NAME
im_jpeg2vips, im_vips2jpeg, im_vips2bufjpeg, im_vips2mimejpeg - convert
JPEG images to and from VIPS format
SYNOPSIS
#include <vips/vips.h>
int im_jpeg2vips( char *filename, IMAGE *out )
int im_vips2jpeg( IMAGE *in, char *filename )
int im_vips2bufjpeg( IMAGE *in, IMAGE *base, char **obuf, int *olen )
int im_vips2mimejpeg( IMAGE *in )
DESCRIPTION
im_jpeg2vips(3) reads the named jpeg file and writes it to the
specified IMAGE. The entire image is read before returning. It can read
most 8-bit JPEG images, including CMYK.
You can embed options in the filename. They have the form:
filename.jpg:<shrink-factor>,<fail>
shrink-factor will shrink the image by that factor during read. Allowed
values are 1, 2, 4 and 8. Shrinking during read is very much faster
than decompressing the whole image and then shrinking. Example:
fred.jpg:8
will return fred.jpg shrink by a factor of 8.
fail makes the JPEG reader fail on any warnings. This can be useful for
detecting truncated files, for example. Normally reading these produces
a warning, but no fatal error. Example:
fred.jpg:,fail
will read fred.jpg, failing with a fatal error if the file has been
truncated.
Any embedded ICC profiles are ignored: you always just get the RGB from
the file. Instead, the embedded profile will be attached to the image
as metadata. You need to use something like im_icc_import(3) to get
CIE values from the file. Any EXIF data is also attached as VIPS
metadata.
im_vips2jpeg(3) writes the IMAGE to filename in JPEG format. It uses
the default settings of the IJG library.
A compression factor may be encoded in the filename: for example,
"fred.jpg" will write with the default compression factor (75),
"fred.jpg:25" will write with factor 25.
An ICC profile may also be specified. For example,
"fred.jpg:,/home/john/srgb.icc" will embed the profile stored in the
file "/home/john/srgb.icc" into the JPEG image. This does not affect
the pixels which are written, just the way they are tagged. You can use
the special string "none" to mean "don’t attach a profile".
If no profile is specified in the save string and the VIPS header
contains an ICC profile named IM_META_ICC_NAME ("icc-profile-data"),
the profile from the VIPS header will be attached.
The image is automatically converted to RGB, Monochrome or CMYK before
saving. Any metadata attached to the image is saved as EXIF, if
possible.
im_vips2bufjpeg(3) returns the compressed image in a memory buffer. The
buffer is allocated for you, local to IMAGE descriptor base. The size
of the allocated buffer is returned in the olen parameter. You are
responsible for freeing the buffer. The buffer is only allocated if the
function returns successfully.
im_vips2mimejpeg(3) writes the image to stdout as a MIME image/jpeg
type. It outputs Content-Length and Content-Type fields making the
result suitable for sending to a web browser.
