   850 .SH I. Introduction
       
   851 
       
   852 This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library
       
   853 (known as libpng) for your own use.  There are five sections to this
       
   854 file: introduction, structures, reading, writing, and modification and
       
   855 configuration notes for various special platforms.  In addition to this
       
   856 file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as
       
   857 it is heavily commented and should include everything most people
       
   858 will need.  We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
       
   859 INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng.
       
   860 
       
   861 For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c",
       
   862 and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in the
       
   863 libpng distribution.
       
   864 
       
   865 Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
       
   866 of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
       
   867 file format in application programs.
       
   868 
       
   869 The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as
       
   870 a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2003 (E)) at
       
   871 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/
       
   872 The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.
       
   873 
       
   874 The PNG-1.2 specification is available at
       
   875 <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>.  It is technically equivalent
       
   876 to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material.
       
   877 
       
   878 The PNG-1.0 specification is available
       
   879 as RFC 2083 <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/> and as a
       
   880 W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.html>.
       
   881 
       
   882 Some additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks
       
   883 documents at <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>.
       
   884 
       
   885 Other information
       
   886 about PNG, and the latest version of libpng, can be found at the PNG home
       
   887 page, <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>.
       
   888 
       
   889 Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
       
   890 users may want to modify it more.  All attempts were made to make it as
       
   891 complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand.
       
   892 Currently, this library only supports C.  Support for other languages
       
   893 is being considered.
       
   894 
       
   895 Libpng has been designed to handle multiple sessions at one time,
       
   896 to be easily modifiable, to be portable to the vast majority of
       
   897 machines (ANSI, K&R, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) available, and to be easy
       
   898 to use.  The ultimate goal of libpng is to promote the acceptance of
       
   899 the PNG file format in whatever way possible.  While there is still
       
   900 work to be done (see the TODO file), libpng should cover the
       
   901 majority of the needs of its users.
       
   902 
       
   903 Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
       
   904 Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
       
   905 be found at the zlib home page, <http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/>.
       
   906 The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
       
   907 useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
       
   908 See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
       
   909 You can usually find the source files for the zlib utility wherever you
       
   910 find the libpng source files.
       
   911 
       
   912 Libpng is thread safe, provided the threads are using different
       
   913 instances of the structures.  Each thread should have its own
       
   914 png_struct and png_info instances, and thus its own image.
       
   915 Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
       
   916 same instance of a structure.
       
   917 
       
   918 .SH II. Structures
       
   919 
       
   920 There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
       
   921 and png_info.  The first, png_struct, is an internal structure that
       
   922 will not, for the most part, be used by a user except as the first
       
   923 variable passed to every libpng function call.
       
   924 
       
   925 The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the
       
   926 PNG file.  At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
       
   927 directly accessible to the user.  However, this tended to cause problems
       
   928 with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
       
   929 a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
       
   930 functions) was developed.  The fields of png_info are still available for
       
   931 older applications, but it is suggested that applications use the new
       
   932 interfaces if at all possible.
       
   933 
       
   934 Applications that do make direct access to the members of png_struct (except
       
   935 for png_ptr->jmpbuf) must be recompiled whenever the library is updated,
       
   936 and applications that make direct access to the members of png_info must
       
   937 be recompiled if they were compiled or loaded with libpng version 1.0.6,
       
   938 in which the members were in a different order.  In version 1.0.7, the
       
   939 members of the png_info structure reverted to the old order, as they were
       
   940 in versions 0.97c through 1.0.5.  Starting with version 2.0.0, both
       
   941 structures are going to be hidden, and the contents of the structures will
       
   942 only be accessible through the png_get/png_set functions.
       
   943 
       
   944 The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
       
   945 And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
       
   946 
       
   947 #include <png.h>
       
   948 
       
   949 .SH III. Reading
       
   950 
       
   951 We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
       
   952 in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
       
   953 of each one.  See example.c and png.h for more detail.  While
       
   954 progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
       
   955 need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
       
   956 file.
       
   957 
       
   958 .SS Setup
       
   959 
       
   960 You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
       
   961 so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo.  Of course, you
       
   962 will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
       
   963 file.  Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
       
   964 To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
       
   965 png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 if the bytes match the corresponding
       
   966 bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero otherwise.  Of course, the more bytes
       
   967 you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the prediction.
       
   968 
       
   969 If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
       
   970 you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
       
   971 of the file, and you also have to make a call to png_set_sig_bytes_read()
       
   972 with the number of bytes you read from the beginning.  Libpng will
       
   973 then only check the bytes (if any) that your program didn't read.
       
   974 
       
   975 (*): If you are not using the standard I/O functions, you will need
       
   976 to replace them with custom functions.  See the discussion under
       
   977 Customizing libpng.
       
   978 
       
   979 
       
   980     FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb");
       
   981     if (!fp)
       
   982     {
       
   983         return (ERROR);
       
   984     }
       
   985     fread(header, 1, number, fp);
       
   986     is_png = !png_sig_cmp(header, 0, number);
       
   987     if (!is_png)
       
   988     {
       
   989         return (NOT_PNG);
       
   990     }
       
   991 
       
   992 
       
   993 Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.  In
       
   994 order to ensure that the size of these structures is correct even with a
       
   995 dynamically linked libpng, there are functions to initialize and
       
   996 allocate the structures.  We also pass the library version, optional
       
   997 pointers to error handling functions, and a pointer to a data struct for
       
   998 use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
       
   999 be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used).  See the section
       
  1000 on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
       
  1001 The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
       
  1002 create the structure, so your application should check for that.
       
  1003 
       
  1004     png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct
       
  1005        (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
       
  1006         user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
       
  1007     if (!png_ptr)
       
  1008         return (ERROR);
       
  1009 
       
  1010     png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
       
  1011     if (!info_ptr)
       
  1012     {
       
  1013         png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr,
       
  1014            (png_infopp)NULL, (png_infopp)NULL);
       
  1015         return (ERROR);
       
  1016     }
       
  1017 
       
  1018     png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
       
  1019     if (!end_info)
       
  1020     {
       
  1021         png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
       
  1022           (png_infopp)NULL);
       
  1023         return (ERROR);
       
  1024     }
       
  1025 
       
  1026 If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
       
  1027 define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
       
  1028 png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
       
  1029 
       
  1030     png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
       
  1031        (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
       
  1032         user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
       
  1033         user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
       
  1034 
       
  1035 The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
       
  1036 and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
       
  1037 are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
       
  1038 handling and memory alloc/free functions.
       
  1039 
       
  1040 When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
       
  1041 to your routine.  Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
       
  1042 your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr).  If you read the file from different
       
  1043 routines, you will need to update the jmpbuf field every time you enter
       
  1044 a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
       
  1045 
       
  1046 See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
       
  1047 information on setjmp/longjmp.  See the discussion on libpng error
       
  1048 handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
       
  1049 on the libpng error handling.  If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
       
  1050 back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
       
  1051 free any memory.
       
  1052 
       
  1053     if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
       
  1054     {
       
  1055         png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
       
  1056            &end_info);
       
  1057         fclose(fp);
       
  1058         return (ERROR);
       
  1059     }
       
  1060 
       
  1061 If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
       
  1062 you can compile libpng with PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case
       
  1063 errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
       
  1064 
       
  1065 Now you need to set up the input code.  The default for libpng is to
       
  1066 use the C function fread().  If you use this, you will need to pass a
       
  1067 valid FILE * in the function png_init_io().  Be sure that the file is
       
  1068 opened in binary mode.  If you wish to handle reading data in another
       
  1069 way, you need not call the png_init_io() function, but you must then
       
  1070 implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng
       
  1071 section below.
       
  1072 
       
  1073     png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
       
  1074 
       
  1075 If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
       
  1076 the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
       
  1077 libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
       
  1078 
       
  1079     png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
       
  1080 
       
  1081 .SS Setting up callback code
       
  1082 
       
  1083 You can set up a callback function to handle any unknown chunks in the
       
  1084 input stream. You must supply the function
       
  1085 
       
  1086     read_chunk_callback(png_ptr ptr,
       
  1087          png_unknown_chunkp chunk);
       
  1088     {
       
  1089        /* The unknown chunk structure contains your
       
  1090           chunk data, along with similar data for any other
       
  1091           unknown chunks: */
       
  1092 
       
  1093            png_byte name[5];
       
  1094            png_byte *data;
       
  1095            png_size_t size;
       
  1096 
       
  1097        /* Note that libpng has already taken care of
       
  1098           the CRC handling */
       
  1099 
       
  1100        /* put your code here.  Search for your chunk in the
       
  1101           unknown chunk structure, process it, and return one
       
  1102           of the following: */
       
  1103 
       
  1104        return (-n); /* chunk had an error */
       
  1105        return (0); /* did not recognize */
       
  1106        return (n); /* success */
       
  1107     }
       
  1108 
       
  1109 (You can give your function another name that you like instead of
       
  1110 "read_chunk_callback")
       
  1111 
       
  1112 To inform libpng about your function, use
       
  1113 
       
  1114     png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
       
  1115         read_chunk_callback);
       
  1116 
       
  1117 This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
       
  1118 you can retrieve with
       
  1119 
       
  1120     png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
       
  1121 
       
  1122 If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
       
  1123 chunks will be saved when read, in case your callback function will need
       
  1124 one or more of them.  This behavior can be changed with the
       
  1125 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below.
       
  1126 
       
  1127 At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
       
  1128 called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
       
  1129 a progress meter or the like.  It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
       
  1130 You must supply a function
       
  1131 
       
  1132     void read_row_callback(png_ptr ptr, png_uint_32 row,
       
  1133        int pass);
       
  1134     {
       
  1135       /* put your code here */
       
  1136     }
       
  1137 
       
  1138 (You can give it another name that you like instead of "read_row_callback")
       
  1139 
       
  1140 To inform libpng about your function, use
       
  1141 
       
  1142     png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback);
       
  1143 
       
  1144 .SS Width and height limits
       
  1145 
       
  1146 The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
       
  1147 large as 2^31-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
       
  1148 Since very few applications really need to process such large images,
       
  1149 we have imposed an arbitrary 1-million limit on rows and columns.
       
  1150 Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
       
  1151 you wish to override this limit, you can use
       
  1152 
       
  1153    png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
       
  1154 
       
  1155 to set your own limits, or use width_max = height_max = 0x7fffffffL
       
  1156 to allow all valid dimensions (libpng may reject some very large images
       
  1157 anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
       
  1158 
       
  1159 You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
       
  1160 before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
       
  1161 If you need to retrieve the limits that are being applied, use
       
  1162 
       
  1163    width_max = png_get_user_width_max(png_ptr);
       
  1164    height_max = png_get_user_height_max(png_ptr);
       
  1165 
       
  1166 .SS Unknown-chunk handling
       
  1167 
       
  1168 Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
       
  1169 input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read.  Normal
       
  1170 behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
       
  1171 various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. To change
       
  1172 this, you can call:
       
  1173 
       
  1174     png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,
       
  1175         chunk_list, num_chunks);
       
  1176     keep       - 0: default unknown chunk handling
       
  1177                  1: ignore; do not keep
       
  1178                  2: keep only if safe-to-copy
       
  1179                  3: keep even if unsafe-to-copy
       
  1180                You can use these definitions:
       
  1181                  PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT   0
       
  1182                  PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER        1
       
  1183                  PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE      2
       
  1184                  PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS       3
       
  1185     chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
       
  1186                  five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
       
  1187                  num_chunks is 0)
       
  1188     num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
       
  1189                  unknown chunks are affected.  If nonzero,
       
  1190                  only the chunks in the list are affected
       
  1191 
       
  1192 Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
       
  1193 list of png_unknown_chunk structures.  If a chunk that is normally
       
  1194 known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
       
  1195 according to the "keep" directive.  If a chunk is named in successive
       
  1196 instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
       
  1197 take precedence.  The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
       
  1198 chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
       
  1199 
       
  1200 Here is an example of the usage of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(),
       
  1201 where the private "vpAg" chunk will later be processed by a user chunk
       
  1202 callback function:
       
  1203 
       
  1204     png_byte vpAg[5]={118, 112,  65, 103, (png_byte) '\0'};

  1231 .SS The high-level read interface
       
  1232 
       
  1233 At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
       
  1234 read interface, or through a sequence of low-level read operations.
       
  1235 You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read
       
  1236 the entire image into memory, and (b) the input transformations
       
  1237 you want to do are limited to the following set:
       
  1238 
       
  1239     PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY      No transformation
       
  1240     PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_16      Strip 16-bit samples to
       
  1241                                 8 bits
       
  1242     PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_ALPHA   Discard the alpha channel
       
  1243     PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING       Expand 1, 2 and 4-bit
       
  1244                                 samples to bytes
       
  1245     PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP      Change order of packed
       
  1246                                 pixels to LSB first
       
  1247     PNG_TRANSFORM_EXPAND        Perform set_expand()
       
  1248     PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO   Invert monochrome images
       
  1249     PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT         Normalize pixels to the
       
  1250                                 sBIT depth
       
  1251     PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR           Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
       
  1252                                 to BGRA
       
  1253     PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA    Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
       
  1254                                 to AG
       
  1255     PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA  Change alpha from opacity
       
  1256                                 to transparency
       
  1257     PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN   Byte-swap 16-bit samples
       
  1258 
       
  1259 (This excludes setting a background color, doing gamma transformation,
       
  1260 dithering, and setting filler.)  If this is the case, simply do this:
       
  1261 
       
  1262     png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
       
  1263 
       
  1264 where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of
       
  1265 some set of transformation flags.  This call is equivalent to png_read_info(),
       
  1266 followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
       
  1267 then png_read_image(), and finally png_read_end().
       
  1268 
       
  1269 (The final parameter of this call is not yet used.  Someday it might point
       
  1270 to transformation parameters required by some future input transform.)
       
  1271 
       
  1272 You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
       
  1273 when you use png_read_png().
       
  1274 
       
  1275 After you have called png_read_png(), you can retrieve the image data
       
  1276 with
       
  1277 
       
  1278    row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  1279 
       
  1280 where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
       
  1281 
       
  1282    png_bytep row_pointers[height];
       
  1283 
       
  1284 If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
       
  1285 row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
       
  1286 
       
  1287    if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/png_sizeof(png_byte))
       
  1288       png_error (png_ptr,
       
  1289          "Image is too tall to process in memory");
       
  1290    if (width > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/pixel_size)
       
  1291       png_error (png_ptr,
       
  1292          "Image is too wide to process in memory");
       
  1293    row_pointers = png_malloc(png_ptr,
       
  1294       height*png_sizeof(png_bytep));
       
  1295    for (int i=0; i<height, i++)
       
  1296       row_pointers[i]=png_malloc(png_ptr,
       
  1297          width*pixel_size);
       
  1298    png_set_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr, &row_pointers);
       
  1299 
       
  1300 Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
       
  1301 row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block.
       
  1302 
       
  1303 If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
       
  1304 row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
       
  1305 
       
  1306 If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
       
  1307 do it, and it'll be free'ed when you call png_destroy_*().
       
  1308 
       
  1309 .SS The low-level read interface
       
  1310 
       
  1311 If you are going the low-level route, you are now ready to read all

  1540     num_unknown_chunks = png_get_unknown_chunks(png_ptr,
       
  1541        info_ptr, &unknowns)
       
  1542     unknowns          - array of png_unknown_chunk
       
  1543                         structures holding unknown chunks
       
  1544     unknowns[i].name  - name of unknown chunk

  1547     unknowns[i].location - position of chunk in file
       
  1548 
       
  1549     The value of "i" corresponds to the order in which the
       
  1550     chunks were read from the PNG file or inserted with the
       
  1551     png_set_unknown_chunks() function.
       
  1552 
       
  1553 The data from the pHYs chunk can be retrieved in several convenient
       
  1554 forms:
       
  1555 
       
  1556     res_x = png_get_x_pixels_per_meter(png_ptr,
       
  1557        info_ptr)
       
  1558     res_y = png_get_y_pixels_per_meter(png_ptr,
       
  1559        info_ptr)
       
  1560     res_x_and_y = png_get_pixels_per_meter(png_ptr,
       
  1561        info_ptr)
       
  1562     res_x = png_get_x_pixels_per_inch(png_ptr,
       
  1563        info_ptr)
       
  1564     res_y = png_get_y_pixels_per_inch(png_ptr,
       
  1565        info_ptr)
       
  1566     res_x_and_y = png_get_pixels_per_inch(png_ptr,
       
  1567        info_ptr)
       
  1568     aspect_ratio = png_get_pixel_aspect_ratio(png_ptr,
       
  1569        info_ptr)
       
  1570 
       
  1571    (Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown"] if
       
  1572        the data is not present or if res_x is 0;
       
  1573        res_x_and_y is 0 if res_x != res_y)
       
  1574 
       
  1575 The data from the oFFs chunk can be retrieved in several convenient
       
  1576 forms:
       
  1577 
       
  1578     x_offset = png_get_x_offset_microns(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  1579     y_offset = png_get_y_offset_microns(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  1580     x_offset = png_get_x_offset_inches(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  1581     y_offset = png_get_y_offset_inches(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  1582 
       
  1583    (Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown" if both
       
  1584        x and y are 0] if the data is not present or if the
       
  1585        chunk is present but the unit is the pixel)
       
  1586 
       
  1587 For more information, see the png_info definition in png.h and the
       
  1588 PNG specification for chunk contents.  Be careful with trusting
       
  1589 rowbytes, as some of the transformations could increase the space
       
  1590 needed to hold a row (expand, filler, gray_to_rgb, etc.).
       
  1591 See png_read_update_info(), below.
       
  1592 
       
  1593 A quick word about text_ptr and num_text.  PNG stores comments in
       
  1594 keyword/text pairs, one pair per chunk, with no limit on the number
       
  1595 of text chunks, and a 2^31 byte limit on their size.  While there are
       
  1596 suggested keywords, there is no requirement to restrict the use to these
       
  1597 strings.  It is strongly suggested that keywords and text be sensible
       
  1598 to humans (that's the point), so don't use abbreviations.  Non-printing
       
  1599 symbols are not allowed.  See the PNG specification for more details.
       
  1600 There is also no requirement to have text after the keyword.
       
  1601 
       
  1602 Keywords should be limited to 79 Latin-1 characters without leading or
       
  1603 trailing spaces, but non-consecutive spaces are allowed within the
       
  1604 keyword.  It is possible to have the same keyword any number of times.
       
  1605 The text_ptr is an array of png_text structures, each holding a
       
  1606 pointer to a language string, a pointer to a keyword and a pointer to
       
  1607 a text string.  The text string, language code, and translated
       
  1608 keyword may be empty or NULL pointers.  The keyword/text
       
  1609 pairs are put into the array in the order that they are received.
       
  1610 However, some or all of the text chunks may be after the image, so, to
       
  1611 make sure you have read all the text chunks, don't mess with these
       
  1612 until after you read the stuff after the image.  This will be
       
  1613 mentioned again below in the discussion that goes with png_read_end().
       
  1614 
       
  1615 .SS Input transformations
       
  1616 
       
  1617 After you've read the header information, you can set up the library
       
  1618 to handle any special transformations of the image data.  The various
       
  1619 ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
       
  1620 should occur.  This is important, as some of these change the color
       
  1621 type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
       
  1622 certain color types and bit depths.  Even though each transformation
       
  1623 checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
       
  1624 make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
       
  1625 data.  For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
       
  1626 
       
  1627 The colors used for the background and transparency values should be
       
  1628 supplied in the same format/depth as the current image data.  They
       
  1629 are stored in the same format/depth as the image data in a bKGD or tRNS
       
  1630 chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data.  The colors are
       
  1631 transformed to keep in sync with the image data when an application
       
  1632 calls the png_read_update_info() routine (see below).
       
  1633 
       
  1634 Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes
       
  1635 unless the library has been told to transform it into another format.
       
  1636 For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned
       
  1637 2 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the
       
  1638 byte, unless png_set_packing() is called.  8-bit RGB data will be stored
       
  1639 in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha()
       
  1640 is called to insert filler bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet.
       
  1641 16-bit RGB data will be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant
       
  1642 byte of the color value first, unless png_set_strip_16() is called to
       
  1643 transform it to regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() or
       
  1644 png_set_add alpha() is called to insert filler bytes, either before or
       
  1645 after each RRGGBB triplet.  Similarly, 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can
       
  1646 be modified with
       
  1647 png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), or png_set_strip_16().
       
  1648 
       
  1649 The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits,
       
  1650 changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is
       
  1651 transparency information in a tRNS chunk.  This is most useful on
       
  1652 grayscale images with bit depths of 2 or 4 or if there is a multiple-image
       
  1653 viewing application that wishes to treat all images in the same way.
       
  1654 
       
  1655     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_PALETTE)
       
  1656         png_set_palette_to_rgb(png_ptr);
       
  1657 
       
  1658     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY &&
       
  1659         bit_depth < 8) png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8(png_ptr);
       
  1660 
       
  1661     if (png_get_valid(png_ptr, info_ptr,
       
  1662         PNG_INFO_tRNS)) png_set_tRNS_to_alpha(png_ptr);
       
  1663 
       
  1664 These three functions are actually aliases for png_set_expand(), added
       
  1665 in libpng version 1.0.4, with the function names expanded to improve code
       
  1666 readability.  In some future version they may actually do different
       
  1667 things.
       
  1668 
       
  1669 As of libpng version 1.2.9, png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was
       
  1670 added.  It expands the sample depth without changing tRNS to alpha.
       
  1671 At the same time, png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was deprecated, and it
       
  1672 will be removed from a future version.
       
  1673 
       
  1674 
       
  1675 PNG can have files with 16 bits per channel.  If you only can handle
       
  1676 8 bits per channel, this will strip the pixels down to 8 bit.
       
  1677 
       
  1678     if (bit_depth == 16)
       
  1679         png_set_strip_16(png_ptr);
       
  1680 
       
  1681 If, for some reason, you don't need the alpha channel on an image,
       
  1682 and you want to remove it rather than combining it with the background
       
  1683 (but the image author certainly had in mind that you *would* combine
       
  1684 it with the background, so that's what you should probably do):
       
  1685 
       
  1686     if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
       
  1687         png_set_strip_alpha(png_ptr);
       
  1688 
       
  1689 In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image
       
  1690 is the level of opacity.  If you need the alpha channel in an image to
       
  1691 be the level of transparency instead of opacity, you can invert the
       
  1692 alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk data) after it's read, so that 0 is
       
  1693 fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit
       
  1694 images) is fully transparent, with
       
  1695 
       
  1696     png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
       
  1697 
       
  1698 PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
       
  1699 they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit
       
  1700 files.  This code expands to 1 pixel per byte without changing the
       
  1701 values of the pixels:
       
  1702 
       
  1703     if (bit_depth < 8)
       
  1704         png_set_packing(png_ptr);
       
  1705 
       
  1706 PNG files have possible bit depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.  All pixels
       
  1707 stored in a PNG image have been "scaled" or "shifted" up to the next
       
  1708 higher possible bit depth (e.g. from 5 bits/sample in the range [0,31] to
       
  1709 8 bits/sample in the range [0, 255]).  However, it is also possible to
       
  1710 convert the PNG pixel data back to the original bit depth of the image.
       
  1711 This call reduces the pixels back down to the original bit depth:
       
  1712 
       
  1713     png_color_8p sig_bit;
       
  1714 
       
  1715     if (png_get_sBIT(png_ptr, info_ptr, &sig_bit))
       
  1716         png_set_shift(png_ptr, sig_bit);
       
  1717 
       
  1718 PNG files store 3-color pixels in red, green, blue order.  This code
       
  1719 changes the storage of the pixels to blue, green, red:
       
  1720 
       
  1721     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
       
  1722         color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
       
  1723         png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
       
  1724 
       
  1725 PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code expands them
       
  1726 into 4 or 8 bytes for windowing systems that need them in this format:
       
  1727 
       
  1728     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB)
       
  1729         png_set_filler(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
       
  1730 
       
  1731 where "filler" is the 8 or 16-bit number to fill with, and the location is
       
  1732 either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether
       
  1733 you want the filler before the RGB or after.  This transformation
       
  1734 does not affect images that already have full alpha channels.  To add an
       
  1735 opaque alpha channel, use filler=0xff or 0xffff and PNG_FILLER_AFTER which
       
  1736 will generate RGBA pixels.
       
  1737 
       
  1738 Note that png_set_filler() does not change the color type.  If you want
       
  1739 to do that, you can add a true alpha channel with
       
  1740 
       
  1741     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
       
  1742            color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
       
  1743     png_set_add_alpha(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_AFTER);
       
  1744 
       
  1745 where "filler" contains the alpha value to assign to each pixel.
       
  1746 This function was added in libpng-1.2.7.
       
  1747 
       
  1748 If you are reading an image with an alpha channel, and you need the
       
  1749 data as ARGB instead of the normal PNG format RGBA:
       
  1750 
       
  1751     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
       
  1752         png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
       
  1753 
       
  1754 For some uses, you may want a grayscale image to be represented as
       
  1755 RGB.  This code will do that conversion:
       
  1756 
       
  1757     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
       
  1758         color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
       
  1759           png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
       
  1760 
       
  1761 Conversely, you can convert an RGB or RGBA image to grayscale or grayscale
       
  1762 with alpha.
       
  1763 
       
  1764     if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
       
  1765         color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
       
  1766           png_set_rgb_to_gray_fixed(png_ptr, error_action,
       
  1767              int red_weight, int green_weight);
       
  1768 
       
  1769     error_action = 1: silently do the conversion
       
  1770     error_action = 2: issue a warning if the original
       
  1771                       image has any pixel where
       
  1772                       red != green or red != blue
       
  1773     error_action = 3: issue an error and abort the
       
  1774                       conversion if the original
       
  1775                       image has any pixel where
       
  1776                       red != green or red != blue
       
  1777 
       
  1778     red_weight:       weight of red component times 100000
       
  1779     green_weight:     weight of green component times 100000
       
  1780                       If either weight is negative, default
       
  1781                       weights (21268, 71514) are used.
       
  1782 
       
  1783 If you have set error_action = 1 or 2, you can
       
  1784 later check whether the image really was gray, after processing
       
  1785 the image rows, with the png_get_rgb_to_gray_status(png_ptr) function.
       
  1786 It will return a png_byte that is zero if the image was gray or
       
  1787 1 if there were any non-gray pixels.  bKGD and sBIT data
       
  1788 will be silently converted to grayscale, using the green channel
       
  1789 data, regardless of the error_action setting.
       
  1790 
       
  1791 With red_weight+green_weight<=100000,
       
  1792 the normalized graylevel is computed:
       
  1793 
       
  1794     int rw = red_weight * 65536;

  1804 
       
  1805 Libpng approximates this with
       
  1806 
       
  1807     Y = 0.21268 * R    + 0.7151 * G    + 0.07217 * B
       
  1808 
       
  1809 which can be expressed with integers as
       
  1810 
       
  1811     Y = (6969 * R + 23434 * G + 2365 * B)/32768
       
  1812 
       
  1813 The calculation is done in a linear colorspace, if the image gamma
       
  1814 is known.
       
  1815 
       
  1816 If you have a grayscale and you are using png_set_expand_depth(),
       
  1817 png_set_expand(), or png_set_gray_to_rgb to change to truecolor or to
       
  1818 a higher bit-depth, you must either supply the background color as a gray
       
  1819 value at the original file bit-depth (need_expand = 1) or else supply the
       
  1820 background color as an RGB triplet at the final, expanded bit depth
       
  1821 (need_expand = 0).  Similarly, if you are reading a paletted image, you
       
  1822 must either supply the background color as a palette index (need_expand = 1)
       
  1823 or as an RGB triplet that may or may not be in the palette (need_expand = 0).
       
  1824 
       
  1825     png_color_16 my_background;
       
  1826     png_color_16p image_background;
       
  1827 
       
  1828     if (png_get_bKGD(png_ptr, info_ptr, &image_background))
       
  1829         png_set_background(png_ptr, image_background,
       
  1830           PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE, 1, 1.0);
       
  1831     else
       
  1832         png_set_background(png_ptr, &my_background,
       
  1833           PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN, 0, 1.0);
       
  1834 
       
  1835 The png_set_background() function tells libpng to composite images
       
  1836 with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied background
       
  1837 color.  If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
       
  1838 you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
       
  1839 the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page).  You
       
  1840 need to tell libpng whether the color is in the gamma space of the
       
  1841 display (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN for colors you supply), the file
       
  1842 (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE for colors from the bKGD chunk), or one
       
  1843 that is neither of these gammas (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_UNIQUE - I don't
       
  1844 know why anyone would use this, but it's here).
       
  1845 
       
  1846 To properly display PNG images on any kind of system, the application needs
       
  1847 to know what the display gamma is.  Ideally, the user will know this, and
       
  1848 the application will allow them to set it.  One method of allowing the user
       
  1849 to set the display gamma separately for each system is to check for a
       
  1850 SCREEN_GAMMA or DISPLAY_GAMMA environment variable, which will hopefully be
       
  1851 correctly set.
       
  1852 
       
  1853 Note that display_gamma is the overall gamma correction required to produce
       
  1854 pleasing results, which depends on the lighting conditions in the surrounding
       
  1855 environment.  In a dim or brightly lit room, no compensation other than
       
  1856 the physical gamma exponent of the monitor is needed, while in a dark room
       
  1857 a slightly smaller exponent is better.

  1882    }
       
  1883 
       
  1884 The png_set_gamma() function handles gamma transformations of the data.
       
  1885 Pass both the file gamma and the current screen_gamma.  If the file does
       
  1886 not have a gamma value, you can pass one anyway if you have an idea what
       
  1887 it is (usually 0.45455 is a good guess for GIF images on PCs).  Note
       
  1888 that file gammas are inverted from screen gammas.  See the discussions
       
  1889 on gamma in the PNG specification for an excellent description of what
       
  1890 gamma is, and why all applications should support it.  It is strongly
       
  1891 recommended that PNG viewers support gamma correction.
       
  1892 
       
  1893    if (png_get_gAMA(png_ptr, info_ptr, &gamma))
       
  1894       png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, gamma);
       
  1895    else
       
  1896       png_set_gamma(png_ptr, screen_gamma, 0.45455);
       
  1897 
       
  1898 If you need to reduce an RGB file to a paletted file, or if a paletted
       
  1899 file has more entries then will fit on your screen, png_set_dither()
       
  1900 will do that.  Note that this is a simple match dither that merely
       
  1901 finds the closest color available.  This should work fairly well with
       
  1902 optimized palettes, and fairly badly with linear color cubes.  If you
       
  1903 pass a palette that is larger then maximum_colors, the file will
       
  1904 reduce the number of colors in the palette so it will fit into
       
  1905 maximum_colors.  If there is a histogram, it will use it to make
       
  1906 more intelligent choices when reducing the palette.  If there is no
       
  1907 histogram, it may not do as good a job.
       
  1908 
       
  1909    if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR)

  1917             &histogram);
       
  1918          png_set_dither(png_ptr, palette, num_palette,
       
  1919             max_screen_colors, histogram, 1);
       
  1920       }
       
  1921       else
       
  1922       {
       
  1923          png_color std_color_cube[MAX_SCREEN_COLORS] =
       
  1924             { ... colors ... };
       
  1925 
       
  1926          png_set_dither(png_ptr, std_color_cube,
       
  1927             MAX_SCREEN_COLORS, MAX_SCREEN_COLORS,
       
  1928             NULL,0);
       
  1929       }
       
  1930    }
       
  1931 
       
  1932 PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being one.
       
  1933 The following code will reverse this (make black be one and white be
       
  1934 zero):
       
  1935 
       
  1936    if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
       
  1937       png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
       
  1938 
       
  1939 This function can also be used to invert grayscale and gray-alpha images:
       
  1940 
       
  1941    if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
       
  1942         color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
       
  1943       png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
       
  1944 
       
  1945 PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
       
  1946 ie. most significant bits first).  This code changes the storage to the
       
  1947 other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits first, the
       
  1948 way PCs store them):
       
  1949 
       
  1950     if (bit_depth == 16)
       
  1951         png_set_swap(png_ptr);
       
  1952 
       
  1953 If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
       
  1954 need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
       
  1955 
       
  1956     if (bit_depth < 8)
       
  1957        png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
       
  1958 
       
  1959 Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
       
  1960 the existing ones meets your needs.  This is done by setting a callback
       
  1961 with
       
  1962 
       
  1963     png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
       
  1964        read_transform_fn);
       
  1965 
       
  1966 You must supply the function
       
  1967 
       
  1968     void read_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr
       
  1969        row_info, png_bytep data)
       
  1970 
       
  1971 See pngtest.c for a working example.  Your function will be called
       
  1972 after all of the other transformations have been processed.
       
  1973 
       
  1974 You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
       
  1975 callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
       
  1976 function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
       
  1977 function
       
  1978 
       
  1979     png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
       
  1980        user_depth, user_channels);
       
  1981 
       
  1982 The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
       
  1983 freeing any memory required for the user structure.
       
  1984 
       
  1985 You can retrieve the pointer via the function
       
  1986 png_get_user_transform_ptr().  For example:
       
  1987 
       
  1988     voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
       
  1989        png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
       
  1990 
       
  1991 The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
       
  1992 but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
       
  1993 of the interlaced image.
       
  1994 
       
  1995     number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
       
  1996 
       
  1997 After setting the transformations, libpng can update your png_info
       
  1998 structure to reflect any transformations you've requested with this
       
  1999 call.  This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes
       
  2000 field so you can use it to allocate your image memory.  This function
       
  2001 will also update your palette with the correct screen_gamma and
       
  2002 background if these have been given with the calls above.
       
  2003 
       
  2004     png_read_update_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  2005 
       
  2006 After you call png_read_update_info(), you can allocate any
       
  2007 memory you need to hold the image.  The row data is simply
       
  2008 raw byte data for all forms of images.  As the actual allocation
       
  2009 varies among applications, no example will be given.  If you
       
  2010 are allocating one large chunk, you will need to build an
       
  2011 array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
       
  2012 of the functions below.
       
  2013 
       
  2014 .SS Reading image data
       
  2015 
       
  2016 After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
       
  2017 The simplest way to do this is in one function call.  If you are
       
  2018 allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
       
  2019 call png_read_image() and libpng will read in all the image data
       
  2020 and put it in the memory area supplied.  You will need to pass in
       
  2021 an array of pointers to each row.
       
  2022 
       
  2023 This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't need
       
  2024 to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
       
  2025 times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_read_rows().
       
  2026 
       
  2027    png_read_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
       
  2028 
       
  2029 where row_pointers is:
       
  2030 
       
  2031    png_bytep row_pointers[height];
       
  2032 
       
  2033 You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
       
  2034 
       
  2035 If you don't want to read in the whole image at once, you can
       
  2036 use png_read_rows() instead.  If there is no interlacing (check
       
  2037 interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_NONE), this is simple:
       
  2038 
       
  2039     png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
       
  2040        number_of_rows);
       
  2041 
       
  2042 where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
       
  2043 
       
  2044 If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with
       
  2045 a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
       
  2046 
       
  2047     png_bytep row_pointer = row;
       
  2048     png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);
       
  2049 
       
  2050 If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things
       
  2051 get somewhat harder.  The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2)
       
  2052 interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
       
  2053 is a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that
       
  2054 breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based
       
  2055 on an 8x8 grid.
       
  2056 
       
  2057 libpng can fill out those images or it can give them to you "as is".
       
  2058 If you want them filled out, there are two ways to do that.  The one
       
  2059 mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover
       
  2060 those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method).
       
  2061 This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually
       
  2062 smooths out as more pixels are read.  The other method is the "sparkle"
       
  2063 method, where pixels are drawn only in their final locations, with the
       
  2064 rest of the image remaining whatever colors they were initialized to
       
  2065 before the start of the read.  The first method usually looks better,
       
  2066 but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows.
       
  2067 
       
  2068 If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
       
  2069 png_read_rows() seven times to read in all seven images.  Each of the
       
  2070 images is a valid image by itself, or they can all be combined on an
       
  2071 8x8 grid to form a single image (although if you intend to combine them
       
  2072 you would be far better off using the libpng interlace handling).
       
  2073 
       
  2074 The first pass will return an image 1/8 as wide as the entire image
       
  2075 (every 8th column starting in column 0) and 1/8 as high as the original
       
  2076 (every 8th row starting in row 0), the second will be 1/8 as wide
       
  2077 (starting in column 4) and 1/8 as high (also starting in row 0).  The
       
  2078 third pass will be 1/4 as wide (every 4th pixel starting in column 0) and
       
  2079 1/8 as high (every 8th row starting in row 4), and the fourth pass will
       
  2080 be 1/4 as wide and 1/4 as high (every 4th column starting in column 2,
       
  2081 and every 4th row starting in row 0).  The fifth pass will return an
       
  2082 image 1/2 as wide, and 1/4 as high (starting at column 0 and row 2),
       
  2083 while the sixth pass will be 1/2 as wide and 1/2 as high as the original
       
  2084 (starting in column 1 and row 0).  The seventh and final pass will be as
       
  2085 wide as the original, and 1/2 as high, containing all of the odd
       
  2086 numbered scanlines.  Phew!
       
  2087 
       
  2088 If you want libpng to expand the images, call this before calling
       
  2089 png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info():
       
  2090 
       
  2091     if (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
       
  2092         number_of_passes
       
  2093            = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
       
  2094 
       
  2095 This will return the number of passes needed.  Currently, this
       
  2096 is seven, but may change if another interlace type is added.
       
  2097 This function can be called even if the file is not interlaced,
       
  2098 where it will return one pass.
       
  2099 
       
  2100 If you are not going to display the image after each pass, but are
       
  2101 going to wait until the entire image is read in, use the sparkle
       
  2102 effect.  This effect is faster and the end result of either method
       
  2103 is exactly the same.  If you are planning on displaying the image
       
  2104 after each pass, the "rectangle" effect is generally considered the
       
  2105 better looking one.
       
  2106 
       
  2107 If you only want the "sparkle" effect, just call png_read_rows() as
       
  2108 normal, with the third parameter NULL.  Make sure you make pass over
       
  2109 the image number_of_passes times, and you don't change the data in the
       
  2110 rows between calls.  You can change the locations of the data, just
       
  2111 not the data.  Each pass only writes the pixels appropriate for that
       
  2112 pass, and assumes the data from previous passes is still valid.
       
  2113 
       
  2114     png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
       
  2115        number_of_rows);
       
  2116 
       
  2117 If you only want the first effect (the rectangles), do the same as
       
  2118 before except pass the row buffer in the third parameter, and leave
       
  2119 the second parameter NULL.
       
  2120 
       
  2121     png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
       
  2122        number_of_rows);
       
  2123 
       
  2124 .SS Finishing a sequential read
       
  2125 
       
  2126 After you are finished reading the image through the
       
  2127 low-level interface, you can finish reading the file.  If you are
       
  2128 interested in comments or time, which may be stored either before or
       
  2129 after the image data, you should pass the separate png_info struct if
       
  2130 you want to keep the comments from before and after the image
       
  2131 separate.  If you are not interested, you can pass NULL.
       
  2132 
       
  2133    png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
       
  2134 
       
  2135 When you are done, you can free all memory allocated by libpng like this:
       
  2136 
       
  2137    png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
       
  2138        &end_info);
       
  2139 
       
  2140 It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
       
  2141 point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
       
  2142 
       
  2143     png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
       
  2144     mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
       
  2145            containing the bitwise OR of one or
       
  2146            more of
       
  2147              PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
       
  2148              PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
       
  2149              PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
       
  2150              PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
       
  2151              PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
       
  2152            or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
       
  2153     seq  - sequence number of item to be freed
       
  2154            (-1 for all items)
       
  2155 
       
  2156 This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
       
  2157 already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
       
  2158 by the user and not by libpng,  and will in those
       
  2159 cases do nothing.  The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item
       
  2160 of the selected data type, such as PLTE, is allowed.  If "seq" is not
       
  2161 -1, and multiple items are allowed for the data type identified in
       
  2162 the mask, such as text or sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure
       
  2163 is freed, where n is "seq".
       
  2164 
       
  2165 The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
       
  2166 by libpng.  This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
       
  2167 or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
       
  2168 or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
       
  2169 
       
  2170     png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
       
  2171     mask   - which data elements are affected
       
  2172              same choices as in png_free_data()
       
  2173     freer  - one of
       
  2174                PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
       
  2175                PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
       
  2176                PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
       
  2177 
       
  2178 This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
       
  2179 You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling
       
  2180 any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
       
  2181 function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
       
  2182 and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
       
  2183 or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.  When the user assumes
       
  2184 responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
       
  2185 png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
       
  2186 for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
       
  2187 or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
       
  2188 
       
  2189 If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
       
  2190 the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
       
  2191 responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
       
  2192 because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
       
  2193 
       
  2194 If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
       
  2195 separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
       
  2196 because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
       
  2197 the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key.  Similarly,
       
  2198 if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
       
  2199 application, your application must not separately free those members.
       
  2200 
       
  2201 The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
       
  2202 it frees.  If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by your
       
  2203 application instead of by libpng, you can use
       
  2204 
       
  2205     png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);
       
  2206     mask - identifies the chunks to be made invalid,
       
  2207            containing the bitwise OR of one or
       
  2208            more of
       
  2209              PNG_INFO_gAMA, PNG_INFO_sBIT,
       
  2210              PNG_INFO_cHRM, PNG_INFO_PLTE,

  2213              PNG_INFO_oFFs, PNG_INFO_tIME,

  2221 
       
  2222 The progressive reader is slightly different then the non-progressive
       
  2223 reader.  Instead of calling png_read_info(), png_read_rows(), and
       
  2224 png_read_end(), you make one call to png_process_data(), which calls
       
  2225 callbacks when it has the info, a row, or the end of the image.  You
       
  2226 set up these callbacks with png_set_progressive_read_fn().  You don't
       
  2227 have to worry about the input/output functions of libpng, as you are
       
  2228 giving the library the data directly in png_process_data().  I will

  2368        for interlaced images), you will have to pass
       
  2369        the current row, and the function will combine
       
  2370        the old row and the new row.

  2391 .SH IV. Writing
       
  2392 
       
  2393 Much of this is very similar to reading.  However, everything of
       
  2394 importance is repeated here, so you won't have to constantly look
       
  2395 back up in the reading section to understand writing.
       
  2396 
       
  2397 .SS Setup
       
  2398 
       
  2399 You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
       
  2400 so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
       
  2401 using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
       
  2402 custom writing functions.  See the discussion under Customizing libpng.
       
  2403 
       
  2404     FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "wb");
       
  2405     if (!fp)
       
  2406     {
       
  2407        return (ERROR);
       
  2408     }
       
  2409 
       
  2410 Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.
       
  2411 As these can be both relatively large, you may not want to store these
       
  2412 on the stack, unless you have stack space to spare.  Of course, you
       
  2413 will want to check if they return NULL.  If you are also reading,
       
  2414 you won't want to name your read structure and your write structure
       
  2415 both "png_ptr"; you can call them anything you like, such as
       
  2416 "read_ptr" and "write_ptr".  Look at pngtest.c, for example.
       
  2417 
       
  2418     png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct
       
  2419        (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
       
  2420         user_error_fn, user_warning_fn);
       
  2421     if (!png_ptr)
       
  2422        return (ERROR);
       
  2423 
       
  2424     png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr);
       
  2425     if (!info_ptr)
       
  2426     {
       
  2427        png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr,
       
  2428          (png_infopp)NULL);
       
  2429        return (ERROR);
       
  2430     }
       
  2431 
       
  2432 If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
       
  2433 define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
       
  2434 png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_write_struct():
       
  2435 
       
  2436     png_structp png_ptr = png_create_write_struct_2
       
  2437        (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
       
  2438         user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
       
  2439         user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
       
  2440 
       
  2441 After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
       
  2442 error handling.  When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
       
  2443 longjmp() back to your routine.  Therefore, you will need to call
       
  2444 setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr).  If you
       
  2445 write the file from different routines, you will need to update
       
  2446 the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
       
  2447 call a png_*() function.  See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
       
  2448 for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp.  See
       
  2449 the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
       
  2450 section below for more information on the libpng error handling.
       
  2451 
       
  2452     if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))
       
  2453     {
       
  2454        png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
       
  2455        fclose(fp);
       
  2456        return (ERROR);
       
  2457     }
       
  2458     ...
       
  2459     return;
       
  2460 
       
  2461 If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
       
  2462 you can compile libpng with PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case
       
  2463 errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
       
  2464 
       
  2465 Now you need to set up the output code.  The default for libpng is to
       
  2466 use the C function fwrite().  If you use this, you will need to pass a
       
  2467 valid FILE * in the function png_init_io().  Be sure that the file is
       
  2468 opened in binary mode.  Again, if you wish to handle writing data in
       
  2469 another way, see the discussion on libpng I/O handling in the Customizing
       
  2470 Libpng section below.
       
  2471 
       
  2472     png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
       
  2473 
       
  2474 If you are embedding your PNG into a datastream such as MNG, and don't
       
  2475 want libpng to write the 8-byte signature, or if you have already
       
  2476 written the signature in your application, use
       
  2477 
       
  2478     png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, 8);
       
  2479 
       
  2480 to inform libpng that it should not write a signature.
       
  2481 
       
  2482 .SS Write callbacks
       
  2483 
       
  2484 At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
       
  2485 called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
       
  2486 a progress meter or the like.  It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
       
  2487 You must supply a function
       
  2488 
       
  2489     void write_row_callback(png_ptr, png_uint_32 row,
       
  2490        int pass);
       
  2491     {
       
  2492       /* put your code here */
       
  2493     }
       
  2494 
       
  2495 (You can give it another name that you like instead of "write_row_callback")
       
  2496 
       
  2497 To inform libpng about your function, use
       
  2498 
       
  2499     png_set_write_status_fn(png_ptr, write_row_callback);
       
  2500 
       
  2501 You now have the option of modifying how the compression library will
       
  2502 run.  The following functions are mainly for testing, but may be useful
       
  2503 in some cases, like if you need to write PNG files extremely fast and
       
  2504 are willing to give up some compression, or if you want to get the
       
  2505 maximum possible compression at the expense of slower writing.  If you
       
  2506 have no special needs in this area, let the library do what it wants by
       
  2507 not calling this function at all, as it has been tuned to deliver a good
       
  2508 speed/compression ratio. The second parameter to png_set_filter() is
       
  2509 the filter method, for which the only valid values are 0 (as of the
       
  2510 July 1999 PNG specification, version 1.2) or 64 (if you are writing
       
  2511 a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG datastream).  The third
       
  2512 parameter is a flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested
       
  2513 for each scanline.  See the PNG specification for details on the specific filter
       
  2514 types.
       
  2515 
       
  2516 
       
  2517     /* turn on or off filtering, and/or choose
       
  2518        specific filters.  You can use either a single
       
  2519        PNG_FILTER_VALUE_NAME or the bitwise OR of one
       
  2520        or more PNG_FILTER_NAME masks. */
       
  2521     png_set_filter(png_ptr, 0,
       
  2522        PNG_FILTER_NONE  | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_NONE |
       
  2523        PNG_FILTER_SUB   | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_SUB  |
       
  2524        PNG_FILTER_UP    | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_UP   |
       
  2525        PNG_FILTER_AVE   | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_AVE  |
       
  2526        PNG_FILTER_PAETH | PNG_FILTER_VALUE_PAETH|
       
  2527        PNG_ALL_FILTERS);
       
  2528 
       
  2529 If an application
       
  2530 wants to start and stop using particular filters during compression,
       
  2531 it should start out with all of the filters (to ensure that the previous
       
  2532 row of pixels will be stored in case it's needed later), and then add
       
  2533 and remove them after the start of compression.
       
  2534 
       
  2535 If you are writing a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG
       
  2536 datastream, the second parameter can be either 0 or 64.
       
  2537 
       
  2538 The png_set_compression_*() functions interface to the zlib compression
       
  2539 library, and should mostly be ignored unless you really know what you are
       
  2540 doing.  The only generally useful call is png_set_compression_level()
       
  2541 which changes how much time zlib spends on trying to compress the image
       
  2542 data.  See the Compression Library (zlib.h and algorithm.txt, distributed
       
  2543 with zlib) for details on the compression levels.

  2559 .SS Setting the contents of info for output
       
  2560 
       
  2561 You now need to fill in the png_info structure with all the data you
       
  2562 wish to write before the actual image.  Note that the only thing you
       
  2563 are allowed to write after the image is the text chunks and the time
       
  2564 chunk (as of PNG Specification 1.2, anyway).  See png_write_end() and
       
  2565 the latest PNG specification for more information on that.  If you
       
  2566 wish to write them before the image, fill them in now, and flag that
       
  2567 data as being valid.  If you want to wait until after the data, don't
       
  2568 fill them until png_write_end().  For all the fields in png_info and
       
  2569 their data types, see png.h.  For explanations of what the fields
       
  2570 contain, see the PNG specification.
       
  2571 
       
  2572 Some of the more important parts of the png_info are:
       
  2573 
       
  2574     png_set_IHDR(png_ptr, info_ptr, width, height,
       
  2575        bit_depth, color_type, interlace_type,
       
  2576        compression_type, filter_method)
       
  2577     width          - holds the width of the image
       
  2578                      in pixels (up to 2^31).
       
  2579     height         - holds the height of the image
       
  2580                      in pixels (up to 2^31).
       
  2581     bit_depth      - holds the bit depth of one of the
       
  2582                      image channels.

  2584                      and depend also on the
       
  2585                      color_type.  See also significant

  2769 
       
  2770 The "location" member is set automatically according to
       
  2771 what part of the output file has already been written.
       
  2772 You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
       
  2773 as demonstrated in pngtest.c.  Within each of the "locations",
       
  2774 the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
       
  2775 structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
       
  2776 the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
       
  2777 png_set_unknown_chunks).
       
  2778 
       
  2779 A quick word about text and num_text.  text is an array of png_text
       
  2780 structures.  num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
       
  2781 Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
       
  2782 and a compression type.
       
  2783 
       
  2784 The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
       
  2785 types of the image data.  Currently, the only valid number is zero.
       
  2786 However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
       
  2787 images, which always have to be compressed.  So if you don't want the
       
  2788 text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
       
  2789 Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
       
  2790 specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
       
  2791 any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
       
  2792 
       
  2793 Until text gets around 1000 bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
       
  2794 After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
       
  2795 is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
       
  2796 so that it isn't written out again at the end (in case you are calling
       
  2797 png_write_end() with the same struct.
       
  2798 
       
  2799 The keywords that are given in the PNG Specification are:
       
  2800 
       
  2801     Title            Short (one line) title or
       
  2802                      caption for image
       
  2803     Author           Name of image's creator
       
  2804     Description      Description of image (possibly long)
       
  2805     Copyright        Copyright notice
       
  2806     Creation Time    Time of original image creation
       
  2807                      (usually RFC 1123 format, see below)
       
  2808     Software         Software used to create the image
       
  2809     Disclaimer       Legal disclaimer
       
  2810     Warning          Warning of nature of content
       
  2811     Source           Device used to create the image
       
  2812     Comment          Miscellaneous comment; conversion
       
  2813                      from other image format
       
  2814 
       
  2815 The keyword-text pairs work like this.  Keywords should be short
       
  2816 simple descriptions of what the comment is about.  Some typical
       
  2817 keywords are found in the PNG specification, as is some recommendations
       
  2818 on keywords.  You can repeat keywords in a file.  You can even write
       
  2819 some text before the image and some after.  For example, you may want
       
  2820 to put a description of the image before the image, but leave the
       
  2821 disclaimer until after, so viewers working over modem connections
       
  2822 don't have to wait for the disclaimer to go over the modem before
       
  2823 they start seeing the image.  Finally, keywords should be full
       
  2824 words, not abbreviations.  Keywords and text are in the ISO 8859-1
       
  2825 (Latin-1) character set (a superset of regular ASCII) and can not
       
  2826 contain NUL characters, and should not contain control or other
       
  2827 unprintable characters.  To make the comments widely readable, stick
       
  2828 with basic ASCII, and avoid machine specific character set extensions
       
  2829 like the IBM-PC character set.  The keyword must be present, but
       
  2830 you can leave off the text string on non-compressed pairs.
       
  2831 Compressed pairs must have a text string, as only the text string
       
  2832 is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
       
  2833 
       
  2834 PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure.  Two
       
  2835 conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
       
  2836 time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm.  The
       
  2837 time_t routine uses gmtime().  You don't have to use either of
       
  2838 these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
       
  2839 you should provide the time in universal time (GMT) if possible
       
  2840 instead of your local time.  Note that the year number is the full
       
  2841 year (e.g. 1998, rather than 98 - PNG is year 2000 compliant!), and
       
  2842 that months start with 1.
       
  2843 
       
  2844 If you want to store the time of the original image creation, you should
       
  2845 use a plain tEXt chunk with the "Creation Time" keyword.  This is
       
  2846 necessary because the "creation time" of a PNG image is somewhat vague,
       
  2847 depending on whether you mean the PNG file, the time the image was
       
  2848 created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
       
  2849 scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself.  In order to facilitate
       
  2850 machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
       
  2851 tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
       
  2852 although this isn't a requirement.  Unlike the tIME chunk, the
       
  2853 "Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
       
  2854 by the software.  To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
       
  2855 png_convert_to_rfc1123(png_timep) is provided to convert from PNG
       
  2856 time to an RFC 1123 format string.

  2860 You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks
       
  2861 for writing.  You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's
       
  2862 all there is to it.  The chunks will be written by the next following
       
  2863 png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function.
       
  2864 Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk
       
  2865 list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG
       
  2866 specification's ordering rules.
       
  2867 
       
  2868 .SS The high-level write interface
       
  2869 
       
  2870 At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
       
  2871 write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
       
  2872 You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
       
  2873 in the info structure.  All defined output
       
  2874 transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
       
  2875 
       
  2876     PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY      No transformation
       
  2877     PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING       Pack 1, 2 and 4-bit samples
       
  2878     PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP      Change order of packed
       
  2879                                 pixels to LSB first
       
  2880     PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO   Invert monochrome images
       
  2881     PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT         Normalize pixels to the
       
  2882                                 sBIT depth
       
  2883     PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR           Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA
       
  2884                                 to BGRA
       
  2885     PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA    Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
       
  2886                                 to AG
       
  2887     PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA  Change alpha from opacity
       
  2888                                 to transparency
       
  2889     PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN   Byte-swap 16-bit samples
       
  2890     PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER  Strip out filler bytes.
       
  2891 
       
  2892 If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
       
  2893 png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
       
  2894 
       
  2895     png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
       
  2896 
       
  2897 where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
       
  2898 transformation flags.  This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
       
  2899 followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
       
  2900 then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
       
  2901 
       
  2902 (The final parameter of this call is not yet used.  Someday it might point
       
  2903 to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
       
  2904 
       
  2905 You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
       
  2906 when you use png_write_png().
       
  2907 
       
  2908 .SS The low-level write interface
       
  2909 
       
  2910 If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
       
  2911 write all the file information up to the actual image data.  You do
       
  2912 this with a call to png_write_info().
       
  2913 
       
  2914     png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  2915 
       
  2916 Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
       
  2917 png_write_info().  In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
       
  2918 level of opacity.  If your data is supplied as a level of
       
  2919 transparency, you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so
       
  2920 that 0 is fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or
       
  2921 65535 (in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
       
  2922 
       
  2923     png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
       
  2924 
       
  2925 This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
       
  2926 other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
       
  2927 chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written.  If
       
  2928 your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
       
  2929 represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
       
  2930 be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
       
  2931 png_write_info() call.
       
  2932 
       
  2933 If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
       
  2934 the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
       
  2935 two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
       
  2936 
       
  2937     png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  2938     png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
       
  2939     png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  2940 
       
  2941 After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
       
  2942 to handle any special transformations of the image data.  The various
       
  2943 ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
       
  2944 should occur.  This is important, as some of these change the color
       
  2945 type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
       
  2946 certain color types and bit depths.  Even though each transformation
       
  2947 checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
       
  2948 make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
       
  2949 data.  For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
       
  2950 
       
  2951 PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes.  This code tells
       
  2952 the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down
       
  2953 to 3 or 6 bytes (or strip 2 or 4-byte grayscale+filler data to 1 or 2
       
  2954 bytes per pixel).
       
  2955 
       
  2956     png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
       
  2957 
       
  2958 where the 0 is unused, and the location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or
       
  2959 PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether the filler byte in the pixel
       
  2960 is stored XRGB or RGBX.
       
  2961 
       
  2962 PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
       
  2963 they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.
       
  2964 If the data is supplied at 1 pixel per byte, use this code, which will
       
  2965 correctly pack the pixels into a single byte:
       
  2966 
       
  2967     png_set_packing(png_ptr);
       
  2968 
       
  2969 PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.  If your
       
  2970 data is of another bit depth, you can write an sBIT chunk into the
       
  2971 file so that decoders can recover the original data if desired.
       
  2972 
       
  2973     /* Set the true bit depth of the image data */
       
  2974     if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_COLOR)
       
  2975     {
       
  2976         sig_bit.red = true_bit_depth;
       
  2977         sig_bit.green = true_bit_depth;
       
  2978         sig_bit.blue = true_bit_depth;
       
  2979     }
       
  2980     else
       
  2981     {
       
  2982         sig_bit.gray = true_bit_depth;
       
  2983     }
       
  2984     if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
       
  2985     {
       
  2986         sig_bit.alpha = true_bit_depth;
       
  2987     }
       
  2988 
       
  2989     png_set_sBIT(png_ptr, info_ptr, &sig_bit);
       
  2990 
       
  2991 If the data is stored in the row buffer in a bit depth other than
       
  2992 one supported by PNG (e.g. 3 bit data in the range 0-7 for a 4-bit PNG),
       
  2993 this will scale the values to appear to be the correct bit depth as
       
  2994 is required by PNG.
       
  2995 
       
  2996     png_set_shift(png_ptr, &sig_bit);
       
  2997 
       
  2998 PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
       
  2999 ie. most significant bits first).  This code would be used if they are
       
  3000 supplied the other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits
       
  3001 first, the way PCs store them):
       
  3002 
       
  3003     if (bit_depth > 8)
       
  3004        png_set_swap(png_ptr);
       
  3005 
       
  3006 If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
       
  3007 need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
       
  3008 
       
  3009     if (bit_depth < 8)
       
  3010        png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
       
  3011 
       
  3012 PNG files store 3 color pixels in red, green, blue order.  This code
       
  3013 would be used if they are supplied as blue, green, red:
       
  3014 
       
  3015     png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
       
  3016 
       
  3017 PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being
       
  3018 one. This code would be used if the pixels are supplied with this reversed
       
  3019 (black being one and white being zero):
       
  3020 
       
  3021     png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
       
  3022 
       
  3023 Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
       
  3024 the existing ones meets your needs.  This is done by setting a callback
       
  3025 with
       
  3026 
       
  3027     png_set_write_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
       
  3028        write_transform_fn);
       
  3029 
       
  3030 You must supply the function
       
  3031 
       
  3032     void write_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr
       
  3033        row_info, png_bytep data)
       
  3034 
       
  3035 See pngtest.c for a working example.  Your function will be called
       
  3036 before any of the other transformations are processed.
       
  3037 
       
  3038 You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
       
  3039 callback function.
       
  3040 
       
  3041     png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
       
  3042 
       
  3043 The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
       
  3044 when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
       
  3045 
       
  3046 You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
       
  3047 For example:
       
  3048 
       
  3049     voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
       
  3050        png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
       
  3051 
       
  3052 It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
       
  3053 or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written.  To
       
  3054 flush the output stream a single time call:
       
  3055 
       
  3056     png_write_flush(png_ptr);
       
  3057 
       
  3058 and to have libpng flush the output stream periodically after a certain
       
  3059 number of scanlines have been written, call:
       
  3060 
       
  3061     png_set_flush(png_ptr, nrows);
       
  3062 
       
  3063 Note that the distance between rows is from the last time png_write_flush()
       
  3064 was called, or the first row of the image if it has never been called.
       
  3065 So if you write 50 lines, and then png_set_flush 25, it will flush the
       
  3066 output on the next scanline, and every 25 lines thereafter, unless
       
  3067 png_write_flush() is called before 25 more lines have been written.
       
  3068 If nrows is too small (less than about 10 lines for a 640 pixel wide
       
  3069 RGB image) the image compression may decrease noticeably (although this
       
  3070 may be acceptable for real-time applications).  Infrequent flushing will
       
  3071 only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
       
  3072 that do not use flushing.
       
  3073 
       
  3074 .SS Writing the image data
       
  3075 
       
  3076 That's it for the transformations.  Now you can write the image data.
       
  3077 The simplest way to do this is in one function call.  If you have the
       
  3078 whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
       
  3079 will write the image.  You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
       
  3080 each row.  This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
       
  3081 need to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
       
  3082 times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_write_rows().
       
  3083 
       
  3084     png_write_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
       
  3085 
       
  3086 where row_pointers is:
       
  3087 
       
  3088     png_byte *row_pointers[height];
       
  3089 
       
  3090 You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
       
  3091 
       
  3092 If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can
       
  3093 use png_write_rows() instead.  If the file is not interlaced,
       
  3094 this is simple:
       
  3095 
       
  3096     png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,
       
  3097        number_of_rows);
       
  3098 
       
  3099 row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
       
  3100 
       
  3101 If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
       
  3102 a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
       
  3103 
       
  3104     png_bytep row_pointer = row;
       
  3105 
       
  3106     png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
       
  3107 
       
  3108 When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more
       
  3109 complicated.  The only currently (as of the PNG Specification
       
  3110 version 1.2, dated July 1999) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files
       
  3111 is the "Adam7" interlace scheme, that breaks down an
       
  3112 image into seven smaller images of varying size.  libpng will build
       
  3113 these images for you, or you can do them yourself.  If you want to
       
  3114 build them yourself, see the PNG specification for details of which
       
  3115 pixels to write when.
       
  3116 
       
  3117 If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just
       
  3118 use png_set_interlace_handling() and call png_write_rows() the
       
  3119 correct number of times to write all seven sub-images.
       
  3120 
       
  3121 If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start
       
  3122 writing any rows:
       
  3123 
       
  3124     number_of_passes =
       
  3125        png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
       
  3126 
       
  3127 This will return the number of passes needed.  Currently, this
       
  3128 is seven, but may change if another interlace type is added.
       
  3129 
       
  3130 Then write the complete image number_of_passes times.
       
  3131 
       
  3132     png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,
       
  3133        number_of_rows);
       
  3134 
       
  3135 As some of these rows are not used, and thus return immediately,
       
  3136 you may want to read about interlacing in the PNG specification,
       
  3137 and only update the rows that are actually used.

  3139 .SS Finishing a sequential write
       
  3140 
       
  3141 After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
       
  3142 the file.  If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
       
  3143 pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer.  If you are not interested,
       
  3144 you can pass NULL.
       
  3145 
       
  3146     png_write_end(png_ptr, info_ptr);
       
  3147 
       
  3148 When you are done, you can free all memory used by libpng like this:
       
  3149 
       
  3150     png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
       
  3151 
       
  3152 It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
       
  3153 point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
       
  3154 
       
  3155     png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
       
  3156     mask  - identifies data to be freed, a mask
       
  3157             containing the bitwise OR of one or
       
  3158             more of
       
  3159               PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
       
  3160               PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
       
  3161               PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
       
  3162               PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
       
  3163               PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
       
  3164             or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
       
  3165     seq   - sequence number of item to be freed
       
  3166             (-1 for all items)
       
  3167 
       
  3168 This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
       
  3169 already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
       
  3170 by the user  and not by libpng,  and will in those
       
  3171 cases do nothing.  The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item
       
  3172 of the selected data type, such as PLTE, is allowed.  If "seq" is not
       
  3173 -1, and multiple items are allowed for the data type identified in
       
  3174 the mask, such as text or sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure
       
  3175 is freed, where n is "seq".
       
  3176 
       
  3177 If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed
       
  3178 in to libpng with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
       
  3179 png_destroy_write_struct().
       
  3180 
       
  3181 The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
       
  3182 by libpng.  This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
       
  3183 or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
       
  3184 or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
       
  3185 
       
  3186     png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
       
  3187     mask   - which data elements are affected
       
  3188              same choices as in png_free_data()
       
  3189     freer  - one of
       
  3190                PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA
       
  3191                PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA
       
  3192                PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA
       
  3193 
       
  3194 For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
       
  3195 to a write structure, you could use
       
  3196 
       
  3197     png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
       
  3198        PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
       
  3199        PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
       
  3200     png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
       
  3201        PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
       
  3202        PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
       
  3203 
       
  3204 thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
       
  3205 immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
       
  3206 function.  Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
       
  3207 structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
       
  3208 structure.
       
  3209 
       
  3210 This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
       
  3211 You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
       
  3212 to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
       
  3213 When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
       
  3214 application must use
       
  3215 png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
       
  3216 for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
       
  3217 or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
       
  3218 
       
  3219 If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
       
  3220 separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
       
  3221 because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
       
  3222 the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key.  Similarly,
       
  3223 if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
       
  3224 application, your application must not separately free those members.
       
  3225 For a more compact example of writing a PNG image, see the file example.c.
       
  3226 
       
  3227 .SH V. Modifying/Customizing libpng:
       
  3228 
       
  3229 There are two issues here.  The first is changing how libpng does
       
  3230 standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
       
  3231 The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
       
  3232 adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
       
  3233 Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
       
  3234 determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
       
  3235 to provide the user with a means of changing them.
       
  3236 
       
  3237 Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
       
  3238 
       
  3239 All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
       
  3240 goes through callbacks that are user-settable.  The default routines are
       
  3241 in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively.  To change
       
  3242 these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
       
  3243 
       
  3244 Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc()
       
  3245 and png_free().  These currently just call the standard C functions.  If
       
  3246 your pointers can't access more then 64K at a time, you will want to set
       
  3247 MAXSEG_64K in zlib.h.  Since it is unlikely that the method of handling
       
  3248 memory allocation on a platform will change between applications, these
       
  3249 functions must be modified in the library at compile time.  If you prefer
       
  3250 to use a different method of allocating and freeing data, you can use
       
  3251 png_create_read_struct_2() or png_create_write_struct_2() to register
       
  3252 your own functions as described above.
       
  3253 These functions also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via
       
  3254 
       
  3255     mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
       
  3256 
       
  3257 Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:
       
  3258 
       
  3259     png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
       
  3260        png_size_t size);
       
  3261     void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
       
  3262 
       
  3263 Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure.  The png_malloc()
       
  3264 function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
       
  3265 system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
       
  3266 
       
  3267 Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
       
  3268 png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
       
  3269 
       
  3270 Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
       
  3271 which currently just call fread() and fwrite().  The FILE * is stored in
       
  3272 png_struct and is initialized via png_init_io().  If you wish to change
       
  3273 the method of I/O, the library supplies callbacks that you can set
       
  3274 through the function png_set_read_fn() and png_set_write_fn() at run
       
  3275 time, instead of calling the png_init_io() function.  These functions
       
  3276 also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
       
  3277 png_get_io_ptr().  For example:
       
  3278 
       
  3279     png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
       
  3280         voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
       
  3281 
       
  3282     png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
       
  3283         voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
       
  3284         png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
       
  3285 
       
  3286     voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
       
  3287     voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
       
  3288 
       
  3289 The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:
       
  3290 
       
  3291     void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr,
       
  3292         png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
       
  3293     void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr,
       
  3294         png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
       
  3295     void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr);
       
  3296 
       
  3297 Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
       
  3298 to using the default C stream functions.  It is an error to read from
       
  3299 a write stream, and vice versa.
       
  3300 
       
  3301 Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
       
  3302 Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
       
  3303 should never return to its caller.  Currently, this is handled via
       
  3304 setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
       
  3305 PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
       
  3306 but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish.
       
  3307 
       
  3308 On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
       
  3309 to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
       
  3310 By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
       
  3311 fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined
       
  3312 (because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because
       
  3313 fprintf() isn't available).  If you wish to change the behavior of the error
       
  3314 functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks.  These
       
  3315 functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created.
       
  3316 It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement
       
  3317 functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling:
       
  3318 
       
  3319     png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
       
  3320         png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn,
       
  3321         png_error_ptr warning_fn);
       
  3322 
       
  3323     png_voidp error_ptr = png_get_error_ptr(png_ptr);
       
  3324 
       
  3325 If NULL is supplied for either error_fn or warning_fn, then the libpng
       
  3326 default function will be used, calling fprintf() and/or longjmp() if a
       
  3327 problem is encountered.  The replacement error functions should have
       
  3328 parameters as follows:
       
  3329 
       
  3330     void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
       
  3331         png_const_charp error_msg);
       
  3332     void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
       
  3333         png_const_charp warning_msg);
       
  3334 
       
  3335 The motivation behind using setjmp() and longjmp() is the C++ throw and
       
  3336 catch exception handling methods.  This makes the code much easier to write,
       
  3337 as there is no need to check every return code of every function call.
       
  3338 However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables
       
  3339 after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything after
       
  3340 setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself.  Consult your compiler
       
  3341 documentation for more details.  For an alternative approach, you may wish
       
  3342 to use the "cexcept" facility (see http://cexcept.sourceforge.net).
       
  3343 
       
  3344 .SS Custom chunks
       
  3345 
       
  3346 If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper
       
  3347 into the libpng code.  The library now has mechanisms for storing
       
  3348 and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks
       
  3349 for custom chunks.  However, this may not be good enough if the
       
  3350 library code itself needs to know about interactions between your
       
  3351 chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks.
       
  3352 
       
  3353 If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG
       
  3354 specification. Acquire a first level of
       
  3355 understanding of how it works.  Pay particular attention to the
       
  3356 sections that describe chunk names, and look at how other chunks were
       
  3357 designed, so you can do things similarly.  Second, check out the
       
  3358 sections of libpng that read and write chunks.  Try to find a chunk
       
  3359 that is similar to yours and use it as a template.  More details can
       
  3360 be found in the comments inside the code.  It is best to handle unknown
       
  3361 chunks in a generic method, via callback functions, instead of by
       
  3362 modifying libpng functions.
       
  3363 
       
  3364 If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through
       
  3365 the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of
       
  3366 the simpler ones to get an idea of how they work.  Try to find a similar
       
  3367 transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it.  More details
       
  3368 can be found in the comments inside the code itself.

  3370 .SS Configuring for 16 bit platforms
       
  3371 
       
  3372 You will want to look into zconf.h to tell zlib (and thus libpng) that
       
  3373 it cannot allocate more then 64K at a time.  Even if you can, the memory
       
  3374 won't be accessible.  So limit zlib and libpng to 64K by defining MAXSEG_64K.
       
  3375 
       
  3376 .SS Configuring for DOS
       
  3377 
       
  3378 For DOS users who only have access to the lower 640K, you will
       
  3379 have to limit zlib's memory usage via a png_set_compression_mem_level()
       
  3380 call.  See zlib.h or zconf.h in the zlib library for more information.
       
  3381 
       
  3382 .SS Configuring for Medium Model
       
  3383 
       
  3384 Libpng's support for medium model has been tested on most of the popular
       
  3385 compilers.  Make sure MAXSEG_64K gets defined, USE_FAR_KEYWORD gets
       
  3386 defined, and FAR gets defined to far in pngconf.h, and you should be
       
  3387 all set.  Everything in the library (except for zlib's structure) is
       
  3388 expecting far data.  You must use the typedefs with the p or pp on
       
  3389 the end for pointers (or at least look at them and be careful).  Make
       
  3390 note that the rows of data are defined as png_bytepp, which is an
       
  3391 unsigned char far * far *.
       
  3392 
       
  3393 .SS Configuring for gui/windowing platforms:
       
  3394 
       
  3395 You will need to write new error and warning functions that use the GUI
       
  3396 interface, as described previously, and set them to be the error and
       
  3397 warning functions at the time that png_create_*_struct() is called,
       
  3398 in order to have them available during the structure initialization.
       
  3399 They can be changed later via png_set_error_fn().  On some compilers,
       
  3400 you may also have to change the memory allocators (png_malloc, etc.).
       
  3401 
       
  3402 .SS Configuring for compiler xxx:
       
  3403 
       
  3404 All includes for libpng are in pngconf.h.  If you need to add/change/delete
       
  3405 an include, this is the place to do it.  The includes that are not
       
  3406 needed outside libpng are protected by the PNG_INTERNAL definition,
       
  3407 which is only defined for those routines inside libpng itself.  The
       
  3408 files in libpng proper only include png.h, which includes pngconf.h.
       
  3409 
       
  3410 .SS Configuring zlib:
       
  3411 
       
  3412 There are special functions to configure the compression.  Perhaps the
       
  3413 most useful one changes the compression level, which currently uses
       
  3414 input compression values in the range 0 - 9.  The library normally
       
  3415 uses the default compression level (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = 6).  Tests
       
  3416 have shown that for a large majority of images, compression values in
       
  3417 the range 3-6 compress nearly as well as higher levels, and do so much
       
  3418 faster.  For online applications it may be desirable to have maximum speed
       
  3419 (Z_BEST_SPEED = 1).  With versions of zlib after v0.99, you can also
       
  3420 specify no compression (Z_NO_COMPRESSION = 0), but this would create
       
  3421 files larger than just storing the raw bitmap.  You can specify the
       
  3422 compression level by calling:
       
  3423 
       
  3424     png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
       
  3425 
       
  3426 Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library.
       
  3427 The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are
       
  3428 short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K).
       
  3429 Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among
       
  3430 other things, lower levels will result in sections of incompressible
       
  3431 data being emitted in smaller stored blocks, with a correspondingly
       
  3432 larger relative overhead of up to 15% in the worst case.
       
  3433 
       
  3434     png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level);
       
  3435 
       
  3436 The other functions are for configuring zlib.  They are not recommended
       
  3437 for normal use and may result in writing an invalid PNG file.  See
       
  3438 zlib.h for more information on what these mean.

  3447 .SS Controlling row filtering
       
  3448 
       
  3449 If you want to control whether libpng uses filtering or not, which
       
  3450 filters are used, and how it goes about picking row filters, you
       
  3451 can call one of these functions.  The selection and configuration
       
  3452 of row filters can have a significant impact on the size and
       
  3453 encoding speed and a somewhat lesser impact on the decoding speed
       
  3454 of an image.  Filtering is enabled by default for RGB and grayscale
       
  3455 images (with and without alpha), but not for paletted images nor
       
  3456 for any images with bit depths less than 8 bits/pixel.
       
  3457 
       
  3458 The 'method' parameter sets the main filtering method, which is
       
  3459 currently only '0' in the PNG 1.2 specification.  The 'filters'
       
  3460 parameter sets which filter(s), if any, should be used for each
       
  3461 scanline.  Possible values are PNG_ALL_FILTERS and PNG_NO_FILTERS
       
  3462 to turn filtering on and off, respectively.
       
  3463 
       
  3464 Individual filter types are PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB,
       
  3465 PNG_FILTER_UP, PNG_FILTER_AVG, PNG_FILTER_PAETH, which can be bitwise
       
  3466 ORed together with '|' to specify one or more filters to use.
       
  3467 These filters are described in more detail in the PNG specification.
       
  3468 If you intend to change the filter type during the course of writing
       
  3469 the image, you should start with flags set for all of the filters
       
  3470 you intend to use so that libpng can initialize its internal
       
  3471 structures appropriately for all of the filter types.  (Note that this
       
  3472 means the first row must always be adaptively filtered, because libpng
       
  3473 currently does not allocate the filter buffers until png_write_row()
       
  3474 is called for the first time.)
       
  3475 
       
  3476     filters = PNG_FILTER_NONE | PNG_FILTER_SUB
       
  3477               PNG_FILTER_UP | PNG_FILTER_AVE |
       
  3478               PNG_FILTER_PAETH | PNG_ALL_FILTERS;
       
  3479 
       
  3480     png_set_filter(png_ptr, PNG_FILTER_TYPE_BASE,
       
  3481        filters);
       
  3482               The second parameter can also be
       
  3483               PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if you are
       
  3484               writing a PNG to be embedded in a MNG
       
  3485               datastream.  This parameter must be the
       
  3486               same as the value of filter_method used
       
  3487               in png_set_IHDR().
       
  3488 
       
  3489 It is also possible to influence how libpng chooses from among the
       
  3490 available filters.  This is done in one or both of two ways - by
       
  3491 telling it how important it is to keep the same filter for successive
       
  3492 rows, and by telling it the relative computational costs of the filters.
       
  3493 
       
  3494     double weights[3] = {1.5, 1.3, 1.1},
       
  3495        costs[PNG_FILTER_VALUE_LAST] =
       
  3496        {1.0, 1.3, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7};
       
  3497 
       
  3498     png_set_filter_heuristics(png_ptr,
       
  3499        PNG_FILTER_HEURISTIC_WEIGHTED, 3,
       
  3500        weights, costs);
       
  3501 
       
  3502 The weights are multiplying factors that indicate to libpng that the
       
  3503 row filter should be the same for successive rows unless another row filter
       
  3504 is that many times better than the previous filter.  In the above example,
       
  3505 if the previous 3 filters were SUB, SUB, NONE, the SUB filter could have a
       
  3506 "sum of absolute differences" 1.5 x 1.3 times higher than other filters
       
  3507 and still be chosen, while the NONE filter could have a sum 1.1 times
       
  3508 higher than other filters and still be chosen.  Unspecified weights are
       
  3509 taken to be 1.0, and the specified weights should probably be declining
       
  3510 like those above in order to emphasize recent filters over older filters.
       
  3511 
       
  3512 The filter costs specify for each filter type a relative decoding cost
       
  3513 to be considered when selecting row filters.  This means that filters
       
  3514 with higher costs are less likely to be chosen over filters with lower
       
  3515 costs, unless their "sum of absolute differences" is that much smaller.
       
  3516 The costs do not necessarily reflect the exact computational speeds of
       
  3517 the various filters, since this would unduly influence the final image
       
  3518 size.
       
  3519 
       
  3520 Note that the numbers above were invented purely for this example and
       
  3521 are given only to help explain the function usage.  Little testing has
       
  3522 been done to find optimum values for either the costs or the weights.
       
  3523 
       
  3524 .SS Removing unwanted object code
       
  3525 
       
  3526 There are a bunch of #define's in pngconf.h that control what parts of
       
  3527 libpng are compiled.  All the defines end in _SUPPORTED.  If you are
       
  3528 never going to use a capability, you can change the #define to #undef
       
  3529 before recompiling libpng and save yourself code and data space, or
       
  3530 you can turn off individual capabilities with defines that begin with
       
  3531 PNG_NO_.
       
  3532 
       
  3533 You can also turn all of the transforms and ancillary chunk capabilities
       
  3534 off en masse with compiler directives that define
       
  3535 PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS, or PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS,
       
  3536 or all four,
       
  3537 along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that you do
       
  3538 want.  The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable
       
  3539 the extra transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading
       
  3540 and writing PNG files with all known public chunks
       
  3541 Use of the PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive
       
  3542 produces a library that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks.
       
  3543 If you are not using the progressive reading capability, you can
       
  3544 turn that off with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse
       
  3545 this with the INTERLACING capability, which you'll still have).
       
  3546 
       
  3547 All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the
       
  3548 linker should only grab the files it needs.  However, if you want to
       
  3549 make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the
       
  3550 reading files start with pngr and all the writing files start with
       
  3551 pngw.  The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.)
       
  3552 are used for both reading and writing, and always need to be included.
       
  3553 The progressive reader is in pngpread.c
       
  3554 
       
  3555 If you are creating or distributing a dynamically linked library (a .so
       
  3556 or DLL file), you should not remove or disable any parts of the library,
       
  3557 as this will cause applications linked with different versions of the
       
  3558 library to fail if they call functions not available in your library.
       
  3559 The size of the library itself should not be an issue, because only
       
  3560 those sections that are actually used will be loaded into memory.
       
  3561 
       
  3562 .SS Requesting debug printout
       
  3563 
       
  3564 The macro definition PNG_DEBUG can be used to request debugging
       
  3565 printout.  Set it to an integer value in the range 0 to 3.  Higher
       
  3566 numbers result in increasing amounts of debugging information.  The
       
  3567 information is printed to the "stderr" file, unless another file
       
  3568 name is specified in the PNG_DEBUG_FILE macro definition.
       
  3569 
       
  3570 When PNG_DEBUG > 0, the following functions (macros) become available:
       
  3571 
       
  3572    png_debug(level, message)
       
  3573    png_debug1(level, message, p1)
       
  3574    png_debug2(level, message, p1, p2)
       
  3575 
       
  3576 in which "level" is compared to PNG_DEBUG to decide whether to print
       
  3577 the message, "message" is the formatted string to be printed,
       
  3578 and p1 and p2 are parameters that are to be embedded in the string
       
  3579 according to printf-style formatting directives.  For example,
       
  3580 
       
  3581    png_debug1(2, "foo=%d\n", foo);
       
  3582 
       
  3583 is expanded to
       
  3584 
       
  3585    if(PNG_DEBUG > 2)
       
  3586      fprintf(PNG_DEBUG_FILE, "foo=%d\n", foo);
       
  3587 
       
  3588 When PNG_DEBUG is defined but is zero, the macros aren't defined, but you
       
  3589 can still use PNG_DEBUG to control your own debugging:
       
  3590 
       
  3591    #ifdef PNG_DEBUG
       
  3592        fprintf(stderr, ...
       
  3593    #endif
       
  3594 
       
  3595 When PNG_DEBUG = 1, the macros are defined, but only png_debug statements
       
  3596 having level = 0 will be printed.  There aren't any such statements in
       
  3597 this version of libpng, but if you insert some they will be printed.
       
  3598 
       
  3599 .SH VII.  MNG support
       
  3600 
       
  3601 The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
       
  3602 certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
       
  3603 Libpng can support some of these extensions.  To enable them, use the
       
  3604 png_permit_mng_features() function:
       
  3605 
       
  3606    feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
       
  3607    mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
       
  3608         features you want to enable.  These include
       
  3609         PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
       
  3610         PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
       
  3611         PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
       
  3612    feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
       
  3613       your mask with the set of MNG features that is
       
  3614       supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
       
  3615 
       
  3616 It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
       
  3617 PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature.  The PNG datastream must be wrapped
       
  3618 in a MNG datastream.  As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
       
  3619 and the MHDR and MEND chunks.  Libpng does not provide support for these
       
  3620 or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
       
  3621 them.  You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
       
  3622 http://www.libmng.com) instead.
       
  3623 
       
  3624 .SH VIII.  Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
       
  3625 
       
  3626 It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
       
  3627 distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
       
  3628 Andreas Dilger, who had taken over from Guy during 1996 and 1997, and
       
  3629 distributed versions 0.89 through 0.96, but rather by another member
       
  3630 of the original PNG Group, Glenn Randers-Pehrson.  Guy and Andreas are
       
  3631 still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
       
  3632 
       
  3633 The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),
       
  3634 png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been
       
  3635 moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use.  These
       
  3636 functions will be removed from libpng version 2.0.0.
       
  3637 
       
  3638 The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
       
  3639 via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and
       
  3640 png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures
       
  3641 from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the
       
  3642 use of custom error handling routines during the initialization, which
       
  3643 the old functions do not.  The functions png_read_destroy() and
       
  3644 png_write_destroy() do not actually free the memory that libpng
       
  3645 allocated for these structs, but just reset the data structures, so they
       
  3646 can be used instead of png_destroy_read_struct() and
       
  3647 png_destroy_write_struct() if you feel there is too much system overhead
       
  3648 allocating and freeing the png_struct for each image read.
       
  3649 
       
  3650 Setting the error callbacks via png_set_message_fn() before
       
  3651 png_read_init() as was suggested in libpng-0.88 is no longer supported
       
  3652 because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions
       
  3653 to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero.  It is still possible
       
  3654 to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with
       
  3655 png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a new
       
  3656 name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use the old
       
  3657 method.
       
  3658 
       
  3659 Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library
       
  3660 you are using at run-time:
       
  3661 
       
  3662    png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number();
       
  3663 
       
  3664 The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor
       
  3665 version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero,
       
  3666 (e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007).
       
  3667 
       
  3668 You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your
       
  3669 application:
       
  3670 
       
  3671    png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER;
       
  3672 
       
  3673 .SH IX. Y2K Compliance in libpng
       
  3674 
       
  3675 September 18, 2008
       
  3676 
       
  3677 Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
       
  3678 an official declaration.
       
  3679 
       
  3680 This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
       
  3681 upward through 1.2.32 are Y2K compliant.  It is my belief that earlier
       
  3682 versions were also Y2K compliant.
       
  3683 
       
  3684 Libpng only has three year fields.  One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that
       
  3685 will hold years up to 65535.  The other two hold the date in text
       
  3686 format, and will hold years up to 9999.
       
  3687 
       
  3688 The integer is
       
  3689     "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
       
  3690 
       
  3691 The strings are
       
  3692     "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
       
  3693     "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.
       
  3694 
       
  3695 There are seven time-related functions:
       
  3696 
       
  3697     png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
       
  3698       (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error)
       
  3699     png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called
       
  3700       in pngwrite.c
       
  3701     png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
       
  3702     png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
       
  3703     png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
       
  3704     png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
       
  3705     png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
       
  3706 
       
  3707 All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment.  The
       
  3708 png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
       
  3709 clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
       
  3710 the full 4-digit year.  There is a possibility that applications using
       
  3711 libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
       
  3712 function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
       
  3713 instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
       
  3714 but this is not under our control.  The libpng documentation has always
       
  3715 stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
       
  3716 documented as such.
       
  3717 
       
  3718 The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant.  It uses a 2-byte unsigned
       
  3719 integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
       
  3720 
       
  3721 zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant.  It contains
       
  3722 no date-related code.

  3731 Note about libpng version numbers:
       
  3732 
       
  3733 Due to various miscommunications, unforeseen code incompatibilities
       
  3734 and occasional factors outside the authors' control, version numbering
       
  3735 on the library has not always been consistent and straightforward.
       
  3736 The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was
       
  3737 the first widely used release:

  3929 Henceforth the source version will match the shared-library minor
       
  3930 and patch numbers; the shared-library major version number will be
       
  3931 used for changes in backward compatibility, as it is intended.  The
       
  3932 PNG_PNGLIB_VER macro, which is not used within libpng but is available
       
  3933 for applications, is an unsigned integer of the form xyyzz corresponding
       
  3934 to the source version x.y.z (leading zeros in y and z).  Beta versions
       
  3935 were given the previous public release number plus a letter, until
       
  3936 version 1.0.6j; from then on they were given the upcoming public
       
  3937 release number plus "betaNN" or "rcN".
