950.SH I. Introduction
951
952This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library
953(known as libpng) for your own use. There are five sections to this
954file: introduction, structures, reading, writing, and modification and
955configuration notes for various special platforms. In addition to this
956file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as
957it is heavily commented and should include everything most people
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -0600958will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
959INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -0600960
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500961For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c",
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -0600962and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in
963the libpng distribution.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500964
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -0600965Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
966of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -0500967file format in application programs.
968
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -0500969The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as
970a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2003 (E)) at
971<http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/
972The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.
973
974The PNG-1.2 specification is available at
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500975<http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>. It is technically equivalent
976to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -0500977
978The PNG-1.0 specification is available
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -0500979as RFC 2083 <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/> and as a
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500980W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.html>.
981
982Some additional chunks are described in the special-purpose public chunks

985Other information
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -0600986about PNG, and the latest version of libpng, can be found at the PNG home

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -0600988
989Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
990users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as
991complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand.
992Currently, this library only supports C. Support for other languages
993is being considered.
994
995Libpng has been designed to handle multiple sessions at one time,
996to be easily modifiable, to be portable to the vast majority of
997machines (ANSI, K&R, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) available, and to be easy
998to use. The ultimate goal of libpng is to promote the acceptance of
999the PNG file format in whatever way possible. While there is still
1000work to be done (see the TODO file), libpng should cover the
1001majority of the needs of its users.
1002
1003Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06001004Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond56aca72000-11-23 11:51:42 -06001005be found at the zlib home page, <http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/>.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001006The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
1007useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
1008See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
1009You can usually find the source files for the zlib utility wherever you
1010find the libpng source files.
1011
1012Libpng is thread safe, provided the threads are using different
1013instances of the structures. Each thread should have its own
1014png_struct and png_info instances, and thus its own image.
1015Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson56f63962008-10-06 10:16:17 -05001016same instance of a structure.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001017
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001018.SH II. Structures
1019
1020There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001021and png_info. Both are internal structures that are no longer exposed
1022in the libpng interface (as of libpng 1.5.0).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001023
1024The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the
1025PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
1026directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems
1027with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05001028a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001029functions) was developed.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05001030
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001031The png_struct structure is the object used by the library to decode a
1032single image. As of 1.5.0 this structure is also not exposed.
1033
1034Almost all libpng APIs require a pointer to a png_struct as the first argument.
1035Many (in particular the png_set and png_get APIs) also require a pointer
1036to png_info as the second argument. Some application visible macros
1037defined in png.h designed for basic data access (reading and writing
1038integers in the PNG format) break this rule, but it's almost always safe
1039to assume that a (png_struct*) has to be passed to call an API function.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001040
1041The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
1042And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
1043
1044#include <png.h>
1045
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001046.SS Types
1047
1048The png.h header file defines a number of integral types used by the
1049APIs. Most of these are fairly obvious; for example types corresponding
1050to integers of particular sizes and types for passing color values.
1051
1052One exception is how non-integral numbers are handled. For application
1053convenience most APIs that take such numbers have C (double) arguments,
1054however internally PNG, and libpng, use 32 bit signed integers and encode
1055the value by multiplying by 100,000. As of libpng 1.5.0 a convenience
1056macro PNG_FP_1 is defined in png.h along with a type (png_fixed_point)
1057which is simply (png_int_32).
1058
1059All APIs that take (double) arguments also have an matching API that
1060takes the corresponding fixed point integer arguments. The fixed point
1061API has the same name as the floating point one with _fixed appended.
1062The actual range of values permitted in the APIs is frequently less than
1063the full range of (png_fixed_point) (-21474 to +21474). When APIs require
1064a non-negative argument the type is recorded as png_uint_32 above. Consult
1065the header file and the text below for more information.
1066
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06001067Special care must be take with sCAL chunk handling because the chunk itself
1068uses non-integral values encoded as strings containing decimal floating point
1069numbers. See the comments in the header file.
1070
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001071.SS Configuration
1072
1073The main header file function declarations are frequently protected by C
1074preprocessing directives of the form:
1075
1076 #ifdef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
1077 declare-function
1078 #endif
1079
1080The library can be built without support for these APIs, although a
1081standard build will have all implemented APIs. Application programs
1082should check the feature macros before using an API for maximum
1083portability. From libpng 1.5.0 the feature macros set during the build
1084of libpng are recorded in the header file "pnglibconf.h" and this file
1085is always included by png.h.
1086
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06001087If you don't need to change the library configuration from the default skip to
1088the next section ("Reading").
1089
1090Notice that some of the makefiles in the 'scripts' directory and (in 1.5.0) all
1091of the build project files in the 'projects' directory simply copy
1092scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to pnglibconf.h. This means that these build
1093systems do not permit easy auto-configuration of the library - they only
1094support the default configuration.
1095
1096The easiest way to make minor changes to the libpng configuration when
1097auto-configuration is supported is to add definitions to the command line
1098using (typically) CPPFLAGS. For example:
1099
1100CPPFLAGS=-DPNG_NO_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC
1101
1102will change the internal libpng math implementation for gamma correction and
1103other arithmetic calculations to fixed point, avoiding the need for fast
1104floating point support. The result can be seen in the generated pnglibconf.h -
1105make sure it contains the changed feature macro setting.
1106
1107If you need to make more extensive configuration changes - more than one or two
1108feature macro settings - you can either add -DPNG_USER_CONFIG to the build
1109command line and put a list of feature macro settings in pngusr.h or you can set
1110DFA_XTRA (a makefile variable) to a file containing the same information in the
1111form of 'option' settings.
1112
1113A. Changing pnglibconf.h
1114
1115A variety of methods exist to build libpng. Not all of these support
1116reconfiguration of pnglibconf.h. To reconfigure pnglibconf.h it must either be
1117rebuilt from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa using awk or it must be edited by hand.
1118
1119Hand editing is achieved by copying scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt and changing
1120the lines defining the supported features, paying very close attention to the
1121'option' information in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa that describes those features and
1122their requirements. This is easy to get wrong.
1123
1124B. Configuration using DFA_XTRA
1125
1126Rebuilding from pnglibconf.dfa is easy if a functioning 'awk', or a later
1127variant such as 'nawk' or 'gawk', is available. The configure build will
1128automatically find an appropriate awk and build pnglibconf.h.
1129scripts/pnglibconf.mak contains a set of make rules for doing the same thing if
1130configure is not used, and many of the makefiles in the scripts directory use
1131this approach.
1132
1133When rebuilding simply write new file containing changed options and set
1134DFA_XTRA to the name of this file. This causes the build to append the new file
1135to the end of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. pngusr.dfa should contain lines of the
1136following forms:
1137
1138everything = off
1139
1140This turns all optional features off. Include it at the start of pngusr.dfa to
1141make it easier to build a minimal configuration. You will need to turn at least
1142some features on afterward to enable either reading or writing code, or both.
1143
1144option feature on
1145option feature off
1146
1147Enable or disable a single feature. This will automatically enable other
1148features required by a feature that is turned on or disable other features that
1149require a feature which is turned off. Conflicting settings will cause an error
1150message to be emitted by awk.
1151
1152setting feature default value
1153
1154Changes the default value of setting 'feature' to 'value'. There are a small
1155number of settings listed at the top of pnglibconf.h, they are documented in the
1156source code. Most of these values have performance implications for the library
1157but most of them have no visible effect on the API. Some can also be overridden
1158from the API.
1159
1160C. Configuration using PNG_USR_CONFIG
1161
1162If -DPNG_USR_CONFIG is added to the CFLAGS when pnglibconf.h is built the file
1163pngusr.h will automatically be included before the options in
1164scripts/pnglibconf.dfa are processed. pngusr.h should contain only macro
1165definitions turning features on or off or setting settings.
1166
1167Apart from the global setting "everything = off" all the options listed above
1168can be set using macros in pngusr.h:
1169
1170#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
1171
1172is equivalent to:
1173
1174option feature on
1175
1176#define PNG_NO_feature
1177
1178is equivalent to:
1179
1180option feature off
1181
1182#define PNG_feature value
1183
1184is equivalent to:
1185
1186setting feature default value
1187
1188Notice that in both cases, pngusr.dfa and pngusr.h, the contents of the
1189pngusr file you supply override the contents of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
1190
1191If confusing or incomprehensible behavior results it is possible to
1192examine the intermediate file pnglibconf.dfn to find the full set of
1193dependency information for each setting and option. Simply locate the
1194feature in the file and read the C comments that precede it.
1195
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001196.SH III. Reading
1197
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001198We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001199in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
1200of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While
1201progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
1202need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
1203file.
1204
1205.SS Setup
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001206
1207You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
1208so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you
1209will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
1210file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05001211To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05001212png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the
1213corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise.
1214Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the
1215prediction.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001216
1217If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
1218you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
1219of the file, and you also have to make a call to png_set_sig_bytes_read()
1220with the number of bytes you read from the beginning. Libpng will
1221then only check the bytes (if any) that your program didn't read.
1222
1223(*): If you are not using the standard I/O functions, you will need
1224to replace them with custom functions. See the discussion under
1225Customizing libpng.
1226
1227
1228 FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb");
1229 if (!fp)
1230 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001231 return (ERROR);

1238 {

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001240 }
1241
1242
1243Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized. In
1244order to ensure that the size of these structures is correct even with a
1245dynamically linked libpng, there are functions to initialize and
1246allocate the structures. We also pass the library version, optional
1247pointers to error handling functions, and a pointer to a data struct for
1248use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
1249be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section
1250on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson104622b2000-05-29 08:58:03 -05001251The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
1252create the structure, so your application should check for that.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05001279If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001280use a libpng that was built with PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED defined, and use
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05001281png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001282
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05001283 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
1284 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
1285 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
1286 user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
1287
1288The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
1289and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
1290are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
1291handling and memory alloc/free functions.
1292
1293When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06001294to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06001295your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001296routines, you will need to update the jmpbuf field every time you enter
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06001297a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001298
1299See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06001300information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error
1301handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
1302on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001303back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
1304free any memory.
1305
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06001306 if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))

1313
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001314If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05001315you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001316errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
1317
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05001318You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
1319more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
1320return.
1321
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001322Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to
1323use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
1324valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
1325opened in binary mode. If you wish to handle reading data in another
1326way, you need not call the png_init_io() function, but you must then
1327implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng
1328section below.
1329
1330 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
1331
1332If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
1333the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
1334libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
1335
1336 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
1337
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06001338You can change the zlib compression buffer size to be used while
1339reading compressed data with
1340
1341 png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, buffer_size);
1342
1343where the default size is 8192 bytes. Note that the buffer size
1344is changed immediately and the buffer is reallocated immediately,
1345instead of setting a flag to be acted upon later.
1346
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9dd1cdf2011-01-06 21:42:36 -06001347If you want CRC errors to be handled in a different manner than
1348the default, use
1349
1350 png_set_crc_action(png_ptr, crit_action, ancil_action);
1351
1352The values for png_set_crc_action() say how libpng is to handle CRC errors in
1353ancillary and critical chunks, and whether to use the data contained
1354therein. Note that it is impossible to "discard" data in a critical
1355chunk.
1356
1357Choices for (int) crit_action are
1358 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
1359 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
1360 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
1361 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
1362 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value
1363
1364Choices for (int) ancil_action are
1365 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
1366 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
1367 PNG_CRC_WARN_DISCARD 2 warn/discard data
1368 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
1369 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
1370 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value

1395 return (-n); /* chunk had an error */
1396 return (0); /* did not recognize */
1397 return (n); /* success */
1398 }
1399
1400(You can give your function another name that you like instead of
1401"read_chunk_callback")
1402
1403To inform libpng about your function, use
1404
1405 png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
1406 read_chunk_callback);
1407
1408This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
1409you can retrieve with
1410
1411 png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
1412
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001413If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
1414chunks will be saved when read, in case your callback function will need
1415one or more of them. This behavior can be changed with the
1416png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below.
1417
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06001418At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
1419called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
1420a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
1421You must supply a function
1422
Glenn Randers-Pehrson81ce8892011-01-24 08:04:37 -06001423 void read_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr,

1436
1437Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
1438input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal
1439behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001440various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This
1441behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known
1442chunk types. To change this, you can call:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001443
Glenn Randers-Pehrson272489d2004-08-04 06:34:52 -05001444 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,

Glenn Randers-Pehrsond029a752004-08-09 21:50:32 -05001451 You can use these definitions:

1453 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1
1454 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2
1455 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001457 chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
1458 five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
1459 num_chunks is 0)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001460
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001461 num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
Glenn Randers-Pehrsondff799e2004-08-07 21:42:49 -05001462 unknown chunks are affected. If nonzero,
1463 only the chunks in the list are affected
1464
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001465Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
1466list of png_unknown_chunk structures. If a chunk that is normally
1467known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
1468according to the "keep" directive. If a chunk is named in successive
1469instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond029a752004-08-09 21:50:32 -05001470take precedence. The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
1471chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001472
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001473Here is an example of the usage of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(),

Glenn Randers-Pehrson800d1e92008-08-20 17:25:21 -05001505.SS User limits
1506
1507The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
1508large as 2^31-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
1509Since very few applications really need to process such large images,
1510we have imposed an arbitrary 1-million limit on rows and columns.
1511Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
1512you wish to override this limit, you can use
1513
1514 png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
1515
1516to set your own limits, or use width_max = height_max = 0x7fffffffL
1517to allow all valid dimensions (libpng may reject some very large images
1518anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
1519
1520You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
1521before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
1522If you need to retrieve the limits that are being applied, use
1523
1524 width_max = png_get_user_width_max(png_ptr);
1525 height_max = png_get_user_height_max(png_ptr);
1526
1527The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
1528allowed in a PNG datastream. You can impose a limit on the total number
1529of sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks that will be stored, with
1530
1531 png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);
1532
1533where 0x7fffffffL means unlimited. You can retrieve this limit with
1534
1535 chunk_cache_max = png_get_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr);
1536
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8f5846f2009-10-31 21:31:08 -05001537This limit also applies to the number of buffers that can be allocated
1538by png_decompress_chunk() while decompressing iTXt, zTXt, and iCCP chunks.
1539
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06001540You can also set a limit on the amount of memory that a compressed chunk
1541other than IDAT can occupy, with
1542
1543 png_set_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_malloc_max);
1544
1545and you can retrieve the limit with
1546
1547 chunk_malloc_max = png_get_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr);
1548
1549Any chunks that would cause either of these limits to be exceeded will
1550be ignored.

1556You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read

1582(This excludes setting a background color, doing gamma transformation,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05001583quantizing, and setting filler.) If this is the case, simply do this:

1585 png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
1586
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06001587where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some
1588set of transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_read_info(),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001589followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001590then png_read_image(), and finally png_read_end().

Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001592(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
1593to transformation parameters required by some future input transform.)
1594
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -05001595You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
1596when you use png_read_png().
1597
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001598After you have called png_read_png(), you can retrieve the image data
1599with
1600
1601 row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1602
1603where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
1604
1605 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
1606
1607If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
1608row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
1609
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001610 if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/png_sizeof(png_byte))

Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001629
1630Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
1631row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block.
1632
1633If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
1634row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
1635
1636If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001637do it, and it'll be free'ed by libpng when you call png_destroy_*().

1639.SS The low-level read interface
1640
1641If you are going the low-level route, you are now ready to read all
1642the file information up to the actual image data. You do this with a
1643call to png_read_info().

1645 png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1646
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001647This will process all chunks up to but not including the image data.

1652has been read. Note that these fields may not be completely filled
1653in until png_read_end() has read the chunk data following the image.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001981 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown"] if
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001982 the data is not present or if res_x is 0;

1984
1985 Note that because of the way the resolutions are
1986 stored internally, the inch conversions won't
1987 come out to exactly even number. For example,
1988 72 dpi is stored as 0.28346 pixels/meter, and
1989 when this is retrieved it is 71.9988 dpi, so
1990 be sure to round the returned value appropriately
1991 if you want to display a reasonable-looking result.

2003
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002004 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown" if both
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06002005 x and y are 0] if the data is not present or if the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002006 chunk is present but the unit is the pixel. The
2007 remark about inexact inch conversions applies here
2008 as well, because a value in inches can't always be
2009 converted to microns and back without some loss
2010 of precision.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05002011
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002012For more information, see the png_info definition in png.h and the
2013PNG specification for chunk contents. Be careful with trusting
2014rowbytes, as some of the transformations could increase the space
2015needed to hold a row (expand, filler, gray_to_rgb, etc.).
2016See png_read_update_info(), below.
2017
2018A quick word about text_ptr and num_text. PNG stores comments in
2019keyword/text pairs, one pair per chunk, with no limit on the number
2020of text chunks, and a 2^31 byte limit on their size. While there are
2021suggested keywords, there is no requirement to restrict the use to these
2022strings. It is strongly suggested that keywords and text be sensible
2023to humans (that's the point), so don't use abbreviations. Non-printing
2024symbols are not allowed. See the PNG specification for more details.
2025There is also no requirement to have text after the keyword.
2026
2027Keywords should be limited to 79 Latin-1 characters without leading or
2028trailing spaces, but non-consecutive spaces are allowed within the
2029keyword. It is possible to have the same keyword any number of times.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002030The text_ptr is an array of png_text structures, each holding a
2031pointer to a language string, a pointer to a keyword and a pointer to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05002032a text string. The text string, language code, and translated
2033keyword may be empty or NULL pointers. The keyword/text
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002034pairs are put into the array in the order that they are received.
2035However, some or all of the text chunks may be after the image, so, to
2036make sure you have read all the text chunks, don't mess with these
2037until after you read the stuff after the image. This will be
2038mentioned again below in the discussion that goes with png_read_end().

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06002040.SS Input transformations
2041
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002042After you've read the header information, you can set up the library
2043to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
2044ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
2045should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
2046type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
2047certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002048checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002049make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
2050data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
2051
2052The colors used for the background and transparency values should be
2053supplied in the same format/depth as the current image data. They
2054are stored in the same format/depth as the image data in a bKGD or tRNS
2055chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data. The colors are
2056transformed to keep in sync with the image data when an application
2057calls the png_read_update_info() routine (see below).
2058
2059Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes
2060unless the library has been told to transform it into another format.
2061For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned
20622 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the
2063byte, unless png_set_packing() is called. 8-bit RGB data will be stored
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002064in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha()
2065is called to insert filler bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet.
206616-bit RGB data will be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant
2067byte of the color value first, unless png_set_strip_16() is called to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson16e11662004-11-01 14:13:40 -06002068transform it to regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() or
2069png_set_add alpha() is called to insert filler bytes, either before or
2070after each RRGGBB triplet. Similarly, 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can
2071be modified with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002072png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), or png_set_strip_16().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002073
2074The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits,
2075changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is
2076transparency information in a tRNS chunk. This is most useful on
2077grayscale images with bit depths of 2 or 4 or if there is a multiple-image
2078viewing application that wishes to treat all images in the same way.

2089These three functions are actually aliases for png_set_expand(), added
2090in libpng version 1.0.4, with the function names expanded to improve code
2091readability. In some future version they may actually do different

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002134PNG can have files with 16 bits per channel. If you only can handle
21358 bits per channel, this will strip the pixels down to 8 bit.
2136

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002140If, for some reason, you don't need the alpha channel on an image,
2141and you want to remove it rather than combining it with the background
2142(but the image author certainly had in mind that you *would* combine
2143it with the background, so that's what you should probably do):

Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002148In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image
2149is the level of opacity. If you need the alpha channel in an image to
2150be the level of transparency instead of opacity, you can invert the
2151alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk data) after it's read, so that 0 is
2152fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit
2153images) is fully transparent, with

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002157PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
2158they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit
2159files. This code expands to 1 pixel per byte without changing the
2160values of the pixels:
2161
2162 if (bit_depth < 8)

2165PNG files have possible bit depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. All pixels
2166stored in a PNG image have been "scaled" or "shifted" up to the next
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06002167higher possible bit depth (e.g. from 5 bits/sample in the range [0,31]
2168to 8 bits/sample in the range [0, 255]). However, it is also possible
2169to convert the PNG pixel data back to the original bit depth of the
2170image. This call reduces the pixels back down to the original bit depth:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002171
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ea0ff32001-08-07 22:25:59 -05002172 png_color_8p sig_bit;

2177PNG files store 3-color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
2178changes the storage of the pixels to blue, green, red:
2179
2180 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2181 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)

Glenn Randers-Pehrson1b8e5672001-08-25 06:46:06 -05002184PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code expands them
2185into 4 or 8 bytes for windowing systems that need them in this format:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002186
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1b8e5672001-08-25 06:46:06 -05002187 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002188 png_set_filler(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002189
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05002190where "filler" is the 8 or 16-bit number to fill with, and the location is
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002191either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether
2192you want the filler before the RGB or after. This transformation
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1b8e5672001-08-25 06:46:06 -05002193does not affect images that already have full alpha channels. To add an
2194opaque alpha channel, use filler=0xff or 0xffff and PNG_FILLER_AFTER which
2195will generate RGBA pixels.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002196
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002197Note that png_set_filler() does not change the color type. If you want
2198to do that, you can add a true alpha channel with
2199
2200 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002201 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2202 png_set_add_alpha(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_AFTER);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002203
2204where "filler" contains the alpha value to assign to each pixel.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson16e11662004-11-01 14:13:40 -06002205This function was added in libpng-1.2.7.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002206
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002207If you are reading an image with an alpha channel, and you need the
2208data as ARGB instead of the normal PNG format RGBA:
2209
2210 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002211 png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002212
2213For some uses, you may want a grayscale image to be represented as
2214RGB. This code will do that conversion:
2215
2216 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
2217 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002218 png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002219
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002220Conversely, you can convert an RGB or RGBA image to grayscale or grayscale
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002221with alpha.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002222
2223 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||

2242 If either weight is negative, default
2243 weights (21268, 71514) are used.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002244
2245If you have set error_action = 1 or 2, you can
2246later check whether the image really was gray, after processing
2247the image rows, with the png_get_rgb_to_gray_status(png_ptr) function.
2248It will return a png_byte that is zero if the image was gray or
22491 if there were any non-gray pixels. bKGD and sBIT data
2250will be silently converted to grayscale, using the green channel
2251data, regardless of the error_action setting.
2252

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002254the normalized graylevel is computed:
2255
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002256 int rw = red_weight * 65536;
2257 int gw = green_weight * 65536;
2258 int bw = 65536 - (rw + gw);
2259 gray = (rw*red + gw*green + bw*blue)/65536;

Glenn Randers-Pehrsond0dce401998-05-09 10:02:29 -05002276a higher bit-depth, you must either supply the background color as a gray
2277value at the original file bit-depth (need_expand = 1) or else supply the
2278background color as an RGB triplet at the final, expanded bit depth
2279(need_expand = 0). Similarly, if you are reading a paletted image, you
2280must either supply the background color as a palette index (need_expand = 1)
2281or as an RGB triplet that may or may not be in the palette (need_expand = 0).

Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05002293The png_set_background() function tells libpng to composite images
2294with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied background
2295color. If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
2296you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
2297the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page). You
2298need to tell libpng whether the color is in the gamma space of the
2299display (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN for colors you supply), the file
2300(PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE for colors from the bKGD chunk), or one
2301that is neither of these gammas (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_UNIQUE - I don't
2302know why anyone would use this, but it's here).
2303
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002304To properly display PNG images on any kind of system, the application needs
2305to know what the display gamma is. Ideally, the user will know this, and
2306the application will allow them to set it. One method of allowing the user
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonbcfd15d1999-10-01 14:22:25 -05002307to set the display gamma separately for each system is to check for a
2308SCREEN_GAMMA or DISPLAY_GAMMA environment variable, which will hopefully be
2309correctly set.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002310
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonbcfd15d1999-10-01 14:22:25 -05002311Note that display_gamma is the overall gamma correction required to produce
2312pleasing results, which depends on the lighting conditions in the surrounding
2313environment. In a dim or brightly lit room, no compensation other than
2314the physical gamma exponent of the monitor is needed, while in a dark room

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002351that file gammas are inverted from screen gammas. See the discussions

Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05002362If you need to reduce an RGB file to a paletted file, or if a paletted
2363file has more entries then will fit on your screen, png_set_quantize()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson862cb202010-04-16 22:12:51 -05002364will do that. Note that this is a simple match quantization that merely
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05002365finds the closest color available. This should work fairly well with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002366optimized palettes, but fairly badly with linear color cubes. If you
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05002367pass a palette that is larger then maximum_colors, the file will
2368reduce the number of colors in the palette so it will fit into
2369maximum_colors. If there is a histogram, it will use it to make
2370more intelligent choices when reducing the palette. If there is no

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002397PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being one.
2398The following code will reverse this (make black be one and white be
2399zero):
2400
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ea0ff32001-08-07 22:25:59 -05002401 if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2402 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2403
2404This function can also be used to invert grayscale and gray-alpha images:
2405
2406 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002407 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002408 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2409
2410PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002411ie. most significant bits first). This code changes the storage to the
2412other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits first, the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002413way PCs store them):
2414
2415 if (bit_depth == 16)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002416 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002417
2418If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
2419need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
2420
2421 if (bit_depth < 8)
2422 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
2423
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002424Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
2425the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
2426with
2427
2428 png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002429 read_transform_fn);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002430
2431You must supply the function
2432
Glenn Randers-Pehrson81ce8892011-01-24 08:04:37 -06002433 void read_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, row_info_ptr
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002434 row_info, png_bytep data)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002435
2436See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
John Bowlerf19abd62011-01-22 18:29:24 -06002437after all of the other transformations have been processed. Take care with
2438interlaced images if you do the interlace yourself - the width of the row is the
2439width in 'row_info', not the overall image width.
2440
2441If supported libpng provides two information routines that you can use to find
2442where you are in processing the image:
2443
2444 png_get_current_pass_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2445 png_get_current_row_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2446
2447Don't try using these outside a transform callback - firstly they are only
2448supported if user transforms are supported, secondly they may well return
2449unexpected results unless the row is actually being processed at the moment they
2450are called.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002451
2452You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
2453callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
2454function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
2455function
2456
2457 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002458 user_depth, user_channels);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002459
2460The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
2461freeing any memory required for the user structure.
2462
2463You can retrieve the pointer via the function
2464png_get_user_transform_ptr(). For example:
2465
2466 voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002467 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002468
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002469The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
2470but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
2471of the interlaced image.
2472
2473 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2474
2475After setting the transformations, libpng can update your png_info
2476structure to reflect any transformations you've requested with this
2477call. This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes
2478field so you can use it to allocate your image memory. This function
2479will also update your palette with the correct screen_gamma and
2480background if these have been given with the calls above.
2481
2482 png_read_update_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2483
2484After you call png_read_update_info(), you can allocate any
2485memory you need to hold the image. The row data is simply
2486raw byte data for all forms of images. As the actual allocation
2487varies among applications, no example will be given. If you
2488are allocating one large chunk, you will need to build an
2489array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
2490of the functions below.
2491
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002492Remember: Before you call png_read_update_info(), the png_get_
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06002493functions return the values corresponding to the original PNG image.
2494After you call png_read_update_info the values refer to the image
2495that libpng will output. Consequently you must call all the png_set_
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002496functions before you call png_read_update_info(). This is particularly
2497important for png_set_interlace_handling() - if you are going to call
2498png_read_update_info() you must call png_set_interlace_handling() before
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06002499it unless you want to receive interlaced output.
2500
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06002501.SS Reading image data
2502
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002503After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
2504The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you are
2505allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
2506call png_read_image() and libpng will read in all the image data
2507and put it in the memory area supplied. You will need to pass in
2508an array of pointers to each row.
2509
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06002510This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
2511need to call png_set_interlace_handling() (unless you call
2512png_read_update_info()) or call this function multiple times, or any
2513of that other stuff necessary with png_read_rows().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002514
2515 png_read_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
2516
2517where row_pointers is:
2518
2519 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
2520
2521You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
2522
2523If you don't want to read in the whole image at once, you can
2524use png_read_rows() instead. If there is no interlacing (check
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002525interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_NONE), this is simple:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002526
2527 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002528 number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002529
2530where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
2531
2532If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002533a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002534
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002535 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05002536 png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002537
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05002538If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things
2539get somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002540interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7);
2541a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002542breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002543on an 8x8 grid. This number is defined (from libpng 1.5) as
2544PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES in png.h
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002545
2546libpng can fill out those images or it can give them to you "as is".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002547It is almost always better to have libpng handle the interlacing for you.
2548If you want the images filled out, there are two ways to do that. The one
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002549mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover
2550those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method).
2551This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually
2552smooths out as more pixels are read. The other method is the "sparkle"
2553method, where pixels are drawn only in their final locations, with the
2554rest of the image remaining whatever colors they were initialized to
2555before the start of the read. The first method usually looks better,
2556but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows.
2557
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002558If, as is likely, you want libpng to expand the images, call this before
2559calling png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info():
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002560
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002561 if (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002562 number_of_passes
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002563 = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2564
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002565This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
2566but may change if another interlace type is added. This function can be
2567called even if the file is not interlaced, where it will return one pass.
2568You then need to read the whole image 'number_of_passes' times. Each time
2569will distribute the pixels from the current pass to the correct place in
2570the output image, so you need to supply the same rows to png_read_rows in
2571each pass.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05002572
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002573If you are not going to display the image after each pass, but are
2574going to wait until the entire image is read in, use the sparkle
2575effect. This effect is faster and the end result of either method
2576is exactly the same. If you are planning on displaying the image
2577after each pass, the "rectangle" effect is generally considered the
2578better looking one.
2579
2580If you only want the "sparkle" effect, just call png_read_rows() as
2581normal, with the third parameter NULL. Make sure you make pass over
2582the image number_of_passes times, and you don't change the data in the
2583rows between calls. You can change the locations of the data, just
2584not the data. Each pass only writes the pixels appropriate for that
2585pass, and assumes the data from previous passes is still valid.
2586
2587 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002588 number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002589
2590If you only want the first effect (the rectangles), do the same as
2591before except pass the row buffer in the third parameter, and leave
2592the second parameter NULL.
2593
2594 png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002595 number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002596
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002597If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
2598png_read_rows() PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES times to read in all the images.
2599Each of the images is a valid image by itself, however you will almost
2600certainly need to distribute the pixels from each sub-image to the
2601correct place. This is where everything gets very tricky.
2602
2603If you want to retrieve the separate images you must pass the correct
2604number of rows to each successive call of png_read_rows(). The calculation
2605gets pretty complicated for small images, where some sub-images may
2606not even exist because either their width or height ends up zero.
2607libpng provides two macros to help you in 1.5 and later versions:
2608
2609 png_uint_32 width = PNG_PASS_COLS(image_width, pass_number);
2610 png_uint_32 height = PNG_PASS_ROWS(image_height, pass_number);
2611
2612Respectively these tell you the width and height of the sub-image
2613corresponding to the numbered pass. 'pass' is in in the range 0 to 6 -
2614this can be confusing because the specification refers to the same passes
2615as 1 to 7! Be careful, you must check both the width and height before
2616calling png_read_rows() and not call it for that pass if either is zero.
2617
2618You can, of course, read each sub-image row by row. If you want to
2619produce optimal code to make a pixel-by-pixel transformation of an
2620interlaced image this is the best approach; read each row of each pass,
2621transform it, and write it out to a new interlaced image.
2622
2623If you want to de-interlace the image yourself libpng provides further
2624macros to help that tell you where to place the pixels in the output image.
2625Because the interlacing scheme is rectangular - sub-image pixels are always
2626arranged on a rectangular grid - all you need to know for each pass is the
2627starting column and row in the output image of the first pixel plus the
2628spacing between each pixel. As of libpng 1.5 there are four macros to
2629retrieve this information:
2630
2631 png_uint_32 x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2632 png_uint_32 y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2633 png_uint_32 xStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_COL_SHIFT(pass);
2634 png_uint_32 yStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_ROW_SHIFT(pass);
2635
2636These allow you to write the obvious loop:
2637
2638 png_uint_32 input_y = 0;
2639 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2640
2641 while (output_y < output_image_height)
2642 {
2643 png_uint_32 input_x = 0;
2644 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2645
2646 while (output_x < output_image_width)
2647 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002648 image[output_y][output_x] =
2649 subimage[pass][input_y][input_x++];
2650
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002651 output_x += xStep;
2652 }
2653
2654 ++input_y;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002655 output_y += yStep;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002656 }
2657
2658Notice that the steps between successive output rows and columns are
2659returned as shifts. This is possible because the pixels in the subimages
2660are always a power of 2 apart - 1, 2, 4 or 8 pixels - in the original
2661image. In practice you may need to directly calculate the output coordinate
2662given an input coordinate. libpng provides two further macros for this
2663purpose:
2664
2665 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(input_x, pass);
2666 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(input_y, pass);
2667
2668Finally a pair of macros are provided to tell you if a particular image
2669row or column appears in a given pass:
2670
2671 int col_in_pass = PNG_COL_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_x, pass);
2672 int row_in_pass = PNG_ROW_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_y, pass);
2673
2674Bear in mind that you will probably also need to check the width and height
2675of the pass in addition to the above to be sure the pass even exists!
2676
2677With any luck you are convinced by now that you don't want to do your own
2678interlace handling. In reality normally the only good reason for doing this
2679is if you are processing PNG files on a pixel-by-pixel basis and don't want
2680to load the whole file into memory when it is interlaced.
2681
2682libpng includes a test program, pngvalid, that illustrates reading and
2683writing of interlaced images. If you can't get interlacing to work in your
2684code and don't want to leave it to libpng (the recommended approach) see
2685how pngvalid.c does it.

2688
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9c3ab682006-02-20 22:09:05 -06002689After you are finished reading the image through the
2690low-level interface, you can finish reading the file. If you are
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06002691interested in comments or time, which may be stored either before or
2692after the image data, you should pass the separate png_info struct if
2693you want to keep the comments from before and after the image
2694separate. If you are not interested, you can pass NULL.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002695
2696 png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
2697
2698When you are done, you can free all memory allocated by libpng like this:
2699
2700 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
2701 &end_info);
2702
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002703It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002704point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002705
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06002706 png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)

Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06002718 seq - sequence number of item to be freed

Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002720
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002721This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
Glenn Randers-Pehrson68ea2432000-04-01 21:10:05 -06002722already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06002723by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
2724The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
2725type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
2726are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
2727sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002728
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002729The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
2730by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05002731or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
2732or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002733
2734 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002735

2742 same choices as in png_free_data()
2743
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002744This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
2745You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling
2746any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
2747function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
2748and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05002749or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes
2750responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05002751png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
2752for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonb1828932001-06-23 08:03:17 -05002753or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05002754
2755If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
2756the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
2757responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
2758because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002759
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05002760If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
2761separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
2762because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
2763the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
2764if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
2765application, your application must not separately free those members.
2766
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002767The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06002768it frees. If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by
2769your application instead of by libpng, you can use
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002770
2771 png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002772

Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05002774 containing the bitwise OR of one or

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002788
2789The progressive reader is slightly different then the non-progressive
2790reader. Instead of calling png_read_info(), png_read_rows(), and
2791png_read_end(), you make one call to png_process_data(), which calls
2792callbacks when it has the info, a row, or the end of the image. You
2793set up these callbacks with png_set_progressive_read_fn(). You don't
2794have to worry about the input/output functions of libpng, as you are
2795giving the library the data directly in png_process_data(). I will
2796assume that you have read the section on reading PNG files above,
2797so I will only highlight the differences (although I will show

2911 your original input data at this point by calling
2912 png_process_data_pause. This returns the number
2913 of unprocessed bytes from the last png_process_data
2914 call - it is up to you to ensure that the next call
2915 sees these bytes again. If you don't want to bother
2916 with this you can get libpng to cache the unread
2917 bytes by setting the 'save' parameter (see png.h) but
2918 then libpng will have to copy the data internally.

2998
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002999You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
3000so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
3001using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
3002custom writing functions. See the discussion under Customizing libpng.

3009Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.
3010As these can be both relatively large, you may not want to store these
3011on the stack, unless you have stack space to spare. Of course, you
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003012will want to check if they return NULL. If you are also reading,
3013you won't want to name your read structure and your write structure
3014both "png_ptr"; you can call them anything you like, such as
3015"read_ptr" and "write_ptr". Look at pngtest.c, for example.

3031
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05003032If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
3033define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05003034png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_write_struct():

3040
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003041After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
3042error handling. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
3043longjmp() back to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003044setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003045write the file from different routines, you will need to update
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003046the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
3047call a png_*() function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003048for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp. See
3049the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
3050section below for more information on the libpng error handling.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06003051

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003061If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05003062you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003063errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
3064
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05003065You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
3066more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
3067return.
3068
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003069Now you need to set up the output code. The default for libpng is to
3070use the C function fwrite(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
3071valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
3072opened in binary mode. Again, if you wish to handle writing data in
3073another way, see the discussion on libpng I/O handling in the Customizing
3074Libpng section below.
3075
3076 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
3077
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond60b8fa2006-04-20 21:31:14 -05003078If you are embedding your PNG into a datastream such as MNG, and don't
3079want libpng to write the 8-byte signature, or if you have already
3080written the signature in your application, use
3081
3082 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, 8);
3083
3084to inform libpng that it should not write a signature.
3085
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003086.SS Write callbacks
3087
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003088At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
3089called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
3090a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
3091You must supply a function
3092
Glenn Randers-Pehrson81ce8892011-01-24 08:04:37 -06003093 void write_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 row,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003094 int pass);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003095 {
3096 /* put your code here */
3097 }
3098
3099(You can give it another name that you like instead of "write_row_callback")
3100
3101To inform libpng about your function, use
3102
3103 png_set_write_status_fn(png_ptr, write_row_callback);
3104
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003105You now have the option of modifying how the compression library will
3106run. The following functions are mainly for testing, but may be useful
3107in some cases, like if you need to write PNG files extremely fast and
3108are willing to give up some compression, or if you want to get the
3109maximum possible compression at the expense of slower writing. If you
3110have no special needs in this area, let the library do what it wants by
3111not calling this function at all, as it has been tuned to deliver a good
3112speed/compression ratio. The second parameter to png_set_filter() is
Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06003113the filter method, for which the only valid values are 0 (as of the
3114July 1999 PNG specification, version 1.2) or 64 (if you are writing
3115a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG datastream). The third
3116parameter is a flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003117for each scanline. See the PNG specification for details on the specific

Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003134If an application wants to start and stop using particular filters during
3135compression, it should start out with all of the filters (to ensure that
3136the previous row of pixels will be stored in case it's needed later),
3137and then add and remove them after the start of compression.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003165You now need to fill in the png_info structure with all the data you
3166wish to write before the actual image. Note that the only thing you
3167are allowed to write after the image is the text chunks and the time
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05003168chunk (as of PNG Specification 1.2, anyway). See png_write_end() and
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003169the latest PNG specification for more information on that. If you
3170wish to write them before the image, fill them in now, and flag that
3171data as being valid. If you want to wait until after the data, don't

Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003224If you call png_set_IHDR(), the call must appear before any of the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond60c8862009-06-15 21:56:14 -05003225other png_set_*() functions, because they might require access to some of

Glenn Randers-Pehrsonb5444a12009-06-08 08:36:19 -05003229If you wish, you can reset the compression_type, interlace_type, or
3230filter_method later by calling png_set_IHDR() again; if you do this, the
3231width, height, bit_depth, and color_type must be the same in each call.

3252 (PNG_INFO_sRGB) The presence of
3253 the sRGB chunk means that the pixel
3254 data is in the sRGB color space.
3255 This chunk also implies specific
3256 values of gAMA and cHRM. Rendering
3257 intent is the CSS-1 property that

3423The "location" member is set automatically according to
3424what part of the output file has already been written.
3425You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
3426as demonstrated in pngtest.c. Within each of the "locations",
3427the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
3428structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
3429the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
3430png_set_unknown_chunks).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003431
3432A quick word about text and num_text. text is an array of png_text
3433structures. num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003434Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
3435and a compression type.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003436
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003437The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
3438types of the image data. Currently, the only valid number is zero.
3439However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06003440images, which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003441text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003442Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
3443specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
3444any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003445
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003446Until text gets around 1000 bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
3447After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
3448is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
3449so that it isn't written out again at the end (in case you are calling
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003450png_write_end() with the same struct).

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003474 Comment Miscellaneous comment; conversion
3475 from other image format
3476
3477The keyword-text pairs work like this. Keywords should be short
3478simple descriptions of what the comment is about. Some typical
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003479keywords are found in the PNG specification, as is some recommendations
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003480on keywords. You can repeat keywords in a file. You can even write
3481some text before the image and some after. For example, you may want
3482to put a description of the image before the image, but leave the
3483disclaimer until after, so viewers working over modem connections
3484don't have to wait for the disclaimer to go over the modem before
3485they start seeing the image. Finally, keywords should be full
3486words, not abbreviations. Keywords and text are in the ISO 8859-1
3487(Latin-1) character set (a superset of regular ASCII) and can not
3488contain NUL characters, and should not contain control or other
3489unprintable characters. To make the comments widely readable, stick
3490with basic ASCII, and avoid machine specific character set extensions
3491like the IBM-PC character set. The keyword must be present, but
3492you can leave off the text string on non-compressed pairs.
3493Compressed pairs must have a text string, as only the text string
3494is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
3495
3496PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003497conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003498time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The
3499time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of
3500these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
3501you should provide the time in universal time (GMT) if possible
3502instead of your local time. Note that the year number is the full
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003503year (e.g. 1998, rather than 98 - PNG is year 2000 compliant!), and
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003504that months start with 1.
3505
3506If you want to store the time of the original image creation, you should
3507use a plain tEXt chunk with the "Creation Time" keyword. This is
3508necessary because the "creation time" of a PNG image is somewhat vague,
3509depending on whether you mean the PNG file, the time the image was
3510created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
3511scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate
3512machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06003513tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003514although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the
3515"Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
3516by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
3517png_convert_to_rfc1123(png_timep) is provided to convert from PNG
3518time to an RFC 1123 format string.
3519
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003520.SS Writing unknown chunks
3521
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003522You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks
3523for writing. You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's
3524all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the next following
3525png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function.
3526Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk
3527list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG
3528specification's ordering rules.
3529
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003530.SS The high-level write interface
3531
3532At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
3533write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
3534You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003535in the info structure. All defined output
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003536transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003537
3538 PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY No transformation
3539 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKING Pack 1, 2 and 4-bit samples
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003540 PNG_TRANSFORM_PACKSWAP Change order of packed
3541 pixels to LSB first
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003542 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_MONO Invert monochrome images
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003543 PNG_TRANSFORM_SHIFT Normalize pixels to the

3545 PNG_TRANSFORM_BGR Flip RGB to BGR, RGBA

3547 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ALPHA Flip RGBA to ARGB or GA
3548 to AG
3549 PNG_TRANSFORM_INVERT_ALPHA Change alpha from opacity

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003551 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1eb14e92008-12-10 07:14:45 -06003552 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER Strip out filler
3553 bytes (deprecated).
3554 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_BEFORE Strip out leading
3555 filler bytes
3556 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_AFTER Strip out trailing
3557 filler bytes
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003558
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003559If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
3560png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003561
3562 png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
3563
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05003564where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003565transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003566followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
3567then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003568
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003569(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
3570to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003571
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -05003572You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
3573when you use png_write_png().
3574
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003575.SS The low-level write interface
3576
3577If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
3578write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do
3579this with a call to png_write_info().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003580
3581 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3582
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003583Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
3584png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003585level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency,
3586you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is
3587fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535
3588(in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003589
3590 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
3591
3592This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
3593other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
3594chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If
3595your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
3596represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
3597be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
3598png_write_info() call.
3599
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5379b241999-11-27 10:22:33 -06003600If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
3601the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
3602two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
3603
3604 png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003605 png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5379b241999-11-27 10:22:33 -06003606 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3607
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003608After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
3609to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
3610ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
3611should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
3612type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
3613certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003614checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003615make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
3616data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
3617
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05003618PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells
Glenn Randers-Pehrson68ea2432000-04-01 21:10:05 -06003619the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003620to 3 or 6 bytes (or strip 2 or 4-byte grayscale+filler data to 1 or 2
3621bytes per pixel).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003622
3623 png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
3624
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003625where the 0 is unused, and the location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003626PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether the filler byte in the pixel
3627is stored XRGB or RGBX.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003628
3629PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
3630they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.
3631If the data is supplied at 1 pixel per byte, use this code, which will
3632correctly pack the pixels into a single byte:
3633
3634 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
3635
3636PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. If your
3637data is of another bit depth, you can write an sBIT chunk into the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003638file so that decoders can recover the original data if desired.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06003639
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003640 /* Set the true bit depth of the image data */

3649 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003650 sig_bit.gray = true_bit_depth;
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003651 }
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003652
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003653 if (color_type & PNG_COLOR_MASK_ALPHA)
3654 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003655 sig_bit.alpha = true_bit_depth;

3657
3658 png_set_sBIT(png_ptr, info_ptr, &sig_bit);
3659
3660If the data is stored in the row buffer in a bit depth other than
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003661one supported by PNG (e.g. 3 bit data in the range 0-7 for a 4-bit PNG),
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003662this will scale the values to appear to be the correct bit depth as
3663is required by PNG.
3664
3665 png_set_shift(png_ptr, &sig_bit);
3666
3667PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
3668ie. most significant bits first). This code would be used if they are
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003669supplied the other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits
3670first, the way PCs store them):
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003671
3672 if (bit_depth > 8)
3673 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
3674
3675If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
3676need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
3677
3678 if (bit_depth < 8)
3679 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
3680
3681PNG files store 3 color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
3682would be used if they are supplied as blue, green, red:
3683
3684 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
3685
3686PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being
3687one. This code would be used if the pixels are supplied with this reversed
3688(black being one and white being zero):
3689
3690 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
3691
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003692Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
3693the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
3694with
3695
3696 png_set_write_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
3697 write_transform_fn);
3698
3699You must supply the function
3700
Glenn Randers-Pehrson81ce8892011-01-24 08:04:37 -06003701 void write_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr ptr,
3702 row_info_ptr row_info, png_bytep data)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003703
3704See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
John Bowlerf19abd62011-01-22 18:29:24 -06003705before any of the other transformations are processed. If supported
3706libpng also supplies an information routine that may be called from
3707your callback:
3708
3709 png_get_current_row_number(png_ptr);
3710
3711This returns the current row passed to the transform. Even with interlaced
3712images the value returned is the row in the final output image.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05003713
3714You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
3715callback function.
3716
3717 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
3718
3719The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
3720when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
3721
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003722You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
3723For example:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05003724
3725 voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
3726 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003727
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003728It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
3729or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To
3730flush the output stream a single time call:
3731
3732 png_write_flush(png_ptr);
3733
3734and to have libpng flush the output stream periodically after a certain
3735number of scanlines have been written, call:
3736
3737 png_set_flush(png_ptr, nrows);
3738
3739Note that the distance between rows is from the last time png_write_flush()
3740was called, or the first row of the image if it has never been called.
3741So if you write 50 lines, and then png_set_flush 25, it will flush the
3742output on the next scanline, and every 25 lines thereafter, unless
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003743png_write_flush() is called before 25 more lines have been written.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003744If nrows is too small (less than about 10 lines for a 640 pixel wide
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003745RGB image) the image compression may decrease noticeably (although this
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003746may be acceptable for real-time applications). Infrequent flushing will
3747only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
3748that do not use flushing.
3749
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003750.SS Writing the image data
3751
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003752That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003753The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003754whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
3755will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
3756each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
3757need to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
3758times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_write_rows().
3759
3760 png_write_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
3761
3762where row_pointers is:
3763
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05003764 png_byte *row_pointers[height];
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003765
3766You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
3767
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05003768If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003769use png_write_rows() instead. If the file is not interlaced,
3770this is simple:
3771
3772 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,
3773 number_of_rows);
3774
3775row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
3776
3777If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003778a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003779
3780 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
3781
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003782 png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003783
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003784When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more complicated.
3785The only currently (as of the PNG Specification version 1.2, dated July
37861999) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files is the "Adam7" interlace
3787scheme, that breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying
3788size. libpng will build these images for you, or you can do them
3789yourself. If you want to build them yourself, see the PNG specification
3790for details of which pixels to write when.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003791
3792If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just
3793use png_set_interlace_handling() and call png_write_rows() the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003794correct number of times to write all the sub-images
3795(png_set_interlace_handling() returns the number of sub-images.)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003796
3797If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start
3798writing any rows:
3799
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003800 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003801
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003802This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
3803but may change if another interlace type is added.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003804
3805Then write the complete image number_of_passes times.
3806
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003807 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003808
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003809Think carefully before you write an interlaced image. Typically code that
3810reads such images reads all the image data into memory, uncompressed, before
3811doing any processing. Only code that can display an image on the fly can
3812take advantage of the interlacing and even then the image has to be exactly
3813the correct size for the output device, because scaling an image requires
3814adjacent pixels and these are not available until all the passes have been
3815read.
3816
3817If you do write an interlaced image you will hardly ever need to handle
3818the interlacing yourself. Call png_set_interlace_handling() and use the
3819approach described above.
3820
3821The only time it is conceivable that you will really need to write an
3822interlaced image pass-by-pass is when you have read one pass by pass and
3823made some pixel-by-pixel transformation to it, as described in the read
3824code above. In this case use the PNG_PASS_ROWS and PNG_PASS_COLS macros
3825to determine the size of each sub-image in turn and simply write the rows
3826you obtained from the read code.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003827
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003828.SS Finishing a sequential write
3829
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003830After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
3831the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
3832pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer. If you are not interested,
3833you can pass NULL.
3834
3835 png_write_end(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3836
3837When you are done, you can free all memory used by libpng like this:
3838
3839 png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
3840
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003841It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05003842point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003843
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003844 png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003845
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003846 mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05003847 containing the bitwise OR of one or
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003848 more of
3849 PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
3850 PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
3851 PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
3852 PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
3853 PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
3854 or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003855
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003856 seq - sequence number of item to be freed
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003857 (-1 for all items)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003858
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05003859This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003860already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003861by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
3862The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
3863type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
3864are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
3865sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003866
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003867If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng
3868with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003869png_destroy_write_struct().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003870
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003871The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
3872by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003873or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
3874or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003875
3876 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003877

3885
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003886For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
3887to a write structure, you could use
3888
3889 png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
3890 PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
3891 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003892
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003893 png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
3894 PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
3895 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
3896
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003897thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003898immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
3899function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
3900structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
3901structure.
3902
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003903This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
3904You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
3905to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
3906When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003907application must use
3908png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
3909for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
3910or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003911
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003912If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
3913separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
3914because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
3915the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
3916if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
3917application, your application must not separately free those members.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003920.SH V. Modifying/Customizing libpng:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003921
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003922There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003923standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
3924The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
3925adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson231e6872001-01-12 15:13:06 -06003926Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
3927determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003928to provide the user with a means of changing them.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson231e6872001-01-12 15:13:06 -06003929
3930Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003931
3932All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
Glenn Randers-Pehrson231e6872001-01-12 15:13:06 -06003933goes through callbacks that are user-settable. The default routines are
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003934in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively. To change
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003935these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003936
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003937Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(),
3938and png_free(). These currently just call the standard C functions.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05003939png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then clears the newly
3940allocated memory to zero. There is limited support for certain systems
3941with segmented memory architectures and the types of pointers declared by
3942png.h match this; you will have to use appropriate pointers in your
3943application. Since it is
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003944unlikely that the method of handling memory allocation on a platform
3945will change between applications, these functions must be modified in
3946the library at compile time. If you prefer to use a different method
3947of allocating and freeing data, you can use png_create_read_struct_2() or
3948png_create_write_struct_2() to register your own functions as described
3949above. These functions also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved
3950via
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003951
3952 mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
3953
3954Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:
3955
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003956 png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06003957 png_alloc_size_t size);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003958
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003959 void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003960
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5fea36f2004-07-28 08:20:44 -05003961Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc()
3962function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
3963system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
Glenn Randers-Pehrson82ae3832001-04-20 10:32:10 -05003964
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003965Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
3966png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
3967
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003968Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
3969which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
3970png_struct and is initialized via png_init_io(). If you wish to change
3971the method of I/O, the library supplies callbacks that you can set
3972through the function png_set_read_fn() and png_set_write_fn() at run
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003973time, instead of calling the png_init_io() function. These functions
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003974also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
3975png_get_io_ptr(). For example:
3976
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05003977 png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
3978 voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003979
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05003980 png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
3981 voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003982 png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
3983
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05003984 voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
3985 voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003986
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003987The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:

3996
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05003997The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and
3998handling end-of-data errors.
3999
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004000Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05004001to using the default C stream functions, which expect the io_ptr to
4002point to a standard *FILE structure. It is probably a mistake
4003to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both
4004of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined.
4005It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004006
4007Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
4008Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
4009should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004010setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05004011PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson60988072010-04-13 22:11:06 -05004012but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05004013as long as your function does not return.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004014
4015On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004016to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
4017By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05004018fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined
4019(because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because
4020fprintf() isn't available). If you wish to change the behavior of the error
4021functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks. These
4022functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05004023It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement
4024functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004025
4026 png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4027 png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn,
4028 png_error_ptr warning_fn);
4029
4030 png_voidp error_ptr = png_get_error_ptr(png_ptr);
4031
4032If NULL is supplied for either error_fn or warning_fn, then the libpng
4033default function will be used, calling fprintf() and/or longjmp() if a
4034problem is encountered. The replacement error functions should have
4035parameters as follows:
4036
4037 void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4038 png_const_charp error_msg);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004039
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004040 void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4041 png_const_charp warning_msg);
4042
4043The motivation behind using setjmp() and longjmp() is the C++ throw and
4044catch exception handling methods. This makes the code much easier to write,
4045as there is no need to check every return code of every function call.
4046However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004047after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything
4048after setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself. Consult your
4049compiler documentation for more details. For an alternative approach, you
4050may wish to use the "cexcept" facility (see http://cexcept.sourceforge.net).

4053
4054If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper
4055into the libpng code. The library now has mechanisms for storing
4056and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9c3ab682006-02-20 22:09:05 -06004057for custom chunks. However, this may not be good enough if the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004058library code itself needs to know about interactions between your
4059chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks.
4060
4061If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004062specification. Acquire a first level of understanding of how it works.
4063Pay particular attention to the sections that describe chunk names,
4064and look at how other chunks were designed, so you can do things
4065similarly. Second, check out the sections of libpng that read and
4066write chunks. Try to find a chunk that is similar to yours and use
4067it as a template. More details can be found in the comments inside
4068the code. It is best to handle unknown chunks in a generic method,
4069via callback functions, instead of by modifying libpng functions.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004070
4071If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through
4072the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of
4073the simpler ones to get an idea of how they work. Try to find a similar
4074transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it. More details
4075can be found in the comments inside the code itself.

4092compilers. Make sure MAXSEG_64K gets defined, USE_FAR_KEYWORD gets

4094all set. Everything in the library (except for zlib's structure) is
4095expecting far data. You must use the typedefs with the p or pp on
4096the end for pointers (or at least look at them and be careful). Make
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004097note that the rows of data are defined as png_bytepp, which is an

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004119
4120There are special functions to configure the compression. Perhaps the
4121most useful one changes the compression level, which currently uses
4122input compression values in the range 0 - 9. The library normally
4123uses the default compression level (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = 6). Tests
4124have shown that for a large majority of images, compression values in
4125the range 3-6 compress nearly as well as higher levels, and do so much
4126faster. For online applications it may be desirable to have maximum speed
4127(Z_BEST_SPEED = 1). With versions of zlib after v0.99, you can also
4128specify no compression (Z_NO_COMPRESSION = 0), but this would create
4129files larger than just storing the raw bitmap. You can specify the
4130compression level by calling:
4131
4132 png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
4133
4134Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library.
4135The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are
4136short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K).
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004137Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among
4138other things, lower levels will result in sections of incompressible
4139data being emitted in smaller stored blocks, with a correspondingly
4140larger relative overhead of up to 15% in the worst case.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004141
4142 png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level);

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004158
4159If you want to control whether libpng uses filtering or not, which
4160filters are used, and how it goes about picking row filters, you
4161can call one of these functions. The selection and configuration
4162of row filters can have a significant impact on the size and
4163encoding speed and a somewhat lesser impact on the decoding speed
4164of an image. Filtering is enabled by default for RGB and grayscale
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004165images (with and without alpha), but not for paletted images nor
4166for any images with bit depths less than 8 bits/pixel.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004167
4168The 'method' parameter sets the main filtering method, which is
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05004169currently only '0' in the PNG 1.2 specification. The 'filters'
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004170parameter sets which filter(s), if any, should be used for each
4171scanline. Possible values are PNG_ALL_FILTERS and PNG_NO_FILTERS
4172to turn filtering on and off, respectively.
4173
4174Individual filter types are PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB,
4175PNG_FILTER_UP, PNG_FILTER_AVG, PNG_FILTER_PAETH, which can be bitwise
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05004176ORed together with '|' to specify one or more filters to use.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004177These filters are described in more detail in the PNG specification.
4178If you intend to change the filter type during the course of writing
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004179the image, you should start with flags set for all of the filters
4180you intend to use so that libpng can initialize its internal
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004181structures appropriately for all of the filter types. (Note that this
4182means the first row must always be adaptively filtered, because libpng
4183currently does not allocate the filter buffers until png_write_row()
4184is called for the first time.)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004185
4186 filters = PNG_FILTER_NONE | PNG_FILTER_SUB

4191 filters);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06004192 The second parameter can also be
4193 PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if you are
4194 writing a PNG to be embedded in a MNG
4195 datastream. This parameter must be the
4196 same as the value of filter_method used
4197 in png_set_IHDR().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004198
4199It is also possible to influence how libpng chooses from among the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004200available filters. This is done in one or both of two ways - by
4201telling it how important it is to keep the same filter for successive
4202rows, and by telling it the relative computational costs of the filters.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004203
4204 double weights[3] = {1.5, 1.3, 1.1},
4205 costs[PNG_FILTER_VALUE_LAST] =
4206 {1.0, 1.3, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7};
4207

4209 PNG_FILTER_HEURISTIC_WEIGHTED, 3,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004210 weights, costs);
4211
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004212The weights are multiplying factors that indicate to libpng that the
4213row filter should be the same for successive rows unless another row filter
4214is that many times better than the previous filter. In the above example,
4215if the previous 3 filters were SUB, SUB, NONE, the SUB filter could have a
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004216"sum of absolute differences" 1.5 x 1.3 times higher than other filters
4217and still be chosen, while the NONE filter could have a sum 1.1 times
4218higher than other filters and still be chosen. Unspecified weights are
4219taken to be 1.0, and the specified weights should probably be declining
4220like those above in order to emphasize recent filters over older filters.
4221
4222The filter costs specify for each filter type a relative decoding cost
4223to be considered when selecting row filters. This means that filters
4224with higher costs are less likely to be chosen over filters with lower
4225costs, unless their "sum of absolute differences" is that much smaller.
4226The costs do not necessarily reflect the exact computational speeds of
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06004227the various filters, since this would unduly influence the final image
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004228size.
4229
4230Note that the numbers above were invented purely for this example and
4231are given only to help explain the function usage. Little testing has
4232been done to find optimum values for either the costs or the weights.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004249along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that you do
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004250want. The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable the extra
4251transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading
4252and writing PNG files with all known public chunks. Use of the
4253PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive produces a library
4254that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks. If you are
4255not using the progressive reading capability, you can turn that off
4256with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse this with the INTERLACING
4257capability, which you'll still have).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004258
4259All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the
4260linker should only grab the files it needs. However, if you want to
4261make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the
4262reading files start with pngr and all the writing files start with
4263pngw. The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.)
4264are used for both reading and writing, and always need to be included.
4265The progressive reader is in pngpread.c
4266
4267If you are creating or distributing a dynamically linked library (a .so
4268or DLL file), you should not remove or disable any parts of the library,
4269as this will cause applications linked with different versions of the
4270library to fail if they call functions not available in your library.
4271The size of the library itself should not be an issue, because only
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004272those sections that are actually used will be loaded into memory.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004273
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004274.SS Requesting debug printout
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004275
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004276The macro definition PNG_DEBUG can be used to request debugging
4277printout. Set it to an integer value in the range 0 to 3. Higher
4278numbers result in increasing amounts of debugging information. The
4279information is printed to the "stderr" file, unless another file
4280name is specified in the PNG_DEBUG_FILE macro definition.
4281
4282When PNG_DEBUG > 0, the following functions (macros) become available:
4283
4284 png_debug(level, message)
4285 png_debug1(level, message, p1)
4286 png_debug2(level, message, p1, p2)
4287
4288in which "level" is compared to PNG_DEBUG to decide whether to print
4289the message, "message" is the formatted string to be printed,
4290and p1 and p2 are parameters that are to be embedded in the string
4291according to printf-style formatting directives. For example,
4292
4293 png_debug1(2, "foo=%d\n", foo);
4294
4295is expanded to
4296
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004297 if (PNG_DEBUG > 2)
4298 fprintf(PNG_DEBUG_FILE, "foo=%d\n", foo);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004299
4300When PNG_DEBUG is defined but is zero, the macros aren't defined, but you
4301can still use PNG_DEBUG to control your own debugging:
4302
4303 #ifdef PNG_DEBUG
4304 fprintf(stderr, ...
4305 #endif
4306
4307When PNG_DEBUG = 1, the macros are defined, but only png_debug statements
4308having level = 0 will be printed. There aren't any such statements in
4309this version of libpng, but if you insert some they will be printed.
4310
Glenn Randers-Pehrson56f63962008-10-06 10:16:17 -05004311.SH VI. MNG support
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2ad31ae2000-12-15 08:54:42 -06004312
4313The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
4314certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
4315Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the
4316png_permit_mng_features() function:
4317
4318 feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004319
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05004320 mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2ad31ae2000-12-15 08:54:42 -06004321 features you want to enable. These include
4322 PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
4323 PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
4324 PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004325
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05004326 feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2ad31ae2000-12-15 08:54:42 -06004327 your mask with the set of MNG features that is
4328 supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
4329
Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06004330It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
4331PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf05f8032000-12-23 14:27:39 -06004332in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
4333and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these
4334or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
4335them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
4336http://www.libmng.com) instead.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06004337
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05004338.SH VII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004339
4340It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
4341distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
4342Andreas Dilger, who had taken over from Guy during 1996 and 1997, and
4343distributed versions 0.89 through 0.96, but rather by another member
4344of the original PNG Group, Glenn Randers-Pehrson. Guy and Andreas are
4345still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
4346
4347The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8b6a8892001-05-18 04:54:50 -05004348png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05004349moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. These
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004350functions will be removed from libpng version 1.4.0.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05004351
4352The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004353via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and
4354png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures
4355from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the
4356use of custom error handling routines during the initialization, which
4357the old functions do not. The functions png_read_destroy() and
4358png_write_destroy() do not actually free the memory that libpng
4359allocated for these structs, but just reset the data structures, so they
4360can be used instead of png_destroy_read_struct() and
4361png_destroy_write_struct() if you feel there is too much system overhead
4362allocating and freeing the png_struct for each image read.
4363
4364Setting the error callbacks via png_set_message_fn() before
4365png_read_init() as was suggested in libpng-0.88 is no longer supported
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004366because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004367to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero. It is still possible
4368to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05004369png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a new
4370name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use the old
4371method.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004372
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05004373Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library
4374you are using at run-time:
4375
4376 png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number();
4377
4378The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor
4379version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero,
4380(e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007).
4381
4382You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your
4383application:
4384
4385 png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER;
4386
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004387.SH VIII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x to 1.2.x
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06004388
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004389Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To
4390accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(),
4391png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(),
4392png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added.
4393
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond6ea40a2009-11-02 07:32:00 -06004394Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of
4395version 1.2.41.
4396
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004397Support for certain MNG features was enabled.
4398
4399Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got
4400around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
4401png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this
4402function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE
4403builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36).
4404
4405The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues
4406a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to
4407acquire the requested memory allocation.
4408
4409Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled
4410by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(),
4411and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6.
4412
4413The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7.
4414
4415The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9.
4416Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the
4417tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is
4418deprecated.
4419
4420A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of
4421assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were
4422added at libpng-1.2.0:
4423
4424 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED
4425 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU
4426 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW
4427 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE
4428 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB
4429 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP
4430 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG
4431 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH
4432 PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED
4433 PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS
4434 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
4435 PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS
4436 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
4437
4438We added the following functions in support of runtime
4439selection of assembler code features:
4440
4441 png_get_mmx_flagmask()
4442 png_set_mmx_thresholds()
4443 png_get_asm_flags()
4444 png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold()
4445 png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold()
4446 png_set_asm_flags()
4447
4448We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,
4449when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue.
4450
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3d893a02009-08-31 13:32:46 -05004451These macros are deprecated:
4452
4453 PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4454 PNG_PROGRESSIVE_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED
4455 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ_SUPPORTED
4456 PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4457 PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4458 PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4459
4460They have been replaced, respectively, by:
4461
4462 PNG_NO_READ_TRANSFORMS
4463 PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ
4464 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ
4465 PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS
4466 PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4467 PNG_NO_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4468
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004469PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been
4470deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6.
4471
4472The function
4473 png_check_sig(sig, num)
4474was replaced with
4475 !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num)
4476It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
4477
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004478The function
4479 png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
4480which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
4481 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
4482which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004483
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond740c842009-11-04 19:01:54 -06004484.SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
4485
4486Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
4487png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
4488
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004489Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
4490png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
4491
4492Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
4493will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
4494The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
4495were added to the library.
4496
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004497We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
4498and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004499
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05004500We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
4501input transforms.
4502
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05004503Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
4504
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004505Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
4506
4507Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
4508
4509Typecasted NULL definitions such as
4510 #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
4511were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
4512NULL instead.
4513
4514The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
4515changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
4516
4517The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004518were removed.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004519
4520The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
4521
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05004522The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
4523
4524Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
4525
4526The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
4527png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
4528have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
4529
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004530The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
4531since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
4532
4533We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
4534png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
4535png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
4536png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
4537
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004538We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05004539png_memset_check() functions. Instead use !png_sig_cmp(), memcpy(),
4540and memset(), respectively.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004541
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004542The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
4543deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
4544png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
4545expanded palette images.
4546
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004547Macros for png_get_uint_16, png_get_uint_32, and png_get_int_32
4548were added and are used by default instead of the corresponding
4549functions. Unfortunately,
4550from libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
4551function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
4552
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004553We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
4554 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
4555to
4556 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
4557
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004558This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
4559
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004560The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05004561of "png_malloc(); memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004562where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
4563after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
4564behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
4565the process.
4566
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004567We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
4568png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with png_size_t instead of
4569png_uint_32.
4570
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004571Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
4572never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
4573png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
4574
4575The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004576The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
4577allocates.
4578
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05004579Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
4580been well tested and doesn't actually "dither". The code was not
4581removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
4582PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
4583was reenabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
4584reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
4585the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004586PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS, and PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED
4587was renamed to PNG_READ_QUANTIZE_SUPPORTED.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson60988072010-04-13 22:11:06 -05004588
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004589We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004591.SH X. Changes to Libpng from version 1.4.x to 1.5.x
4592
4593From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
4594function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
4595
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004596A. Changes that affect users of libpng
4597
4598There are no substantial API changes between the non-deprecated parts of
4599the 1.4.5 API and the 1.5.0 API, however the ability to directly access
4600the main libpng control structures, png_struct and png_info, deprecated
4601in earlier versions of libpng, has been completely removed from
4602libpng 1.5.
4603
Glenn Randers-Pehrson00879b12011-01-15 19:25:34 -06004604We no longer include zlib.h in png.h. Applications that need access
4605to information in zlib.h will need to add the '#include "zlib.h"'
4606directive. It does not matter whether it is placed prior to or after
4607the '"#include png.h"' directive.
4608
4609We moved the png_strcpy(), png_strncpy(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(),
4610png_memcmp(), png_sprintf, and png_memcpy() macros into a private
4611header file (pngpriv.h) that is not accessible to applications.
4612
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9d23b402011-01-08 10:42:01 -06004613In png_get_iCCP, the type of "profile" was changed from png_charpp
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004614to png_bytepp, and in png_set_iCCP, from png_charp to png_const_bytep.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9d23b402011-01-08 10:42:01 -06004615
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004616There are changes of form in png.h, including new and changed macros to
4617declare
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf5ea1b72011-01-06 06:42:51 -06004618parts of the API. Some API functions with arguments that are pointers to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004619data not modified within the function have been corrected to declare
4620these arguments with PNG_CONST.
4621
4622Much of the internal use of C macros to control the library build has also
4623changed and some of this is visible in the exported header files, in
4624particular the use of macros to control data and API elements visible
4625during application compilation may require significant revision to
4626application code. (It is extremely rare for an application to do this.)
4627
4628Any program that compiled against libpng 1.4 and did not use deprecated
4629features or access internal library structures should compile and work
4630against libpng 1.5.
4631
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06004632libpng 1.5.0 adds PNG_ PASS macros to help in the reading and writing of
4633interlaced images. The macros return the number of rows and columns in
4634each pass and information that can be used to de-interlace and (if
4635absolutely necessary) interlace an image.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004636
4637libpng 1.5.0 adds an API png_longjmp(png_ptr, value). This API calls
4638the application provided png_longjmp_ptr on the internal, but application
4639initialized, jmpbuf. It is provided as a convenience to avoid the need
4640to use the png_jmpbuf macro, which had the unnecessary side effect of
4641resetting the internal png_longjmp_ptr value.
4642
4643libpng 1.5.0 includes a complete fixed point API. By default this is
4644present along with the corresponding floating point API. In general the
4645fixed point API is faster and smaller than the floating point one because
4646the PNG file format used fixed point, not floating point. This applies
4647even if the library uses floating point in internal calculations. A new
4648macro, PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED, reveals whether the library
4649uses floating point arithmetic (the default) or fixed point arithmetic
4650internally for performance critical calculations such as gamma correction.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson00879b12011-01-15 19:25:34 -06004651In some cases, the gamma calculations may produce slightly different
4652results. This has changed the results in png_rgb_to_gray and in alpha
4653composition (png_set_background for example). This applies even if the
4654original image was already linear (gamma == 1.0) and, therefore, it is
4655not necessary to linearize the image. This is because libpng has *not*
4656been changed to optimize that case correctly, yet.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004657
4658Fixed point support for the sCAL chunk comes with an important caveat;
4659the sCAL specification uses a decimal encoding of floating point values
4660and the accuracy of PNG fixed point values is insufficient for
4661representation of these values. Consequently a "string" API
4662(png_get_sCAL_s and png_set_sCAL_s) is the only reliable way of reading
4663arbitrary sCAL chunks in the absence of either the floating point API or
4664internal floating point calculations.
4665
4666Applications no longer need to include the optional distribution header
4667file pngusr.h or define the corresponding macros during application
4668build in order to see the correct variant of the libpng API. From 1.5.0
4669application code can check for the corresponding _SUPPORTED macro:
4670
4671#ifdef PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
4672 /* code that uses the inch conversion APIs. */
4673#endif
4674
4675This macro will only be defined if the inch conversion functions have been
4676compiled into libpng. The full set of macros, and whether or not support
4677has been compiled in, are available in the header file pnglibconf.h.
4678This header file is specific to the libpng build. Notice that prior to
46791.5.0 the _SUPPORTED macros would always have the default definition unless
4680reset by pngusr.h or by explicit settings on the compiler command line.
4681These settings may produce compiler warnings or errors in 1.5.0 because
4682of macro redefinition.
4683
4684From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
4685function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32. libpng 1.5.0
4686is consistent with the implementation in 1.4.5 and 1.2.x (where the macro
4687did not exist.)
4688
4689Applications can now choose whether to use these macros or to call the
4690corresponding function by defining PNG_USE_READ_MACROS or
4691PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS before including png.h. Notice that this is
4692only supported from 1.5.0 -defining PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS prior to 1.5.0
4693 will lead to a link failure.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004695B. Changes to the build and configuration of libpng
4696
4697Details of internal changes to the library code can be found in the CHANGES
4698file. These will be of no concern to the vast majority of library users or
4699builders, however the few who configure libpng to a non-default feature
4700set may need to change how this is done.
4701
4702There should be no need for library builders to alter build scripts if
4703these use the distributed build support - configure or the makefiles -
4704however users of the makefiles may care to update their build scripts
4705to build pnglibconf.h where the corresponding makefile does not do so.
4706
4707Building libpng with a non-default configuration has changed completely.
4708The old method using pngusr.h should still work correctly even though the
4709way pngusr.h is used in the build has been changed, however library
4710builders will probably want to examine the changes to take advantage of
4711new capabilities and to simplify their build system.
4712
4713B.1 Specific changes to library configuration capabilities
4714
4715The library now supports a complete fixed point implementation and can
4716thus be used on systems which have no floating point support or very
4717limited or slow support. Previously gamma correction, an essential part
4718of complete PNG support, required reasonably fast floating point.
4719
4720As part of this the choice of internal implementation has been made
4721independent of the choice of fixed versus floating point APIs and all the
4722missing fixed point APIs have been implemented.
4723
4724The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
4725changed. A single set of operating system independent macro definitions
4726is used and operating system specific directives are defined in
4727pnglibconf.h
4728
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004729As part of this the mechanism used to choose procedure call standards on
4730those systems that allow a choice has been changed. At present this only
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004731affects certain Microsoft (DOS, Windows) and IBM (OS/2) operating systems
4732running on Intel processors. As before PNGAPI is defined where required
4733to control the exported API functions; however, two new macros, PNGCBAPI
4734and PNGCAPI, are used instead for callback functions (PNGCBAPI) and
4735(PNGCAPI) for functions that must match a C library prototype (currently
4736only png_longjmp_ptr, which must match the C longjmp function.) The new
4737approach is documented in pngconf.h
4738
4739Despite these changes libpng 1.5.0 only supports the native C function
4740calling standard on those platforms tested so far (__cdecl on Microsoft
4741Windows). This is because the support requirements for alternative
4742calling conventions seem to no longer exist. Developers who find it
4743necessary to set PNG_API_RULE to 1 should advise the mailing list
4744(png-mng-implement) of this and library builders who use Openwatcom and
4745therefore set PNG_API_RULE to 2 should also contact the mailing list.
4746
4747A new test program, pngvalid, is provided in addition to pngtest.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004748pngvalid validates the arithmetic accuracy of the gamma correction
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004749calculations and includes a number of validations of the file format.
4750A subset of the full range of tests is run when "make check" is done
4751(in the 'configure' build.) pngvalid also allows total allocated memory
4752usage to be evaluated and performs additional memory overwrite validation.
4753
4754Many changes to individual feature macros have been made. The following
4755are the changes most likely to be noticed by library builders who
4756configure libpng:
4757
47581) All feature macros now have consistent naming:
4759
4760#define PNG_NO_feature turns the feature off
4761#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED turns the feature on
4762
4763pnglibconf.h contains one line for each feature macro which is either:
4764
4765#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
4766
4767if the feature is supported or:
4768
4769/*#undef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED*/
4770
4771if it is not. Library code consistently checks for the 'SUPPORTED' macro.
4772It does not, and should not, check for the 'NO' macro which will not
4773normally be defined even if the feature is not supported.
4774
4775Compatibility with the old names is provided as follows:
4776
4777PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS turns on PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
4778
4779And the following definitions disable the corresponding feature:
4780
4781PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED disables SETJMP
4782PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_TRANSFORMS
4783PNG_NO_READ_COMPOSITED_NODIV disables READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV
4784PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_TRANSFORMS
4785PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4786PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4787
4788Library builders should remove use of the above, inconsistent, names.
4789
47902) Warning and error message formatting was previously conditional on
4791the STDIO feature. The library has been changed to use the
4792CONSOLE_IO feature instead. This means that if CONSOLE_IO is disabled
4793the library no longer uses the printf(3) functions, even though the
4794default read/write implementations use (FILE) style stdio.h functions.
4795
47963) Three feature macros now control the fixed/floating point decisions:
4797
4798PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the floating point APIs
4799
4800PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the fixed point APIs; however, in
4801practice these are normally required internally anyway (because the PNG
4802file format is fixed point), therefore in most cases PNG_NO_FIXED_POINT
4803merely stops the function from being exported.
4804
4805PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED chooses between the internal floating
4806point implementation or the fixed point one. Typically the fixed point
4807implementation is larger and slower than the floating point implementation
4808on a system that supports floating point, however it may be faster on a
4809system which lacks floating point hardware and therefore uses a software
4810emulation.
4811
48124) Added PNG_{READ,WRITE}_INT_FUNCTIONS_SUPPORTED. This allows the
4813functions to read and write ints to be disabled independently of
4814PNG_USE_READ_MACROS, which allows libpng to be built with the functions
4815even though the default is to use the macros - this allows applications
4816to choose at app buildtime whether or not to use macros (previously
4817impossible because the functions weren't in the default build.)
4818
4819B.2 Changes to the configuration mechanism
4820
4821Prior to libpng-1.5.0 library builders who needed to configure libpng
4822had either to modify the exported pngconf.h header file to add system
4823specific configuration or had to write feature selection macros into
4824pngusr.h and cause this to be included into pngconf.h by defining
4825PNG_USER_CONFIG. The latter mechanism had the disadvantage that an
4826application built without PNG_USER_CONFIG defined would see the
4827unmodified, default, libpng API and thus would probably fail to link.
4828
4829These mechanisms still work in the configure build and in any makefile
4830build that builds pnglibconf.h although the feature selection macros
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004831have changed somewhat as described above. In 1.5.0, however, pngusr.h is
4832processed only once, when the exported header file pnglibconf.h is built.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004833pngconf.h no longer includes pngusr.h, therefore it is ignored after the
4834build of pnglibconf.h and it is never included in an application build.
4835
4836The rarely used alternative of adding a list of feature macros to the
4837CFLAGS setting in the build also still works, however the macros will be
4838copied to pnglibconf.h and this may produce macro redefinition warnings
4839when the individual C files are compiled.
4840
4841All configuration now only works if pnglibconf.h is built from
4842scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This requires the program awk. Brian Kernighan
4843(the original author of awk) maintains C source code of that awk and this
4844and all known later implementations (often called by subtly different
4845names - nawk and gawk for example) are adequate to build pnglibconf.h.
4846The Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) program 'awk' is an earlier version
4847and does not work, this may also apply to other systems that have a
4848functioning awk called 'nawk'.
4849
4850Configuration options are now documented in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This
4851file also includes dependency information that ensures a configuration is
4852consistent; that is, if a feature is switched off dependent features are
4853also removed. As a recommended alternative to using feature macros in
4854pngusr.h a system builder may also define equivalent options in pngusr.dfa
4855(or, indeed, any file) and add that to the configuration by setting
4856DFA_XTRA to the file name. The makefiles in contrib/pngminim illustrate
4857how to do this, and a case where pngusr.h is still required.
4858
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004859.SH XI. Detecting libpng
Glenn Randers-Pehrson424c9852009-06-02 13:45:15 -05004860
4861The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never
4862changed, and is unaffected by conditional compilation macros. It is the
4863best choice for use in configure scripts for detecting the presence of any
Glenn Randers-Pehrson99708d52009-06-29 17:30:00 -05004864libpng version since 0.88. In an autoconf "configure.in" you could use
4865
4866 AC_CHECK_LIB(png, png_get_io_ptr, ...

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004868.SH XII. Source code repository
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004869
4870Since about February 2009, version 1.2.34, libpng has been under "git" source
4871control. The git repository was built from old libpng-x.y.z.tar.gz files
4872going back to version 0.70. You can access the git repository (read only)
4873at
4874
4875 git://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libpng
4876
4877or you can browse it via "gitweb" at
4878
4879 http://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libpng
4880
4881Patches can be sent to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net or to
4882png-mng-implement at lists.sourceforge.net or you can upload them to
4883the libpng bug tracker at
4884
4885 http://libpng.sourceforge.net
4886
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004887We also accept patches built from the tar or zip distributions, and
4888simple verbal discriptions of bug fixes, reported either to the
4889SourceForge bug tracker or to the png-mng-implement at lists.sf.net
4890mailing list.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004892.SH XIII. Coding style
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004893
4894Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style, with curly
4895braces on separate lines:
4896
4897 if (condition)
4898 {
4899 action;
4900 }
4901
4902 else if (another condition)
4903 {
4904 another action;
4905 }
4906
4907The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
4908
4909 if (condition)
4910 return (0);
4911
4912We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
4913are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
4914plus four more spaces.
4915
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5ade7ed2009-09-30 15:11:49 -05004916For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
4917in the first column.
4918
4919 #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
4920 # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
4921 # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
4922 # endif
4923 #endif
4924
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004925Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
4926the statement that follows the comment:
4927
4928 /* Single-line comment */
4929 statement;
4930

4934 statement;
4935
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone4c706a2010-03-06 14:51:54 -06004936Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004937to which they pertain:
4938
4939 statement; /* comment */
4940
4941We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
4942used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
4943code.
4944
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonb5444a12009-06-08 08:36:19 -05004945Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004946exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:

5004Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
5005an official declaration.
5006
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005007This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
Glenn Randers-Pehrson135d17c2011-01-24 00:16:54 -06005008upward through 1.5.1beta10 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005009versions were also Y2K compliant.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005010
5011Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that
5012will hold years up to 65535. The other two hold the date in text
5013format, and will hold years up to 9999.
5014
5015The integer is
5016 "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
5017
5018The strings are
5019 "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
5020 "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.
5021
5022There are seven time-related functions:
5023
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06005024 png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005025 (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06005026 png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called
5027 in pngwrite.c
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005028 png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
5029 png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
5030 png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
5031 png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
5032 png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
5033
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06005034All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005035png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
5036clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
5037the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using
5038libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005039function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
5040instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
5041but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
5042stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
5043documented as such.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005044
5045The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
5046integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
5047
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005048zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
5049no date-related code.

5057
5058Note about libpng version numbers:
5059
5060Due to various miscommunications, unforeseen code incompatibilities
5061and occasional factors outside the authors' control, version numbering
5062on the library has not always been consistent and straightforward.
5063The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was
5064the first widely used release:

5194and patch numbers; the shared-library major version number will be
5195used for changes in backward compatibility, as it is intended. The
5196PNG_PNGLIB_VER macro, which is not used within libpng but is available
5197for applications, is an unsigned integer of the form xyyzz corresponding
5198to the source version x.y.z (leading zeros in y and z). Beta versions
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone1644472001-03-23 05:06:56 -06005199were given the previous public release number plus a letter, until
5200version 1.0.6j; from then on they were given the upcoming public
5201release number plus "betaNN" or "rcN".
