Detailed Description

Argument object for the function importImage().

See importImage() for a usage example. This object must be used to read an image from disk and enquire about its properties.

#include <vigra/imageinfo.hxx>
Namespace: vigra

Examples:

boundarytensor.cxx, convert.cxx, edge.cxx, invert.cxx, invert_explicitly.cxx, profile.cxx, pyramid.cxx, resize.cxx, smooth.cxx, subimage.cxx, and watershed.cxx.


Member Typedef Documentation

typedef ArrayVector<unsigned char> ICCProfile

ICC profiles (handled as raw data so far). see getICCProfile()/setICCProfile()


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ImageImportInfo ( const char *  )

Construct ImageImportInfo object.

The image with the given filename is read into memory. The file type will be determined by the first few bytes of the file (magic number). Recognized file types:

"BMP"
Microsoft Windows bitmap image file.
"JPEG"
Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (only available if libjpeg is installed).
"GIF"
CompuServe graphics interchange format; 8-bit color.
"PNG"
Portable Network Graphics (only available if libpng is installed).
"PBM"
Portable bitmap format (black and white).
"PGM"
Portable graymap format (gray scale).
"PNM"
Portable anymap.
"PPM"
Portable pixmap format (color).
"SUN"
SUN Rasterfile.
"TIFF"
Tagged Image File Format. (only available if libtiff is installed.)
"VIFF"
Khoros Visualization image file.

Member Function Documentation

const char* getFileType ( ) const

Get the file type of the image associated with this info object.

See ImageImportInfo::ImageImportInfo for a list of the available file types.

Examples:
invert.cxx.
int width ( ) const
int height ( ) const
int numBands ( ) const

Get the total number of bands in the image.

int numExtraBands ( ) const

Get the number of extra (non color) bands in the image. Usually these are the alpha channels.

Size2D size ( ) const

Get size of the image.

MultiArrayShape<2>::type shape ( ) const

Get size of the image in a form compatible to MultiArray.

bool isGrayscale ( ) const

Returns true if the image is gray scale.

Examples:
boundarytensor.cxx, convert.cxx, edge.cxx, invert.cxx, invert_explicitly.cxx, profile.cxx, resize.cxx, smooth.cxx, and subimage.cxx.
bool isColor ( ) const

Returns true if the image is colored (RGB).

Examples:
boundarytensor.cxx.
const char* getPixelType ( ) const

Query the pixel type of the image.

Possible values are:

"UINT8"
8-bit unsigned integer (unsigned char)
"INT16"
16-bit signed integer (short)
"UINT16"
16-bit unsigned integer (unsigned short)
"INT32"
32-bit signed integer (long)
"UINT32"
32-bit unsigned integer (unsigned long)
"FLOAT"
32-bit floating point (float)
"DOUBLE"
64-bit floating point (double)
PixelType pixelType ( ) const

Query the pixel type of the image.

Same as getPixelType(), but the result is returned as a ImageImportInfo::PixelType enum. This is useful to implement a switch() on the pixel type.

Possible values are:

UINT8
8-bit unsigned integer (unsigned char)
INT16
16-bit signed integer (short)
UINT16
16-bit unsigned integer (unsigned short)
INT32
32-bit signed integer (long)
UINT32
32-bit unsigned integer (unsigned long)
FLOAT
32-bit floating point (float)
DOUBLE
64-bit floating point (double)
bool isByte ( ) const

Returns true if the image has 1 byte per pixel (gray) or 3 bytes per pixel (RGB).

Diff2D getPosition ( ) const

Returns the layer offset of the current image, if there is one

float getXResolution ( ) const

Returns the image resolution in horizontal direction

float getYResolution ( ) const

Returns the image resolution in vertical direction

const ICCProfile& getICCProfile ( ) const

Returns a reference to the ICC profile.

Note: The reference will become invalid when the ImageImportInfo object has been destroyed.
