The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800570.SH I. Introduction
571
572This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700573(known as libpng) for your own use. In addition to this
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800574file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as
575it is heavily commented and should include everything most people
576will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -0500577INSTALL file for instructions on how to configure and install libpng.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800578
579For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c",
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -0400580and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in
581the libpng distribution.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800582
583Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
584of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
585file format in application programs.
586
587The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700588a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2004 (E)) at
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +0100589<https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/>.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800590The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.
591
592The PNG-1.2 specification is available at
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -0400593<https://png-mng.sourceforge.io/pub/png/spec/1.2/>.
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -0500594It is technically equivalent
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800595to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material.
596
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +0100597The PNG-1.0 specification is available as RFC 2083 at
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -0400598<https://png-mng.sourceforge.io/pub/png/spec/1.0/> and as a
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +0100599W3C Recommendation at <https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-png-961001>.

601Some additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks

604Other information
605about PNG, and the latest version of libpng, can be found at the PNG home
606page, <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>.
607
608Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
609users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as
610complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand.
611Currently, this library only supports C. Support for other languages
612is being considered.
613
614Libpng has been designed to handle multiple sessions at one time,
615to be easily modifiable, to be portable to the vast majority of
616machines (ANSI, K&R, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) available, and to be easy
617to use. The ultimate goal of libpng is to promote the acceptance of
618the PNG file format in whatever way possible. While there is still
619work to be done (see the TODO file), libpng should cover the
620majority of the needs of its users.
621
622Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
623Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -0400624be found at the zlib home page, <https://zlib.net/>.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800625The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
626useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
627See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
628You can usually find the source files for the zlib utility wherever you
629find the libpng source files.
630
631Libpng is thread safe, provided the threads are using different
632instances of the structures. Each thread should have its own
633png_struct and png_info instances, and thus its own image.
634Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
635same instance of a structure.
636
637.SH II. Structures
638
639There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700640and png_info. Both are internal structures that are no longer exposed
641in the libpng interface (as of libpng 1.5.0).
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800642
643The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the
644PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
645directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems
646with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
647a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700648functions) was developed, and direct access to the png_info fields was
649deprecated..
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800650
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700651The png_struct structure is the object used by the library to decode a
652single image. As of 1.5.0 this structure is also not exposed.
653
654Almost all libpng APIs require a pointer to a png_struct as the first argument.
655Many (in particular the png_set and png_get APIs) also require a pointer
656to png_info as the second argument. Some application visible macros
657defined in png.h designed for basic data access (reading and writing
658integers in the PNG format) don't take a png_info pointer, but it's almost
659always safe to assume that a (png_struct*) has to be passed to call an API
660function.
661
662You can have more than one png_info structure associated with an image,
663as illustrated in pngtest.c, one for information valid prior to the
664IDAT chunks and another (called "end_info" below) for things after them.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800665
666The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
667And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
668
669#include <png.h>
670
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700671and also (as of libpng-1.5.0) the zlib header file, if you need it:

675.SS Types
676
677The png.h header file defines a number of integral types used by the
678APIs. Most of these are fairly obvious; for example types corresponding
679to integers of particular sizes and types for passing color values.
680
681One exception is how non-integral numbers are handled. For application
682convenience most APIs that take such numbers have C (double) arguments;
683however, internally PNG, and libpng, use 32 bit signed integers and encode
684the value by multiplying by 100,000. As of libpng 1.5.0 a convenience
685macro PNG_FP_1 is defined in png.h along with a type (png_fixed_point)
686which is simply (png_int_32).
687
688All APIs that take (double) arguments also have a matching API that
689takes the corresponding fixed point integer arguments. The fixed point
690API has the same name as the floating point one with "_fixed" appended.
691The actual range of values permitted in the APIs is frequently less than
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +0530692the full range of (png_fixed_point) (\-21474 to +21474). When APIs require
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700693a non-negative argument the type is recorded as png_uint_32 above. Consult
694the header file and the text below for more information.
695
696Special care must be take with sCAL chunk handling because the chunk itself
697uses non-integral values encoded as strings containing decimal floating point
698numbers. See the comments in the header file.
699
700.SS Configuration
701
702The main header file function declarations are frequently protected by C
703preprocessing 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
713The library can be built without support for these APIs, although a
714standard build will have all implemented APIs. Application programs
715should check the feature macros before using an API for maximum
716portability. From libpng 1.5.0 the feature macros set during the build
717of libpng are recorded in the header file "pnglibconf.h" and this file
718is always included by png.h.
719
720If you don't need to change the library configuration from the default, skip to
721the next section ("Reading").
722
723Notice that some of the makefiles in the 'scripts' directory and (in 1.5.0) all
724of the build project files in the 'projects' directory simply copy
725scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to pnglibconf.h. This means that these build
726systems do not permit easy auto-configuration of the library - they only
727support the default configuration.
728
729The easiest way to make minor changes to the libpng configuration when
730auto-configuration is supported is to add definitions to the command line
731using (typically) CPPFLAGS. For example:
732
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +0530733CPPFLAGS=\-DPNG_NO_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700734
735will change the internal libpng math implementation for gamma correction and
736other arithmetic calculations to fixed point, avoiding the need for fast
737floating point support. The result can be seen in the generated pnglibconf.h -
738make sure it contains the changed feature macro setting.
739
740If you need to make more extensive configuration changes - more than one or two
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +0530741feature macro settings - you can either add \-DPNG_USER_CONFIG to the build
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700742command line and put a list of feature macro settings in pngusr.h or you can set
743DFA_XTRA (a makefile variable) to a file containing the same information in the
744form of 'option' settings.
745
746A. Changing pnglibconf.h
747
748A variety of methods exist to build libpng. Not all of these support
749reconfiguration of pnglibconf.h. To reconfigure pnglibconf.h it must either be
750rebuilt from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa using awk or it must be edited by hand.
751
752Hand editing is achieved by copying scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to
753pnglibconf.h and changing the lines defining the supported features, paying
754very close attention to the 'option' information in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
755that describes those features and their requirements. This is easy to get
756wrong.
757
758B. Configuration using DFA_XTRA
759
760Rebuilding from pnglibconf.dfa is easy if a functioning 'awk', or a later
761variant such as 'nawk' or 'gawk', is available. The configure build will
762automatically find an appropriate awk and build pnglibconf.h.
763The scripts/pnglibconf.mak file contains a set of make rules for doing the
764same thing if configure is not used, and many of the makefiles in the scripts
765directory use this approach.
766
767When rebuilding simply write a new file containing changed options and set
768DFA_XTRA to the name of this file. This causes the build to append the new file
769to the end of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. The pngusr.dfa file should contain lines
770of the following forms:
771
772everything = off
773
774This turns all optional features off. Include it at the start of pngusr.dfa to
775make it easier to build a minimal configuration. You will need to turn at least
776some features on afterward to enable either reading or writing code, or both.
777
778option feature on
779option feature off
780
781Enable or disable a single feature. This will automatically enable other
782features required by a feature that is turned on or disable other features that
783require a feature which is turned off. Conflicting settings will cause an error
784message to be emitted by awk.
785
786setting feature default value
787
788Changes the default value of setting 'feature' to 'value'. There are a small
789number of settings listed at the top of pnglibconf.h, they are documented in the
790source code. Most of these values have performance implications for the library
791but most of them have no visible effect on the API. Some can also be overridden
792from the API.
793
794This method of building a customized pnglibconf.h is illustrated in
795contrib/pngminim/*. See the "$(PNGCONF):" target in the makefile and
796pngusr.dfa in these directories.
797
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +0530798C. Configuration using PNG_USER_CONFIG
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700799
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +0530800If \-DPNG_USER_CONFIG is added to the CPPFLAGS when pnglibconf.h is built,
801the file pngusr.h will automatically be included before the options in
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700802scripts/pnglibconf.dfa are processed. Your pngusr.h file should contain only
803macro definitions turning features on or off or setting settings.
804
805Apart from the global setting "everything = off" all the options listed above
806can be set using macros in pngusr.h:
807
808#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
809
810is equivalent to:
811
812option feature on
813
814#define PNG_NO_feature
815
816is equivalent to:
817
818option feature off
819
820#define PNG_feature value
821
822is equivalent to:
823
824setting feature default value
825
826Notice that in both cases, pngusr.dfa and pngusr.h, the contents of the
827pngusr file you supply override the contents of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
828
829If confusing or incomprehensible behavior results it is possible to
830examine the intermediate file pnglibconf.dfn to find the full set of
831dependency information for each setting and option. Simply locate the
832feature in the file and read the C comments that precede it.
833
834This method is also illustrated in the contrib/pngminim/* makefiles and
835pngusr.h.

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800837.SH III. Reading
838
839We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
840in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
841of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While
842progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
843need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
844file.
845
846.SS Setup
847
848You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
849so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you
850will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
851file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
852To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -0400853png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the
854corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise.
855Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the
856prediction.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800857
858If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
859you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -0500860of the file, and you also have to make a call to png_set_sig_bytes()
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800861with the number of bytes you read from the beginning. Libpng will
862then 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
865to replace them with custom functions. See the discussion under
866Customizing libpng.

884
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800885Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized. In
886order to ensure that the size of these structures is correct even with a
887dynamically linked libpng, there are functions to initialize and
888allocate the structures. We also pass the library version, optional
889pointers to error handling functions, and a pointer to a data struct for
890use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
891be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section
892on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
893The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
894create the structure, so your application should check for that.

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800910 }
911
912If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700913use a libpng that was built with PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED defined, and use
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800914png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
915
916 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700917 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800918 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
919 user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
920
921The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
922and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
923are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
924handling and memory alloc/free functions.
925
926When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
927to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
928your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700929routines, you will need to update the longjmp buffer every time you enter
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800930a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
931
932See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
933information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error
934handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
935on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
936back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
937free any memory.
938
939 if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
940 {
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700941 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800942 &end_info);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700943 fclose(fp);
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +0100944 return ERROR;
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800945 }
946
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700947Pass (png_infopp)NULL instead of &end_info if you didn't create
948an end_info structure.
949
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800950If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700951you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800952errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
953
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700954You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
955more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
956return.
957
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800958Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to
959use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
960valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
961opened in binary mode. If you wish to handle reading data in another
962way, you need not call the png_init_io() function, but you must then
963implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng
964section below.
965
966 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
967
968If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
969the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
970libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
971
972 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
973
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700974You can change the zlib compression buffer size to be used while
975reading compressed data with
976
977 png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, buffer_size);
978
979where the default size is 8192 bytes. Note that the buffer size
980is changed immediately and the buffer is reallocated immediately,
981instead of setting a flag to be acted upon later.
982
983If you want CRC errors to be handled in a different manner than
984the default, use
985
986 png_set_crc_action(png_ptr, crit_action, ancil_action);
987
988The values for png_set_crc_action() say how libpng is to handle CRC errors in
989ancillary and critical chunks, and whether to use the data contained
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -0400990therein. Starting with libpng-1.6.26, this also governs how an ADLER32 error
991is handled while reading the IDAT chunk. Note that it is impossible to
992"discard" data in a critical chunk.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -0700993
994Choices for (int) crit_action are
995 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
996 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
997 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
998 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
999 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
1000
1001Choices for (int) ancil_action are
1002 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
1003 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
1004 PNG_CRC_WARN_DISCARD 2 warn/discard data
1005 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
1006 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
1007 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
1008
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04001009When the setting for crit_action is PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE, the CRC and ADLER32
1010checksums are not only ignored, but they are not evaluated.
1011
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001012.SS Setting up callback code
1013
1014You can set up a callback function to handle any unknown chunks in the
1015input stream. You must supply the function
1016
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001017 read_chunk_callback(png_structp png_ptr,
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001018 png_unknown_chunkp chunk);
1019 {
1020 /* The unknown chunk structure contains your
1021 chunk data, along with similar data for any other
1022 unknown chunks: */
1023
1024 png_byte name[5];
1025 png_byte *data;
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01001026 size_t size;
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001027
1028 /* Note that libpng has already taken care of
1029 the CRC handling */
1030
1031 /* put your code here. Search for your chunk in the
1032 unknown chunk structure, process it, and return one
1033 of the following: */
1034
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01001035 return \-n; /* chunk had an error */
1036 return 0; /* did not recognize */
1037 return n; /* success */
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001038 }
1039
1040(You can give your function another name that you like instead of
1041"read_chunk_callback")
1042
1043To inform libpng about your function, use
1044
1045 png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
1046 read_chunk_callback);
1047
1048This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
1049you can retrieve with
1050
1051 png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
1052
1053If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001054chunks which the callback does not handle will be saved when read. You can
1055cause them to be discarded by returning '1' ("handled") instead of '0'. This
1056behavior will change in libpng 1.7 and the default handling set by the
1057png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below, will be used when the
1058callback returns 0. If you want the existing behavior you should set the global
1059default to PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE now; this is compatible with all current
1060versions of libpng and with 1.7. Libpng 1.6 issues a warning if you keep the
1061default, or PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER, and the callback returns 0.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001062
1063At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
1064called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
1065a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
1066You must supply a function
1067
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001068 void read_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr,
1069 png_uint_32 row, int pass);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001070 {
1071 /* put your code here */
1072 }
1073
1074(You can give it another name that you like instead of "read_row_callback")
1075
1076To inform libpng about your function, use
1077
1078 png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
1079
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001080When this function is called the row has already been completely processed and
1081the 'row' and 'pass' refer to the next row to be handled. For the
1082non-interlaced case the row that was just handled is simply one less than the
1083passed in row number, and pass will always be 0. For the interlaced case the
1084same applies unless the row value is 0, in which case the row just handled was
1085the last one from one of the preceding passes. Because interlacing may skip a
Alex Naidis7a055fd2016-10-01 12:23:07 +02001086pass you cannot be sure that the preceding pass is just 'pass\-1'; if you really
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001087need to know what the last pass is record (row,pass) from the callback and use
1088the last recorded value each time.
1089
1090As with the user transform you can find the output row using the
1091PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW macro.

1094
1095Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
1096input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal
1097behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
The Android Open Source Project4215dd12009-03-09 11:52:12 -07001098various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This
1099behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known
1100chunk types. To change this, you can call:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001101
1102 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,
1103 chunk_list, num_chunks);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001104
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001105 keep - 0: default unknown chunk handling
1106 1: ignore; do not keep
1107 2: keep only if safe-to-copy
1108 3: keep even if unsafe-to-copy

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001110 You can use these definitions:
1111 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT 0
1112 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1
1113 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2
1114 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001115
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001116 chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
1117 five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001118 num_chunks is positive; ignored if
1119 numchunks <= 0).
1120
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001121 num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001122 unknown chunks are affected. If positive,
1123 only the chunks in the list are affected,
1124 and if negative all unknown chunks and
1125 all known chunks except for the IHDR,
1126 PLTE, tRNS, IDAT, and IEND chunks are
1127 affected.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001128
1129Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
1130list of png_unknown_chunk structures. If a chunk that is normally
1131known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
1132according to the "keep" directive. If a chunk is named in successive
1133instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
1134take precedence. The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
1135chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001136If you know that your application will never make use of some particular
1137chunks, use PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER (or 1) as demonstrated below.

Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04001173.SS User limits
1174
1175The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301176large as 2^(31\-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05001177For safety, libpng imposes a default limit of 1 million rows and columns.
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04001178Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05001179you wish to change these limits, you can use
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04001180
1181 png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
1182
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05001183to set your own limits (libpng may reject some very wide images
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04001184anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
1185
1186You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
1187before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001188

Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04001197The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05001198allowed in a PNG datastream. By default, libpng imposes a limit of
1199a total of 1000 sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks to be stored.
1200If you have set up both info_ptr and end_info_ptr, the limit applies
1201separately to each. You can change the limit on the total number of such
1202chunks that will be stored, with
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04001203
1204 png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);
1205
1206where 0x7fffffffL means unlimited. You can retrieve this limit with
1207
1208 chunk_cache_max = png_get_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr);
1209
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05001210Libpng imposes a limit of 8 Megabytes (8,000,000 bytes) on the amount of
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04001211memory that any chunk other than IDAT can occupy, originally or when
1212decompressed (prior to libpng-1.6.32 the limit was only applied to compressed
1213chunks after decompression). You can change this limit with
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001214
1215 png_set_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_malloc_max);

1217and you can retrieve the limit with
1218
1219 chunk_malloc_max = png_get_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr);

1221Any chunks that would cause either of these limits to be exceeded will
1222be ignored.
1223
1224.SS Information about your system
1225
1226If you intend to display the PNG or to incorporate it in other image data you
1227need to tell libpng information about your display or drawing surface so that
1228libpng can convert the values in the image to match the display.
1229
1230From libpng-1.5.4 this information can be set before reading the PNG file
1231header. In earlier versions png_set_gamma() existed but behaved incorrectly if
1232called before the PNG file header had been read and png_set_alpha_mode() did not
1233exist.
1234
1235If you need to support versions prior to libpng-1.5.4 test the version number
1236as illustrated below using "PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504" and follow the procedures
1237described in the appropriate manual page.
1238
1239You give libpng the encoding expected by your system expressed as a 'gamma'
1240value. You can also specify a default encoding for the PNG file in
1241case the required information is missing from the file. By default libpng
1242assumes that the PNG data matches your system, to keep this default call:
1243
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301244 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, output_gamma);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001245
1246or you can use the fixed point equivalent:
1247
1248 png_set_gamma_fixed(png_ptr, PNG_FP_1*screen_gamma,
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301249 PNG_FP_1*output_gamma);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001250
1251If you don't know the gamma for your system it is probably 2.2 - a good
1252approximation to the IEC standard for display systems (sRGB). If images are
1253too contrasty or washed out you got the value wrong - check your system
1254documentation!
1255
1256Many systems permit the system gamma to be changed via a lookup table in the
1257display driver, a few systems, including older Macs, change the response by
1258default. As of 1.5.4 three special values are available to handle common
1259situations:
1260
1261 PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB: Indicates that the system conforms to the
1262 IEC 61966-2-1 standard. This matches almost
1263 all systems.
1264 PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18: Indicates that the system is an older
1265 (pre Mac OS 10.6) Apple Macintosh system with
1266 the default settings.
1267 PNG_GAMMA_LINEAR: Just the fixed point value for 1.0 - indicates
1268 that the system expects data with no gamma
1269 encoding.
1270
1271You would use the linear (unencoded) value if you need to process the pixel
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301272values further because this avoids the need to decode and re-encode each
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001273component value whenever arithmetic is performed. A lot of graphics software
1274uses linear values for this reason, often with higher precision component values
1275to preserve overall accuracy.
1276
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301277
1278The output_gamma value expresses how to decode the output values, not how
1279they are encoded. The values used correspond to the normal numbers used to
1280describe the overall gamma of a computer display system; for example 2.2 for
1281an sRGB conformant system. The values are scaled by 100000 in the _fixed
1282version of the API (so 220000 for sRGB.)
1283
1284The inverse of the value is always used to provide a default for the PNG file
1285encoding if it has no gAMA chunk and if png_set_gamma() has not been called
1286to override the PNG gamma information.
1287
1288When the ALPHA_OPTIMIZED mode is selected the output gamma is used to encode
1289opaque pixels however pixels with lower alpha values are not encoded,
1290regardless of the output gamma setting.
1291
1292When the standard Porter Duff handling is requested with mode 1 the output
1293encoding is set to be linear and the output_gamma value is only relevant
1294as a default for input data that has no gamma information. The linear output
1295encoding will be overridden if png_set_gamma() is called - the results may be
1296highly unexpected!
1297
1298The following numbers are derived from the sRGB standard and the research
1299behind it. sRGB is defined to be approximated by a PNG gAMA chunk value of
13000.45455 (1/2.2) for PNG. The value implicitly includes any viewing
1301correction required to take account of any differences in the color
1302environment of the original scene and the intended display environment; the
1303value expresses how to *decode* the image for display, not how the original
1304data was *encoded*.
1305
1306sRGB provides a peg for the PNG standard by defining a viewing environment.
1307sRGB itself, and earlier TV standards, actually use a more complex transform
1308(a linear portion then a gamma 2.4 power law) than PNG can express. (PNG is
1309limited to simple power laws.) By saying that an image for direct display on
1310an sRGB conformant system should be stored with a gAMA chunk value of 45455
1311(11.3.3.2 and 11.3.3.5 of the ISO PNG specification) the PNG specification
1312makes it possible to derive values for other display systems and
1313environments.
1314
1315The Mac value is deduced from the sRGB based on an assumption that the actual
1316extra viewing correction used in early Mac display systems was implemented as
1317a power 1.45 lookup table.
1318
1319Any system where a programmable lookup table is used or where the behavior of
1320the final display device characteristics can be changed requires system
1321specific code to obtain the current characteristic. However this can be
1322difficult and most PNG gamma correction only requires an approximate value.
1323
1324By default, if png_set_alpha_mode() is not called, libpng assumes that all
1325values are unencoded, linear, values and that the output device also has a
1326linear characteristic. This is only very rarely correct - it is invariably
1327better to call png_set_alpha_mode() with PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB than rely on the
1328default if you don't know what the right answer is!
1329
1330The special value PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18 indicates an older Mac system (pre Mac OS
133110.6) which used a correction table to implement a somewhat lower gamma on an
1332otherwise sRGB system.
1333
1334Both these values are reserved (not simple gamma values) in order to allow
1335more precise correction internally in the future.
1336
1337NOTE: the values can be passed to either the fixed or floating
1338point APIs, but the floating point API will also accept floating point
1339values.
1340
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001341The second thing you may need to tell libpng about is how your system handles
1342alpha channel information. Some, but not all, PNG files contain an alpha
1343channel. To display these files correctly you need to compose the data onto a
1344suitable background, as described in the PNG specification.
1345
1346Libpng only supports composing onto a single color (using png_set_background;
1347see below). Otherwise you must do the composition yourself and, in this case,
1348you may need to call png_set_alpha_mode:
1349
1350 #if PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504
1351 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, mode, screen_gamma);
1352 #else
1353 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 1.0/screen_gamma);
1354 #endif
1355
1356The screen_gamma value is the same as the argument to png_set_gamma; however,
1357how it affects the output depends on the mode. png_set_alpha_mode() sets the
1358file gamma default to 1/screen_gamma, so normally you don't need to call
1359png_set_gamma. If you need different defaults call png_set_gamma() before
1360png_set_alpha_mode() - if you call it after it will override the settings made
1361by png_set_alpha_mode().
1362
1363The mode is as follows:
1364
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301365 PNG_ALPHA_PNG: The data is encoded according to the PNG
1366specification. Red, green and blue, or gray, components are
1367gamma encoded color values and are not premultiplied by the
1368alpha value. The alpha value is a linear measure of the
1369contribution of the pixel to the corresponding final output pixel.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001370
1371You should normally use this format if you intend to perform
1372color correction on the color values; most, maybe all, color
1373correction software has no handling for the alpha channel and,
1374anyway, the math to handle pre-multiplied component values is
1375unnecessarily complex.
1376
1377Before you do any arithmetic on the component values you need
1378to remove the gamma encoding and multiply out the alpha
1379channel. See the PNG specification for more detail. It is
1380important to note that when an image with an alpha channel is
1381scaled, linear encoded, pre-multiplied component values must
1382be used!
1383
1384The remaining modes assume you don't need to do any further color correction or
1385that if you do, your color correction software knows all about alpha (it
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301386probably doesn't!). They 'associate' the alpha with the color information by
1387storing color channel values that have been scaled by the alpha. The
1388advantage is that the color channels can be resampled (the image can be
1389scaled) in this form. The disadvantage is that normal practice is to store
1390linear, not (gamma) encoded, values and this requires 16-bit channels for
1391still images rather than the 8-bit channels that are just about sufficient if
1392gamma encoding is used. In addition all non-transparent pixel values,
1393including completely opaque ones, must be gamma encoded to produce the final
1394image. These are the 'STANDARD', 'ASSOCIATED' or 'PREMULTIPLIED' modes
1395described below (the latter being the two common names for associated alpha
1396color channels). Note that PNG files always contain non-associated color
1397channels; png_set_alpha_mode() with one of the modes causes the decoder to
1398convert the pixels to an associated form before returning them to your
1399application.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001400
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301401Since it is not necessary to perform arithmetic on opaque color values so
1402long as they are not to be resampled and are in the final color space it is
1403possible to optimize the handling of alpha by storing the opaque pixels in
1404the PNG format (adjusted for the output color space) while storing partially
1405opaque pixels in the standard, linear, format. The accuracy required for
1406standard alpha composition is relatively low, because the pixels are
1407isolated, therefore typically the accuracy loss in storing 8-bit linear
1408values is acceptable. (This is not true if the alpha channel is used to
1409simulate transparency over large areas - use 16 bits or the PNG mode in
1410this case!) This is the 'OPTIMIZED' mode. For this mode a pixel is
1411treated as opaque only if the alpha value is equal to the maximum value.
1412
1413 PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD: The data libpng produces is encoded in the
1414standard way assumed by most correctly written graphics software.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001415The gamma encoding will be removed by libpng and the
1416linear component values will be pre-multiplied by the
1417alpha channel.
1418
1419With this format the final image must be re-encoded to
1420match the display gamma before the image is displayed.
1421If your system doesn't do that, yet still seems to
1422perform arithmetic on the pixels without decoding them,
1423it is broken - check out the modes below.
1424
1425With PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD libpng always produces linear
1426component values, whatever screen_gamma you supply. The
1427screen_gamma value is, however, used as a default for
1428the file gamma if the PNG file has no gamma information.
1429
1430If you call png_set_gamma() after png_set_alpha_mode() you
1431will override the linear encoding. Instead the
1432pre-multiplied pixel values will be gamma encoded but
1433the alpha channel will still be linear. This may
1434actually match the requirements of some broken software,
1435but it is unlikely.
1436
1437While linear 8-bit data is often used it has
1438insufficient precision for any image with a reasonable
1439dynamic range. To avoid problems, and if your software
1440supports it, use png_set_expand_16() to force all
1441components to 16 bits.
1442
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301443 PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED: This mode is the same as PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD
1444except that completely opaque pixels are gamma encoded according to
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001445the screen_gamma value. Pixels with alpha less than 1.0
1446will still have linear components.
1447
1448Use this format if you have control over your
1449compositing software and so don't do other arithmetic
1450(such as scaling) on the data you get from libpng. Your
1451compositing software can simply copy opaque pixels to
1452the output but still has linear values for the
1453non-opaque pixels.
1454
1455In normal compositing, where the alpha channel encodes
1456partial pixel coverage (as opposed to broad area
1457translucency), the inaccuracies of the 8-bit
1458representation of non-opaque pixels are irrelevant.
1459
1460You can also try this format if your software is broken;
1461it might look better.
1462
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301463 PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN: This is PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD; however, all component
1464values, including the alpha channel are gamma encoded. This is
1465broken because, in practice, no implementation that uses this choice
1466correctly undoes the encoding before handling alpha composition. Use this
1467choice only if other serious errors in the software or hardware you use
1468mandate it. In most cases of broken software or hardware the bug in the
1469final display manifests as a subtle halo around composited parts of the
1470image. You may not even perceive this as a halo; the composited part of
1471the image may simply appear separate from the background, as though it had
1472been cut out of paper and pasted on afterward.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001473
1474If you don't have to deal with bugs in software or hardware, or if you can fix
1475them, there are three recommended ways of using png_set_alpha_mode():
1476
1477 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_PNG,
1478 screen_gamma);
1479
1480You can do color correction on the result (libpng does not currently
1481support color correction internally). When you handle the alpha channel
1482you need to undo the gamma encoding and multiply out the alpha.
1483
1484 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD,
1485 screen_gamma);
1486 png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
1487
1488If you are using the high level interface, don't call png_set_expand_16();
1489instead pass PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16 to the interface.
1490
1491With this mode you can't do color correction, but you can do arithmetic,
1492including composition and scaling, on the data without further processing.
1493
1494 png_set_alpha_mode(png_ptr, PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED,
1495 screen_gamma);
1496
1497You can avoid the expansion to 16-bit components with this mode, but you
1498lose the ability to scale the image or perform other linear arithmetic.
1499All you can do is compose the result onto a matching output. Since this
1500mode is libpng-specific you also need to write your own composition
1501software.
1502
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301503The following are examples of calls to png_set_alpha_mode to achieve the
1504required overall gamma correction and, where necessary, alpha
1505premultiplication.
1506
1507 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1508
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04001509Choices for the alpha_mode are
1510
1511 PNG_ALPHA_PNG 0 /* according to the PNG standard */
1512 PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD 1 /* according to Porter/Duff */
1513 PNG_ALPHA_ASSOCIATED 1 /* as above; this is the normal practice */
1514 PNG_ALPHA_PREMULTIPLIED 1 /* as above */
1515 PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED 2 /* 'PNG' for opaque pixels, else 'STANDARD' */
1516 PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN 3 /* the alpha channel is gamma encoded */
1517
1518PNG_ALPHA_PNG is the default libpng handling of the alpha channel. It is not
1519pre-multiplied into the color components. In addition the call states
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301520that the output is for a sRGB system and causes all PNG files without gAMA
1521chunks to be assumed to be encoded using sRGB.
1522
1523 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_GAMMA_MAC);
1524
1525In this case the output is assumed to be something like an sRGB conformant
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01001526display preceded by a power-law lookup table of power 1.45. This is how
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301527early Mac systems behaved.
1528
1529 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD, PNG_GAMMA_LINEAR);
1530
1531This is the classic Jim Blinn approach and will work in academic
1532environments where everything is done by the book. It has the shortcoming
1533of assuming that input PNG data with no gamma information is linear - this
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04001534is unlikely to be correct unless the PNG files were generated locally.
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301535Most of the time the output precision will be so low as to show
1536significant banding in dark areas of the image.
1537
1538 png_set_expand_16(pp);
1539 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1540
1541This is a somewhat more realistic Jim Blinn inspired approach. PNG files
1542are assumed to have the sRGB encoding if not marked with a gamma value and
1543the output is always 16 bits per component. This permits accurate scaling
1544and processing of the data. If you know that your input PNG files were
1545generated locally you might need to replace PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB with the
1546correct value for your system.
1547
1548 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1549
1550If you just need to composite the PNG image onto an existing background
1551and if you control the code that does this you can use the optimization
1552setting. In this case you just copy completely opaque pixels to the
1553output. For pixels that are not completely transparent (you just skip
1554those) you do the composition math using png_composite or png_composite_16
1555below then encode the resultant 8-bit or 16-bit values to match the output
1556encoding.
1557
1558 Other cases
1559
1560If neither the PNG nor the standard linear encoding work for you because
1561of the software or hardware you use then you have a big problem. The PNG
1562case will probably result in halos around the image. The linear encoding
1563will probably result in a washed out, too bright, image (it's actually too
1564contrasty.) Try the ALPHA_OPTIMIZED mode above - this will probably
1565substantially reduce the halos. Alternatively try:
1566
1567 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1568
1569This option will also reduce the halos, but there will be slight dark
1570halos round the opaque parts of the image where the background is light.
1571In the OPTIMIZED mode the halos will be light halos where the background
1572is dark. Take your pick - the halos are unavoidable unless you can get
1573your hardware/software fixed! (The OPTIMIZED approach is slightly
1574faster.)
1575
1576When the default gamma of PNG files doesn't match the output gamma.
1577If you have PNG files with no gamma information png_set_alpha_mode allows
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01001578you to provide a default gamma, but it also sets the output gamma to the
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05301579matching value. If you know your PNG files have a gamma that doesn't
1580match the output you can take advantage of the fact that
1581png_set_alpha_mode always sets the output gamma but only sets the PNG
1582default if it is not already set:
1583
1584 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);
1585 png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_GAMMA_MAC);
1586
1587The first call sets both the default and the output gamma values, the
1588second call overrides the output gamma without changing the default. This
1589is easier than achieving the same effect with png_set_gamma. You must use
1590PNG_ALPHA_PNG for the first call - internal checking in png_set_alpha will
1591fire if more than one call to png_set_alpha_mode and png_set_background is
1592made in the same read operation, however multiple calls with PNG_ALPHA_PNG
1593are ignored.
1594
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001595If you don't need, or can't handle, the alpha channel you can call
1596png_set_background() to remove it by compositing against a fixed color. Don't
1597call png_set_strip_alpha() to do this - it will leave spurious pixel values in
1598transparent parts of this image.
1599
1600 png_set_background(png_ptr, &background_color,
1601 PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0, 1);
1602
1603The background_color is an RGB or grayscale value according to the data format
1604libpng will produce for you. Because you don't yet know the format of the PNG
1605file, if you call png_set_background at this point you must arrange for the
1606format produced by libpng to always have 8-bit or 16-bit components and then
1607store the color as an 8-bit or 16-bit color as appropriate. The color contains
1608separate gray and RGB component values, so you can let libpng produce gray or
1609RGB output according to the input format, but low bit depth grayscale images
1610must always be converted to at least 8-bit format. (Even though low bit depth
1611grayscale images can't have an alpha channel they can have a transparent
1612color!)
1613
1614You set the transforms you need later, either as flags to the high level
1615interface or libpng API calls for the low level interface. For reference the
1616settings and API calls required are:
1617
16188-bit values:
1619 PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 | PNG_EXPAND
1620 png_set_expand(png_ptr); png_set_scale_16(png_ptr);
1621
1622 If you must get exactly the same inaccurate results
1623 produced by default in versions prior to libpng-1.5.4,
1624 use PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 and png_set_strip_16(png_ptr)
1625 instead.
1626
162716-bit values:
1628 PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND_16
1629 png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
1630
1631In either case palette image data will be expanded to RGB. If you just want
1632color data you can add PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB or png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr)
1633to the list.
1634
1635Calling png_set_background before the PNG file header is read will not work
1636prior to libpng-1.5.4. Because the failure may result in unexpected warnings or
1637errors it is therefore much safer to call png_set_background after the head has
1638been read. Unfortunately this means that prior to libpng-1.5.4 it cannot be
1639used with the high level interface.

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001641.SS The high-level read interface
1642
1643At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
1644read interface, or through a sequence of low-level read operations.
1645You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read
1646the entire image into memory, and (b) the input transformations
1647you want to do are limited to the following set:
1648
1649 PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001650 PNG_TRANSFORM_SCALE_16 Strip 16-bit samples to
1651 8-bit accurately
1652 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16 Chop 16-bit samples to
1653 8-bit less accurately

1656 samples to bytes

1660 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
1661 PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
1662 sBIT depth
1663 PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
1664 to BGRA
1665 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
1666 to AG
1667 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
1668 to transparency

Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04001670 PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB Expand grayscale samples
1671 to RGB (or GA to RGBA)

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001673
1674(This excludes setting a background color, doing gamma transformation,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001675quantizing, and setting filler.) If this is the case, simply do this:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001676
1677 png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
1678
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04001679where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some
1680set of transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_read_info(),
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001681followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
1682then png_read_image(), and finally png_read_end().
1683
1684(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
1685to transformation parameters required by some future input transform.)
1686
1687You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
1688when you use png_read_png().
1689
1690After you have called png_read_png(), you can retrieve the image data
1691with
1692
1693 row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1694
1695where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
1696
1697 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
1698
1699If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
1700row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
1701
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001702 if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/(sizeof (png_byte)))

1721
1722Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04001723row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block, but first
1724be sure that your platform is able to allocate such a large buffer:
1725
1726 /* Guard against integer overflow */
1727 if (height > PNG_SIZE_MAX/(width*pixel_size)) {
1728 png_error(png_ptr,"image_data buffer would be too large");
1729 }
1730
1731 png_bytep buffer=png_malloc(png_ptr,height*width*pixel_size);
1732
1733 for (int i=0; i<height, i++)
1734 row_pointers[i]=buffer+i*width*pixel_size;
1735

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001737
1738If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
1739row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
1740
1741If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001742do it, and it'll be free'ed by libpng when you call png_destroy_*().
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001743
1744.SS The low-level read interface
1745
1746If you are going the low-level route, you are now ready to read all
1747the file information up to the actual image data. You do this with a
1748call to png_read_info().
1749
1750 png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1751
1752This will process all chunks up to but not including the image data.
1753
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001754This also copies some of the data from the PNG file into the decode structure
1755for use in later transformations. Important information copied in is:
1756
17571) The PNG file gamma from the gAMA chunk. This overwrites the default value
1758provided by an earlier call to png_set_gamma or png_set_alpha_mode.
1759
17602) Prior to libpng-1.5.4 the background color from a bKGd chunk. This
1761damages the information provided by an earlier call to png_set_background
1762resulting in unexpected behavior. Libpng-1.5.4 no longer does this.
1763
17643) The number of significant bits in each component value. Libpng uses this to
1765optimize gamma handling by reducing the internal lookup table sizes.
1766
17674) The transparent color information from a tRNS chunk. This can be modified by
1768a later call to png_set_tRNS.

1876 bytes of signature before starting
1877 libpng, the remaining 4 bytes would
1878 be in signature[4] through signature[7]

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08001881These are also important, but their validity depends on whether the chunk
1882has been read. The png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr, PNG_INFO_<chunk>) and
1883png_get_<chunk>(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...) functions return non-zero if the

Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04001885png_get_<chunk> are set directly if they are simple data types, or a
1886pointer into the info_ptr is returned for any complex types.

Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07001888The colorspace data from gAMA, cHRM, sRGB, iCCP, and sBIT chunks
1889is simply returned to give the application information about how the
1890image was encoded. Libpng itself only does transformations using the file
1891gamma when combining semitransparent pixels with the background color, and,
1892since libpng-1.6.0, when converting between 8-bit sRGB and 16-bit linear pixels
1893within the simplified API. Libpng also uses the file gamma when converting
1894RGB to gray, beginning with libpng-1.0.5, if the application calls
1895png_set_rgb_to_gray()).

2164
2165 Note that because of the way the resolutions are
2166 stored internally, the inch conversions won't
2167 come out to exactly even number. For example,
2168 72 dpi is stored as 0.28346 pixels/meter, and
2169 when this is retrieved it is 71.9988 dpi, so
2170 be sure to round the returned value appropriately

2183
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002184 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown" if both
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002185 x and y are 0] if the data is not present or if the
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002186 chunk is present but the unit is the pixel. The
2187 remark about inexact inch conversions applies here
2188 as well, because a value in inches can't always be
2189 converted to microns and back without some loss
2190 of precision.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002191
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002192For more information, see the
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002193PNG specification for chunk contents. Be careful with trusting
2194rowbytes, as some of the transformations could increase the space
2195needed to hold a row (expand, filler, gray_to_rgb, etc.).
2196See png_read_update_info(), below.
2197
2198A quick word about text_ptr and num_text. PNG stores comments in
2199keyword/text pairs, one pair per chunk, with no limit on the number
2200of text chunks, and a 2^31 byte limit on their size. While there are
2201suggested keywords, there is no requirement to restrict the use to these
2202strings. It is strongly suggested that keywords and text be sensible
2203to humans (that's the point), so don't use abbreviations. Non-printing
2204symbols are not allowed. See the PNG specification for more details.
2205There is also no requirement to have text after the keyword.
2206
2207Keywords should be limited to 79 Latin-1 characters without leading or
2208trailing spaces, but non-consecutive spaces are allowed within the
2209keyword. It is possible to have the same keyword any number of times.
2210The text_ptr is an array of png_text structures, each holding a
2211pointer to a language string, a pointer to a keyword and a pointer to
2212a text string. The text string, language code, and translated
2213keyword may be empty or NULL pointers. The keyword/text
2214pairs are put into the array in the order that they are received.
2215However, some or all of the text chunks may be after the image, so, to
2216make sure you have read all the text chunks, don't mess with these
2217until after you read the stuff after the image. This will be
2218mentioned again below in the discussion that goes with png_read_end().
2219
2220.SS Input transformations
2221
2222After you've read the header information, you can set up the library
2223to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
2224ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
2225should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
2226type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002227certain color types and bit depths.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002228
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002229Transformations you request are ignored if they don't have any meaning for a
2230particular input data format. However some transformations can have an effect
2231as a result of a previous transformation. If you specify a contradictory set of
2232transformations, for example both adding and removing the alpha channel, you
2233cannot predict the final result.
2234
2235The color used for the transparency values should be supplied in the same
2236format/depth as the current image data. It is stored in the same format/depth
2237as the image data in a tRNS chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data.
2238
2239The color used for the background value depends on the need_expand argument as
2240described below.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002241
2242Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes
2243unless the library has been told to transform it into another format.
2244For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -050022452 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the byte,
2246unless png_set_packing() is called. 8-bit RGB data will be stored
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002247in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha()
2248is called to insert filler bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet.
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05002249
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -0800225016-bit RGB data will be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002251byte of the color value first, unless png_set_scale_16() is called to
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002252transform it to regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() or
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05002253png_set_add alpha() is called to insert two filler bytes, either before
2254or after each RRGGBB triplet. Similarly, 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002255be modified with png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), png_set_strip_16(),
2256or png_set_scale_16().
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002257
2258The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits,
2259changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is
2260transparency information in a tRNS chunk. This is most useful on
2261grayscale images with bit depths of 2 or 4 or if there is a multiple-image
2262viewing application that wishes to treat all images in the same way.
2263
2264 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_PALETTE)
2265 png_set_palette_to_rgb(png_ptr);
2266
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002267 if (png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr,
2268 PNG_INFO_tRNS)) png_set_tRNS_to_alpha(png_ptr);
2269
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002270 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY &&
2271 bit_depth < 8) png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8(png_ptr);
2272
2273The first two functions are actually aliases for png_set_expand(), added
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002274in libpng version 1.0.4, with the function names expanded to improve code
2275readability. In some future version they may actually do different
2276things.
2277
2278As of libpng version 1.2.9, png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was
2279added. It expands the sample depth without changing tRNS to alpha.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002280
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002281As of libpng version 1.5.2, png_set_expand_16() was added. It behaves as
2282png_set_expand(); however, the resultant channels have 16 bits rather than 8.
2283Use this when the output color or gray channels are made linear to avoid fairly
2284severe accuracy loss.
2285
2286 if (bit_depth < 16)
2287 png_set_expand_16(png_ptr);
2288
2289PNG can have files with 16 bits per channel. If you only can handle
22908 bits per channel, this will strip the pixels down to 8-bit.
2291
2292 if (bit_depth == 16)
2293#if PNG_LIBPNG_VER >= 10504
2294 png_set_scale_16(png_ptr);
2295#else
2296 png_set_strip_16(png_ptr);
2297#endif
2298
2299(The more accurate "png_set_scale_16()" API became available in libpng version
23001.5.4).
2301
2302If you need to process the alpha channel on the image separately from the image
2303data (for example if you convert it to a bitmap mask) it is possible to have
2304libpng strip the channel leaving just RGB or gray data:
2305
2306 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
2307 png_set_strip_alpha(png_ptr);
2308
2309If you strip the alpha channel you need to find some other way of dealing with
2310the information. If, instead, you want to convert the image to an opaque
2311version with no alpha channel use png_set_background; see below.
2312
2313As of libpng version 1.5.2, almost all useful expansions are supported, the
2314major ommissions are conversion of grayscale to indexed images (which can be
2315done trivially in the application) and conversion of indexed to grayscale (which
2316can be done by a trivial manipulation of the palette.)
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04002317
2318In the following table, the 01 means grayscale with depth<8, 31 means
2319indexed with depth<8, other numerals represent the color type, "T" means
2320the tRNS chunk is present, A means an alpha channel is present, and O
2321means tRNS or alpha is present but all pixels in the image are opaque.

2364right overall transformation. When two transforms are separated by a comma
2365either will do the job. When transforms are enclosed in [] the transform should
2366do the job but this is currently unimplemented - a different format will result
2367if the suggested transformations are used.

2369In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image
2370is the level of opacity. If you need the alpha channel in an image to
2371be the level of transparency instead of opacity, you can invert the
2372alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk data) after it's read, so that 0 is
2373fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit
2374images) is fully transparent, with
2375
2376 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
2377
2378PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
2379they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit
2380files. This code expands to 1 pixel per byte without changing the
2381values of the pixels:
2382
2383 if (bit_depth < 8)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002384 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002385
2386PNG files have possible bit depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. All pixels
2387stored in a PNG image have been "scaled" or "shifted" up to the next
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04002388higher possible bit depth (e.g. from 5 bits/sample in the range [0,31]
2389to 8 bits/sample in the range [0, 255]). However, it is also possible
2390to convert the PNG pixel data back to the original bit depth of the
2391image. This call reduces the pixels back down to the original bit depth:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002392
2393 png_color_8p sig_bit;
2394
2395 if (png_get_sBIT(png_ptr, info_ptr, &sig_bit))
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002396 png_set_shift(png_ptr, sig_bit);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002397
2398PNG files store 3-color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
2399changes the storage of the pixels to blue, green, red:
2400
2401 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2402 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002403 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002404
2405PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code expands them
2406into 4 or 8 bytes for windowing systems that need them in this format:
2407
2408 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002409 png_set_filler(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002410
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05002411where "filler" is the 8-bit or 16-bit number to fill with, and the location
2412is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether
2413you want the filler before the RGB or after. When filling an 8-bit pixel,
2414the least significant 8 bits of the number are used, if a 16-bit number is
2415supplied. This transformation does not affect images that already have full
2416alpha channels. To add an opaque alpha channel, use filler=0xffff and
2417PNG_FILLER_AFTER which will generate RGBA pixels.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002418
2419Note that png_set_filler() does not change the color type. If you want
2420to do that, you can add a true alpha channel with
2421
2422 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002423 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2424 png_set_add_alpha(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_AFTER);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002425
2426where "filler" contains the alpha value to assign to each pixel.
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05002427The png_set_add_alpha() function was added in libpng-1.2.7.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002428
2429If you are reading an image with an alpha channel, and you need the
2430data as ARGB instead of the normal PNG format RGBA:
2431
2432 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002433 png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002434
2435For some uses, you may want a grayscale image to be represented as
2436RGB. This code will do that conversion:
2437
2438 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
2439 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002440 png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002441
2442Conversely, you can convert an RGB or RGBA image to grayscale or grayscale
2443with alpha.
2444
2445 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2446 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002447 png_set_rgb_to_gray(png_ptr, error_action,
2448 double red_weight, double green_weight);

2453 image has any pixel where
2454 red != green or red != blue
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002455
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002456 error_action = 3: issue an error and abort the
2457 conversion if the original
2458 image has any pixel where
2459 red != green or red != blue
2460
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002461 red_weight: weight of red component
2462
2463 green_weight: weight of green component
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002464 If either weight is negative, default
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002465 weights are used.
2466
2467In the corresponding fixed point API the red_weight and green_weight values are
2468simply scaled by 100,000:
2469
2470 png_set_rgb_to_gray(png_ptr, error_action,
2471 png_fixed_point red_weight,
2472 png_fixed_point green_weight);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002473
2474If you have set error_action = 1 or 2, you can
2475later check whether the image really was gray, after processing
2476the image rows, with the png_get_rgb_to_gray_status(png_ptr) function.
2477It will return a png_byte that is zero if the image was gray or
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -070024781 if there were any non-gray pixels. Background and sBIT data
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002479will be silently converted to grayscale, using the green channel
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002480data for sBIT, regardless of the error_action setting.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002481
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002482The default values come from the PNG file cHRM chunk if present; otherwise, the
2483defaults correspond to the ITU-R recommendation 709, and also the sRGB color
2484space, as recommended in the Charles Poynton's Colour FAQ,

2490
2491Previous versions of this document, 1998 through 2002, recommended a slightly
2492different formula:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002493
2494 Y = 0.212671 * R + 0.715160 * G + 0.072169 * B
2495
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002496Libpng uses an integer approximation:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002497
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002498 Y = (6968 * R + 23434 * G + 2366 * B)/32768
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002499
2500The calculation is done in a linear colorspace, if the image gamma
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002501can be determined.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002502
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002503The png_set_background() function has been described already; it tells libpng to
2504composite images with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied
2505background color. For compatibility with versions of libpng earlier than
2506libpng-1.5.4 it is recommended that you call the function after reading the file
2507header, even if you don't want to use the color in a bKGD chunk, if one exists.
2508
2509If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
2510you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
2511the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page). You
2512need to tell libpng how the color is represented, both the format of the
2513component values in the color (the number of bits) and the gamma encoding of the
2514color. The function takes two arguments, background_gamma_mode and need_expand
2515to convey this information; however, only two combinations are likely to be
2516useful:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002517
2518 png_color_16 my_background;
2519 png_color_16p image_background;
2520
2521 if (png_get_bKGD(png_ptr, info_ptr, &image_background))
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002522 png_set_background(png_ptr, image_background,
2523 PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE, 1/*needs to be expanded*/, 1);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002524 else
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002525 png_set_background(png_ptr, &my_background,
2526 PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0/*do not expand*/, 1);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002527
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002528The second call was described above - my_background is in the format of the
2529final, display, output produced by libpng. Because you now know the format of
2530the PNG it is possible to avoid the need to choose either 8-bit or 16-bit
2531output and to retain palette images (the palette colors will be modified
2532appropriately and the tRNS chunk removed.) However, if you are doing this,
2533take great care not to ask for transformations without checking first that
2534they apply!
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002535
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002536In the first call the background color has the original bit depth and color type
2537of the PNG file. So, for palette images the color is supplied as a palette
2538index and for low bit greyscale images the color is a reduced bit value in
2539image_background->gray.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002540
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002541If you didn't call png_set_gamma() before reading the file header, for example
2542if you need your code to remain compatible with older versions of libpng prior
2543to libpng-1.5.4, this is the place to call it.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002544
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002545Do not call it if you called png_set_alpha_mode(); doing so will damage the
2546settings put in place by png_set_alpha_mode(). (If png_set_alpha_mode() is
2547supported then you can certainly do png_set_gamma() before reading the PNG
2548header.)
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002549
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002550This API unconditionally sets the screen and file gamma values, so it will
2551override the value in the PNG file unless it is called before the PNG file
2552reading starts. For this reason you must always call it with the PNG file
2553value when you call it in this position:
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002554
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002555 if (png_get_gAMA(png_ptr, info_ptr, &file_gamma))
2556 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, file_gamma);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002557
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002558 else
2559 png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 0.45455);
2560
2561If you need to reduce an RGB file to a paletted file, or if a paletted
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05002562file has more entries than will fit on your screen, png_set_quantize()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002563will do that. Note that this is a simple match quantization that merely
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002564finds the closest color available. This should work fairly well with
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002565optimized palettes, but fairly badly with linear color cubes. If you
2566pass a palette that is larger than maximum_colors, the file will
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002567reduce the number of colors in the palette so it will fit into
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002568maximum_colors. If there is a histogram, libpng will use it to make
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002569more intelligent choices when reducing the palette. If there is no
2570histogram, it may not do as good a job.

2596PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being one.
2597The following code will reverse this (make black be one and white be
2598zero):
2599
2600 if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2601 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2602
2603This function can also be used to invert grayscale and gray-alpha images:
2604
2605 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002606 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002607 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2608
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002609PNG files store 16-bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002610ie. most significant bits first). This code changes the storage to the
2611other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits first, the
2612way PCs store them):
2613
2614 if (bit_depth == 16)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002615 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002616
2617If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
2618need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
2619
2620 if (bit_depth < 8)
2621 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
2622
2623Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
2624the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
2625with
2626
2627 png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002628 read_transform_fn);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002629
2630You must supply the function
2631
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002632 void read_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
2633 row_info, png_bytep data)
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002634
2635See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002636after all of the other transformations have been processed. Take care with
2637interlaced images if you do the interlace yourself - the width of the row is the
2638width in 'row_info', not the overall image width.
2639
2640If supported, libpng provides two information routines that you can use to find
2641where you are in processing the image:
2642
2643 png_get_current_pass_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2644 png_get_current_row_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2645
2646Don't try using these outside a transform callback - firstly they are only
2647supported if user transforms are supported, secondly they may well return
2648unexpected results unless the row is actually being processed at the moment they
2649are called.
2650
2651With interlaced
2652images the value returned is the row in the input sub-image image. Use
2653PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(row, pass) and PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(col, pass) to
2654find the output pixel (x,y) given an interlaced sub-image pixel (row,col,pass).
2655
2656The discussion of interlace handling above contains more information on how to
2657use these values.

2659You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
2660callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
2661function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
2662function
2663
2664 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002665 user_depth, user_channels);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002666
2667The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
2668freeing any memory required for the user structure.
2669
2670You can retrieve the pointer via the function
2671png_get_user_transform_ptr(). For example:
2672
2673 voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002674 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002675
2676The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
2677but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
2678of the interlaced image.
2679
2680 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2681
2682After setting the transformations, libpng can update your png_info
2683structure to reflect any transformations you've requested with this
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002684call.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002685
2686 png_read_update_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2687
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002688This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes
2689field so you can use it to allocate your image memory. This function
2690will also update your palette with the correct screen_gamma and
2691background if these have been given with the calls above. You may
2692only call png_read_update_info() once with a particular info_ptr.
2693
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002694After you call png_read_update_info(), you can allocate any
2695memory you need to hold the image. The row data is simply
2696raw byte data for all forms of images. As the actual allocation
2697varies among applications, no example will be given. If you
2698are allocating one large chunk, you will need to build an
2699array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
2700of the functions below.
2701
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04002702Be sure that your platform can allocate the buffer that you'll need.
2703libpng internally checks for oversize width, but you'll need to
2704do your own check for number_of_rows*width*pixel_size if you are using
2705a multiple-row buffer:
2706
2707 /* Guard against integer overflow */
2708 if (number_of_rows > PNG_SIZE_MAX/(width*pixel_size)) {
2709 png_error(png_ptr,"image_data buffer would be too large");
2710 }
2711
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002712Remember: Before you call png_read_update_info(), the png_get_*()
2713functions return the values corresponding to the original PNG image.
2714After you call png_read_update_info the values refer to the image
2715that libpng will output. Consequently you must call all the png_set_
2716functions before you call png_read_update_info(). This is particularly
2717important for png_set_interlace_handling() - if you are going to call
2718png_read_update_info() you must call png_set_interlace_handling() before
2719it unless you want to receive interlaced output.
2720
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002721.SS Reading image data
2722
2723After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
2724The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you are
2725allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
2726call png_read_image() and libpng will read in all the image data
2727and put it in the memory area supplied. You will need to pass in
2728an array of pointers to each row.
2729
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002730This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
2731need to call png_set_interlace_handling() (unless you call
2732png_read_update_info()) or call this function multiple times, or any
2733of that other stuff necessary with png_read_rows().
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002734
2735 png_read_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
2736
2737where row_pointers is:
2738
2739 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
2740
2741You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
2742
2743If you don't want to read in the whole image at once, you can
2744use png_read_rows() instead. If there is no interlacing (check
2745interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_NONE), this is simple:
2746
2747 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002748 number_of_rows);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002749
2750where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
2751
2752If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with
2753a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
2754
2755 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
2756 png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);
2757
2758If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things
2759get somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002760interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7);
2761a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002762breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002763on an 8x8 grid. This number is defined (from libpng 1.5) as
2764PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES in png.h
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002765
2766libpng can fill out those images or it can give them to you "as is".
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002767It is almost always better to have libpng handle the interlacing for you.
2768If you want the images filled out, there are two ways to do that. The one
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002769mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover
2770those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method).
2771This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually
2772smooths out as more pixels are read. The other method is the "sparkle"
2773method, where pixels are drawn only in their final locations, with the
2774rest of the image remaining whatever colors they were initialized to
2775before the start of the read. The first method usually looks better,
2776but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows.
2777
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002778If, as is likely, you want libpng to expand the images, call this before
2779calling png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info():
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002780
2781 if (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002782 number_of_passes
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002783 = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2784
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002785This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
2786but may change if another interlace type is added. This function can be
2787called even if the file is not interlaced, where it will return one pass.
2788You then need to read the whole image 'number_of_passes' times. Each time
2789will distribute the pixels from the current pass to the correct place in
2790the output image, so you need to supply the same rows to png_read_rows in
2791each pass.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002792
2793If you are not going to display the image after each pass, but are
2794going to wait until the entire image is read in, use the sparkle
2795effect. This effect is faster and the end result of either method
2796is exactly the same. If you are planning on displaying the image
2797after each pass, the "rectangle" effect is generally considered the
2798better looking one.
2799
Alex Naidis7a055fd2016-10-01 12:23:07 +02002800If you only want the "sparkle" effect, just call png_read_row() or
2801png_read_rows() as
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002802normal, with the third parameter NULL. Make sure you make pass over
2803the image number_of_passes times, and you don't change the data in the
2804rows between calls. You can change the locations of the data, just
2805not the data. Each pass only writes the pixels appropriate for that
2806pass, and assumes the data from previous passes is still valid.
2807
2808 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002809 number_of_rows);
Alex Naidis7a055fd2016-10-01 12:23:07 +02002810 or
2811 png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002812
2813If you only want the first effect (the rectangles), do the same as
2814before except pass the row buffer in the third parameter, and leave
2815the second parameter NULL.
2816
2817 png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002818 number_of_rows);
Alex Naidis7a055fd2016-10-01 12:23:07 +02002819 or
2820 png_read_row(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002821
2822If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
2823png_read_rows() PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES times to read in all the images.
2824Each of the images is a valid image by itself; however, you will almost
2825certainly need to distribute the pixels from each sub-image to the
2826correct place. This is where everything gets very tricky.
2827
2828If you want to retrieve the separate images you must pass the correct
2829number of rows to each successive call of png_read_rows(). The calculation
2830gets pretty complicated for small images, where some sub-images may
2831not even exist because either their width or height ends up zero.
2832libpng provides two macros to help you in 1.5 and later versions:
2833
2834 png_uint_32 width = PNG_PASS_COLS(image_width, pass_number);
2835 png_uint_32 height = PNG_PASS_ROWS(image_height, pass_number);
2836
2837Respectively these tell you the width and height of the sub-image
2838corresponding to the numbered pass. 'pass' is in in the range 0 to 6 -
2839this can be confusing because the specification refers to the same passes
2840as 1 to 7! Be careful, you must check both the width and height before
2841calling png_read_rows() and not call it for that pass if either is zero.
2842
2843You can, of course, read each sub-image row by row. If you want to
2844produce optimal code to make a pixel-by-pixel transformation of an
2845interlaced image this is the best approach; read each row of each pass,
2846transform it, and write it out to a new interlaced image.
2847
2848If you want to de-interlace the image yourself libpng provides further
2849macros to help that tell you where to place the pixels in the output image.
2850Because the interlacing scheme is rectangular - sub-image pixels are always
2851arranged on a rectangular grid - all you need to know for each pass is the
2852starting column and row in the output image of the first pixel plus the
2853spacing between each pixel. As of libpng 1.5 there are four macros to
2854retrieve this information:
2855
2856 png_uint_32 x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2857 png_uint_32 y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2858 png_uint_32 xStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_COL_SHIFT(pass);
2859 png_uint_32 yStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_ROW_SHIFT(pass);
2860
2861These allow you to write the obvious loop:
2862
2863 png_uint_32 input_y = 0;
2864 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2865
2866 while (output_y < output_image_height)
2867 {
2868 png_uint_32 input_x = 0;
2869 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2870
2871 while (output_x < output_image_width)
2872 {
2873 image[output_y][output_x] =
2874 subimage[pass][input_y][input_x++];
2875
2876 output_x += xStep;
2877 }
2878
2879 ++input_y;
2880 output_y += yStep;
2881 }
2882
2883Notice that the steps between successive output rows and columns are
2884returned as shifts. This is possible because the pixels in the subimages
2885are always a power of 2 apart - 1, 2, 4 or 8 pixels - in the original
2886image. In practice you may need to directly calculate the output coordinate
2887given an input coordinate. libpng provides two further macros for this
2888purpose:
2889
2890 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(input_x, pass);
2891 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(input_y, pass);
2892
2893Finally a pair of macros are provided to tell you if a particular image
2894row or column appears in a given pass:
2895
2896 int col_in_pass = PNG_COL_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_x, pass);
2897 int row_in_pass = PNG_ROW_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_y, pass);
2898
2899Bear in mind that you will probably also need to check the width and height
2900of the pass in addition to the above to be sure the pass even exists!
2901
2902With any luck you are convinced by now that you don't want to do your own
2903interlace handling. In reality normally the only good reason for doing this
2904is if you are processing PNG files on a pixel-by-pixel basis and don't want
2905to load the whole file into memory when it is interlaced.
2906
2907libpng includes a test program, pngvalid, that illustrates reading and
2908writing of interlaced images. If you can't get interlacing to work in your
2909code and don't want to leave it to libpng (the recommended approach), see
2910how pngvalid.c does it.

2912.SS Finishing a sequential read
2913
2914After you are finished reading the image through the
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05302915low-level interface, you can finish reading the file.
2916
2917If you want to use a different crc action for handling CRC errors in
2918chunks after the image data, you can call png_set_crc_action()
2919again at this point.
2920
2921If you are interested in comments or time, which may be stored either
2922before or after the image data, you should pass the separate png_info
2923struct if you want to keep the comments from before and after the image
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002924separate.

2936
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002937If you are not interested, you should still call png_read_end()
2938but you can pass NULL, avoiding the need to create an end_info structure.
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05302939If you do this, libpng will not process any chunks after IDAT other than
2940skipping over them and perhaps (depending on whether you have called
2941png_set_crc_action) checking their CRCs while looking for the IEND chunk.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002942
2943 png_read_end(png_ptr, (png_infop)NULL);
2944
2945If you don't call png_read_end(), then your file pointer will be
2946left pointing to the first chunk after the last IDAT, which is probably
2947not what you want if you expect to read something beyond the end of
2948the PNG datastream.
2949
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08002950When you are done, you can free all memory allocated by libpng like this:

2954
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07002955or, if you didn't create an end_info structure,

3003any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
3004function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
3005and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
3006or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes
3007responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
3008png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
3009for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003010or png_calloc() to allocate it.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003011
3012If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
3013the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
3014responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
3015because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
3016
3017If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
3018separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
3019because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
3020the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
3021if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
3022application, your application must not separately free those members.
3023
3024The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04003025it frees. If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by
3026your application instead of by libpng, you can use
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003027
3028 png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);

3045.SS Reading PNG files progressively
3046
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003047The progressive reader is slightly different from the non-progressive
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003048reader. Instead of calling png_read_info(), png_read_rows(), and
3049png_read_end(), you make one call to png_process_data(), which calls
3050callbacks when it has the info, a row, or the end of the image. You
3051set up these callbacks with png_set_progressive_read_fn(). You don't
3052have to worry about the input/output functions of libpng, as you are
3053giving the library the data directly in png_process_data(). I will
3054assume that you have read the section on reading PNG files above,
3055so I will only highlight the differences (although I will show
3056all of the code).

3249.SH IV. Writing
3250
3251Much of this is very similar to reading. However, everything of
3252importance is repeated here, so you won't have to constantly look
3253back up in the reading section to understand writing.
3254
3255.SS Setup
3256
3257You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
3258so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
3259using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
3260custom writing functions. See the discussion under Customizing libpng.

3267Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.
3268As these can be both relatively large, you may not want to store these
3269on the stack, unless you have stack space to spare. Of course, you
3270will want to check if they return NULL. If you are also reading,
3271you won't want to name your read structure and your write structure
3272both "png_ptr"; you can call them anything you like, such as
3273"read_ptr" and "write_ptr". Look at pngtest.c, for example.
3274
3275 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003288 }
3289
3290If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
3291define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
3292png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_write_struct():
3293
3294 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct_2
3295 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
3296 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
3297 user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
3298
3299After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
3300error handling. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
3301longjmp() back to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call
3302setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you
3303write the file from different routines, you will need to update
3304the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
3305call a png_*() function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
3306for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp. See
3307the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
3308section below for more information on the libpng error handling.
3309
3310 if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
3311 {
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003312 png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);

3316 ...
3317 return;
3318
3319If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003320you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003321errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
3322
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003323You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
3324more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
3325return.
3326
3327Checking for invalid palette index on write was added at libpng
33281.5.10. If a pixel contains an invalid (out-of-range) index libpng issues
3329a benign error. This is enabled by default because this condition is an
3330error according to the PNG specification, Clause 11.3.2, but the error can
3331be ignored in each png_ptr with
3332
3333 png_set_check_for_invalid_index(png_ptr, 0);
3334
3335If the error is ignored, or if png_benign_error() treats it as a warning,
3336any invalid pixels are written as-is by the encoder, resulting in an
3337invalid PNG datastream as output. In this case the application is
3338responsible for ensuring that the pixel indexes are in range when it writes
3339a PLTE chunk with fewer entries than the bit depth would allow.
3340
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003341Now you need to set up the output code. The default for libpng is to
3342use the C function fwrite(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
3343valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
3344opened in binary mode. Again, if you wish to handle writing data in
3345another way, see the discussion on libpng I/O handling in the Customizing
3346Libpng section below.
3347
3348 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
3349
3350If you are embedding your PNG into a datastream such as MNG, and don't
3351want libpng to write the 8-byte signature, or if you have already
3352written the signature in your application, use
3353
3354 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, 8);
3355
3356to inform libpng that it should not write a signature.
3357
3358.SS Write callbacks
3359
3360At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
3361called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
3362a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
3363You must supply a function
3364
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003365 void write_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 row,
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003366 int pass);
3367 {
3368 /* put your code here */
3369 }
3370
3371(You can give it another name that you like instead of "write_row_callback")
3372
3373To inform libpng about your function, use
3374
3375 png_set_write_status_fn(png_ptr, write_row_callback);
3376

3378it has also been written out. The 'row' and 'pass' refer to the next row to be
3379handled. For the
3380non-interlaced case the row that was just handled is simply one less than the
3381passed in row number, and pass will always be 0. For the interlaced case the
3382same applies unless the row value is 0, in which case the row just handled was
3383the last one from one of the preceding passes. Because interlacing may skip a
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05303384pass you cannot be sure that the preceding pass is just 'pass\-1', if you really
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003385need to know what the last pass is record (row,pass) from the callback and use
3386the last recorded value each time.
3387
3388As with the user transform you can find the output row using the
3389PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW macro.

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003391You now have the option of modifying how the compression library will
3392run. The following functions are mainly for testing, but may be useful
3393in some cases, like if you need to write PNG files extremely fast and
3394are willing to give up some compression, or if you want to get the
3395maximum possible compression at the expense of slower writing. If you
3396have no special needs in this area, let the library do what it wants by
3397not calling this function at all, as it has been tuned to deliver a good
3398speed/compression ratio. The second parameter to png_set_filter() is
3399the filter method, for which the only valid values are 0 (as of the
3400July 1999 PNG specification, version 1.2) or 64 (if you are writing
3401a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG datastream). The third
3402parameter is a flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04003403for each scanline. See the PNG specification for details on the specific
3404filter types.

3421compression, it should start out with all of the filters (to ensure that
3422the previous row of pixels will be stored in case it's needed later),
3423and then add and remove them after the start of compression.

3428The png_set_compression_*() functions interface to the zlib compression
3429library, and should mostly be ignored unless you really know what you are

3431which changes how much time zlib spends on trying to compress the image

3460
3461You now need to fill in the png_info structure with all the data you
3462wish to write before the actual image. Note that the only thing you
3463are allowed to write after the image is the text chunks and the time
3464chunk (as of PNG Specification 1.2, anyway). See png_write_end() and
3465the latest PNG specification for more information on that. If you
3466wish to write them before the image, fill them in now, and flag that
3467data as being valid. If you want to wait until after the data, don't
3468fill them until png_write_end(). For all the fields in png_info and
3469their data types, see png.h. For explanations of what the fields
3470contain, see the PNG specification.

3754
3755The "location" member is set automatically according to
3756what part of the output file has already been written.
3757You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
3758as demonstrated in pngtest.c. Within each of the "locations",
3759the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
3760structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
3761the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
3762png_set_unknown_chunks).
3763
3764A quick word about text and num_text. text is an array of png_text
3765structures. num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
3766Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
3767and a compression type.
3768
3769The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
3770types of the image data. Currently, the only valid number is zero.
3771However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
3772images, which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
3773text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
3774Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
3775specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
3776any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
3777
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003778Until text gets around a few hundred bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003779After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
3780is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
3781so that it isn't written out again at the end (in case you are calling
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003782png_write_end() with the same struct).

3808
3809The keyword-text pairs work like this. Keywords should be short
3810simple descriptions of what the comment is about. Some typical
3811keywords are found in the PNG specification, as is some recommendations
3812on keywords. You can repeat keywords in a file. You can even write
3813some text before the image and some after. For example, you may want
3814to put a description of the image before the image, but leave the
3815disclaimer until after, so viewers working over modem connections
3816don't have to wait for the disclaimer to go over the modem before
3817they start seeing the image. Finally, keywords should be full
3818words, not abbreviations. Keywords and text are in the ISO 8859-1
3819(Latin-1) character set (a superset of regular ASCII) and can not
3820contain NUL characters, and should not contain control or other
3821unprintable characters. To make the comments widely readable, stick
3822with basic ASCII, and avoid machine specific character set extensions
3823like the IBM-PC character set. The keyword must be present, but
3824you can leave off the text string on non-compressed pairs.
3825Compressed pairs must have a text string, as only the text string
3826is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
3827
3828PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two
3829conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
3830time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The
3831time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of
3832these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
3833you should provide the time in universal time (GMT) if possible
3834instead of your local time. Note that the year number is the full
3835year (e.g. 1998, rather than 98 - PNG is year 2000 compliant!), and
3836that months start with 1.
3837
3838If you want to store the time of the original image creation, you should
3839use a plain tEXt chunk with the "Creation Time" keyword. This is
3840necessary because the "creation time" of a PNG image is somewhat vague,
3841depending on whether you mean the PNG file, the time the image was
3842created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
3843scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate
3844machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
3845tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
3846although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the
3847"Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
3848by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05003849png_convert_to_rfc1123_buffer(buffer, png_timep) is provided to
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003850convert from PNG time to an RFC 1123 format string. The caller must provide
3851a writeable buffer of at least 29 bytes.

3853.SS Writing unknown chunks
3854
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07003855You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up private chunks
3856for writing. You give it a chunk name, location, raw data, and a size. You
3857also must use png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() to ensure that libpng will
3858handle them. That's all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the
3859next following png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end
3860function, depending upon the specified location. Any chunks previously
3861read into the info structure's unknown-chunk list will also be written out
3862in a sequence that satisfies the PNG specification's ordering rules.
3863
3864Here is an example of writing two private chunks, prVt and miNE:
3865
3866 #ifdef PNG_WRITE_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED
3867 /* Set unknown chunk data */
3868 png_unknown_chunk unk_chunk[2];
3869 strcpy((char *) unk_chunk[0].name, "prVt";
3870 unk_chunk[0].data = (unsigned char *) "PRIVATE DATA";
3871 unk_chunk[0].size = strlen(unk_chunk[0].data)+1;
3872 unk_chunk[0].location = PNG_HAVE_IHDR;
3873 strcpy((char *) unk_chunk[1].name, "miNE";
3874 unk_chunk[1].data = (unsigned char *) "MY CHUNK DATA";
3875 unk_chunk[1].size = strlen(unk_chunk[0].data)+1;
3876 unk_chunk[1].location = PNG_AFTER_IDAT;
3877 png_set_unknown_chunks(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
3878 unk_chunk, 2);
3879 /* Needed because miNE is not safe-to-copy */
3880 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png, PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS,
3881 (png_bytep) "miNE", 1);
3882 # if PNG_LIBPNG_VER < 10600
3883 /* Deal with unknown chunk location bug in 1.5.x and earlier */
3884 png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 0, PNG_HAVE_IHDR);
3885 png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 1, PNG_AFTER_IDAT);
3886 # endif
3887 # if PNG_LIBPNG_VER < 10500
3888 /* PNG_AFTER_IDAT writes two copies of the chunk prior to libpng-1.5.0,
3889 * one before IDAT and another after IDAT, so don't use it; only use
3890 * PNG_HAVE_IHDR location. This call resets the location previously
3891 * set by assignment and png_set_unknown_chunk_location() for chunk 1.
3892 */
3893 png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 1, PNG_HAVE_IHDR);
3894 # endif
3895 #endif

3897.SS The high-level write interface
3898
3899At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
3900write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
3901You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
3902in the info structure. All defined output
3903transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
3904
3905 PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
3906 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Pack 1, 2 and 4-bit samples
3907 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
3908 pixels to LSB first
3909 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
3910 PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the
3911 sBIT depth
3912 PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
3913 to BGRA
3914 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
3915 to AG
3916 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity
3917 to transparency
3918 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04003919 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER Strip out filler
3920 bytes (deprecated).
3921 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_BEFORE Strip out leading
3922 filler bytes
3923 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_AFTER Strip out trailing
3924 filler bytes
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003925
3926If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
3927png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
3928
3929 png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
3930
3931where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
3932transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
3933followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
3934then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
3935
3936(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
3937to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
3938
3939You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
3940when you use png_write_png().
3941
3942.SS The low-level write interface
3943
3944If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
3945write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do
3946this with a call to png_write_info().
3947
3948 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3949
3950Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
3951png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04003952level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency,
3953you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is
3954fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535
3955(in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08003956
3957 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
3958
3959This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
3960other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
3961chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If
3962your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
3963represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
3964be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
3965png_write_info() call.
3966
3967If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
3968the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
3969two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
3970
3971 png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3972 png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
3973 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3974
3975After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
3976to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
3977ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
3978should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
3979type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
3980certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
3981checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
3982make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
3983data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
3984
3985PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells
3986the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down
3987to 3 or 6 bytes (or strip 2 or 4-byte grayscale+filler data to 1 or 2
3988bytes per pixel).
3989
3990 png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
3991
3992where the 0 is unused, and the location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or
3993PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether the filler byte in the pixel
3994is stored XRGB or RGBX.
3995
3996PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
3997they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.
3998If the data is supplied at 1 pixel per byte, use this code, which will
3999correctly pack the pixels into a single byte:
4000
4001 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
4002
4003PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. If your
4004data is of another bit depth, you can write an sBIT chunk into the
4005file so that decoders can recover the original data if desired.
4006

4008 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR)

4027If the data is stored in the row buffer in a bit depth other than
4028one supported by PNG (e.g. 3 bit data in the range 0-7 for a 4-bit PNG),
4029this will scale the values to appear to be the correct bit depth as
4030is required by PNG.

4033
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004034PNG files store 16-bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004035ie. most significant bits first). This code would be used if they are
4036supplied the other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits
4037first, the way PCs store them):
4038
4039 if (bit_depth > 8)

4041
4042If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you

4044
4045 if (bit_depth < 8)
4046 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);

4051 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
4052
4053PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being
4054one. This code would be used if the pixels are supplied with this reversed
4055(black being one and white being zero):
4056
4057 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
4058
4059Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
4060the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
4061with
4062
4063 png_set_write_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
4064 write_transform_fn);
4065
4066You must supply the function
4067
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004068 void write_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004069 row_info, png_bytep data)
4070
4071See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004072before any of the other transformations are processed. If supported
4073libpng also supplies an information routine that may be called from
4074your callback:
4075
4076 png_get_current_row_number(png_ptr);
4077 png_get_current_pass_number(png_ptr);
4078
4079This returns the current row passed to the transform. With interlaced
4080images the value returned is the row in the input sub-image image. Use
4081PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(row, pass) and PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(col, pass) to
4082find the output pixel (x,y) given an interlaced sub-image pixel (row,col,pass).
4083
4084The discussion of interlace handling above contains more information on how to
4085use these values.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004086
4087You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
4088callback function.
4089
4090 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
4091
4092The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
4093when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
4094
4095You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
4096For example:
4097
4098 voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
4099 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
4100
4101It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
4102or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To
4103flush the output stream a single time call:
4104
4105 png_write_flush(png_ptr);
4106
4107and to have libpng flush the output stream periodically after a certain
4108number of scanlines have been written, call:
4109
4110 png_set_flush(png_ptr, nrows);
4111
4112Note that the distance between rows is from the last time png_write_flush()
4113was called, or the first row of the image if it has never been called.
4114So if you write 50 lines, and then png_set_flush 25, it will flush the
4115output on the next scanline, and every 25 lines thereafter, unless
4116png_write_flush() is called before 25 more lines have been written.
4117If nrows is too small (less than about 10 lines for a 640 pixel wide
4118RGB image) the image compression may decrease noticeably (although this
4119may be acceptable for real-time applications). Infrequent flushing will
4120only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
4121that do not use flushing.
4122
4123.SS Writing the image data
4124
4125That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data.
4126The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the
4127whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
4128will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
4129each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
4130need to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
4131times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_write_rows().
4132
4133 png_write_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
4134
4135where row_pointers is:
4136
4137 png_byte *row_pointers[height];
4138
4139You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
4140
4141If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can
4142use png_write_rows() instead. If the file is not interlaced,
4143this is simple:
4144
4145 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,
4146 number_of_rows);
4147
4148row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
4149
4150If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
4151a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
4152
4153 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
4154
4155 png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
4156
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004157When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more complicated.
4158The only currently (as of the PNG Specification version 1.2, dated July
41591999) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files is the "Adam7" interlace
4160scheme, that breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying
4161size. libpng will build these images for you, or you can do them
4162yourself. If you want to build them yourself, see the PNG specification
4163for details of which pixels to write when.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004164
4165If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just
4166use png_set_interlace_handling() and call png_write_rows() the
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004167correct number of times to write all the sub-images
4168(png_set_interlace_handling() returns the number of sub-images.)
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004169
4170If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start
4171writing any rows:
4172
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004173 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004174
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004175This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
4176but may change if another interlace type is added.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004177
4178Then write the complete image number_of_passes times.
4179
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004180 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, number_of_rows);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004181
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004182Think carefully before you write an interlaced image. Typically code that
4183reads such images reads all the image data into memory, uncompressed, before
4184doing any processing. Only code that can display an image on the fly can
4185take advantage of the interlacing and even then the image has to be exactly
4186the correct size for the output device, because scaling an image requires
4187adjacent pixels and these are not available until all the passes have been
4188read.
4189
4190If you do write an interlaced image you will hardly ever need to handle
4191the interlacing yourself. Call png_set_interlace_handling() and use the
4192approach described above.
4193
4194The only time it is conceivable that you will really need to write an
4195interlaced image pass-by-pass is when you have read one pass by pass and
4196made some pixel-by-pixel transformation to it, as described in the read
4197code above. In this case use the PNG_PASS_ROWS and PNG_PASS_COLS macros
4198to determine the size of each sub-image in turn and simply write the rows
4199you obtained from the read code.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004200
4201.SS Finishing a sequential write
4202
4203After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
4204the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
4205pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer. If you are not interested,
4206you can pass NULL.
4207
4208 png_write_end(png_ptr, info_ptr);
4209
4210When you are done, you can free all memory used by libpng like this:
4211
4212 png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
4213
4214It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
4215point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
4216
4217 png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004218
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004219 mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
4220 containing the bitwise OR of one or
4221 more of
4222 PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
4223 PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
4224 PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
4225 PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
4226 PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
4227 or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004228
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004229 seq - sequence number of item to be freed
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05304230 (\-1 for all items)
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004231
4232This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
4233already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004234by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
4235The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05304236type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not \-1, and multiple items
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004237are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
4238sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004239
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004240If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng
4241with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004242png_destroy_write_struct().
4243
4244The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
4245by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
4246or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004247or png_calloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004248
4249 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)

4258
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004259For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
4260to a write structure, you could use
4261
4262 png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
4263 PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
4264 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004265
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004266 png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
4267 PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
4268 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
4269
4270thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
4271immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
4272function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
4273structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
4274structure.
4275
4276This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
4277You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
4278to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
4279When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
4280application must use
4281png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
4282for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004283or png_calloc() to allocate it.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004284
4285If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
4286separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
4287because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
4288the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
4289if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
4290application, your application must not separately free those members.
4291For a more compact example of writing a PNG image, see the file example.c.

Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004293.SH V. Simplified API
4294
4295The simplified API, which became available in libpng-1.6.0, hides the details
4296of both libpng and the PNG file format itself.
4297It allows PNG files to be read into a very limited number of
4298in-memory bitmap formats or to be written from the same formats. If these
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05304299formats do not accommodate your needs then you can, and should, use the more
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004300sophisticated APIs above - these support a wide variety of in-memory formats
4301and a wide variety of sophisticated transformations to those formats as well
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01004302as a wide variety of APIs to manipulate ancillary information.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004303
4304To read a PNG file using the simplified API:
4305
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004306 1) Declare a 'png_image' structure (see below) on the stack, set the
4307 version field to PNG_IMAGE_VERSION and the 'opaque' pointer to NULL
4308 (this is REQUIRED, your program may crash if you don't do it.)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004309
4310 2) Call the appropriate png_image_begin_read... function.
4311
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004312 3) Set the png_image 'format' member to the required sample format.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004313
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004314 4) Allocate a buffer for the image and, if required, the color-map.
4315
4316 5) Call png_image_finish_read to read the image and, if required, the
4317 color-map into your buffers.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004318
4319There are no restrictions on the format of the PNG input itself; all valid
4320color types, bit depths, and interlace methods are acceptable, and the
4321input image is transformed as necessary to the requested in-memory format
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004322during the png_image_finish_read() step. The only caveat is that if you
4323request a color-mapped image from a PNG that is full-color or makes
4324complex use of an alpha channel the transformation is extremely lossy and the
4325result may look terrible.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004326
4327To write a PNG file using the simplified API:
4328
4329 1) Declare a 'png_image' structure on the stack and memset()
4330 it to all zero.
4331
4332 2) Initialize the members of the structure that describe the
4333 image, setting the 'format' member to the format of the
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004334 image samples.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004335
4336 3) Call the appropriate png_image_write... function with a
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004337 pointer to the image and, if necessary, the color-map to write
4338 the PNG data.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004339
4340png_image is a structure that describes the in-memory format of an image
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004341when it is being read or defines the in-memory format of an image that you
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004342need to write. The "png_image" structure contains the following members:
4343
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004344 png_controlp opaque Initialize to NULL, free with png_image_free
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004345 png_uint_32 version Set to PNG_IMAGE_VERSION
4346 png_uint_32 width Image width in pixels (columns)
4347 png_uint_32 height Image height in pixels (rows)
4348 png_uint_32 format Image format as defined below
4349 png_uint_32 flags A bit mask containing informational flags
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004350 png_uint_32 colormap_entries; Number of entries in the color-map
4351 png_uint_32 warning_or_error;
4352 char message[64];
4353
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004354In the event of an error or warning the "warning_or_error"
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004355field will be set to a non-zero value and the 'message' field will contain
4356a '\0' terminated string with the libpng error or warning message. If both
4357warnings and an error were encountered, only the error is recorded. If there
4358are multiple warnings, only the first one is recorded.
4359
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004360The upper 30 bits of the "warning_or_error" value are reserved; the low two
4361bits contain a two bit code such that a value more than 1 indicates a failure
4362in the API just called:
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004363
4364 0 - no warning or error
4365 1 - warning
4366 2 - error
4367 3 - error preceded by warning
4368
4369The pixels (samples) of the image have one to four channels whose components
4370have original values in the range 0 to 1.0:
4371
4372 1: A single gray or luminance channel (G).
4373 2: A gray/luminance channel and an alpha channel (GA).
4374 3: Three red, green, blue color channels (RGB).
4375 4: Three color channels and an alpha channel (RGBA).
4376
4377The channels are encoded in one of two ways:
4378
4379 a) As a small integer, value 0..255, contained in a single byte. For the
4380alpha channel the original value is simply value/255. For the color or
4381luminance channels the value is encoded according to the sRGB specification
4382and matches the 8-bit format expected by typical display devices.
4383
4384The color/gray channels are not scaled (pre-multiplied) by the alpha
4385channel and are suitable for passing to color management software.
4386
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004387 b) As a value in the range 0..65535, contained in a 2-byte integer, in
4388the native byte order of the platform on which the application is running.
4389All channels can be converted to the original value by dividing by 65535; all
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004390channels are linear. Color channels use the RGB encoding (RGB end-points) of
4391the sRGB specification. This encoding is identified by the
4392PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_LINEAR flag below.
4393
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004394When the simplified API needs to convert between sRGB and linear colorspaces,
4395the actual sRGB transfer curve defined in the sRGB specification (see the
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04004396article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB) is used, not the gamma=1/2.2
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004397approximation used elsewhere in libpng.
4398
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004399When an alpha channel is present it is expected to denote pixel coverage
4400of the color or luminance channels and is returned as an associated alpha
4401channel: the color/gray channels are scaled (pre-multiplied) by the alpha
4402value.
4403
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004404The samples are either contained directly in the image data, between 1 and 8
4405bytes per pixel according to the encoding, or are held in a color-map indexed
4406by bytes in the image data. In the case of a color-map the color-map entries
4407are individual samples, encoded as above, and the image data has one byte per
4408pixel to select the relevant sample from the color-map.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004409
4410PNG_FORMAT_*
4411
4412The #defines to be used in png_image::format. Each #define identifies a
4413particular layout of channel data and, if present, alpha values. There are
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004414separate defines for each of the two component encodings.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004415
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004416A format is built up using single bit flag values. All combinations are
4417valid. Formats can be built up from the flag values or you can use one of
4418the predefined values below. When testing formats always use the FORMAT_FLAG
4419macros to test for individual features - future versions of the library may
4420add new flags.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004421
4422When reading or writing color-mapped images the format should be set to the
4423format of the entries in the color-map then png_image_{read,write}_colormap
4424called to read or write the color-map and set the format correctly for the
4425image data. Do not set the PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP bit directly!
4426
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004427NOTE: libpng can be built with particular features disabled. If you see
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004428compiler errors because the definition of one of the following flags has been
4429compiled out it is because libpng does not have the required support. It is
4430possible, however, for the libpng configuration to enable the format on just
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004431read or just write; in that case you may see an error at run time.
4432You can guard against this by checking for the definition of the
4433appropriate "_SUPPORTED" macro, one of:
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004434
4435 PNG_SIMPLIFIED_{READ,WRITE}_{BGR,AFIRST}_SUPPORTED
4436
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004437 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_ALPHA format with an alpha channel
4438 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLOR color format: otherwise grayscale
4439 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_LINEAR 2-byte channels else 1-byte
4440 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP image data is color-mapped
4441 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_BGR BGR colors, else order is RGB
4442 PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_AFIRST alpha channel comes first
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004443
4444Supported formats are as follows. Future versions of libpng may support more
4445formats; for compatibility with older versions simply check if the format
4446macro is defined using #ifdef. These defines describe the in-memory layout
4447of the components of the pixels of the image.
4448
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004449First the single byte (sRGB) formats:
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004450
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004451 PNG_FORMAT_GRAY
4452 PNG_FORMAT_GA
4453 PNG_FORMAT_AG
4454 PNG_FORMAT_RGB
4455 PNG_FORMAT_BGR
4456 PNG_FORMAT_RGBA
4457 PNG_FORMAT_ARGB
4458 PNG_FORMAT_BGRA
4459 PNG_FORMAT_ABGR
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004460
4461Then the linear 2-byte formats. When naming these "Y" is used to
4462indicate a luminance (gray) channel. The component order within the pixel
4463is always the same - there is no provision for swapping the order of the
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004464components in the linear format. The components are 16-bit integers in
4465the native byte order for your platform, and there is no provision for
4466swapping the bytes to a different endian condition.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004467
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004468 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_Y
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004469 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_Y_ALPHA
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004470 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_RGB
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004471 PNG_FORMAT_LINEAR_RGB_ALPHA
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004472
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004473With color-mapped formats the image data is one byte for each pixel. The byte
4474is an index into the color-map which is formatted as above. To obtain a
4475color-mapped format it is sufficient just to add the PNG_FOMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP
4476to one of the above definitions, or you can use one of the definitions below.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004477
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004478 PNG_FORMAT_RGB_COLORMAP
4479 PNG_FORMAT_BGR_COLORMAP
4480 PNG_FORMAT_RGBA_COLORMAP
4481 PNG_FORMAT_ARGB_COLORMAP
4482 PNG_FORMAT_BGRA_COLORMAP
4483 PNG_FORMAT_ABGR_COLORMAP
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004484
4485PNG_IMAGE macros
4486
4487These are convenience macros to derive information from a png_image
4488structure. The PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_ macros return values appropriate to the
4489actual image sample values - either the entries in the color-map or the
4490pixels in the image. The PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_ macros return corresponding values
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004491for the pixels and will always return 1 for color-mapped formats. The
4492remaining macros return information about the rows in the image and the
4493complete image.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004494
4495NOTE: All the macros that take a png_image::format parameter are compile time
4496constants if the format parameter is, itself, a constant. Therefore these
4497macros can be used in array declarations and case labels where required.
4498Similarly the macros are also pre-processor constants (sizeof is not used) so
4499they can be used in #if tests.
4500
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004501 PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_CHANNELS(fmt)
4502 Returns the total number of channels in a given format: 1..4
4503
4504 PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_COMPONENT_SIZE(fmt)
4505 Returns the size in bytes of a single component of a pixel or color-map
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004506 entry (as appropriate) in the image: 1 or 2.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004507
4508 PNG_IMAGE_SAMPLE_SIZE(fmt)
4509 This is the size of the sample data for one sample. If the image is
4510 color-mapped it is the size of one color-map entry (and image pixels are
4511 one byte in size), otherwise it is the size of one image pixel.
4512
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004513 PNG_IMAGE_MAXIMUM_COLORMAP_COMPONENTS(fmt)
4514 The maximum size of the color-map required by the format expressed in a
4515 count of components. This can be used to compile-time allocate a
4516 color-map:
4517
4518 png_uint_16 colormap[PNG_IMAGE_MAXIMUM_COLORMAP_COMPONENTS(linear_fmt)];
4519
4520 png_byte colormap[PNG_IMAGE_MAXIMUM_COLORMAP_COMPONENTS(sRGB_fmt)];
4521
4522 Alternatively use the PNG_IMAGE_COLORMAP_SIZE macro below to use the
4523 information from one of the png_image_begin_read_ APIs and dynamically
4524 allocate the required memory.
4525
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004526 PNG_IMAGE_COLORMAP_SIZE(fmt)
4527 The size of the color-map required by the format; this is the size of the
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004528 color-map buffer passed to the png_image_{read,write}_colormap APIs. It is
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004529 a fixed number determined by the format so can easily be allocated on the
4530 stack if necessary.
4531
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004532Corresponding information about the pixels
4533
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004534 PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_CHANNELS(fmt)
4535 The number of separate channels (components) in a pixel; 1 for a
4536 color-mapped image.
4537
4538 PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_COMPONENT_SIZE(fmt)\
4539 The size, in bytes, of each component in a pixel; 1 for a color-mapped
4540 image.
4541
4542 PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_SIZE(fmt)
4543 The size, in bytes, of a complete pixel; 1 for a color-mapped image.
4544
4545Information about the whole row, or whole image
4546
4547 PNG_IMAGE_ROW_STRIDE(image)
4548 Returns the total number of components in a single row of the image; this
4549 is the minimum 'row stride', the minimum count of components between each
4550 row. For a color-mapped image this is the minimum number of bytes in a
4551 row.
4552
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004553 If you need the stride measured in bytes, row_stride_bytes is
4554 PNG_IMAGE_ROW_STRIDE(image) * PNG_IMAGE_PIXEL_COMPONENT_SIZE(fmt)
4555 plus any padding bytes that your application might need, for example
4556 to start the next row on a 4-byte boundary.
4557
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004558 PNG_IMAGE_BUFFER_SIZE(image, row_stride)
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004559 Return the size, in bytes, of an image buffer given a png_image and a row
4560 stride - the number of components to leave space for in each row.
4561
4562 PNG_IMAGE_SIZE(image)
4563 Return the size, in bytes, of the image in memory given just a png_image;
4564 the row stride is the minimum stride required for the image.
4565
4566 PNG_IMAGE_COLORMAP_SIZE(image)
4567 Return the size, in bytes, of the color-map of this image. If the image
4568 format is not a color-map format this will return a size sufficient for
4569 256 entries in the given format; check PNG_FORMAT_FLAG_COLORMAP if
4570 you don't want to allocate a color-map in this case.
4571
4572PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_*
4573
4574Flags containing additional information about the image are held in
4575the 'flags' field of png_image.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004576
4577 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_COLORSPACE_NOT_sRGB == 0x01
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01004578 This indicates that the RGB values of the in-memory bitmap do not
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004579 correspond to the red, green and blue end-points defined by sRGB.
4580
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004581 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_FAST == 0x02
4582 On write emphasise speed over compression; the resultant PNG file will be
4583 larger but will be produced significantly faster, particular for large
4584 images. Do not use this option for images which will be distributed, only
4585 used it when producing intermediate files that will be read back in
4586 repeatedly. For a typical 24-bit image the option will double the read
4587 speed at the cost of increasing the image size by 25%, however for many
4588 more compressible images the PNG file can be 10 times larger with only a
4589 slight speed gain.
4590
4591 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_16BIT_sRGB == 0x04
4592 On read if the image is a 16-bit per component image and there is no gAMA
4593 or sRGB chunk assume that the components are sRGB encoded. Notice that
4594 images output by the simplified API always have gamma information; setting
4595 this flag only affects the interpretation of 16-bit images from an
4596 external source. It is recommended that the application expose this flag
4597 to the user; the user can normally easily recognize the difference between
4598 linear and sRGB encoding. This flag has no effect on write - the data
4599 passed to the write APIs must have the correct encoding (as defined
4600 above.)
4601
4602 If the flag is not set (the default) input 16-bit per component data is
4603 assumed to be linear.
4604
4605 NOTE: the flag can only be set after the png_image_begin_read_ call,
4606 because that call initializes the 'flags' field.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004607
4608READ APIs
4609
4610 The png_image passed to the read APIs must have been initialized by setting
4611 the png_controlp field 'opaque' to NULL (or, better, memset the whole thing.)
4612
4613 int png_image_begin_read_from_file( png_imagep image,
4614 const char *file_name)
4615
4616 The named file is opened for read and the image header
4617 is filled in from the PNG header in the file.
4618
4619 int png_image_begin_read_from_stdio (png_imagep image,
4620 FILE* file)
4621
4622 The PNG header is read from the stdio FILE object.
4623
4624 int png_image_begin_read_from_memory(png_imagep image,
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01004625 png_const_voidp memory, size_t size)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004626
4627 The PNG header is read from the given memory buffer.
4628
4629 int png_image_finish_read(png_imagep image,
4630 png_colorp background, void *buffer,
4631 png_int_32 row_stride, void *colormap));
4632
4633 Finish reading the image into the supplied buffer and
4634 clean up the png_image structure.
4635
4636 row_stride is the step, in png_byte or png_uint_16 units
4637 as appropriate, between adjacent rows. A positive stride
4638 indicates that the top-most row is first in the buffer -
4639 the normal top-down arrangement. A negative stride
4640 indicates that the bottom-most row is first in the buffer.
4641
4642 background need only be supplied if an alpha channel must
4643 be removed from a png_byte format and the removal is to be
4644 done by compositing on a solid color; otherwise it may be
4645 NULL and any composition will be done directly onto the
4646 buffer. The value is an sRGB color to use for the
4647 background, for grayscale output the green channel is used.
4648
4649 For linear output removing the alpha channel is always done
4650 by compositing on black.
4651
4652 void png_image_free(png_imagep image)
4653
4654 Free any data allocated by libpng in image->opaque,
4655 setting the pointer to NULL. May be called at any time
4656 after the structure is initialized.
4657
4658When the simplified API needs to convert between sRGB and linear colorspaces,
4659the actual sRGB transfer curve defined in the sRGB specification (see the
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04004660article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB) is used, not the gamma=1/2.2
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004661approximation used elsewhere in libpng.
4662
4663WRITE APIS
4664
4665For write you must initialize a png_image structure to describe the image to
4666be written:
4667
4668 version: must be set to PNG_IMAGE_VERSION
4669 opaque: must be initialized to NULL
4670 width: image width in pixels
4671 height: image height in rows
4672 format: the format of the data you wish to write
4673 flags: set to 0 unless one of the defined flags applies; set
4674 PNG_IMAGE_FLAG_COLORSPACE_NOT_sRGB for color format images
4675 where the RGB values do not correspond to the colors in sRGB.
4676 colormap_entries: set to the number of entries in the color-map (0 to 256)
4677
4678 int png_image_write_to_file, (png_imagep image,
4679 const char *file, int convert_to_8bit, const void *buffer,
4680 png_int_32 row_stride, const void *colormap));
4681
4682 Write the image to the named file.
4683
Matt Sarett11466862016-02-19 13:41:30 -05004684 int png_image_write_to_memory (png_imagep image, void *memory,
4685 png_alloc_size_t * PNG_RESTRICT memory_bytes,
4686 int convert_to_8_bit, const void *buffer, ptrdiff_t row_stride,
4687 const void *colormap));
4688
4689 Write the image to memory.
4690
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004691 int png_image_write_to_stdio(png_imagep image, FILE *file,
4692 int convert_to_8_bit, const void *buffer,
4693 png_int_32 row_stride, const void *colormap)
4694
4695 Write the image to the given (FILE*).
4696
4697With all write APIs if image is in one of the linear formats with
4698(png_uint_16) data then setting convert_to_8_bit will cause the output to be
4699a (png_byte) PNG gamma encoded according to the sRGB specification, otherwise
4700a 16-bit linear encoded PNG file is written.
4701
4702With all APIs row_stride is handled as in the read APIs - it is the spacing
4703from one row to the next in component sized units (float) and if negative
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004704indicates a bottom-up row layout in the buffer. If you pass zero, libpng will
4705calculate the row_stride for you from the width and number of channels.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004706
4707Note that the write API does not support interlacing, sub-8-bit pixels,
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004708indexed (paletted) images, or most ancillary chunks.

4710.SH VI. Modifying/Customizing libpng
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004711
4712There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does
4713standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
4714The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
4715adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
4716Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
4717determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
4718to provide the user with a means of changing them.
4719
4720Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
4721
4722All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
4723goes through callbacks that are user-settable. The default routines are
4724in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively. To change
4725these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
4726
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004727Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(),
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004728and png_free(). The png_malloc() and png_free() functions currently just
4729call the standard C functions and png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then
4730clears the newly allocated memory to zero; note that png_calloc(png_ptr, size)
4731is not the same as the calloc(number, size) function provided by stdlib.h.
4732There is limited support for certain systems with segmented memory
4733architectures and the types of pointers declared by png.h match this; you
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05004734will have to use appropriate pointers in your application. If you prefer
4735to use a different method of allocating and freeing data, you can use
4736png_create_read_struct_2() or png_create_write_struct_2() to register your
4737own functions as described above. These functions also provide a void
4738pointer that can be retrieved via
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004739
4740 mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
4741
4742Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004747 void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
4748
4749Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc()
4750function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
4751system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
4752
4753Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
4754png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
4755
4756Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
4757which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
4758png_struct and is initialized via png_init_io(). If you wish to change
4759the method of I/O, the library supplies callbacks that you can set
4760through the function png_set_read_fn() and png_set_write_fn() at run
4761time, instead of calling the png_init_io() function. These functions
4762also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
4763png_get_io_ptr(). For example:
4764
4765 png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
4766 voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
4767
4768 png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
4769 voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
4770 png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
4771
4772 voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
4773 voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
4774
4775The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:
4776
4777 void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr,
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01004778 png_bytep data, size_t length);

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004780 void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr,
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01004781 png_bytep data, size_t length);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004782
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004783 void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr);
4784
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04004785The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and
4786handling end-of-data errors.
4787
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004788Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04004789to using the default C stream functions, which expect the io_ptr to
4790point to a standard *FILE structure. It is probably a mistake
4791to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both
4792of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined.
4793It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004794
4795Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
4796Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
4797should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via
4798setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004799PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
4800but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish,
4801as long as your function does not return.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004802
4803On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
4804to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
4805By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
4806fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined
4807(because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because
4808fprintf() isn't available). If you wish to change the behavior of the error
4809functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks. These
4810functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created.
4811It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement
4812functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling:
4813
4814 png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4815 png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn,
4816 png_error_ptr warning_fn);
4817
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004818If NULL is supplied for either error_fn or warning_fn, then the libpng
4819default function will be used, calling fprintf() and/or longjmp() if a
4820problem is encountered. The replacement error functions should have
4821parameters as follows:
4822
4823 void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4824 png_const_charp error_msg);
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004825
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004826 void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4827 png_const_charp warning_msg);
4828
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04004829Then, within your user_error_fn or user_warning_fn, you can retrieve
4830the error_ptr if you need it, by calling
4831
4832 png_voidp error_ptr = png_get_error_ptr(png_ptr);
4833
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004834The motivation behind using setjmp() and longjmp() is the C++ throw and
4835catch exception handling methods. This makes the code much easier to write,
4836as there is no need to check every return code of every function call.
4837However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004838after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything
4839after setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself. Consult your
4840compiler documentation for more details. For an alternative approach, you
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04004841may wish to use the "cexcept" facility (see https://cexcept.sourceforge.io/),
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004842which is illustrated in pngvalid.c and in contrib/visupng.
4843
4844Beginning in libpng-1.4.0, the png_set_benign_errors() API became available.
4845You can use this to handle certain errors (normally handled as errors)
4846as warnings.
4847
4848 png_set_benign_errors (png_ptr, int allowed);
4849
4850 allowed: 0: treat png_benign_error() as an error.
4851 1: treat png_benign_error() as a warning.
4852
4853As of libpng-1.6.0, the default condition is to treat benign errors as
4854warnings while reading and as errors while writing.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004855
4856.SS Custom chunks
4857
4858If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper
4859into the libpng code. The library now has mechanisms for storing
4860and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks
4861for custom chunks. However, this may not be good enough if the
4862library code itself needs to know about interactions between your
4863chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks.
4864
4865If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04004866specification. Acquire a first level of understanding of how it works.
4867Pay particular attention to the sections that describe chunk names,
4868and look at how other chunks were designed, so you can do things
4869similarly. Second, check out the sections of libpng that read and
4870write chunks. Try to find a chunk that is similar to yours and use
4871it as a template. More details can be found in the comments inside
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004872the code. It is best to handle private or unknown chunks in a generic method,
4873via callback functions, instead of by modifying libpng functions. This
4874is illustrated in pngtest.c, which uses a callback function to handle a
4875private "vpAg" chunk and the new "sTER" chunk, which are both unknown to
4876libpng.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004877
4878If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through
4879the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of
4880the simpler ones to get an idea of how they work. Try to find a similar
4881transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it. More details
4882can be found in the comments inside the code itself.

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004884.SS Configuring for gui/windowing platforms:
4885
4886You will need to write new error and warning functions that use the GUI
4887interface, as described previously, and set them to be the error and
4888warning functions at the time that png_create_*_struct() is called,
4889in order to have them available during the structure initialization.
4890They can be changed later via png_set_error_fn(). On some compilers,
4891you may also have to change the memory allocators (png_malloc, etc.).
4892
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004893.SS Configuring zlib:
4894
4895There are special functions to configure the compression. Perhaps the
4896most useful one changes the compression level, which currently uses
4897input compression values in the range 0 - 9. The library normally
4898uses the default compression level (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = 6). Tests
4899have shown that for a large majority of images, compression values in
4900the range 3-6 compress nearly as well as higher levels, and do so much
4901faster. For online applications it may be desirable to have maximum speed
4902(Z_BEST_SPEED = 1). With versions of zlib after v0.99, you can also
4903specify no compression (Z_NO_COMPRESSION = 0), but this would create
4904files larger than just storing the raw bitmap. You can specify the
4905compression level by calling:
4906
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004907 #include zlib.h
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004908 png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
4909
4910Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library.
4911The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are
4912short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K).
4913Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among
4914other things, lower levels will result in sections of incompressible
4915data being emitted in smaller stored blocks, with a correspondingly
4916larger relative overhead of up to 15% in the worst case.
4917
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004918 #include zlib.h
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004919 png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level);
4920
4921The other functions are for configuring zlib. They are not recommended
4922for normal use and may result in writing an invalid PNG file. See
4923zlib.h for more information on what these mean.
4924

Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07004938As of libpng version 1.5.4, additional APIs became
4939available to set these separately for non-IDAT
4940compressed chunks such as zTXt, iTXt, and iCCP:

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004957.SS Controlling row filtering
4958
4959If you want to control whether libpng uses filtering or not, which
4960filters are used, and how it goes about picking row filters, you
4961can call one of these functions. The selection and configuration
4962of row filters can have a significant impact on the size and
4963encoding speed and a somewhat lesser impact on the decoding speed
4964of an image. Filtering is enabled by default for RGB and grayscale
4965images (with and without alpha), but not for paletted images nor
4966for any images with bit depths less than 8 bits/pixel.
4967
4968The 'method' parameter sets the main filtering method, which is
4969currently only '0' in the PNG 1.2 specification. The 'filters'
4970parameter sets which filter(s), if any, should be used for each
Alex Naidis7a055fd2016-10-01 12:23:07 +02004971scanline. Possible values are PNG_ALL_FILTERS, PNG_NO_FILTERS,
4972or PNG_FAST_FILTERS to turn filtering on and off, or to turn on
4973just the fast-decoding subset of filters, respectively.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08004974
4975Individual filter types are PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB,
4976PNG_FILTER_UP, PNG_FILTER_AVG, PNG_FILTER_PAETH, which can be bitwise
4977ORed together with '|' to specify one or more filters to use.
4978These filters are described in more detail in the PNG specification.
4979If you intend to change the filter type during the course of writing
4980the image, you should start with flags set for all of the filters
4981you intend to use so that libpng can initialize its internal
4982structures appropriately for all of the filter types. (Note that this
4983means the first row must always be adaptively filtered, because libpng
4984currently does not allocate the filter buffers until png_write_row()
4985is called for the first time.)
4986
Alex Naidis7a055fd2016-10-01 12:23:07 +02004987 filters = PNG_NO_FILTERS;

5001 PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if you are
5002 writing a PNG to be embedded in a MNG

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005007.SS Requesting debug printout
5008
5009The macro definition PNG_DEBUG can be used to request debugging
5010printout. Set it to an integer value in the range 0 to 3. Higher
5011numbers result in increasing amounts of debugging information. The
5012information is printed to the "stderr" file, unless another file
5013name is specified in the PNG_DEBUG_FILE macro definition.
5014
5015When PNG_DEBUG > 0, the following functions (macros) become available:
5016
5017 png_debug(level, message)
5018 png_debug1(level, message, p1)
5019 png_debug2(level, message, p1, p2)
5020
5021in which "level" is compared to PNG_DEBUG to decide whether to print
5022the message, "message" is the formatted string to be printed,
5023and p1 and p2 are parameters that are to be embedded in the string
5024according to printf-style formatting directives. For example,
5025
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005026 png_debug1(2, "foo=%d", foo);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005027
5028is expanded to
5029
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005030 if (PNG_DEBUG > 2)
5031 fprintf(PNG_DEBUG_FILE, "foo=%d\en", foo);
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005032
5033When PNG_DEBUG is defined but is zero, the macros aren't defined, but you
5034can still use PNG_DEBUG to control your own debugging:
5035
5036 #ifdef PNG_DEBUG
5037 fprintf(stderr, ...
5038 #endif
5039
5040When PNG_DEBUG = 1, the macros are defined, but only png_debug statements
5041having level = 0 will be printed. There aren't any such statements in
5042this version of libpng, but if you insert some they will be printed.

The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005045
5046The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
5047certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
5048Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the
5049png_permit_mng_features() function:
5050
5051 feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005052
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005053 mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
5054 features you want to enable. These include
5055 PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
5056 PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
5057 PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005058
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005059 feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
5060 your mask with the set of MNG features that is
5061 supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
5062
5063It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
5064PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped
5065in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
5066and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these
5067or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
5068them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04005069https://www.libmng.com/) instead.

xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005071.SH VIII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005072
5073It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
5074distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
5075Andreas Dilger, who had taken over from Guy during 1996 and 1997, and
5076distributed versions 0.89 through 0.96, but rather by another member
5077of the original PNG Group, Glenn Randers-Pehrson. Guy and Andreas are
5078still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
5079
5080The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),
5081png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been
5082moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. These
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005083functions will be removed from libpng version 1.4.0.
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005084
5085The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
5086via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and
5087png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures
5088from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the
5089use of custom error handling routines during the initialization, which
5090the old functions do not. The functions png_read_destroy() and
5091png_write_destroy() do not actually free the memory that libpng
5092allocated for these structs, but just reset the data structures, so they
5093can be used instead of png_destroy_read_struct() and
5094png_destroy_write_struct() if you feel there is too much system overhead
5095allocating and freeing the png_struct for each image read.
5096
5097Setting the error callbacks via png_set_message_fn() before
5098png_read_init() as was suggested in libpng-0.88 is no longer supported
5099because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions
5100to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero. It is still possible
5101to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with
5102png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a new
5103name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use the old
5104method.
5105
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305106Support for the sCAL, iCCP, iTXt, and sPLT chunks was added at libpng-1.0.6;
5107however, iTXt support was not enabled by default.
5108
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005109Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library
5110you are using at run-time:
5111
5112 png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number();
5113
5114The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor
5115version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero,
5116(e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007).
5117
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005118Note that this function does not take a png_ptr, so you can call it
5119before you've created one.
5120
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005121You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your
5122application:
5123
5124 png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER;
5125
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005126.SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x to 1.2.x
The Android Open Source Project893912b2009-03-03 19:30:05 -08005127
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005128Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To
5129accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(),
5130png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(),
5131png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added.
5132
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005133Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of
5134version 1.2.41.
5135
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005136Support for certain MNG features was enabled.
5137
5138Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got
5139around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
5140png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this
5141function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE
5142builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36).
5143
5144The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues
5145a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to
5146acquire the requested memory allocation.
5147
5148Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled
5149by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(),
5150and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6.
5151
5152The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7.
5153
5154The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9.
5155Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the
5156tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is
5157deprecated.
5158
5159A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of
5160assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were
5161added at libpng-1.2.0:
5162
5163 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED
5164 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU
5165 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW
5166 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE
5167 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB
5168 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP
5169 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG
5170 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH
5171 PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED
5172 PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS
5173 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
5174 PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS
5175 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
5176
5177We added the following functions in support of runtime
5178selection of assembler code features:
5179
5180 png_get_mmx_flagmask()
5181 png_set_mmx_thresholds()
5182 png_get_asm_flags()
5183 png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold()
5184 png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold()
5185 png_set_asm_flags()
5186
5187We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,
5188when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue.
5189
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005190These macros are deprecated:
5191
5192 PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5193 PNG_PROGRESSIVE_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED
5194 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ_SUPPORTED
5195 PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5196 PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5197 PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
5198
5199They have been replaced, respectively, by:
5200
5201 PNG_NO_READ_TRANSFORMS
5202 PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ
5203 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ
5204 PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS
5205 PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5206 PNG_NO_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5207
5208PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been
5209deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6.
5210
5211The function
5212 png_check_sig(sig, num)
5213was replaced with
5214 !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num)
5215It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
5216
5217The function
5218 png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
5219which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
5220 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
5221which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9.
5222
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005223.SH X. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005224
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005225Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
5226png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005227
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005228Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
5229png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
5230
5231Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
5232will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
5233The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
5234were added to the library.
5235
5236We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
5237and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
5238
5239We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
5240input transforms.
5241
5242Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
5243
5244Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
5245
5246Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
5247
5248Typecasted NULL definitions such as
5249 #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
5250were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
5251NULL instead.
5252
5253The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
5254changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
5255
5256The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
5257were removed.
5258
5259The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
5260
5261The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
5262
5263Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
5264
5265The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
5266png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
5267have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
5268
5269The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
5270since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
5271
5272We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
5273png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
5274png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
5275png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
5276
5277We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
5278png_memset_check() functions. Instead use !png_sig_cmp(), memcpy(),
5279and memset(), respectively.
5280
5281The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
5282deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
5283png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
5284expanded any tRNS chunk to an alpha channel.
5285
5286Macros for png_get_uint_16, png_get_uint_32, and png_get_int_32
5287were added and are used by default instead of the corresponding
5288functions. Unfortunately,
5289from libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
5290function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
5291
5292We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
5293 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
5294to
5295 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
5296
5297This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
5298
5299The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
5300of "png_malloc(); memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
5301where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
5302after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
5303behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
5304the process.
5305
5306We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005307png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with size_t instead of
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005308png_uint_32.
5309
5310Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
5311never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
5312png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
5313
5314The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
5315The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
5316allocates. Applications that called png_zalloc(png_ptr, number, size)
5317can call png_calloc(png_ptr, number*size) instead, and can call
5318png_free() instead of png_zfree().
5319
5320Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
5321it has not been well tested and doesn't actually "dither".
5322The code was not
5323removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
5324PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305325was re-enabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005326reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
5327the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
5328PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS, and PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED
5329was renamed to PNG_READ_QUANTIZE_SUPPORTED.
5330
5331We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.
5332
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005333.SH XI. Changes to Libpng from version 1.4.x to 1.5.x
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005334
5335From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
5336function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305337The incorrect macro was removed from libpng-1.4.5.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005338
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305339Checking for invalid palette index on write was added at libpng
53401.5.10. If a pixel contains an invalid (out-of-range) index libpng issues
5341a benign error. This is enabled by default because this condition is an
5342error according to the PNG specification, Clause 11.3.2, but the error can
5343be ignored in each png_ptr with
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005344
5345 png_set_check_for_invalid_index(png_ptr, allowed);
5346
5347 allowed - one of
5348 0: disable benign error (accept the
5349 invalid data without warning).
5350 1: enable benign error (treat the
5351 invalid data as an error or a
5352 warning).
5353
5354If the error is ignored, or if png_benign_error() treats it as a warning,
5355any invalid pixels are decoded as opaque black by the decoder and written
5356as-is by the encoder.
5357
5358Retrieving the maximum palette index found was added at libpng-1.5.15.
5359This statement must appear after png_read_png() or png_read_image() while
5360reading, and after png_write_png() or png_write_image() while writing.
5361
5362 int max_palette = png_get_palette_max(png_ptr, info_ptr);
5363
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305364This will return the maximum palette index found in the image, or "\-1" if
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005365the palette was not checked, or "0" if no palette was found. Note that this
5366does not account for any palette index used by ancillary chunks such as the
5367bKGD chunk; you must check those separately to determine the maximum
5368palette index actually used.
5369
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005370There are no substantial API changes between the non-deprecated parts of
5371the 1.4.5 API and the 1.5.0 API; however, the ability to directly access
5372members of the main libpng control structures, png_struct and png_info,
5373deprecated in earlier versions of libpng, has been completely removed from
Matt Sarett11466862016-02-19 13:41:30 -05005374libpng 1.5, and new private "pngstruct.h", "pnginfo.h", and "pngdebug.h"
5375header files were created.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005376
5377We no longer include zlib.h in png.h. The include statement has been moved
5378to pngstruct.h, where it is not accessible by applications. Applications that
5379need access to information in zlib.h will need to add the '#include "zlib.h"'
5380directive. It does not matter whether this is placed prior to or after
5381the '"#include png.h"' directive.
5382
5383The png_sprintf(), png_strcpy(), and png_strncpy() macros are no longer used
5384and were removed.
5385
5386We moved the png_strlen(), png_memcpy(), png_memset(), and png_memcmp()
5387macros into a private header file (pngpriv.h) that is not accessible to
5388applications.
5389
5390In png_get_iCCP, the type of "profile" was changed from png_charpp
5391to png_bytepp, and in png_set_iCCP, from png_charp to png_const_bytep.
5392
5393There are changes of form in png.h, including new and changed macros to
5394declare parts of the API. Some API functions with arguments that are
5395pointers to data not modified within the function have been corrected to
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005396declare these arguments with const.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005397
5398Much of the internal use of C macros to control the library build has also
5399changed and some of this is visible in the exported header files, in
5400particular the use of macros to control data and API elements visible
5401during application compilation may require significant revision to
5402application code. (It is extremely rare for an application to do this.)
5403
5404Any program that compiled against libpng 1.4 and did not use deprecated
5405features or access internal library structures should compile and work
5406against libpng 1.5, except for the change in the prototype for
5407png_get_iCCP() and png_set_iCCP() API functions mentioned above.
5408
5409libpng 1.5.0 adds PNG_ PASS macros to help in the reading and writing of
5410interlaced images. The macros return the number of rows and columns in
5411each pass and information that can be used to de-interlace and (if
5412absolutely necessary) interlace an image.
5413
5414libpng 1.5.0 adds an API png_longjmp(png_ptr, value). This API calls
5415the application-provided png_longjmp_ptr on the internal, but application
5416initialized, longjmp buffer. It is provided as a convenience to avoid
5417the need to use the png_jmpbuf macro, which had the unnecessary side
5418effect of resetting the internal png_longjmp_ptr value.
5419
5420libpng 1.5.0 includes a complete fixed point API. By default this is
5421present along with the corresponding floating point API. In general the
5422fixed point API is faster and smaller than the floating point one because
5423the PNG file format used fixed point, not floating point. This applies
5424even if the library uses floating point in internal calculations. A new
5425macro, PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED, reveals whether the library
5426uses floating point arithmetic (the default) or fixed point arithmetic
5427internally for performance critical calculations such as gamma correction.
5428In some cases, the gamma calculations may produce slightly different
5429results. This has changed the results in png_rgb_to_gray and in alpha
5430composition (png_set_background for example). This applies even if the
5431original image was already linear (gamma == 1.0) and, therefore, it is
5432not necessary to linearize the image. This is because libpng has *not*
5433been changed to optimize that case correctly, yet.
5434
5435Fixed point support for the sCAL chunk comes with an important caveat;
5436the sCAL specification uses a decimal encoding of floating point values
5437and the accuracy of PNG fixed point values is insufficient for
5438representation of these values. Consequently a "string" API
5439(png_get_sCAL_s and png_set_sCAL_s) is the only reliable way of reading
5440arbitrary sCAL chunks in the absence of either the floating point API or
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305441internal floating point calculations. Starting with libpng-1.5.0, both
5442of these functions are present when PNG_sCAL_SUPPORTED is defined. Prior
5443to libpng-1.5.0, their presence also depended upon PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED
5444being defined and PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED not being defined.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005445
5446Applications no longer need to include the optional distribution header
5447file pngusr.h or define the corresponding macros during application
5448build in order to see the correct variant of the libpng API. From 1.5.0
5449application code can check for the corresponding _SUPPORTED macro:
5450
5451#ifdef PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
5452 /* code that uses the inch conversion APIs. */
5453#endif
5454
5455This macro will only be defined if the inch conversion functions have been
5456compiled into libpng. The full set of macros, and whether or not support
5457has been compiled in, are available in the header file pnglibconf.h.
5458This header file is specific to the libpng build. Notice that prior to
54591.5.0 the _SUPPORTED macros would always have the default definition unless
5460reset by pngusr.h or by explicit settings on the compiler command line.
5461These settings may produce compiler warnings or errors in 1.5.0 because
5462of macro redefinition.
5463
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005464Applications can now choose whether to use these macros or to call the
5465corresponding function by defining PNG_USE_READ_MACROS or
5466PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS before including png.h. Notice that this is
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305467only supported from 1.5.0; defining PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS prior to 1.5.0
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005468will lead to a link failure.
5469
5470Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the zlib compressor used the same set of parameters
5471when compressing the IDAT data and textual data such as zTXt and iCCP.
5472In libpng-1.5.4 we reinitialized the zlib stream for each type of data.
5473We added five png_set_text_*() functions for setting the parameters to
5474use with textual data.
5475
5476Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE_SUPPORTED
5477option was off by default, and slightly inaccurate scaling occurred.
5478This option can no longer be turned off, and the choice of accurate
5479or inaccurate 16-to-8 scaling is by using the new png_set_scale_16_to_8()
5480API for accurate scaling or the old png_set_strip_16_to_8() API for simple
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305481chopping. In libpng-1.5.4, the PNG_READ_16_TO_8_ACCURATE_SCALE_SUPPORTED
5482macro became PNG_READ_SCALE_16_TO_8_SUPPORTED, and the PNG_READ_16_TO_8
5483macro became PNG_READ_STRIP_16_TO_8_SUPPORTED, to enable the two
5484png_set_*_16_to_8() functions separately.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005485
5486Prior to libpng-1.5.4, the png_set_user_limits() function could only be
5487used to reduce the width and height limits from the value of
5488PNG_USER_WIDTH_MAX and PNG_USER_HEIGHT_MAX, although this document said
5489that it could be used to override them. Now this function will reduce or
5490increase the limits.
5491
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04005492Starting in libpng-1.5.22, default user limits were established. These
5493can be overridden by application calls to png_set_user_limits(),
5494png_set_user_chunk_cache_max(), and/or png_set_user_malloc_max().
5495The limits are now
5496 max possible default
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005497 png_user_width_max 0x7fffffff 1,000,000
5498 png_user_height_max 0x7fffffff 1,000,000
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04005499 png_user_chunk_cache_max 0 (unlimited) 1000
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005500 png_user_chunk_malloc_max 0 (unlimited) 8,000,000
5501
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305502The png_set_option() function (and the "options" member of the png struct) was
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005503added to libpng-1.5.15, with option PNG_ARM_NEON.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005504
5505The library now supports a complete fixed point implementation and can
5506thus be used on systems that have no floating point support or very
5507limited or slow support. Previously gamma correction, an essential part
5508of complete PNG support, required reasonably fast floating point.
5509
5510As part of this the choice of internal implementation has been made
5511independent of the choice of fixed versus floating point APIs and all the
5512missing fixed point APIs have been implemented.
5513
5514The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005515changed, as described in the INSTALL file.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005516
5517A new test program, pngvalid, is provided in addition to pngtest.
5518pngvalid validates the arithmetic accuracy of the gamma correction
5519calculations and includes a number of validations of the file format.
5520A subset of the full range of tests is run when "make check" is done
5521(in the 'configure' build.) pngvalid also allows total allocated memory
5522usage to be evaluated and performs additional memory overwrite validation.
5523
5524Many changes to individual feature macros have been made. The following
5525are the changes most likely to be noticed by library builders who
5526configure libpng:
5527
55281) All feature macros now have consistent naming:
5529
5530#define PNG_NO_feature turns the feature off
5531#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED turns the feature on
5532
5533pnglibconf.h contains one line for each feature macro which is either:
5534
5535#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
5536
5537if the feature is supported or:
5538
5539/*#undef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED*/
5540
5541if it is not. Library code consistently checks for the 'SUPPORTED' macro.
5542It does not, and libpng applications should not, check for the 'NO' macro
5543which will not normally be defined even if the feature is not supported.
5544The 'NO' macros are only used internally for setting or not setting the
5545corresponding 'SUPPORTED' macros.
5546
5547Compatibility with the old names is provided as follows:
5548
5549PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS turns on PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
5550
5551And the following definitions disable the corresponding feature:
5552
5553PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED disables SETJMP
5554PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_TRANSFORMS
5555PNG_NO_READ_COMPOSITED_NODIV disables READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV
5556PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_TRANSFORMS
5557PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5558PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
5559
5560Library builders should remove use of the above, inconsistent, names.
5561
55622) Warning and error message formatting was previously conditional on
5563the STDIO feature. The library has been changed to use the
5564CONSOLE_IO feature instead. This means that if CONSOLE_IO is disabled
5565the library no longer uses the printf(3) functions, even though the
5566default read/write implementations use (FILE) style stdio.h functions.
5567
55683) Three feature macros now control the fixed/floating point decisions:
5569
5570PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the floating point APIs
5571
5572PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the fixed point APIs; however, in
5573practice these are normally required internally anyway (because the PNG
5574file format is fixed point), therefore in most cases PNG_NO_FIXED_POINT
5575merely stops the function from being exported.
5576
5577PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED chooses between the internal floating
5578point implementation or the fixed point one. Typically the fixed point
5579implementation is larger and slower than the floating point implementation
5580on a system that supports floating point; however, it may be faster on a
5581system which lacks floating point hardware and therefore uses a software
5582emulation.
5583
55844) Added PNG_{READ,WRITE}_INT_FUNCTIONS_SUPPORTED. This allows the
5585functions to read and write ints to be disabled independently of
5586PNG_USE_READ_MACROS, which allows libpng to be built with the functions
5587even though the default is to use the macros - this allows applications
5588to choose at app buildtime whether or not to use macros (previously
5589impossible because the functions weren't in the default build.)
5590
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005591.SH XII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.5.x to 1.6.x
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005592
5593A "simplified API" has been added (see documentation in png.h and a simple
5594example in contrib/examples/pngtopng.c). The new publicly visible API
5595includes the following:
5596
5597 macros:
5598 PNG_FORMAT_*
5599 PNG_IMAGE_*
5600 structures:
5601 png_control
5602 png_image
5603 read functions
5604 png_image_begin_read_from_file()
5605 png_image_begin_read_from_stdio()
5606 png_image_begin_read_from_memory()
5607 png_image_finish_read()
5608 png_image_free()
5609 write functions
5610 png_image_write_to_file()
Matt Sarett11466862016-02-19 13:41:30 -05005611 png_image_write_to_memory()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005612 png_image_write_to_stdio()
5613
5614Starting with libpng-1.6.0, you can configure libpng to prefix all exported
5615symbols, using the PNG_PREFIX macro.
5616
5617We no longer include string.h in png.h. The include statement has been moved
5618to pngpriv.h, where it is not accessible by applications. Applications that
5619need access to information in string.h must add an '#include <string.h>'
5620directive. It does not matter whether this is placed prior to or after
5621the '#include "png.h"' directive.
5622
5623The following API are now DEPRECATED:
5624 png_info_init_3()
5625 png_convert_to_rfc1123() which has been replaced
5626 with png_convert_to_rfc1123_buffer()
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005627 png_malloc_default()
5628 png_free_default()
5629 png_reset_zstream()
5630
5631The following have been removed:
5632 png_get_io_chunk_name(), which has been replaced
5633 with png_get_io_chunk_type(). The new
5634 function returns a 32-bit integer instead of
5635 a string.
5636 The png_sizeof(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(), png_memcmp(), and
5637 png_memset() macros are no longer used in the libpng sources and
5638 have been removed. These had already been made invisible to applications
5639 (i.e., defined in the private pngpriv.h header file) since libpng-1.5.0.
5640
5641The signatures of many exported functions were changed, such that
5642 png_structp became png_structrp or png_const_structrp
5643 png_infop became png_inforp or png_const_inforp
5644where "rp" indicates a "restricted pointer".
5645
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005646Dropped support for 16-bit platforms. The support for FAR/far types has
5647been eliminated and the definition of png_alloc_size_t is now controlled
5648by a flag so that 'small size_t' systems can select it if necessary.
5649
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005650Error detection in some chunks has improved; in particular the iCCP chunk
5651reader now does pretty complete validation of the basic format. Some bad
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305652profiles that were previously accepted are now accepted with a warning or
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005653rejected, depending upon the png_set_benign_errors() setting, in particular
5654the very old broken Microsoft/HP 3144-byte sRGB profile. Starting with
5655libpng-1.6.11, recognizing and checking sRGB profiles can be avoided by
5656means of
5657
5658 #if defined(PNG_SKIP_sRGB_CHECK_PROFILE) && \
5659 defined(PNG_SET_OPTION_SUPPORTED)
5660 png_set_option(png_ptr, PNG_SKIP_sRGB_CHECK_PROFILE,
5661 PNG_OPTION_ON);
5662 #endif
5663
5664It's not a good idea to do this if you are using the "simplified API",
5665which needs to be able to recognize sRGB profiles conveyed via the iCCP
5666chunk.
5667
5668The PNG spec requirement that only grayscale profiles may appear in images
5669with color type 0 or 4 and that even if the image only contains gray pixels,
5670only RGB profiles may appear in images with color type 2, 3, or 6, is now
5671enforced. The sRGB chunk is allowed to appear in images with any color type
5672and is interpreted by libpng to convey a one-tracer-curve gray profile or a
5673three-tracer-curve RGB profile as appropriate.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005674
Matt Sarett11466862016-02-19 13:41:30 -05005675Libpng 1.5.x erroneously used /MD for Debug DLL builds; if you used the debug
5676builds in your app and you changed your app to use /MD you will need to
5677change it back to /MDd for libpng 1.6.x.
5678
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005679Prior to libpng-1.6.0 a warning would be issued if the iTXt chunk contained
5680an empty language field or an empty translated keyword. Both of these
5681are allowed by the PNG specification, so these warnings are no longer issued.
5682
5683The library now issues an error if the application attempts to set a
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305684transform after it calls png_read_update_info() or if it attempts to call
5685both png_read_update_info() and png_start_read_image() or to call either
5686of them more than once.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005687
5688The default condition for benign_errors is now to treat benign errors as
5689warnings while reading and as errors while writing.
5690
5691The library now issues a warning if both background processing and RGB to
5692gray are used when gamma correction happens. As with previous versions of
5693the library the results are numerically very incorrect in this case.
5694
5695There are some minor arithmetic changes in some transforms such as
5696png_set_background(), that might be detected by certain regression tests.
5697
5698Unknown chunk handling has been improved internally, without any API change.
5699This adds more correct option control of the unknown handling, corrects
5700a pre-existing bug where the per-chunk 'keep' setting is ignored, and makes
5701it possible to skip IDAT chunks in the sequential reader.
5702
5703The machine-generated configure files are no longer included in branches
5704libpng16 and later of the GIT repository. They continue to be included
5705in the tarball releases, however.
5706
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305707Libpng-1.6.0 through 1.6.2 used the CMF bytes at the beginning of the IDAT
5708stream to set the size of the sliding window for reading instead of using the
5709default 32-kbyte sliding window size. It was discovered that there are
5710hundreds of PNG files in the wild that have incorrect CMF bytes that caused
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005711zlib to issue the "invalid distance too far back" error and reject the file.
5712Libpng-1.6.3 and later calculate their own safe CMF from the image dimensions,
5713provide a way to revert to the libpng-1.5.x behavior (ignoring the CMF bytes
5714and using a 32-kbyte sliding window), by using
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305715
5716 png_set_option(png_ptr, PNG_MAXIMUM_INFLATE_WINDOW,
5717 PNG_OPTION_ON);
5718
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005719and provide a tool (contrib/tools/pngfix) for rewriting a PNG file while
5720optimizing the CMF bytes in its IDAT chunk correctly.
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005721
5722Libpng-1.6.0 and libpng-1.6.1 wrote uncompressed iTXt chunks with the wrong
5723length, which resulted in PNG files that cannot be read beyond the bad iTXt
5724chunk. This error was fixed in libpng-1.6.3, and a tool (called
5725contrib/tools/png-fix-itxt) has been added to the libpng distribution.
5726
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005727Starting with libpng-1.6.17, the PNG_SAFE_LIMITS macro was eliminated
5728and safe limits are used by default (users who need larger limits
5729can still override them at compile time or run time, as described above).
5730
5731The new limits are
5732 default spec limit
5733 png_user_width_max 1,000,000 2,147,483,647
5734 png_user_height_max 1,000,000 2,147,483,647
5735 png_user_chunk_cache_max 128 unlimited
5736 png_user_chunk_malloc_max 8,000,000 unlimited
5737
5738Starting with libpng-1.6.18, a PNG_RELEASE_BUILD macro was added, which allows
5739library builders to control compilation for an installed system (a release build).
5740It can be set for testing debug or beta builds to ensure that they will compile
5741when the build type is switched to RC or STABLE. In essence this overrides the
5742PNG_LIBPNG_BUILD_BASE_TYPE definition which is not directly user controllable.
5743
5744Starting with libpng-1.6.19, attempting to set an over-length PLTE chunk
5745is an error. Previously this requirement of the PNG specification was not
5746enforced, and the palette was always limited to 256 entries. An over-length
5747PLTE chunk found in an input PNG is silently truncated.
5748
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04005749Starting with libpng-1.6.31, the eXIf chunk is supported. Libpng does not
5750attempt to decode the Exif profile; it simply returns a byte array
5751containing the profile to the calling application which must do its own
5752decoding.

5756The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never
5757changed, and is unaffected by conditional compilation macros. It is the
5758best choice for use in configure scripts for detecting the presence of any

5808The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
5809
5810 if (condition)
xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005811 return 0;
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005812
5813We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
5814are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
5815plus four more spaces.
5816
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005817For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
5818in the first column.
5819
5820 #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
5821 # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
5822 # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
5823 # endif
5824 #endif
5825
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005826Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
5827the statement that follows the comment:
5828
5829 /* Single-line comment */
5830 statement;
5831
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005832 /* This is a multiple-line
5833 * comment.
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005834 */
5835 statement;
5836
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005837Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005838to which they pertain:
5839
5840 statement; /* comment */
5841
5842We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
5843used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
5844code.
5845
5846Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
5847exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:
5848
5849 /* This is a public function that is visible to
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005850 * application programmers. It does thus-and-so.
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005851 */
5852 void PNGAPI
5853 png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
5854 {
5855 body;
5856 }
5857
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305858The return type and decorations are placed on a separate line
5859ahead of the function name, as illustrated above.
5860
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005861The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h,
5862above the comment that says
5863
5864 /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005865
5866We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"":
5867
5868 void /* PRIVATE */
5869 png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
5870 {
5871 body;
5872 }
5873
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005874The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005875pngtest) appear in pngpriv.h above the comment that says
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005876
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005877 /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ */
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005878
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005879To avoid polluting the global namespace, the names of all exported
5880functions and variables begin with "png_", and all publicly visible C
5881preprocessor macros begin with "PNG". We request that applications that
5882use libpng *not* begin any of their own symbols with either of these strings.
5883
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005884We put a space after the "sizeof" operator and we omit the
5885optional parentheses around its argument when the argument
5886is an expression, not a type name, and we always enclose the
5887sizeof operator, with its argument, in parentheses:
5888
5889 (sizeof (png_uint_32))
5890 (sizeof array)
5891
5892Prior to libpng-1.6.0 we used a "png_sizeof()" macro, formatted as
5893though it were a function.
5894
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005895Control keywords if, for, while, and switch are always followed by a space
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04005896to distinguish them from function calls, which have no trailing space.
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005897
5898We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005899in "for" statements, and we put spaces before and after each
5900C binary operator and after "for" or "while", and before
5901"?". We don't put a space between a typecast and the expression
5902being cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005903left parenthesis that follows it:
5904
Sireesh Tripurarib478e662014-05-09 15:15:10 +05305905 for (i = 2; i > 0; \-\-i)
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005906 y[i] = a(x) + (int)b;
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005907
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005908We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and #if !defined()
5909when there is only one macro being tested. We always use parentheses
5910with "defined".
5911
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005912We express integer constants that are used as bit masks in hex format,
5913with an even number of lower-case hex digits, and to make them unsigned
5914(e.g., 0x00U, 0xffU, 0x0100U) and long if they are greater than 0x7fff
5915(e.g., 0xffffUL).
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005916
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005917We prefer to use underscores rather than camelCase in names, except
Chris Craikb50c2172013-07-29 15:28:30 -07005918for a few type names that we inherit from zlib.h.
Patrick Scotta0bb96c2009-07-22 11:50:02 -04005919
Leon Scroggins III3cc83ac2017-10-06 11:02:56 -04005920We prefer "if (something != 0)" and "if (something == 0)" over
5921"if (something)" and if "(!something)", respectively, and for pointers
5922we prefer "if (some_pointer != NULL)" or "if (some_pointer == NULL)".
Matt Sarett9b1fe632015-11-25 10:21:17 -05005923
Patrick Scott5f6bd842010-06-28 16:55:16 -04005924We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources.
5925
5926Lines do not exceed 80 characters.
5927
5928Other rules can be inferred by inspecting the libpng source.

5931
5932Note about libpng version numbers:
5933
5934Due to various miscommunications, unforeseen code incompatibilities
5935and occasional factors outside the authors' control, version numbering
5936on the library has not always been consistent and straightforward.
5937The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was
5938the first widely used release:
5939

xNombred07bb0d2020-03-10 20:17:12 +01005987Henceforth the source version will match the shared-library minor and
5988patch numbers; the shared-library major version number will be used for
5989changes in backward compatibility, as it is intended.
5990The PNG_PNGLIB_VER macro, which is not used within libpng but is
5991available for applications, is an unsigned integer of the form XYYZZ
5992corresponding to the source version X.Y.Z (leading zeros in Y and Z).
5993Beta versions were given the previous public release number plus a
5994letter, until version 1.0.6j; from then on they were given the upcoming
5995public release number plus "betaNN" or "rcNN".
