4 * This file illustrates how to use the IJG code as a subroutine library
5 * to read or write JPEG image files. You should look at this code in
6 * conjunction with the documentation file libjpeg.txt.
8 * This code will not do anything useful as-is, but it may be helpful as a
9 * skeleton for constructing routines that call the JPEG library.
11 * We present these routines in the same coding style used in the JPEG code
12 * (ANSI function definitions, etc); but you are of course free to code your
13 * routines in a different style if you prefer.
19 * Include file for users of JPEG library.
20 * You will need to have included system headers that define at least
21 * the typedefs FILE and size_t before you can include jpeglib.h.
22 * (stdio.h is sufficient on ANSI-conforming systems.)
23 * You may also wish to include "jerror.h".
29 * <setjmp.h> is used for the optional error recovery mechanism shown in
30 * the second part of the example.
37 /******************** JPEG COMPRESSION SAMPLE INTERFACE *******************/
39 /* This half of the example shows how to feed data into the JPEG compressor.
40 * We present a minimal version that does not worry about refinements such
41 * as error recovery (the JPEG code will just exit() if it gets an error).
48 * The standard input image format is a rectangular array of pixels, with
49 * each pixel having the same number of "component" values (color channels).
50 * Each pixel row is an array of JSAMPLEs (which typically are unsigned chars).
51 * If you are working with color data, then the color values for each pixel
52 * must be adjacent in the row; for example, R,G,B,R,G,B,R,G,B,... for 24-bit
55 * For this example, we'll assume that this data structure matches the way
56 * our application has stored the image in memory, so we can just pass a
57 * pointer to our image buffer. In particular, let's say that the image is
58 * RGB color and is described by:
61 extern JSAMPLE
* image_buffer
; /* Points to large array of R,G,B-order data */
62 extern int image_height
; /* Number of rows in image */
63 extern int image_width
; /* Number of columns in image */
67 * Sample routine for JPEG compression. We assume that the target file name
68 * and a compression quality factor are passed in.
72 write_JPEG_file (char * filename
, int quality
)
74 /* This struct contains the JPEG compression parameters and pointers to
75 * working space (which is allocated as needed by the JPEG library).
76 * It is possible to have several such structures, representing multiple
77 * compression/decompression processes, in existence at once. We refer
78 * to any one struct (and its associated working data) as a "JPEG object".
80 struct jpeg_compress_struct cinfo
;
81 /* This struct represents a JPEG error handler. It is declared separately
82 * because applications often want to supply a specialized error handler
83 * (see the second half of this file for an example). But here we just
84 * take the easy way out and use the standard error handler, which will
85 * print a message on stderr and call exit() if compression fails.
86 * Note that this struct must live as long as the main JPEG parameter
87 * struct, to avoid dangling-pointer problems.
89 struct jpeg_error_mgr jerr
;
91 FILE * outfile
; /* target file */
92 JSAMPROW row_pointer
[1]; /* pointer to JSAMPLE row[s] */
93 int row_stride
; /* physical row width in image buffer */
95 /* Step 1: allocate and initialize JPEG compression object */
97 /* We have to set up the error handler first, in case the initialization
98 * step fails. (Unlikely, but it could happen if you are out of memory.)

107 /* Note: steps 2 and 3 can be done in either order. */
109 /* Here we use the library-supplied code to send compressed data to a
110 * stdio stream. You can also write your own code to do something else.
111 * VERY IMPORTANT: use "b" option to fopen() if you are on a machine that

114 if ((outfile

120 /* Step 3: set parameters for compression */
122 /* First we supply a description of the input image.

; /* image width and height, in pixels */
126 cinfo
.image_height

127 cinfo

139 /* Step 4: Start compressor */
141 /* TRUE ensures that we will write a complete interchange-JPEG file.

);
146 /* Step 5: while (scan lines remain to be written) */
147 /* jpeg_write_scanlines(...); */
149 /* Here we use the library's state variable cinfo.next_scanline as the
150 * loop counter, so that we don't have to keep track ourselves.

152 * more if you wish, though.
154 row_stride

156 while (cinfo
.next_scanline

165 /* Step 6: Finish compression */
167 jpeg_finish_compress(&cinfo

168 /* After finish_compress, we can close the output file. */
171 /* Step 7: release JPEG compression object */
173 /* This is an important step since it will release a good deal of memory. */
174 jpeg_destroy_compress(&cinfo
);
176 /* And we're done! */
183 * In the above loop, we ignored the return value of jpeg_write_scanlines,
184 * which is the number of scanlines actually written. We could get away
185 * with this because we were only relying on the value of cinfo.next_scanline,
186 * which will be incremented correctly. If you maintain additional loop
187 * variables then you should be careful to increment them properly.
188 * Actually, for output to a stdio stream you needn't worry, because
189 * then jpeg_write_scanlines will write all the lines passed (or else exit
190 * with a fatal error). Partial writes can only occur if you use a data
191 * destination module that can demand suspension of the compressor.
192 * (If you don't know what that's for, you don't need it.)
194 * If the compressor requires full-image buffers (for entropy-coding
195 * optimization or a multi-scan JPEG file), it will create temporary
196 * files for anything that doesn't fit within the maximum-memory setting.
197 * (Note that temp files are NOT needed if you use the default parameters.)
198 * On some systems you may need to set up a signal handler to ensure that
199 * temporary files are deleted if the program is interrupted. See libjpeg.txt.
201 * Scanlines MUST be supplied in top-to-bottom order if you want your JPEG
202 * files to be compatible with everyone else's. If you cannot readily read
203 * your data in that order, you'll need an intermediate array to hold the
204 * image. See rdtarga.c or rdbmp.c for examples of handling bottom-to-top
205 * source data using the JPEG code's internal virtual-array mechanisms.
210 /******************** JPEG DECOMPRESSION SAMPLE INTERFACE *******************/
212 /* This half of the example shows how to read data from the JPEG decompressor.
213 * It's a bit more refined than the above, in that we show:
214 * (a) how to modify the JPEG library's standard error-reporting behavior;
215 * (b) how to allocate workspace using the library's memory manager.
217 * Just to make this example a little different from the first one, we'll
218 * assume that we do not intend to put the whole image into an in-memory
219 * buffer, but to send it line-by-line someplace else. We need a one-
220 * scanline-high JSAMPLE array as a work buffer, and we will let the JPEG
221 * memory manager allocate it for us. This approach is actually quite useful
222 * because we don't need to remember to deallocate the buffer separately: it
223 * will go away automatically when the JPEG object is cleaned up.
230 * The JPEG library's standard error handler (jerror.c) is divided into
231 * several "methods" which you can override individually. This lets you
232 * adjust the behavior without duplicating a lot of code, which you might
233 * have to update with each future release.
235 * Our example here shows how to override the "error_exit" method so that
236 * control is returned to the library's caller when a fatal error occurs,
237 * rather than calling exit() as the standard error_exit method does.
239 * We use C's setjmp/longjmp facility to return control. This means that the
240 * routine which calls the JPEG library must first execute a setjmp() call to
241 * establish the return point. We want the replacement error_exit to do a
242 * longjmp(). But we need to make the setjmp buffer accessible to the
243 * error_exit routine. To do this, we make a private extension of the
244 * standard JPEG error handler object. (If we were using C++, we'd say we
245 * were making a subclass of the regular error handler.)
247 * Here's the extended error handler struct:
250 struct my_error_mgr
{
251 struct jpeg_error_mgr pub
; /* "public" fields */
253 jmp_buf setjmp_buffer
; /* for return to caller */
256 typedef struct my_error_mgr
* my_error_ptr
;
259 * Here's the routine that will replace the standard error_exit method:
263 my_error_exit (j_common_ptr cinfo
)
265 /* cinfo->err really points to a my_error_mgr struct, so coerce pointer */
266 my_error_ptr myerr

432 * temporary files are deleted if the program is interrupted. See libjpeg.txt.
