342 invalid data as an error or a
5343 warning).
5344
5345 If the error is ignored, or if png_benign_error() treats it as a warning,
5346 any invalid pixels are decoded as opaque black by the decoder and written
5347 as-is by the encoder.
5348
5349 Retrieving the maximum palette index found was added at libpng-1.5.15.
5350 This statement must appear after png_read_png() or png_read_image() while
5351 reading, and after png_write_png() or png_write_image() while writing.
5352
5353 int max_palette = png_get_palette_max(png_ptr, info_ptr);
5354
5355 This will return the maximum palette index found in the image, or "\-1" if
5356 the palette was not checked, or "0" if no palette was found. Note that this
5357 does not account for any palette index used by ancillary chunks such as the
5358 bKGD chunk; you must check those separately to determine the maximum
5359 palette index actually used.
5360
5361 There are no substantial API changes between the non-deprecated parts of
5362 the 1.4.5 API and the 1.5.0 API; however, the ability to directly access
5363 members of the main libpng control structures, png_struct and png_info,
5364 deprecated in earlier versions of libpng, has been completely removed from
5365 libpng 1.5, and new private "pngstruct.h", "pnginfo.h", and "pngdebug.h"
5366 header files were created.
5367
5368 We no longer include zlib.h in png.h. The include statement has been moved
5369 to pngstruct.h, where it is not accessible by applications. Applications that
5370 need access to information in zlib.h will need to add the '#include "zlib.h"'
5371 directive. It does not matter whether this is placed prior to or after
5372 the '"#include png.h"' directive.
5373
5374 The png_sprintf(), png_strcpy(), and png_strncpy() macros are no longer used
5375 and were removed.
5376
5377 We moved the png_strlen(), png_memcpy(), png_memset(), and png_memcmp()
5378 macros into a private header file (pngpriv.h) that is not accessible to
5379 applications.
5380
5381 In png_get_iCCP, the type of "profile" was changed from png_charpp
5382 to png_bytepp, and in png_set_iCCP, from png_charp to png_const_bytep.
5383
5384 There are changes of form in png.h, including new and changed macros to
5385 declare parts of the API. Some API functions with arguments that are
5386 pointers to data not modified within the function have been corrected to
5387 declare these arguments with const.
5388
5389 Much of the internal use of C macros to control the library build has also
5390 changed and some of this is visible in the exported header files, in
5391 particular the use of macros to control data and API elements visible
5392 during application compilation may require significant revision to
5393 application code. (It is extremely rare for an application to do this.)
5394
5395 Any program that compiled against libpng 1.4 and did not use deprecated
5396 features or access internal library structures should compile and work
5397 against libpng 1.5, except for the change in the prototype for
5398 png_get_iCCP() and png_set_iCCP() API functions mentioned above.
5399
5400 libpng 1.5.0 adds PNG_ PASS macros to help in the reading and writing of
5401 interlaced images. The macros return the number of rows and columns in
5402 each pass and information that can be used to de-interlace and (if
5403 absolutely necessary) interlace an image.
5404
5405 libpng 1.5.0 adds an API png_longjmp(png_ptr, value). This API calls
5406 the application-provided png_longjmp_ptr on the internal, but application
5407 initialized, longjmp buffer. It is provided as a convenience to avoid
5408 the need to use the png_jmpbuf macro, which had the unnecessary side
5409 effect of resetting the internal png_longjmp_ptr value.
5410
5411 libpng 1.5.0 includes a complete fixed point API. By default this is
5412 present along with the corresponding floating point API. In general the
5413 fixed point API is faster and smaller than the floating point one because
5414 the PNG file format used fixed point, not floating point. This applies
5415 even if the library uses floating point in internal calculations. A new
5416 macro, PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED, reveals whether the library
5417 uses floating point arithmetic (the default) or fixed point arithmetic
5418 internally for performance critical calculations such as gamma correction.
5419 In some cases, the gamma calculations may produce slightly different
5420 results. This has changed the results in png_rgb_to_gray and in alpha
5421 composition (png_set_background for example). This applies even if the
5422 original image was already linear (gamma == 1.0) and, therefore, it is
5423 not necessary to linearize the image. This is because libpng has *not*
5424 been changed to optimize that case correctly, yet.
5425
5426 Fixed point support for the sCAL chunk comes with an important caveat;
5427 the sCAL specification uses a decimal encoding of floating point values
5428 and the accuracy of PNG fixed point values is insufficient for
5429 representation of these values. Consequently a "string" API
5430 (png_get_sCAL_s and png_set_sCAL_s) is the only reliable way of reading
5431 arbitrary sCAL chunks in the absence of either the floating point API or
5432 internal floating point calculations. Starting with libpng-1.5.0, both
5433 of these functions are present when PNG_sCAL_SUPPORTED is defined. Prior
5434 to libpng-1.5.0, their presence also depended upon PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED
5435 being defined and PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED not being defined.
5436
5437 Applications no longer need to include the optional distribution header
5438 file pngusr.h or define the corresponding macros during application
5439 build in order to see the correct variant of the libpng API. From 1.5.0
5440 application code can check for the corresponding _SUPPORTED macro:
5441
5442 #ifdef PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
5443 /* code that uses the inch conversion APIs. */
5444 #endif
5445
5446 This macro will only be defined if the inch conversion functions have been
5447 compiled into libpng. The full set of macros, and whether or not support
5448 has been compiled in, are available in the header file pnglibconf.h.
5449 This header file is specific to the libpng build. Notice that prior to
5450 1.5.0 the _SUPPORTED macros would always have the default definition unless
5451 reset by pngusr.h or by explicit settings on the compiler command line.
5452 These settings may produce compiler warnings or errors in 1.5.0 because
5453 of macro redefinition.
5454
5455 Applications can now choose whether to use these macros or to call the
5456 corresponding function by defining PNG_USE_READ_MACROS or
5457 PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS before including png.h. Notice that this is
5458 only supported from 1.5.0; defining PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS prior to 1.5.0
5459 will lead to a link failure.
5460
5461 Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the zlib compressor used the same set of parameters
5462 when compressing the IDAT data and textual data such as zTXt and iCCP.
5463 In libpng-1.5.4 we reinitialized the zlib stream for each type of data.
5464 We added five png_set_text_*() functions for setting the parameters to
5465 use with textual data.
5466
5467 Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE_SUPPORTED
5468 option was off by default, and slightly inaccurate scaling occurred.
5469 This option can no longer be turned off, and the choice of accurate
5470 or inaccurate 16-to-8 scaling is by using the new png_set_scale_16_to_8()
5471 API for accurate scaling or the old png_set_strip_16_to_8() API for simple
5472 chopping. In libpng-1.5.4, the PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE_SUPPORTED
5473 macro became PNG_READ_SCALE_16_TO_8_SUPPORTED, and the PNG_READ_16_TO_8
5474 macro became PNG_READ_STRIP_16_TO_8_SUPPORTED, to enable the two
5475 png_set_*_16_to_8() functions separately.
5476
5477 Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the png_set_user_limits() function could only be
5478 used to reduce the width and height limits from the value of
5479 PNG_USER_WIDTH_MAX and PNG_USER_HEIGHT_MAX, although this document said
5480 that it could be used to override them. Now this function will reduce or
5481 increase the limits.
5482
5483 Starting in libpng-1.5.22, default user limits were established. These
5484 can be overridden by application calls to png_set_user_limits(),
5485 png_set_user_chunk_cache_max(), and/or png_set_user_malloc_max().
5486 The limits are now
5487 max possible default
5488 png_user_width_max 0x7fffffff 1,000,000
5489 png_user_height_max 0x7fffffff 1,000,000
5490 png_user_chunk_cache_max 0 (unlimited) 1000
5491 png_user_chunk_malloc_max 0 (unlimited) 8,000,000
5492
5493 The png_set_option() function (and the "options" member of the png struct) was
5494 added to libpng-1.5.15, with option PNG_ARM_NEON.
5495
5496 The library now supports a complete fixed point implementation and can
5497 thus be used on systems that have no floating point support or very
5498 limited or slow support. Previously gamma correction, an essential part
5499 of complete PNG support, required reasonably fast floating point.
5500
5501 As part of this the choice of internal implementation has been made
5502 independent of the choice of fixed versus floating point APIs and all the
5503 missing fixed point APIs have been implemented.
5504
5505 The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
5506 changed, as described in the INSTALL file.
5507
5508 A new test program, pngvalid, is provided in addition to pngtest.
5509 pngvalid validates the arithmetic accuracy of the gamma correction
5510 calculations and includes a number of validations of the file format.
5511 A subset of the full range of tests is run when "make check" is done
5512 (in the 'configure' build.) pngvalid also allows total allocated memory
5513 usage to be evaluated and performs additional memory overwrite validation.
5514
5515 Many changes to individual feature macros have been made. The following
5516 are the changes most likely to be noticed by library builders who
5517 configure libpng:
5518
5519 1) All feature macros now have consistent naming:
5520
5521 #define PNG_NO_feature turns the feature off
5522 #define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED turns the feature on
5523
5524 pnglibconf.h contains one line for each feature macro which is either:
5525
5526 #define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
5527
5528 if the feature is supported or:
5529
5530 /*#undef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED*/
5531
5532 if it is not. Library code consistently checks for the 'SUPPORTED' macro.
5533 It does not, and libpng applications should not, check for the 'NO' macro
5534 which will not normally be defined even if the feature is not supported.
5535 The 'NO' macros are only used internally for setting or not setting the
5536 corresponding 'SUPPORTED' macros.
5537
5538 Compatibility with the old names is provided as follows:
5539
5540 PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS turns on PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
5541
5542 And the following definitions disable the corresponding feature:
5543
5544 PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED disables SETJMP
5545 PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_TRANSFORMS
5546 PNG_NO_READ_COMPOSITED_NODIV disables READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV
5547 PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_TRANSFORMS
5548 PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5549 PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5550
5551 Library builders should remove use of the above, inconsistent, names.
5552
5553 2) Warning and error message formatting was previously conditional on
5554 the STDIO feature. The library has been changed to use the
5555 CONSOLE_IO feature instead. This means that if CONSOLE_IO is disabled
5556 the library no longer uses the printf(3) functions, even though the
5557 default read/write implementations use (FILE) style stdio.h functions.
5558
5559 3) Three feature macros now control the fixed/floating point decisions:
5560
5561 PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the floating point APIs
5562
5563 PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the fixed point APIs; however, in
5564 practice these are normally required internally anyway (because the PNG
5565 file format is fixed point), therefore in most cases PNG_NO_FIXED_POINT
5566 merely stops the function from being exported.
5567
5568 PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED chooses between the internal floating
5569 point implementation or the fixed point one. Typically the fixed point
5570 implementation is larger and slower than the floating point implementation
5571 on a system that supports floating point; however, it may be faster on a
5572 system which lacks floating point hardware and therefore uses a software
5573 emulation.
5574
5575 4) Added PNG_{READ,WRITE}_INT_FUNCTIONS_SUPPORTED. This allows the
5576 functions to read and write ints to be disabled independently of
5577 PNG_USE_READ_MACROS, which allows libpng to be built with the functions
5578 even though the default is to use the macros - this allows applications
5579 to choose at app buildtime whether or not to use macros (previously
5580 impossible because the functions weren't in the default build.)
5581
5582 .SH XII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.5.x to 1.6.x
5583
5584 A "simplified API" has been added (see documentation in png.h and a simple
5585 example in contrib/examples/pngtopng.c). The new publicly visible API
5586 includes the following:
5587
5588 macros:
5589 PNG_FORMAT_*
5590 PNG_IMAGE_*
5591 structures:
5592 png_control
5593 png_image
5594 read functions
5595 png_image_begin_read_from_file()
5596 png_image_begin_read_from_stdio()
5597 png_image_begin_read_from_memory()
5598 png_image_finish_read()
5599 png_image_free()
5600 write functions
5601 png_image_write_to_file()
5602 png_image_write_to_memory()
5603 png_image_write_to_stdio()
5604
5605 Starting with libpng-1.6.0, you can configure libpng to prefix all exported
5606 symbols, using the PNG_PREFIX macro.
5607
5608 We no longer include string.h in png.h. The include statement has been moved
5609 to pngpriv.h, where it is not accessible by applications. Applications that
5610 need access to information in string.h must add an '#include <string.h>'
5611 directive. It does not matter whether this is placed prior to or after
5612 the '#include "png.h"' directive.
5613
5614 The following API are now DEPRECATED:
5615 png_info_init_3()
5616 png_convert_to_rfc1123() which has been replaced
5617 with png_convert_to_rfc1123_buffer()
5618 png_malloc_default()
5619 png_free_default()
5620 png_reset_zstream()
5621
5622 The following have been removed:
5623 png_get_io_chunk_name(), which has been replaced
5624 with png_get_io_chunk_type(). The new
5625 function returns a 32-bit integer instead of
5626 a string.
5627 The png_sizeof(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(), png_memcmp(), and
5628 png_memset() macros are no longer used in the libpng sources and
5629 have been removed. These had already been made invisible to applications
5630 (i.e., defined in the private pngpriv.h header file) since libpng-1.5.0.
5631
5632 The signatures of many exported functions were changed, such that
5633 png_structp became png_structrp or png_const_structrp
5634 png_infop became png_inforp or png_const_inforp
5635 where "rp" indicates a "restricted pointer".
5636
5637 Dropped support for 16-bit platforms. The support for FAR/far types has
5638 been eliminated and the definition of png_alloc_size_t is now controlled
5639 by a flag so that 'small size_t' systems can select it if necessary.
5640
5641 Error detection in some chunks has improved; in particular the iCCP chunk
5642 reader now does pretty complete validation of the basic format. Some bad
5643 profiles that were previously accepted are now accepted with a warning or
5644 rejected, depending upon the png_set_benign_errors() setting, in particular
5645 the very old broken Microsoft/HP 3144-byte sRGB profile. Starting with
5646 libpng-1.6.11, recognizing and checking sRGB profiles can be avoided by
5647 means of
5648
5649 #if defined(PNG_SKIP_sRGB_CHECK_PROFILE) && \
5650 defined(PNG_SET_OPTION_SUPPORTED)
5651 png_set_option(png_ptr, PNG_SKIP_sRGB_CHECK_PROFILE,
5652 PNG_OPTION_ON);
5653 #endif
5654
5655 It's not a good idea to do this if you are using the "simplified API",
5656 which needs to be able to recognize sRGB profiles conveyed via the iCCP
5657 chunk.
5658
5659 The PNG spec requirement that only grayscale profiles may appear in images
5660 with color type 0 or 4 and that even if the image only contains gray pixels,
5661 only RGB profiles may appear in images with color type 2, 3, or 6, is now
5662 enforced. The sRGB chunk is allowed to appear in images with any color type
5663 and is interpreted by libpng to convey a one-tracer-curve gray profile or a
5664 three-tracer-curve RGB profile as appropriate.
5665
5666 Libpng 1.5.x erroneously used /MD for Debug DLL builds; if you used the debug
5667 builds in your app and you changed your app to use /MD you will need to
5668 change it back to /MDd for libpng 1.6.x.
5669
5670 Prior to libpng-1.6.0 a warning would be issued if the iTXt chunk contained
5671 an empty language field or an empty translated keyword. Both of these
5672 are allowed by the PNG specification, so these warnings are no longer issued.
5673
5674 The library now issues an error if the application attempts to set a
5675 transform after it calls png_read_update_info() or if it attempts to call
5676 both png_read_update_info() and png_start_read_image() or to call either
5677 of them more than once.
5678
5679 The default condition for benign_errors is now to treat benign errors as
5680 warnings while reading and as errors while writing.
5681
5682 The library now issues a warning if both background processing and RGB to
5683 gray are used when gamma correction happens. As with previous versions of
5684 the library the results are numerically very incorrect in this case.
5685
5686 There are some minor arithmetic changes in some transforms such as
5687 png_set_background(), that might be detected by certain regression tests.
5688
5689 Unknown chunk handling has been improved internally, without any API change.
5690 This adds more correct option control of the unknown handling, corrects
5691 a pre-existing bug where the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored, and makes
5692 it possible to skip IDAT chunks in the sequential reader.
5693
5694 The machine-generated configure files are no longer included in branches
5695 libpng16 and later of the GIT repository. They continue to be included
5696 in the tarball releases, however.
5697
5698 Libpng-1.6.0 through 1.6.2 used the CMF bytes at the beginning of the IDAT
5699 stream to set the size of the sliding window for reading instead of using the
5700 default 32-kbyte sliding window size. It was discovered that there are
5701 hundreds of PNG files in the wild that have incorrect CMF bytes that caused
5702 zlib to issue the "invalid distance too far back" error and reject the file.
5703 Libpng-1.6.3 and later calculate their own safe CMF from the image dimensions,
5704 provide a way to revert to the libpng-1.5.x behavior (ignoring the CMF bytes
5705 and using a 32-kbyte sliding window), by using
5706
5707 png_set_option(png_ptr, PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW,
5708 PNG_OPTION_ON);
5709
5710 and provide a tool (contrib/tools/pngfix) for rewriting a PNG file while
5711 optimizing the CMF bytes in its IDAT chunk correctly.
5712
5713 Libpng-1.6.0 and libpng-1.6.1 wrote uncompressed iTXt chunks with the wrong
5714 length, which resulted in PNG files that cannot be read beyond the bad iTXt
5715 chunk. This error was fixed in libpng-1.6.3, and a tool (called
5716 contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt) has been added to the libpng distribution.
5717
5718 Starting with libpng-1.6.17, the PNG_SAFE_LIMITS macro was eliminated
5719 and safe limits are used by default (users who need larger limits
5720 can still override them at compile time or run time, as described above).
5721
5722 The new limits are
5723 default spec limit
5724 png_user_width_max 1,000,000 2,147,483,647
5725 png_user_height_max 1,000,000 2,147,483,647
5726 png_user_chunk_cache_max 128 unlimited
5727 png_user_chunk_malloc_max 8,000,000 unlimited
5728
5729 Starting with libpng-1.6.18, a PNG_RELEASE_BUILD macro was added, which allows
5730 library builders to control compilation for an installed system (a release build).
5731 It can be set for testing debug or beta builds to ensure that they will compile
5732 when the build type is switched to RC or STABLE. In essence this overrides the
5733 PNG_LIBPNG_BUILD_BASE_TYPE definition which is not directly user controllable.
5734
5735 Starting with libpng-1.6.19, attempting to set an over-length PLTE chunk
5736 is an error. Previously this requirement of the PNG specification was not
5737 enforced, and the palette was always limited to 256 entries. An over-length
5738 PLTE chunk found in an input PNG is silently truncated.
5739
5740 Starting with libpng-1.6.31, the eXIf chunk is supported. Libpng does not
5741 attempt to decode the Exif profile; it simply returns a byte array
5742 containing the profile to the calling application which must do its own
5743 decoding.
5744
5745 .SH XIII. Detecting libpng
5746
5747 The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never
5748 changed, and is unaffected by conditional compilation macros. It is the
5749 best choice for use in configure scripts for detecting the presence of any
5750 libpng version since 0.88. In an autoconf "configure.in" you could use
5751
5752 AC_CHECK_LIB(png, png_get_io_ptr, ...)
5753
5754 .SH XV. Source code repository
5755
5756 Since about February 2009, version 1.2.34, libpng has been under "git" source
5757 control. The git repository was built from old libpng-x.y.z.tar.gz files
5758 going back to version 0.70. You can access the git repository (read only)
5759 at
5760
5761 https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng or
5762 https://git.code.sf.net/p/libpng/code.git
5763
5764 or you can browse it with a web browser at
5765
5766 https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng or
5767 https://sourceforge.net/p/libpng/code/ci/libpng16/tree/
5768
5769 Patches can be sent to png-mng-implement at lists.sourceforge.net or
5770 uploaded to the libpng bug tracker at
5771
5772 https://libpng.sourceforge.io/
5773
5774 or as a "pull request" to
5775
5776 https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng/pulls
5777
5778 We also accept patches built from the tar or zip distributions, and
5779 simple verbal descriptions of bug fixes, reported either to the
5780 SourceForge bug tracker, to the png-mng-implement at lists.sf.net
5781 mailing list, as github issues.
5782
5783 .SH XV. Coding style
5784
5785 Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style
5786 (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Allman_style), with curly
5787 braces on separate lines:
5788
5789 if (condition)
5790 {
5791 action;
5792 }
5793
5794 else if (another condition)
5795 {
5796 another action;
5797 }
5798
5799 The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
5800
5801 if (condition)
5802 return 0;
5803
5804 We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
5805 are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
5806 plus four more spaces.
5807
5808 For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
5809 in the first column.
5810
5811 #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
5812 # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
5813 # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
5814 # endif
5815 #endif
5816
5817 Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
5818 the statement that follows the comment:
5819
5820 /* Single-line comment */
5821 statement;
5822
5823 /* This is a multiple-line
5824 * comment.
5825 */
5826 statement;
5827
5828 Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
5829 to which they pertain:
5830
5831 statement; /* comment */
5832
5833 We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
5834 used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
5835 code.
5836
5837 Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
5838 exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:
5839
5840 /* This is a public function that is visible to
5841 * application programmers. It does thus-and-so.
5842 */
5843 void PNGAPI
5844 png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
5845 {
5846 body;
5847 }
5848
5849 The return type and decorations are placed on a separate line
5850 ahead of the function name, as illustrated above.
5851
5852 The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h,
5853 above the comment that says
5854
5855 /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */
5856
5857 We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"":
5858
5859 void /* PRIVATE */
5860 png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
5861 {
5862 body;
5863 }
5864
5865 The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in
5866 pngtest) appear in pngpriv.h above the comment that says
5867
5868 /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ */
5869
5870 To avoid polluting the global namespace, the names of all exported
5871 functions and variables begin with "png_", and all publicly visible C
5872 preprocessor macros begin with "PNG". We request that applications that
5873 use libpng *not* begin any of their own symbols with either of these strings.
5874
5875 We put a space after the "sizeof" operator and we omit the
5876 optional parentheses around its argument when the argument
5877 is an expression, not a type name, and we always enclose the
5878 sizeof operator, with its argument, in parentheses:
5879
5880 (sizeof (png_uint_32))
5881 (sizeof array)
5882
5883 Prior to libpng-1.6.0 we used a "png_sizeof()" macro, formatted as
5884 though it were a function.
5885
5886 Control keywords if, for, while, and switch are always followed by a space
5887 to distinguish them from function calls, which have no trailing space.
5888
5889 We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon
5890 in "for" statements, and we put spaces before and after each
5891 C binary operator and after "for" or "while", and before
5892 "?". We don't put a space between a typecast and the expression
5893 being cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the
5894 left parenthesis that follows it:
5895
5896 for (i = 2; i > 0; \-\-i)
5897 y[i] = a(x) + (int)b;
5898
5899 We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and #if !defined()
5900 when there is only one macro being tested. We always use parentheses
5901 with "defined".
5902
5903 We express integer constants that are used as bit masks in hex format,
5904 with an even number of lower-case hex digits, and to make them unsigned
5905 (e.g., 0x00U, 0xffU, 0x0100U) and long if they are greater than 0x7fff
5906 (e.g., 0xffffUL).
5907
5908 We prefer to use underscores rather than camelCase in names, except
5909 for a few type names that we inherit from zlib.h.
5910
5911 We prefer "if (something != 0)" and "if (something == 0)" over
5912 "if (something)" and if "(!something)", respectively, and for pointers
5913 we prefer "if (some_pointer != NULL)" or "if (some_pointer == NULL)".
5914
5915 We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources.
5916
5917 Lines do not exceed 80 characters.
5918
5919 Other rules can be inferred by inspecting the libpng source.
5920
5921 .SH NOTE
5922
5923 Note about libpng version numbers:
5924
5925 Due to various miscommunications, unforeseen code incompatibilities
5926 and occasional factors outside the authors' control, version numbering
5927 on the library has not always been consistent and straightforward.
5928 The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was
5929 the first widely used release:
5930
5931 source png.h png.h shared-lib

5977
5978 Henceforth the source version will match the shared-library minor and
5979 patch numbers; the shared-library major version number will be used for
5980 changes in backward compatibility, as it is intended.
5981 The PNG_PNGLIB_VER macro, which is not used within libpng but is
5982 available for applications, is an unsigned integer of the form XYYZZ
5983 corresponding to the source version X.Y.Z (leading zeros in Y and Z).
5984 Beta versions were given the previous public release number plus a
5985 letter, until version 1.0.6j; from then on they were given the upcoming
5986 public release number plus "betaNN" or "rcNN".
