wxImage

This class encapsulates a platform-independent image. An image can be created from data, or using wxBitmap::ConvertToImage. An image can be loaded from a file in a variety of formats, and is extensible to new formats via image format handlers. Functions are available to set and get image bits, so it can be used for basic image manipulation.

A wxImage cannot (currently) be drawn directly to a wxDC. Instead, a platform-specific wxBitmap object must be created from it using the wxBitmap::wxBitmap(wxImage,int depth) constructor. This bitmap can then be drawn in a device context, using wxDC::DrawBitmap.

One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will lead to the automatic creation of a wxMask object associated to the bitmap object.

Alpha channel support

Starting from wxWidgets 2.5.0 wxImage supports alpha channel data, that is in addition to a byte for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel it also stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. An alpha value of $0$ corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while a value of $255$ means that the pixel is 100% opaque.

Unlike RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel and before using GetAlpha you should check if this image contains an alpha channel with HasAlpha. Note that currently only images loaded from PNG files with transparency information will have an alpha channel but alpha support will be added to the other formats as well (as well as support for saving images with alpha channel which also isn't implemented).

Available image handlers

The following image handlers are available. wxBMPHandler is always installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate handler with wxImage::AddHandler or wxInitAllImageHandlers.

wxBMPHandler For loading and saving, always installed.
wxPNGHandler For loading (including alpha support) and saving.
wxJPEGHandler For loading and saving.
wxGIFHandler Only for loading, due to legal issues.
wxPCXHandler For loading and saving (see below).
wxPNMHandler For loading and saving (see below).
wxTIFFHandler For loading and saving.
wxIFFHandler For loading only.
wxXPMHandler For loading and saving.
wxICOHandler For loading and saving.
wxCURHandler For loading and saving.
wxANIHandler For loading only.

When saving in PCX format, wxPCXHandler will count the number of different colours in the image; if there are 256 or less colours, it will save as 8 bit, else it will save as 24 bit.

Loading PNMs only works for ASCII or raw RGB images. When saving in PNM format, wxPNMHandler will always save as raw RGB.

wxImage::wxImage



wxImage(void)

Default constructor.



wxImage(const wxImage& image)

Copy constructor.



wxImage(const wxBitmap& bitmap)

(Deprecated form, use wxBitmap::ConvertToImage instead.) Constructs an image from a platform-dependent bitmap. This preserves mask information so that bitmaps and images can be converted back and forth without loss in that respect.



wxImage(int width, int height, bool clear=true)

Creates an image with the given width and height. If clear is true, the new image will be initialized to black. Otherwise, the image data will be uninitialized.



wxImage(int width, int height, unsigned char* data, bool static_data = FALSE)

Creates an image from given data with the given width and height. If static_data is true, then wxImage will not delete the actual image data in its destructor, otherwise it will free it by calling free().



wxImage(const wxString& name, long type = wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY, int index = -1)



wxImage(const wxString& name, const wxString& mimetype, int index = -1)

Loads an image from a file.



wxImage(wxInputStream& stream, long type = wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY, int index = -1)



wxImage(wxInputStream& stream, const wxString& mimetype, int index = -1)

Loads an image from an input stream.



wxImage(const char** xpmData)

Creates an image from XPM data.

Parameters

width
Specifies the width of the image.

height
Specifies the height of the image.

name
Name of the file from which to load the image.

stream
Opened input stream from which to load the image. Currently, the stream must support seeking.

type
May be one of the following:

wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP Load a Windows bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF Load a GIF bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_JPEG Load a JPEG bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG Load a PNG bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_PCX Load a PCX bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNM Load a PNM bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_TIF Load a TIFF bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM Load a XPM bitmap file.
wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO Load a Windows icon file (ICO).
wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR Load a Windows cursor file (CUR).
wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI Load a Windows animated cursor file (ANI).
wxBITMAP_TYPE_ANY Will try to autodetect the format.

mimetype
MIME type string (for example 'image/jpeg')

index
Index of the image to load in the case that the image file contains multiple images. This is only used by GIF, ICO and TIFF handlers. The default value (-1) means "choose the default image" and is interpreted as the first image (index=0) by the GIF and TIFF handler and as the largest and most colourful one by the ICO handler.

xpmData
A pointer to XPM image data.

Remarks

Depending on how wxWidgets has been configured, not all formats may be available.

Note: any handler other than BMP must be previously initialized with wxImage::AddHandler or wxInitAllImageHandlers.

Note: you can use GetOptionInt to get the hotspot for loaded cursor file:

    int hotspot_x = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X);
    int hotspot_y = image.GetOptionInt(wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y);

Return value

Returns number of colours in the histogram.



wxImage::ConvertAlphaToMask



bool ConvertAlphaToMask(unsigned char threshold = $128$)

If the image has alpha channel, this method converts it to mask. All pixels with alpha value less than threshold are replaced with mask colour and the alpha channel is removed. Mask colour is chosen automatically using FindFirstUnusedColour.

If the image image doesn't have alpha channel, ConvertAlphaToMask does nothing.

Return value

FALSEif FindFirstUnusedColour returns FALSE, TRUEotherwise.



wxImage::ConvertToBitmap

wxBitmap ConvertToBitmap(void) const

Deprecated, use equivalent wxBitmap constructor (which takes wxImage and depth as its arguments) instead.



wxImage::ConvertToMono

wxImage ConvertToMono(unsigned char r, unsigned char g, unsigned char b) const

Returns monochromatic version of the image. The returned image has white colour where the original has (r,g,b) colour and black colour everywhere else.



wxImage::Copy

wxImage Copy(void) const

Returns an identical copy of the image.



wxImage::Create



bool Create(int width, int height, bool clear=true)

Creates a fresh image. If clear is true, the new image will be initialized to black. Otherwise, the image data will be uninitialized.

width
The width of the image in pixels.

height
The height of the image in pixels.

Return value

true if the call succeeded, false otherwise.



wxImage::Destroy



void Destroy(void)

Destroys the image data.

Parameters

r,g,b
Pointers to variables to save the colour.

startR,startG,startB
Initial values of the colour. Returned colour will have RGB values equal to or greater than these.

Finds the first colour that is never used in the image. The search begins at given initial colour and continues by increasing R, G and B components (in this order) by 1 until an unused colour is found or the colour space exhausted.

Return value

Returns false if there is no unused colour left, true on success.

Notes

Note that this method involves computing the histogram, which is computationally intensive operation.

wxImageHandler



wxImage::GetAlpha

unsigned char GetAlpha(int x, int y) const

Returns the alpha value for the given pixel. This function may only be called for the images with alpha channel, use HasAlpha to check for this.

Returns the (modified) image itself.

See also

Size



wxImage::Rotate



wxImage Rotate(double angle, const wxPoint& rotationCentre, bool interpolating = true, wxPoint* offsetAfterRotation = NULL)

Rotates the image about the given point, by angle radians. Passing true to interpolating results in better image quality, but is slower. If the image has a mask, then the mask colour is used for the uncovered pixels in the rotated image background. Else, black (rgb 0, 0, 0) will be used.

SaveFile(filename, type) Saves the image using the given type to the named file
SaveMimeFile(filename, mimetype) Saves the image using the given mimetype to the named file

wxPerl での注意点: Methods supported by wxPerl are:



wxImage::Scale

wxImage Scale(int width, int height) const

Returns a scaled version of the image. This is also useful for scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way to scale bitmaps is to blit a wxMemoryDC into another wxMemoryDC.

It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally to scale bitmaps when using mapping modes in wxDC.

Example:

    // get the bitmap from somewhere
    wxBitmap bmp = ...;

    // rescale it to have size of 32*32
    if ( bmp.GetWidth() != 32 || bmp.GetHeight() != 32 )
    {
        wxImage image = bmp.ConvertToImage();
        bmp = wxBitmap(image.Scale(32, 32));

        // another possibility:
        image.Rescale(32, 32);
        bmp = image;
    }

See also

Rescale



wxImage::Size

wxImage Size(const wxSize& size, const wxPoint& pos, int red = -1, int green = -1, int blue = -1) const

Returns a resized version of this image without scaling it by adding either a border with the given colour or cropping as necessary. The image is pasted into a new image with the given size and background colour at the position pos relative to the upper left of the new image. If red = green = blue = -1 then use either the current mask colour if set or find, use, and set a suitable mask colour for any newly exposed areas.

See also

Resize



wxImage::SetAlpha



void SetAlpha(unsigned char * alpha = NULL,bool static_data = FALSE)

This function is similar to SetData and has similar restrictions. The pointer passed to it may however be NULL in which case the function will allocate the alpha array internally - this is useful to add alpha channel data to an image which doesn't have any. If the pointer is not NULL, it must have one byte for each image pixel and be allocated with malloc(). wxImage takes ownership of the pointer and will free it unless static_data parameter is set.to TRUE- in this case the caller should do it.



void SetAlpha(int x, int y, unsigned char alpha)

Sets the alpha value for the given pixel. This function should only be called if the image has alpha channel data, use HasAlpha to check for this.



wxImage::SetData



void SetData(unsigned char* data)

Sets the image data without performing checks. The data given must have the size (width*height*3) or results will be unexpected. Don't use this method if you aren't sure you know what you are doing.

The data must have been allocated with malloc(), NOT with operator new.

After this call the pointer to the data is owned by the wxImage object, that will be responsible for deleting it. Do not pass to this function a pointer obtained through wxImage::GetData.



wxImage::SetMask



void SetMask(bool hasMask = true)

Specifies whether there is a mask or not. The area of the mask is determined by the current mask colour.



wxImage::SetMaskColour



void SetMaskColour(unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue)

Sets the mask colour for this image (and tells the image to use the mask).



wxImage::SetMaskFromImage



bool SetMaskFromImage(const wxImage& mask, unsigned char mr, unsigned char mg, unsigned char mb)

Parameters

mask
The mask image to extract mask shape from. Must have same dimensions as the image.

mr,mg,mb
RGB value of pixels in mask that will be used to create the mask.

Sets image's mask so that the pixels that have RGB value of mr,mg,mb in mask will be masked in the image. This is done by first finding an unused colour in the image, setting this colour as the mask colour and then using this colour to draw all pixels in the image who corresponding pixel in mask has given RGB value.

Return value

Returns false if mask does not have same dimensions as the image or if there is no unused colour left. Returns true if the mask was successfully applied.

Notes

Note that this method involves computing the histogram, which is computationally intensive operation.



wxImage::SetOption



void SetOption(const wxString& name, const wxString& value)



void SetOption(const wxString& name, int value)

Sets a user-defined option. The function is case-insensitive to name.

For example, when saving as a JPEG file, the option quality is used, which is a number between 0 and 100 (0 is terrible, 100 is very good).

See also

wxImage::GetOption, wxImage::GetOptionInt, wxImage::HasOption



wxImage::SetPalette



void SetPalette(const wxPalette& palette)

Associates a palette with the image. The palette may be used when converting wxImage to wxBitmap (MSW only at present) or in file save operations (none as yet).



wxImage::SetRGB



void SetRGB(int x, int y, unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue)

Sets the pixel at the given coordinate. This routine performs bounds-checks for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the data, but in some cases this might be too slow so that the data will have to be set directly. In that case you will have to get access to the image data using the GetData method.



wxImage::SetRGB



void SetRGB(wxRect & rect, unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue)

Sets the colour of the pixels within the given rectangle. This routine performs bounds-checks for the coordinate so it can be considered a safe way to manipulate the data.



wxImage::operator $=$



wxImage& operator $=$(const wxImage& image)

Assignment operator. This operator does not copy any data, but instead passes a pointer to the data in image and increments a reference counter. It is a fast operation.

Parameters

image
