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

104 * address which we place into the link field in cinfo.

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

124 /* Step 3: set parameters for compression */
126 /* First we supply a description of the input image.
127 * Four fields of the cinfo struct must be filled in:
129 cinfo
.image_width
= image_width
; /* image width and height, in pixels */
130 cinfo
.image_height
= image_height

131 cinfo

, TRUE
/* limit to baseline-JPEG values */);
143 /* Step 4: Start compressor */
145 /* TRUE ensures that we will write a complete interchange-JPEG file.

148 jpeg_start_compress(&cinfo
, TRUE
);
150 /* Step 5: while (scan lines remain to be written) */
151 /* jpeg_write_scanlines(...); */
153 /* Here we use the library's state variable cinfo.next_scanline as the
154 * loop counter, so that we don't have to keep track ourselves.
155 * To keep things simple, we pass one scanline per call; you can pass
156 * more if you wish, though.
158 row_stride
= image_width
* 3; /* JSAMPLEs per row in image_buffer */
160 while (cinfo
.next_scanline
< cinfo
.image_height
) {
161 /* jpeg_write_scanlines expects an array of pointers to scanlines.

169 /* Step 6: Finish compression */
171 jpeg_finish_compress(&cinfo
);
172 /* After finish_compress, we can close the output file. */
175 /* Step 7: release JPEG compression object */
177 /* This is an important step since it will release a good deal of memory. */
178 jpeg_destroy_compress(&cinfo
);
180 /* And we're done! */
187 * In the above loop, we ignored the return value of jpeg_write_scanlines,
188 * which is the number of scanlines actually written. We could get away
189 * with this because we were only relying on the value of cinfo.next_scanline,
190 * which will be incremented correctly. If you maintain additional loop
191 * variables then you should be careful to increment them properly.
192 * Actually, for output to a stdio stream you needn't worry, because
193 * then jpeg_write_scanlines will write all the lines passed (or else exit
194 * with a fatal error). Partial writes can only occur if you use a data
195 * destination module that can demand suspension of the compressor.
196 * (If you don't know what that's for, you don't need it.)
198 * If the compressor requires full-image buffers (for entropy-coding
199 * optimization or a multi-scan JPEG file), it will create temporary
200 * files for anything that doesn't fit within the maximum-memory setting.
201 * (Note that temp files are NOT needed if you use the default parameters.)
202 * On some systems you may need to set up a signal handler to ensure that
203 * temporary files are deleted if the program is interrupted. See libjpeg.doc.
205 * Scanlines MUST be supplied in top-to-bottom order if you want your JPEG
206 * files to be compatible with everyone else's. If you cannot readily read
207 * your data in that order, you'll need an intermediate array to hold the
208 * image. See rdtarga.c or rdbmp.c for examples of handling bottom-to-top
209 * source data using the JPEG code's internal virtual-array mechanisms.
214 /******************** JPEG DECOMPRESSION SAMPLE INTERFACE *******************/
216 /* This half of the example shows how to read data from the JPEG decompressor.
217 * It's a bit more refined than the above, in that we show:
218 * (a) how to modify the JPEG library's standard error-reporting behavior;
219 * (b) how to allocate workspace using the library's memory manager.
221 * Just to make this example a little different from the first one, we'll
222 * assume that we do not intend to put the whole image into an in-memory
223 * buffer, but to send it line-by-line someplace else. We need a one-
224 * scanline-high JSAMPLE array as a work buffer, and we will let the JPEG
225 * memory manager allocate it for us. This approach is actually quite useful
226 * because we don't need to remember to deallocate the buffer separately: it
227 * will go away automatically when the JPEG object is cleaned up.
234 * The JPEG library's standard error handler (jerror.c) is divided into
235 * several "methods" which you can override individually. This lets you
236 * adjust the behavior without duplicating a lot of code, which you might
237 * have to update with each future release.
239 * Our example here shows how to override the "error_exit" method so that
240 * control is returned to the library's caller when a fatal error occurs,
241 * rather than calling exit() as the standard error_exit method does.
243 * We use C's setjmp/longjmp facility to return control. This means that the
244 * routine which calls the JPEG library must first execute a setjmp() call to
245 * establish the return point. We want the replacement error_exit to do a
246 * longjmp(). But we need to make the setjmp buffer accessible to the
247 * error_exit routine. To do this, we make a private extension of the
248 * standard JPEG error handler object. (If we were using C++, we'd say we
249 * were making a subclass of the regular error handler.)
251 * Here's the extended error handler struct:
254 struct my_error_mgr
{
255 struct jpeg_error_mgr pub
; /* "public" fields */
257 jmp_buf setjmp_buffer
; /* for return to caller */
260 typedef struct my_error_mgr
* my_error_ptr
;
263 * Here's the routine that will replace the standard error_exit method:
267 my_error_exit (j_common_ptr cinfo
)
269 /* cinfo->err really points to a my_error_mgr struct, so coerce pointer */
270 my_error_ptr myerr
= (my_error_ptr

429 * Scanlines are returned in the same order as they appear in the JPEG file,

431 * you can use one of the virtual arrays provided by the JPEG memory manager
432 * to invert the data. See wrbmp.c for an example.
434 * As with compression, some operating modes may require temporary files.
435 * On some systems you may need to set up a signal handler to ensure that
436 * temporary files are deleted if the program is interrupted. See libjpeg.doc.
