Codec.Picture.Png
Contents
Description
Module used for loading & writing 'Portable Network Graphics' (PNG) files.
A high level API is provided. It loads and saves images for you while hiding all the details about PNG chunks.
Basic functions for PNG handling are decodePng, encodePng
and encodePalettedPng. Convenience functions are provided
for direct file handling and using DynamicImages.
The loader has been validated against the pngsuite (http:/www.libpng.orgpubpngpngsuite.html)
- class PngSavable a where
- encodePng :: Image a -> ByteString
- decodePng :: ByteString -> Either String DynamicImage
- writePng :: PngSavable pixel => FilePath -> Image pixel -> IO ()
- encodePalettedPng :: Palette -> Image Pixel8 -> Either String ByteString
- encodeDynamicPng :: DynamicImage -> Either String ByteString
- writeDynamicPng :: FilePath -> DynamicImage -> IO (Either String Bool)
High level functions
class PngSavable a where Source
Encode an image into a png if possible.
Methods
encodePng :: Image a -> ByteString Source
Transform an image into a png encoded bytestring, ready to be written as a file.
decodePng :: ByteString -> Either String DynamicImage Source
Transform a raw png image to an image, without modifying the underlying pixel type. If the image is greyscale and < 8 bits, a transformation to RGBA8 is performed. This should change in the future. The resulting image let you manage the pixel types.
This function can output the following pixel types:
- PixelY8
- PixelY16
- PixelYA8
- PixelYA16
- PixelRGB8
- PixelRGB16
- PixelRGBA8
- PixelRGBA16
writePng :: PngSavable pixel => FilePath -> Image pixel -> IO () Source
Helper function to directly write an image as a png on disk.
encodePalettedPng :: Palette -> Image Pixel8 -> Either String ByteString Source
Encode a paletted image as a color indexed 8-bit PNG. the palette must have between 1 and 256 values in it.
encodeDynamicPng :: DynamicImage -> Either String ByteString Source
Encode a dynamic image in bmp if possible, supported pixel type are :
- Y8
- Y16
- YA8
- YA16
- RGB8
- RGB16
- RGBA8
- RGBA16
writeDynamicPng :: FilePath -> DynamicImage -> IO (Either String Bool) Source
Write a dynamic image in a .png image file if possible. The same restriction as encodeDynamicPng apply.
