Wojcik - December 18, 1995 & January 20, 1996 - -.SH I. Introduction - -This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library -(known as libpng) for your own use. There are five sections to this -file: introduction, structures, reading, writing, and modification and -configuration notes for various special platforms. In addition to this -file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as -it is heavily commented and should include everything most people -will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the -INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng. - -For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c", -and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in -the libpng distribution. - -Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way -of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG -file format in application programs. - -The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as -a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2003 (E)) at -<http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/ -The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content. - -The PNG-1.2 specification is available at -<http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>. It is technically equivalent -to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material. - -The PNG-1.0 specification is available -as RFC 2083 <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/> and as a -W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.html>. - -Some additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks -documents at <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>. - -Other information -about PNG, and the latest version of libpng, can be found at the PNG home -page, <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/>. - -Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced -users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as -complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand. -Currently, this library only supports C. Support for other languages -is being considered. - -Libpng has been designed to handle multiple sessions at one time, -to be easily modifiable, to be portable to the vast majority of -machines (ANSI, K&R, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) available, and to be easy -to use. The ultimate goal of libpng is to promote the acceptance of -the PNG file format in whatever way possible. While there is still -work to be done (see the TODO file), libpng should cover the -majority of the needs of its users. - -Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files. -Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can -be found at the zlib home page, <http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/>. -The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is -useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng. -See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details. -You can usually find the source files for the zlib utility wherever you -find the libpng source files. - -Libpng is thread safe, provided the threads are using different -instances of the structures. Each thread should have its own -png_struct and png_info instances, and thus its own image. -Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the -same instance of a structure. - -.SH II. Structures - -There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct -and png_info. The first, png_struct, is an internal structure that -will not, for the most part, be used by a user except as the first -variable passed to every libpng function call. - -The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the -PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be -directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems -with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result -a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*() -functions) was developed. The fields of png_info are still available for -older applications, but it is suggested that applications use the new -interfaces if at all possible. - -Applications that do make direct access to the members of png_struct (except -for png_ptr->jmpbuf) must be recompiled whenever the library is updated, -and applications that make direct access to the members of png_info must -be recompiled if they were compiled or loaded with libpng version 1.0.6, -in which the members were in a different order. In version 1.0.7, the -members of the png_info structure reverted to the old order, as they were -in versions 0.97c through 1.0.5. Starting with version 2.0.0, both -structures are going to be hidden, and the contents of the structures will -only be accessible through the png_get/png_set functions. - -The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng. -And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file: - -#include <png.h> - -.SH III. Reading - -We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading -in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose -of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While -progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still -need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG -file. - -.SS Setup - -You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng, -so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you -will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG -file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file. -To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function -png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the -corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise. -Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the -prediction. - -If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng, -you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning -of the file, and you also have to make a call to png_set_sig_bytes_read() -with the number of bytes you read from the beginning. Libpng will -then only check the bytes (if any) that your program didn't read. - -(*): If you are not using the standard I/O functions, you will need -to replace them with custom functions. See the discussion under -Customizing libpng. - - - FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb"); - if (!fp) - { - return (ERROR); - } - fread(header, 1, number, fp); - is_png = !png_sig_cmp(header, 0, number); - if (!is_png) - { - return (NOT_PNG); - } - - -Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized. In -order to ensure that the size of these structures is correct even with a -dynamically linked libpng, there are functions to initialize and -allocate the structures. We also pass the library version, optional -pointers to error handling functions, and a pointer to a data struct for -use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can -be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section -on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions. -The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to -create the structure, so your application should check for that. - - png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct - (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr, - user_error_fn, user_warning_fn); - if (!png_ptr) - return (ERROR); - - png_infop info_ptr = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr); - if (!info_ptr) - { - png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, - (png_infopp)NULL, (png_infopp)NULL); - return (ERROR); - } - - png_infop end_info = png_create_info_struct(png_ptr); - if (!end_info) - { - png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr, - (png_infopp)NULL); - return (ERROR); - } - -If you want to use your own memory allocation routines, -define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use -png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct(): - - png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2 - (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr, - user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp) - user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn); - -The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct() -and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2() -are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error -handling and memory alloc/free functions. - -When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back -to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass -your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different -routines, you will need to update the jmpbuf field every time you enter -a new routine that will call a png_*() function. - -See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more -information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error -handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information -on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's -back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to -free any memory. - - if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr))) - { - png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr, - &end_info); - fclose(fp); - return (ERROR); - } - -If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues, -you can compile libpng with PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case -errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort(). - -Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to -use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a -valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is -opened in binary mode. If you wish to handle reading data in another -way, you need not call the png_init_io() function, but you must then -implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng -section below. - - png_init_io(png_ptr, fp); - -If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from -the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let -libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file. - - png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number); - -.SS Setting up callback code - -You can set up a callback function to handle any unknown chunks in the -input stream. You must supply the function - - read_chunk_callback(png_ptr ptr, - png_unknown_chunkp chunk); - { - /* The unknown chunk structure contains your - chunk data, along with similar data for any other - unknown chunks: */ - - png_byte name[5]; - png_byte *data; - png_size_t size; - - /* Note that libpng has already taken care of - the CRC handling */ - - /* put your code here.

This behavior can be changed with the -png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below. - -At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be -called after each row has been read, which you can use to control -a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c. -You must supply a function - - void read_row_callback(png_ptr ptr, png_uint_32 row, - int pass); - { - /* put your code here */ - } - -(You can give it another name that you like instead of "read_row_callback") - -To inform libpng about your function, use - - png_set_read_status_fn(png_ptr, read_row_callback); - -.SS Unknown-chunk handling - -Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the -input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal -behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in -various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This -behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known -chunk types. To change this, you can call: - - png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep, - chunk_list, num_chunks); - keep - 0: default unknown chunk handling - 1: ignore; do not keep - 2: keep only if safe-to-copy - 3: keep even if unsafe-to-copy - You can use these definitions: - PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT 0 - PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1 - PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2 - PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3 - chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string, - five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if - num_chunks is 0) - num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all - unknown chunks are affected.

This will be -mentioned again below in the discussion that goes with png_read_end(). - -.SS Input transformations - -After you've read the header information, you can set up the library -to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various -ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they -should occur.

Even though each transformation -checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should -make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the -data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data. - -The colors used for the background and transparency values should be -supplied in the same format/depth as the current image data. They -are stored in the same format/depth as the image data in a bKGD or tRNS -chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data. The colors are -transformed to keep in sync with the image data when an application -calls the png_read_update_info() routine (see below). - -Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes -unless the library has been told to transform it into another format. -For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned -2 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the -byte, unless png_set_packing() is called. 8-bit RGB data will be stored -in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha() -is called to insert filler bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet. -16-bit RGB data will be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant -byte of the color value first, unless png_set_strip_16() is called to -transform it to regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() or -png_set_add alpha() is called to insert filler bytes, either before or -after each RRGGBB triplet. Similarly, 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can -be modified with -png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), or png_set_strip_16(). - -The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits, -changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is -transparency information in a tRNS chunk.

If there is no interlacing (check -interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_NONE), this is simple: - - png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL, - number_of_rows); - -where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call. - -If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with -a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers: - - png_bytep row_pointer = row; - png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL); - -If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things -get somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2) -interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7) -is a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that -breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based -on an 8x8 grid. - -libpng can fill out those images or it can give them to you "as is". -If you want them filled out, there are two ways to do that. The one -mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover -those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method). -This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually -smooths out as more pixels are read. The other method is the "sparkle" -method, where pixels are drawn only in their final locations, with the -rest of the image remaining whatever colors they were initialized to -before the start of the read. The first method usually looks better, -but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows. - -If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call -png_read_rows() seven times to read in all seven images. Each of the -images is a valid image by itself, or they can all be combined on an -8x8 grid to form a single image (although if you intend to combine them -you would be far better off using the libpng interlace handling). - -The first pass will return an image 1/8 as wide as the entire image -(every 8th column starting in column 0) and 1/8 as high as the original -(every 8th row starting in row 0), the second will be 1/8 as wide -(starting in column 4) and 1/8 as high (also starting in row 0). The -third pass will be 1/4 as wide (every 4th pixel starting in column 0) and -1/8 as high (every 8th row starting in row 4), and the fourth pass will -be 1/4 as wide and 1/4 as high (every 4th column starting in column 2, -and every 4th row starting in row 0). The fifth pass will return an -image 1/2 as wide, and 1/4 as high (starting at column 0 and row 2), -while the sixth pass will be 1/2 as wide and 1/2 as high as the original -(starting in column 1 and row 0). The seventh and final pass will be as -wide as the original, and 1/2 as high, containing all of the odd -numbered scanlines. Phew! - -If you want libpng to expand the images, call this before calling -png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info(): - - if (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7) - number_of_passes - = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr); - -This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this -is seven, but may change if another interlace type is added. -This function can be called even if the file is not interlaced, -where it will return one pass. - -If you are not going to display the image after each pass, but are -going to wait until the entire image is read in, use the sparkle -effect. This effect is faster and the end result of either method -is exactly the same. If you are planning on displaying the image -after each pass, the "rectangle" effect is generally considered the -better looking one. - -If you only want the "sparkle" effect, just call png_read_rows() as -normal, with the third parameter NULL. Make sure you make pass over -the image number_of_passes times, and you don't change the data in the -rows between calls. You can change the locations of the data, just -not the data.

If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items -are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or -sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq". - -The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally -by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data, -or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc() -or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with - - png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask) - mask - which data elements are affected - same choices as in png_free_data() - freer - one of - PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA - PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA - PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA - -This function only affects data that has already been allocated. -You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling -any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*() -function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present, -and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user -or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes -responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use -png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng -for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc() -or png_zalloc() to allocate it. - -If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in -the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer -responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function, -because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i]. - -If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword -separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng, -because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with -the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key.

Keywords should be short -simple descriptions of what the comment is about. Some typical -keywords are found in the PNG specification, as is some recommendations -on keywords. You can repeat keywords in a file. You can even write -some text before the image and some after. For example, you may want -to put a description of the image before the image, but leave the -disclaimer until after, so viewers working over modem connections -don't have to wait for the disclaimer to go over the modem before -they start seeing the image. Finally, keywords should be full -words, not abbreviations. Keywords and text are in the ISO 8859-1 -(Latin-1) character set (a superset of regular ASCII) and can not -contain NUL characters, and should not contain control or other -unprintable characters. To make the comments widely readable, stick -with basic ASCII, and avoid machine specific character set extensions -like the IBM-PC character set. The keyword must be present, but -you can leave off the text string on non-compressed pairs. -Compressed pairs must have a text string, as only the text string -is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless. - -PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two -conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for -time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The -time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of -these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly, -you should provide the time in universal time (GMT) if possible -instead of your local time. Note that the year number is the full -year (e.g. 1998, rather than 98 - PNG is year 2000 compliant!), and -that months start with 1. - -If you want to store the time of the original image creation, you should -use a plain tEXt chunk with the "Creation Time" keyword. This is -necessary because the "creation time" of a PNG image is somewhat vague, -depending on whether you mean the PNG file, the time the image was -created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was -scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate -machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time" -tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"), -although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the -"Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed -by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function -png_convert_to_rfc1123(png_timep) is provided to convert from PNG -time to an RFC 1123 format string. - -.SS Writing unknown chunks - -You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks -for writing. You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's -all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the next following -png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function. -Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk -list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG -specification's ordering rules. - -.SS The high-level write interface - -At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level -write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations. -You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present -in the info structure.

This call is equivalent to png_write_info(), -followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask, -then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end(). - -(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point -to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.) - -You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions -when you use png_write_png(). - -.SS The low-level write interface - -If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to -write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do -this with a call to png_write_info(). - - png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr); - -Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before -png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the -level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency, -you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is -fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 -(in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with - - png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr); - -This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the -other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS -chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If -your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases -represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to -be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your -png_write_info() call. - -If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before -the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in -two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them: - - png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr); - png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...); - png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr); - -After you've written the file information, you can set up the library -to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various -ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they -should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color -type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on -certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation -checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should -make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the -data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data. - -PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes.

This code would be used if the pixels are supplied with this reversed -(black being one and white being zero): - - png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr); - -Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of -the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback -with - - png_set_write_user_transform_fn(png_ptr, - write_transform_fn); - -You must supply the function - - void write_transform_fn(png_ptr ptr, row_info_ptr - row_info, png_bytep data) - -See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called -before any of the other transformations are processed. - -You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your -callback function. - - png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0); - -The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored -when writing; you can set them to zero as shown. - -You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr(). -For example: - - voidp write_user_transform_ptr = - png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr); - -It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually, -or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To -flush the output stream a single time call: - - png_write_flush(png_ptr); - -and to have libpng flush the output stream periodically after a certain -number of scanlines have been written, call: - - png_set_flush(png_ptr, nrows); - -Note that the distance between rows is from the last time png_write_flush() -was called, or the first row of the image if it has never been called. -So if you write 50 lines, and then png_set_flush 25, it will flush the -output on the next scanline, and every 25 lines thereafter, unless -png_write_flush() is called before 25 more lines have been written. -If nrows is too small (less than about 10 lines for a 640 pixel wide -RGB image) the image compression may decrease noticeably (although this -may be acceptable for real-time applications). Infrequent flushing will -only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images -that do not use flushing. - -.SS Writing the image data - -That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data. -The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the -whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng -will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to -each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't -need to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple -times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_write_rows(). - - png_write_image(png_ptr, row_pointers); - -where row_pointers is: - - png_byte *row_pointers[height]; - -You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels. - -If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can -use png_write_rows() instead. If the file is not interlaced, -this is simple: - - png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, - number_of_rows); - -row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call. - -If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with -a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers: - - png_bytep row_pointer = row; - - png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer); - -When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more complicated. -The only currently (as of the PNG Specification version 1.2, dated July -1999) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files is the "Adam7" interlace -scheme, that breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying -size. libpng will build these images for you, or you can do them -yourself. If you want to build them yourself, see the PNG specification -for details of which pixels to write when. - -If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just -use png_set_interlace_handling() and call png_write_rows() the -correct number of times to write all seven sub-images. - -If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start -writing any rows: - - number_of_passes = - png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr); - -This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven, -but may change if another interlace type is added. - -Then write the complete image number_of_passes times. - - png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, - number_of_rows); - -As some of these rows are not used, and thus return immediately, you may -want to read about interlacing in the PNG specification, and only update -the rows that are actually used. - -.SS Finishing a sequential write - -After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing -the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should -pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer. If you are not interested, -you can pass NULL. - - png_write_end(png_ptr, info_ptr); - -When you are done, you can free all memory used by libpng like this: - - png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr); - -It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that -point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function: - - png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq) - mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask - containing the bitwise OR of one or - more of - PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS, - PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP, - PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS, - PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT, - PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN, - or simply PNG_FREE_ALL - seq - sequence number of item to be freed - (-1 for all items) - -This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has -already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated -by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing. -The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data -type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items -are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or -sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq". - -If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng -with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to -png_destroy_write_struct(). - -The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally -by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data, -or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc() -or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with - - png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask) - mask - which data elements are affected - same choices as in png_free_data() - freer - one of - PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA - PNG_SET_WILL_FREE_DATA - PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA - -For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure -to a write structure, you could use - - png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr, - PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA, - PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST) - png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr, - PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA, - PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST) - -thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but -immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy -function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read -structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write -structure. - -This function only affects data that has already been allocated. -You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions -to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. -When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the -application must use -png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng -for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc() -or png_zalloc() to allocate it. - -If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword -separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng, -because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with -the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly, -if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your -application, your application must not separately free those members. -For a more compact example of writing a PNG image, see the file example.c. - -.SH V. Modifying/Customizing libpng: - -There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does -standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling. -The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks, -adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works. -Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally -determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need -to provide the user with a means of changing them. - -Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling - -All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng -goes through callbacks that are user-settable. The default routines are -in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively. To change -these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function. - -Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(), -and png_free(). These currently just call the standard C functions. -png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then png_memset() to clear the newly -allocated memory to zero. If your pointers can't access more then 64K -at a time, you will want to set MAXSEG_64K in zlib.h. Since it is -unlikely that the method of handling memory allocation on a platform -will change between applications, these functions must be modified in -the library at compile time. If you prefer to use a different method -of allocating and freeing data, you can use png_create_read_struct_2() or -png_create_write_struct_2() to register your own functions as described -above. These functions also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved -via - - mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr); - -Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows: - - png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr, - png_size_t size); - void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr); - -Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc() -function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the -system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn(). - -Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's -png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn(). - -Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(), -which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in -png_struct and is initialized via png_init_io(). If you wish to change -the method of I/O, the library supplies callbacks that you can set -through the function png_set_read_fn() and png_set_write_fn() at run -time, instead of calling the png_init_io() function. These functions -also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function -png_get_io_ptr(). For example: - - png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr, - voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn) - - png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr, - voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn, - png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn); - - voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr); - voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr); - -The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows: - - void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr, - png_bytep data, png_size_t length); - void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr, - png_bytep data, png_size_t length); - void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr); - -The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and -handling end-of-data errors. - -Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back -to using the default C stream functions, which expect the io_ptr to -point to a standard *FILE structure. It is probably a mistake -to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both -of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined. -It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa. - -Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning(). -Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error() -should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via -setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with -PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()), -but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish. - -On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called -to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code. -By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via -fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined -(because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because -fprintf() isn't available). If you wish to change the behavior of the error -functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks. These -functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created. -It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement -functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling: - - png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr, - png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn, - png_error_ptr warning_fn); - - png_voidp error_ptr = png_get_error_ptr(png_ptr); - -If NULL is supplied for either error_fn or warning_fn, then the libpng -default function will be used, calling fprintf() and/or longjmp() if a -problem is encountered. The replacement error functions should have -parameters as follows: - - void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr, - png_const_charp error_msg); - void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr, - png_const_charp warning_msg); - -The motivation behind using setjmp() and longjmp() is the C++ throw and -catch exception handling methods. This makes the code much easier to write, -as there is no need to check every return code of every function call. -However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables -after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything -after setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself. Consult your -compiler documentation for more details. For an alternative approach, you -may wish to use the "cexcept" facility (see http://cexcept.sourceforge.net). - -.SS Custom chunks - -If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper -into the libpng code. The library now has mechanisms for storing -and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks -for custom chunks. However, this may not be good enough if the -library code itself needs to know about interactions between your -chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks. - -If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG -specification. Acquire a first level of understanding of how it works. -Pay particular attention to the sections that describe chunk names, -and look at how other chunks were designed, so you can do things -similarly. Second, check out the sections of libpng that read and -write chunks. Try to find a chunk that is similar to yours and use -it as a template. More details can be found in the comments inside -the code. It is best to handle unknown chunks in a generic method, -via callback functions, instead of by modifying libpng functions. - -If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through -the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of -the simpler ones to get an idea of how they work. Try to find a similar -transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it. More details -can be found in the comments inside the code itself. - -.SS Configuring for 16 bit platforms - -You will want to look into zconf.h to tell zlib (and thus libpng) that -it cannot allocate more then 64K at a time. Even if you can, the memory -won't be accessible. So limit zlib and libpng to 64K by defining MAXSEG_64K. - -.SS Configuring for DOS - -For DOS users who only have access to the lower 640K, you will -have to limit zlib's memory usage via a png_set_compression_mem_level() -call. See zlib.h or zconf.h in the zlib library for more information. - -.SS Configuring for Medium Model - -Libpng's support for medium model has been tested on most of the popular -compilers. Make sure MAXSEG_64K gets defined, USE_FAR_KEYWORD gets -defined, and FAR gets defined to far in pngconf.h, and you should be -all set. Everything in the library (except for zlib's structure) is -expecting far data. You must use the typedefs with the p or pp on -the end for pointers (or at least look at them and be careful). Make -note that the rows of data are defined as png_bytepp, which is an -unsigned char far * far *. - -.SS Configuring for gui/windowing platforms: - -You will need to write new error and warning functions that use the GUI -interface, as described previously, and set them to be the error and -warning functions at the time that png_create_*_struct() is called, -in order to have them available during the structure initialization. -They can be changed later via png_set_error_fn(). On some compilers, -you may also have to change the memory allocators (png_malloc, etc.). - -.SS Configuring for compiler xxx: - -All includes for libpng are in pngconf.h. If you need to add, change -or delete an include, this is the place to do it. -The includes that are not needed outside libpng are protected by the -PNG_INTERNAL definition, which is only defined for those routines inside -libpng itself. The files in libpng proper only include png.h, which -includes pngconf.h. - -.SS Configuring zlib: - -There are special functions to configure the compression. Perhaps the -most useful one changes the compression level, which currently uses -input compression values in the range 0 - 9. The library normally -uses the default compression level (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = 6). Tests -have shown that for a large majority of images, compression values in -the range 3-6 compress nearly as well as higher levels, and do so much -faster. For online applications it may be desirable to have maximum speed -(Z_BEST_SPEED = 1). With versions of zlib after v0.99, you can also -specify no compression (Z_NO_COMPRESSION = 0), but this would create -files larger than just storing the raw bitmap. You can specify the -compression level by calling: - - png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level); - -Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library. -The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are -short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K). -Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among -other things, lower levels will result in sections of incompressible -data being emitted in smaller stored blocks, with a correspondingly -larger relative overhead of up to 15% in the worst case. - - png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level); - -The other functions are for configuring zlib. They are not recommended -for normal use and may result in writing an invalid PNG file. See -zlib.h for more information on what these mean. - - png_set_compression_strategy(png_ptr, - strategy); - png_set_compression_window_bits(png_ptr, - window_bits); - png_set_compression_method(png_ptr, method); - png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, size); - -.SS Controlling row filtering - -If you want to control whether libpng uses filtering or not, which -filters are used, and how it goes about picking row filters, you -can call one of these functions. The selection and configuration -of row filters can have a significant impact on the size and -encoding speed and a somewhat lesser impact on the decoding speed -of an image. Filtering is enabled by default for RGB and grayscale -images (with and without alpha), but not for paletted images nor -for any images with bit depths less than 8 bits/pixel. - -The 'method' parameter sets the main filtering method, which is -currently only '0' in the PNG 1.2 specification. The 'filters' -parameter sets which filter(s), if any, should be used for each -scanline. Possible values are PNG_ALL_FILTERS and PNG_NO_FILTERS -to turn filtering on and off, respectively. - -Individual filter types are PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB, -PNG_FILTER_UP, PNG_FILTER_AVG, PNG_FILTER_PAETH, which can be bitwise -ORed together with '|' to specify one or more filters to use. -These filters are described in more detail in the PNG specification. -If you intend to change the filter type during the course of writing -the image, you should start with flags set for all of the filters -you intend to use so that libpng can initialize its internal -structures appropriately for all of the filter types. (Note that this -means the first row must always be adaptively filtered, because libpng -currently does not allocate the filter buffers until png_write_row() -is called for the first time.) - - filters = PNG_FILTER_NONE | PNG_FILTER_SUB - PNG_FILTER_UP | PNG_FILTER_AVG | - PNG_FILTER_PAETH | PNG_ALL_FILTERS; - - png_set_filter(png_ptr, PNG_FILTER_TYPE_BASE, - filters); - The second parameter can also be - PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if you are - writing a PNG to be embedded in a MNG - datastream. This parameter must be the - same as the value of filter_method used - in png_set_IHDR(). - -It is also possible to influence how libpng chooses from among the -available filters. This is done in one or both of two ways - by -telling it how important it is to keep the same filter for successive -rows, and by telling it the relative computational costs of the filters. - - double weights[3] = {1.5, 1.3, 1.1}, - costs[PNG_FILTER_VALUE_LAST] = - {1.0, 1.3, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7}; - - png_set_filter_heuristics(png_ptr, - PNG_FILTER_HEURISTIC_WEIGHTED, 3, - weights, costs); - -The weights are multiplying factors that indicate to libpng that the -row filter should be the same for successive rows unless another row filter -is that many times better than the previous filter. In the above example, -if the previous 3 filters were SUB, SUB, NONE, the SUB filter could have a -"sum of absolute differences" 1.5 x 1.3 times higher than other filters -and still be chosen, while the NONE filter could have a sum 1.1 times -higher than other filters and still be chosen. Unspecified weights are -taken to be 1.0, and the specified weights should probably be declining -like those above in order to emphasize recent filters over older filters. - -The filter costs specify for each filter type a relative decoding cost -to be considered when selecting row filters. This means that filters -with higher costs are less likely to be chosen over filters with lower -costs, unless their "sum of absolute differences" is that much smaller. -The costs do not necessarily reflect the exact computational speeds of -the various filters, since this would unduly influence the final image -size. - -Note that the numbers above were invented purely for this example and -are given only to help explain the function usage. Little testing has -been done to find optimum values for either the costs or the weights. - -.SS Removing unwanted object code - -There are a bunch of #define's in pngconf.h that control what parts of -libpng are compiled. All the defines end in _SUPPORTED. If you are -never going to use a capability, you can change the #define to #undef -before recompiling libpng and save yourself code and data space, or -you can turn off individual capabilities with defines that begin with -PNG_NO_. - -You can also turn all of the transforms and ancillary chunk capabilities -off en masse with compiler directives that define -PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS, or PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS, -or all four, -along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that you do -want. The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable the extra -transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading -and writing PNG files with all known public chunks. Use of the -PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive produces a library -that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks. If you are -not using the progressive reading capability, you can turn that off -with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse this with the INTERLACING -capability, which you'll still have). - -All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the -linker should only grab the files it needs. However, if you want to -make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the -reading files start with pngr and all the writing files start with -pngw. The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.) -are used for both reading and writing, and always need to be included. -The progressive reader is in pngpread.c - -If you are creating or distributing a dynamically linked library (a .so -or DLL file), you should not remove or disable any parts of the library, -as this will cause applications linked with different versions of the -library to fail if they call functions not available in your library. -The size of the library itself should not be an issue, because only -those sections that are actually used will be loaded into memory. - -.SS Requesting debug printout - -The macro definition PNG_DEBUG can be used to request debugging -printout. Set it to an integer value in the range 0 to 3. Higher -numbers result in increasing amounts of debugging information. The -information is printed to the "stderr" file, unless another file -name is specified in the PNG_DEBUG_FILE macro definition. - -When PNG_DEBUG > 0, the following functions (macros) become available: - - png_debug(level, message) - png_debug1(level, message, p1) - png_debug2(level, message, p1, p2) - -in which "level" is compared to PNG_DEBUG to decide whether to print -the message, "message" is the formatted string to be printed, -and p1 and p2 are parameters that are to be embedded in the string -according to printf-style formatting directives. For example, - - png_debug1(2, "foo=%d\n", foo); - -is expanded to - - if(PNG_DEBUG > 2) - fprintf(PNG_DEBUG_FILE, "foo=%d\n", foo); - -When PNG_DEBUG is defined but is zero, the macros aren't defined, but you -can still use PNG_DEBUG to control your own debugging: - - #ifdef PNG_DEBUG - fprintf(stderr, ... - #endif - -When PNG_DEBUG = 1, the macros are defined, but only png_debug statements -having level = 0 will be printed. There aren't any such statements in -this version of libpng, but if you insert some they will be printed. - -.SH VI. MNG support - -The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows -certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams. -Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the -png_permit_mng_features() function: - - feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask) - mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the - features you want to enable. These include - PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE - PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64 - PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES - feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of - your mask with the set of MNG features that is - supported by the version of libpng that you are using. - -It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone -PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped -in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature -and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these -or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for -them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at -http://www.libmng.com) instead. - -.SH VII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88 - -It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not -distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by -Andreas Dilger, who had taken over from Guy during 1996 and 1997, and -distributed versions 0.89 through 0.96, but rather by another member -of the original PNG Group, Glenn Randers-Pehrson. Guy and Andreas are -still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things. - -The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(), -png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been -moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. These -functions will be removed from libpng version 2.0.0. - -The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is -via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and -png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures -from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the -use of custom error handling routines during the initialization, which -the old functions do not. The functions png_read_destroy() and -png_write_destroy() do not actually free the memory that libpng -allocated for these structs, but just reset the data structures, so they -can be used instead of png_destroy_read_struct() and -png_destroy_write_struct() if you feel there is too much system overhead -allocating and freeing the png_struct for each image read. - -Setting the error callbacks via png_set_message_fn() before -png_read_init() as was suggested in libpng-0.88 is no longer supported -because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions -to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero. It is still possible -to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with -png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a new -name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use the old -method. - -Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library -you are using at run-time: - - png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number(); - -The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor -version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero, -(e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007). - -You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your -application: - - png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER; - -.SH VIII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x to 1.2.x - -Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To -accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(), -png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(), -png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added. - -Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of -version 1.2.41. - -Support for certain MNG features was enabled. - -Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got -around to actually numbering the error messages. The function -png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this -function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE -builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36). - -The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues -a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to -acquire the requested memory allocation. - -Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled -by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(), -and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6. - -The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7. - -The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9. -Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the -tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is -deprecated. - -A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of -assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were -added at libpng-1.2.0: - - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG - PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH - PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED - PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS - PNG_MMX_FLAGS - PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS - PNG_MMX_FLAGS - -We added the following functions in support of runtime -selection of assembler code features: - - png_get_mmx_flagmask() - png_set_mmx_thresholds() - png_get_asm_flags() - png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold() - png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold() - png_set_asm_flags() - -We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20, -when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue. - -These macros are deprecated: - - PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED - PNG_PROGRESSIVE_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED - PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ_SUPPORTED - PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED - PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED - PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED - -They have been replaced, respectively, by: - - PNG_NO_READ_TRANSFORMS - PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ - PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ - PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS - PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS - PNG_NO_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS - -PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been -deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6. - -The function - png_check_sig(sig, num) -was replaced with - !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num) -It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90. - -The function - png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() -which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with - png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() -which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9. - -.SH IX. (Omitted) - - -.SH X. Detecting libpng - -The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never -changed, and is unaffected by conditional compilation macros. It is the -best choice for use in configure scripts for detecting the presence of any -libpng version since 0.88. In an autoconf "configure.in" you could use - - AC_CHECK_LIB(png, png_get_io_ptr, ... - -.SH XI. Source code repository - -Since about February 2009, version 1.2.34, libpng has been under "git" source -control. The git repository was built from old libpng-x.y.z.tar.gz files -going back to version 0.70. You can access the git repository (read only) -at - - git://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libpng - -or you can browse it via "gitweb" at - - http://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libpng - -Patches can be sent to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net or to -png-mng-implement at lists.sourceforge.net or you can upload them to -the libpng bug tracker at - - http://libpng.sourceforge.net - -.SH XII. Coding style - -Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style, with curly -braces on separate lines: - - if (condition) - { - action; - } - - else if (another condition) - { - another action; - } - -The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions: - - if (condition) - return (0); - -We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which -are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement -plus four more spaces. - -For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#" -in the first column. - - #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE - # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED - # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED - # endif - #endif - -Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as -the statement that follows the comment: - - /* Single-line comment */ - statement; - - /* Multiple-line - * comment - */ - statement; - -Very short comments can be placed at the end of the statement -to which they pertain: - - statement; /* comment */ - -We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however, -used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler -code. - -Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and -exported functions are marked with PNGAPI: - - /* This is a public function that is visible to - * application programers. It does thus-and-so. - */ - void PNGAPI - png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo) - { - body; - } - -The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h, -above the comment that says - - /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */ - -We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"": - - void /* PRIVATE */ - png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo) - { - body; - } - -The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in -pngtest) appear in -the PNG_INTERNAL section of png.h -above the comment that says - - /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ and in libpngpf.3 */ - -The names of all exported functions and variables begin -with "png_", and all publicly visible C preprocessor -macros begin with "PNG_". - -We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon -in "for" statments, and we put spaces before and after each -C binary operator and after "for" or "while". We don't -put a space between a typecast and the expression being -cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the -left parenthesis that follows it: - - for (i = 2; i > 0; --i) - y[i] = a(x) + (int)b; - -We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and if !defined() -when there is only one macro being tested. - -We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources. - -Lines do not exceed 80 characters. - -Other rules can be inferred by inspecting the libpng source. - -.SH XIII. Y2K Compliance in libpng - -June 26, 2010 - -Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make -an official declaration. - -This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and -upward through 1.2.44 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier -versions were also Y2K compliant. - -Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that -will hold years up to 65535. The other two hold the date in text -format, and will hold years up to 9999. - -The integer is - "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct. - -The strings are - "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and - "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c. - -There are seven time-related functions: - - png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c - (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error) - png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called - in pngwrite.c - png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c - png_get_tIME() in pngget.c - png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c - png_set_tIME() in pngset.c - png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c - -All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The -png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system -clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to -the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using -libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123() -function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year -instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function, -but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always -stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been -documented as such. - -The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned -integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535. - -zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains -no date-related code. - - - Glenn Randers-Pehrson - libpng maintainer - PNG Development Group - -.SH NOTE - -Note about libpng version numbers: - -Due to various miscommunications, unforeseen code incompatibilities -and occasional factors outside the authors' control, version numbering -on the library has not always been consistent and straightforward. -The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was -the first widely used release: -
