958.SH I. Introduction
959
960This file describes how to use and modify the PNG reference library
961(known as libpng) for your own use. There are five sections to this
962file: introduction, structures, reading, writing, and modification and
963configuration notes for various special platforms. In addition to this
964file, example.c is a good starting point for using the library, as
965it is heavily commented and should include everything most people
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -0600966will need. We assume that libpng is already installed; see the
967INSTALL file for instructions on how to install libpng.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -0600968
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500969For examples of libpng usage, see the files "example.c", "pngtest.c",
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -0600970and the files in the "contrib" directory, all of which are included in
971the libpng distribution.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500972
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -0600973Libpng was written as a companion to the PNG specification, as a way
974of reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to support the PNG
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -0500975file format in application programs.
976
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -0500977The PNG specification (second edition), November 2003, is available as
978a W3C Recommendation and as an ISO Standard (ISO/IEC 15948:2003 (E)) at
979<http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/
980The W3C and ISO documents have identical technical content.
981
982The PNG-1.2 specification is available at
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500983<http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/>. It is technically equivalent
984to the PNG specification (second edition) but has some additional material.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -0500985
986The PNG-1.0 specification is available
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -0500987as RFC 2083 <http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/documents/> and as a
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -0500988W3C Recommendation <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC.png.html>.

997Most users will not have to modify the library significantly; advanced
998users may want to modify it more. All attempts were made to make it as
999complete as possible, while keeping the code easy to understand.
1000Currently, this library only supports C. Support for other languages
1001is being considered.
1002
1003Libpng has been designed to handle multiple sessions at one time,
1004to be easily modifiable, to be portable to the vast majority of
1005machines (ANSI, K&R, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit) available, and to be easy
1006to use. The ultimate goal of libpng is to promote the acceptance of
1007the PNG file format in whatever way possible. While there is still
1008work to be done (see the TODO file), libpng should cover the
1009majority of the needs of its users.
1010
1011Libpng uses zlib for its compression and decompression of PNG files.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06001012Further information about zlib, and the latest version of zlib, can
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond56aca72000-11-23 11:51:42 -06001013be found at the zlib home page, <http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/>.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001014The zlib compression utility is a general purpose utility that is
1015useful for more than PNG files, and can be used without libpng.
1016See the documentation delivered with zlib for more details.
1017You can usually find the source files for the zlib utility wherever you
1018find the libpng source files.
1019
1020Libpng is thread safe, provided the threads are using different
1021instances of the structures. Each thread should have its own
1022png_struct and png_info instances, and thus its own image.
1023Libpng does not protect itself against two threads using the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson56f63962008-10-06 10:16:17 -05001024same instance of a structure.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001025
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001026.SH II. Structures
1027
1028There are two main structures that are important to libpng, png_struct
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001029and png_info. Both are internal structures that are no longer exposed
1030in the libpng interface (as of libpng 1.5.0).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001031
1032The png_info structure is designed to provide information about the
1033PNG file. At one time, the fields of png_info were intended to be
1034directly accessible to the user. However, this tended to cause problems
1035with applications using dynamically loaded libraries, and as a result
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05001036a set of interface functions for png_info (the png_get_*() and png_set_*()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001037functions) was developed.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05001038
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001039The png_struct structure is the object used by the library to decode a
1040single image. As of 1.5.0 this structure is also not exposed.
1041
1042Almost all libpng APIs require a pointer to a png_struct as the first argument.
1043Many (in particular the png_set and png_get APIs) also require a pointer
1044to png_info as the second argument. Some application visible macros
1045defined in png.h designed for basic data access (reading and writing
1046integers in the PNG format) break this rule, but it's almost always safe
1047to assume that a (png_struct*) has to be passed to call an API function.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001048
1049The png.h header file is an invaluable reference for programming with libpng.
1050And while I'm on the topic, make sure you include the libpng header file:
1051
1052#include <png.h>
1053
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001054.SS Types
1055
1056The png.h header file defines a number of integral types used by the
1057APIs. Most of these are fairly obvious; for example types corresponding
1058to integers of particular sizes and types for passing color values.
1059
1060One exception is how non-integral numbers are handled. For application
1061convenience most APIs that take such numbers have C (double) arguments,
1062however internally PNG, and libpng, use 32 bit signed integers and encode
1063the value by multiplying by 100,000. As of libpng 1.5.0 a convenience
1064macro PNG_FP_1 is defined in png.h along with a type (png_fixed_point)
1065which is simply (png_int_32).
1066
1067All APIs that take (double) arguments also have an matching API that
1068takes the corresponding fixed point integer arguments. The fixed point
1069API has the same name as the floating point one with _fixed appended.
1070The actual range of values permitted in the APIs is frequently less than
1071the full range of (png_fixed_point) (-21474 to +21474). When APIs require
1072a non-negative argument the type is recorded as png_uint_32 above. Consult
1073the header file and the text below for more information.
1074
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06001075Special care must be take with sCAL chunk handling because the chunk itself
1076uses non-integral values encoded as strings containing decimal floating point
1077numbers. See the comments in the header file.
1078
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05001079.SS Configuration
1080
1081The main header file function declarations are frequently protected by C
1082preprocessing directives of the form:
1083
1084 #ifdef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
1085 declare-function
1086 #endif
1087
1088The library can be built without support for these APIs, although a
1089standard build will have all implemented APIs. Application programs
1090should check the feature macros before using an API for maximum
1091portability. From libpng 1.5.0 the feature macros set during the build
1092of libpng are recorded in the header file "pnglibconf.h" and this file
1093is always included by png.h.
1094
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06001095If you don't need to change the library configuration from the default skip to
1096the next section ("Reading").
1097
1098Notice that some of the makefiles in the 'scripts' directory and (in 1.5.0) all
1099of the build project files in the 'projects' directory simply copy
1100scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt to pnglibconf.h. This means that these build
1101systems do not permit easy auto-configuration of the library - they only
1102support the default configuration.
1103
1104The easiest way to make minor changes to the libpng configuration when
1105auto-configuration is supported is to add definitions to the command line
1106using (typically) CPPFLAGS. For example:
1107
1108CPPFLAGS=-DPNG_NO_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC
1109
1110will change the internal libpng math implementation for gamma correction and
1111other arithmetic calculations to fixed point, avoiding the need for fast
1112floating point support. The result can be seen in the generated pnglibconf.h -
1113make sure it contains the changed feature macro setting.
1114
1115If you need to make more extensive configuration changes - more than one or two
1116feature macro settings - you can either add -DPNG_USER_CONFIG to the build
1117command line and put a list of feature macro settings in pngusr.h or you can set
1118DFA_XTRA (a makefile variable) to a file containing the same information in the
1119form of 'option' settings.
1120
1121A. Changing pnglibconf.h
1122
1123A variety of methods exist to build libpng. Not all of these support
1124reconfiguration of pnglibconf.h. To reconfigure pnglibconf.h it must either be
1125rebuilt from scripts/pnglibconf.dfa using awk or it must be edited by hand.
1126
1127Hand editing is achieved by copying scripts/pnglibconf.h.prebuilt and changing
1128the lines defining the supported features, paying very close attention to the
1129'option' information in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa that describes those features and
1130their requirements. This is easy to get wrong.
1131
1132B. Configuration using DFA_XTRA
1133
1134Rebuilding from pnglibconf.dfa is easy if a functioning 'awk', or a later
1135variant such as 'nawk' or 'gawk', is available. The configure build will
1136automatically find an appropriate awk and build pnglibconf.h.
1137scripts/pnglibconf.mak contains a set of make rules for doing the same thing if
1138configure is not used, and many of the makefiles in the scripts directory use
1139this approach.
1140
1141When rebuilding simply write new file containing changed options and set
1142DFA_XTRA to the name of this file. This causes the build to append the new file
1143to the end of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. pngusr.dfa should contain lines of the
1144following forms:
1145
1146everything = off
1147
1148This turns all optional features off. Include it at the start of pngusr.dfa to
1149make it easier to build a minimal configuration. You will need to turn at least
1150some features on afterward to enable either reading or writing code, or both.
1151
1152option feature on
1153option feature off
1154
1155Enable or disable a single feature. This will automatically enable other
1156features required by a feature that is turned on or disable other features that
1157require a feature which is turned off. Conflicting settings will cause an error
1158message to be emitted by awk.
1159
1160setting feature default value
1161
1162Changes the default value of setting 'feature' to 'value'. There are a small
1163number of settings listed at the top of pnglibconf.h, they are documented in the
1164source code. Most of these values have performance implications for the library
1165but most of them have no visible effect on the API. Some can also be overridden
1166from the API.
1167
1168C. Configuration using PNG_USR_CONFIG
1169
1170If -DPNG_USR_CONFIG is added to the CFLAGS when pnglibconf.h is built the file
1171pngusr.h will automatically be included before the options in
1172scripts/pnglibconf.dfa are processed. pngusr.h should contain only macro
1173definitions turning features on or off or setting settings.
1174
1175Apart from the global setting "everything = off" all the options listed above
1176can be set using macros in pngusr.h:
1177
1178#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
1179
1180is equivalent to:
1181
1182option feature on
1183
1184#define PNG_NO_feature
1185
1186is equivalent to:
1187
1188option feature off
1189
1190#define PNG_feature value
1191
1192is equivalent to:
1193
1194setting feature default value
1195
1196Notice that in both cases, pngusr.dfa and pngusr.h, the contents of the
1197pngusr file you supply override the contents of scripts/pnglibconf.dfa
1198
1199If confusing or incomprehensible behavior results it is possible to
1200examine the intermediate file pnglibconf.dfn to find the full set of
1201dependency information for each setting and option. Simply locate the
1202feature in the file and read the C comments that precede it.
1203
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001204.SH III. Reading
1205
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001206We'll now walk you through the possible functions to call when reading
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001207in a PNG file sequentially, briefly explaining the syntax and purpose
1208of each one. See example.c and png.h for more detail. While
1209progressive reading is covered in the next section, you will still
1210need some of the functions discussed in this section to read a PNG
1211file.
1212
1213.SS Setup
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001214
1215You will want to do the I/O initialization(*) before you get into libpng,
1216so if it doesn't work, you don't have much to undo. Of course, you
1217will also want to insure that you are, in fact, dealing with a PNG
1218file. Libpng provides a simple check to see if a file is a PNG file.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05001219To use it, pass in the first 1 to 8 bytes of the file to the function
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05001220png_sig_cmp(), and it will return 0 (false) if the bytes match the
1221corresponding bytes of the PNG signature, or nonzero (true) otherwise.
1222Of course, the more bytes you pass in, the greater the accuracy of the
1223prediction.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001224
1225If you are intending to keep the file pointer open for use in libpng,
1226you must ensure you don't read more than 8 bytes from the beginning
1227of the file, and you also have to make a call to png_set_sig_bytes_read()
1228with the number of bytes you read from the beginning. Libpng will
1229then only check the bytes (if any) that your program didn't read.
1230
1231(*): If you are not using the standard I/O functions, you will need
1232to replace them with custom functions. See the discussion under
1233Customizing libpng.
1234
1235
1236 FILE *fp = fopen(file_name, "rb");
1237 if (!fp)
1238 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001239 return (ERROR);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001240 }

Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc9442291999-01-06 21:50:16 -06001243 is_png = !png_sig_cmp(header, 0, number);

1246 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001247 return (NOT_PNG);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001248 }
1249
1250
1251Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized. In
1252order to ensure that the size of these structures is correct even with a
1253dynamically linked libpng, there are functions to initialize and
1254allocate the structures. We also pass the library version, optional
1255pointers to error handling functions, and a pointer to a data struct for
1256use by the error functions, if necessary (the pointer and functions can
1257be NULL if the default error handlers are to be used). See the section
1258on Changes to Libpng below regarding the old initialization functions.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson104622b2000-05-29 08:58:03 -05001259The structure allocation functions quietly return NULL if they fail to
1260create the structure, so your application should check for that.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05001287If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001288use a libpng that was built with PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED defined, and use
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05001289png_create_read_struct_2() instead of png_create_read_struct():
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001290
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05001291 png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct_2
1292 (PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, (png_voidp)user_error_ptr,
1293 user_error_fn, user_warning_fn, (png_voidp)
1294 user_mem_ptr, user_malloc_fn, user_free_fn);
1295
1296The error handling routines passed to png_create_read_struct()
1297and the memory alloc/free routines passed to png_create_struct_2()
1298are only necessary if you are not using the libpng supplied error
1299handling and memory alloc/free functions.
1300
1301When libpng encounters an error, it expects to longjmp back
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06001302to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call setjmp and pass
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06001303your png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you read the file from different
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001304routines, you will need to update the jmpbuf field every time you enter
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06001305a new routine that will call a png_*() function.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001306
1307See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp for your compiler for more
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06001308information on setjmp/longjmp. See the discussion on libpng error
1309handling in the Customizing Libpng section below for more information
1310on the libpng error handling. If an error occurs, and libpng longjmp's
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001311back to your setjmp, you will want to call png_destroy_read_struct() to
1312free any memory.
1313
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06001314 if (setjmp(png_jmpbuf(png_ptr)))

1319 return (ERROR);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001320 }
1321
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001322If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05001323you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001324errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
1325
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05001326You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
1327more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
1328return.
1329
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06001330Now you need to set up the input code. The default for libpng is to
1331use the C function fread(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
1332valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
1333opened in binary mode. If you wish to handle reading data in another
1334way, you need not call the png_init_io() function, but you must then
1335implement the libpng I/O methods discussed in the Customizing Libpng
1336section below.
1337
1338 png_init_io(png_ptr, fp);
1339
1340If you had previously opened the file and read any of the signature from
1341the beginning in order to see if this was a PNG file, you need to let
1342libpng know that there are some bytes missing from the start of the file.
1343
1344 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, number);
1345
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06001346You can change the zlib compression buffer size to be used while
1347reading compressed data with
1348
1349 png_set_compression_buffer_size(png_ptr, buffer_size);
1350
1351where the default size is 8192 bytes. Note that the buffer size
1352is changed immediately and the buffer is reallocated immediately,
1353instead of setting a flag to be acted upon later.
1354
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9dd1cdf2011-01-06 21:42:36 -06001355If you want CRC errors to be handled in a different manner than
1356the default, use
1357
1358 png_set_crc_action(png_ptr, crit_action, ancil_action);
1359
1360The values for png_set_crc_action() say how libpng is to handle CRC errors in
1361ancillary and critical chunks, and whether to use the data contained
1362therein. Note that it is impossible to "discard" data in a critical
1363chunk.
1364
1365Choices for (int) crit_action are
1366 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
1367 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
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
1371
1372Choices for (int) ancil_action are
1373 PNG_CRC_DEFAULT 0 error/quit
1374 PNG_CRC_ERROR_QUIT 1 error/quit
1375 PNG_CRC_WARN_DISCARD 2 warn/discard data
1376 PNG_CRC_WARN_USE 3 warn/use data
1377 PNG_CRC_QUIET_USE 4 quiet/use data
1378 PNG_CRC_NO_CHANGE 5 use the current value

1403 return (-n); /* chunk had an error */
1404 return (0); /* did not recognize */
1405 return (n); /* success */
1406 }
1407
1408(You can give your function another name that you like instead of
1409"read_chunk_callback")
1410
1411To inform libpng about your function, use
1412
1413 png_set_read_user_chunk_fn(png_ptr, user_chunk_ptr,
1414 read_chunk_callback);
1415
1416This names not only the callback function, but also a user pointer that
1417you can retrieve with
1418
1419 png_get_user_chunk_ptr(png_ptr);
1420
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001421If you call the png_set_read_user_chunk_fn() function, then all unknown
1422chunks will be saved when read, in case your callback function will need
1423one or more of them. This behavior can be changed with the
1424png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() function, described below.
1425
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06001426At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
1427called after each row has been read, which you can use to control
1428a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
1429You must supply a function
1430
Glenn Randers-Pehrson81ce8892011-01-24 08:04:37 -06001431 void read_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr,

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001443.SS Unknown-chunk handling
1444
1445Now you get to set the way the library processes unknown chunks in the
1446input PNG stream. Both known and unknown chunks will be read. Normal
1447behavior is that known chunks will be parsed into information in
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001448various info_ptr members while unknown chunks will be discarded. This
1449behavior can be wasteful if your application will never use some known
1450chunk types. To change this, you can call:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001451
Glenn Randers-Pehrson272489d2004-08-04 06:34:52 -05001452 png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, keep,

Glenn Randers-Pehrsond029a752004-08-09 21:50:32 -05001459 You can use these definitions:
1460 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_AS_DEFAULT 0
1461 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_NEVER 1
1462 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_IF_SAFE 2
1463 PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS 3
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001464
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001465 chunk_list - list of chunks affected (a byte string,
1466 five bytes per chunk, NULL or '\0' if
1467 num_chunks is 0)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001468
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001469 num_chunks - number of chunks affected; if 0, all
Glenn Randers-Pehrsondff799e2004-08-07 21:42:49 -05001470 unknown chunks are affected. If nonzero,
1471 only the chunks in the list are affected
1472
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001473Unknown chunks declared in this way will be saved as raw data onto a
1474list of png_unknown_chunk structures. If a chunk that is normally
1475known to libpng is named in the list, it will be handled as unknown,
1476according to the "keep" directive. If a chunk is named in successive
1477instances of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(), the final instance will
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond029a752004-08-09 21:50:32 -05001478take precedence. The IHDR and IEND chunks should not be named in
1479chunk_list; if they are, libpng will process them normally anyway.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001480
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001481Here is an example of the usage of png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(),

Glenn Randers-Pehrson800d1e92008-08-20 17:25:21 -05001513.SS User limits
1514
1515The PNG specification allows the width and height of an image to be as
1516large as 2^31-1 (0x7fffffff), or about 2.147 billion rows and columns.
1517Since very few applications really need to process such large images,
1518we have imposed an arbitrary 1-million limit on rows and columns.
1519Larger images will be rejected immediately with a png_error() call. If
1520you wish to override this limit, you can use
1521
1522 png_set_user_limits(png_ptr, width_max, height_max);
1523
1524to set your own limits, or use width_max = height_max = 0x7fffffffL
1525to allow all valid dimensions (libpng may reject some very large images
1526anyway because of potential buffer overflow conditions).
1527
1528You should put this statement after you create the PNG structure and
1529before calling png_read_info(), png_read_png(), or png_process_data().
1530If you need to retrieve the limits that are being applied, use
1531
1532 width_max = png_get_user_width_max(png_ptr);
1533 height_max = png_get_user_height_max(png_ptr);
1534
1535The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
1536allowed in a PNG datastream. You can impose a limit on the total number
1537of sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks that will be stored, with
1538
1539 png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);
1540
1541where 0x7fffffffL means unlimited. You can retrieve this limit with
1542
1543 chunk_cache_max = png_get_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr);
1544
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8f5846f2009-10-31 21:31:08 -05001545This limit also applies to the number of buffers that can be allocated
1546by png_decompress_chunk() while decompressing iTXt, zTXt, and iCCP chunks.
1547
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06001548You can also set a limit on the amount of memory that a compressed chunk
1549other than IDAT can occupy, with
1550
1551 png_set_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_malloc_max);
1552
1553and you can retrieve the limit with
1554
1555 chunk_malloc_max = png_get_chunk_malloc_max(png_ptr);
1556
1557Any chunks that would cause either of these limits to be exceeded will
1558be ignored.

1564You can use the high-level interface if (a) you are willing to read

1594
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06001595where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some
1596set of transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_read_info(),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001597followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001598then png_read_image(), and finally png_read_end().

1601to transformation parameters required by some future input transform.)
1602
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -05001603You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
1604when you use png_read_png().
1605
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001606After you have called png_read_png(), you can retrieve the image data
1607with
1608
1609 row_pointers = png_get_rows(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1610
1611where row_pointers is an array of pointers to the pixel data for each row:
1612
1613 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
1614
1615If you know your image size and pixel size ahead of time, you can allocate
1616row_pointers prior to calling png_read_png() with
1617
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05001618 if (height > PNG_UINT_32_MAX/png_sizeof(png_byte))

Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05001637
1638Alternatively you could allocate your image in one big block and define
1639row_pointers[i] to point into the proper places in your block.
1640
1641If you use png_set_rows(), the application is responsible for freeing
1642row_pointers (and row_pointers[i], if they were separately allocated).
1643
1644If you don't allocate row_pointers ahead of time, png_read_png() will
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001645do it, and it'll be free'ed by libpng when you call png_destroy_*().

1647.SS The low-level read interface
1648
1649If you are going the low-level route, you are now ready to read all
1650the file information up to the actual image data. You do this with a
1651call to png_read_info().

1653 png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
1654
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06001655This will process all chunks up to but not including the image data.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06001989 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown"] if

1993 Note that because of the way the resolutions are
1994 stored internally, the inch conversions won't
1995 come out to exactly even number. For example,
1996 72 dpi is stored as 0.28346 pixels/meter, and
1997 when this is retrieved it is 71.9988 dpi, so
1998 be sure to round the returned value appropriately
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc36bb792011-02-12 09:49:07 -06001999 if you want to display a reasonable-looking result.

2011
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002012 Each of these returns 0 [signifying "unknown" if both
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06002013 x and y are 0] if the data is not present or if the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002014 chunk is present but the unit is the pixel. The
2015 remark about inexact inch conversions applies here
2016 as well, because a value in inches can't always be
2017 converted to microns and back without some loss
2018 of precision.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05002019
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002020For more information, see the png_info definition in png.h and the
2021PNG specification for chunk contents. Be careful with trusting
2022rowbytes, as some of the transformations could increase the space
2023needed to hold a row (expand, filler, gray_to_rgb, etc.).
2024See png_read_update_info(), below.
2025
2026A quick word about text_ptr and num_text. PNG stores comments in
2027keyword/text pairs, one pair per chunk, with no limit on the number
2028of text chunks, and a 2^31 byte limit on their size. While there are
2029suggested keywords, there is no requirement to restrict the use to these
2030strings. It is strongly suggested that keywords and text be sensible
2031to humans (that's the point), so don't use abbreviations. Non-printing
2032symbols are not allowed. See the PNG specification for more details.
2033There is also no requirement to have text after the keyword.
2034
2035Keywords should be limited to 79 Latin-1 characters without leading or
2036trailing spaces, but non-consecutive spaces are allowed within the
2037keyword. It is possible to have the same keyword any number of times.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002038The text_ptr is an array of png_text structures, each holding a
2039pointer to a language string, a pointer to a keyword and a pointer to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05002040a text string. The text string, language code, and translated
2041keyword may be empty or NULL pointers. The keyword/text
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002042pairs are put into the array in the order that they are received.
2043However, some or all of the text chunks may be after the image, so, to
2044make sure you have read all the text chunks, don't mess with these
2045until after you read the stuff after the image. This will be
2046mentioned again below in the discussion that goes with png_read_end().

2049
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002050After you've read the header information, you can set up the library
2051to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
2052ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
2053should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
2054type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
2055certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002056checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002057make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
2058data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
2059
2060The colors used for the background and transparency values should be
2061supplied in the same format/depth as the current image data. They
2062are stored in the same format/depth as the image data in a bKGD or tRNS
2063chunk, so this is what libpng expects for this data. The colors are
2064transformed to keep in sync with the image data when an application
2065calls the png_read_update_info() routine (see below).
2066
2067Data will be decoded into the supplied row buffers packed into bytes
2068unless the library has been told to transform it into another format.
2069For example, 4 bit/pixel paletted or grayscale data will be returned
20702 pixels/byte with the leftmost pixel in the high-order bits of the
2071byte, unless png_set_packing() is called. 8-bit RGB data will be stored
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002072in RGB RGB RGB format unless png_set_filler() or png_set_add_alpha()
2073is called to insert filler bytes, either before or after each RGB triplet.
207416-bit RGB data will be returned RRGGBB RRGGBB, with the most significant
2075byte of the color value first, unless png_set_strip_16() is called to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson16e11662004-11-01 14:13:40 -06002076transform it to regular RGB RGB triplets, or png_set_filler() or
2077png_set_add alpha() is called to insert filler bytes, either before or
2078after each RRGGBB triplet. Similarly, 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale data can
2079be modified with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002080png_set_filler(), png_set_add_alpha(), or png_set_strip_16().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002081
2082The following code transforms grayscale images of less than 8 to 8 bits,
2083changes paletted images to RGB, and adds a full alpha channel if there is
2084transparency information in a tRNS chunk. This is most useful on
2085grayscale images with bit depths of 2 or 4 or if there is a multiple-image
2086viewing application that wishes to treat all images in the same way.

2097The first two functions are actually aliases for png_set_expand(), added
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05002098in libpng version 1.0.4, with the function names expanded to improve code
2099readability. In some future version they may actually do different
2100things.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002101
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ce08362006-03-08 23:35:59 -06002102As of libpng version 1.2.9, png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was
2103added. It expands the sample depth without changing tRNS to alpha.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05002104
John Bowler63d059a2011-02-12 09:03:44 -06002105As of libpng version 1.5.2, png_set_expand_16() was added. It behaves as
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc36bb792011-02-12 09:49:07 -06002106png_set_expand(), however, the resultant channels have 16 bits rather than 8.
2107Use this when the output color or gray channels are made linear to avoid fairly
John Bowler63d059a2011-02-12 09:03:44 -06002108severe accuracy loss.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002113PNG can have files with 16 bits per channel. If you only can handle
21148 bits per channel, this will strip the pixels down to 8 bit.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002119If, for some reason, you don't need the alpha channel on an image,
2120and you want to remove it rather than combining it with the background
2121(but the image author certainly had in mind that you *would* combine
2122it with the background, so that's what you should probably do):
2123

John Bowler63d059a2011-02-12 09:03:44 -06002127See below for png_set_background(), which does the correct composition on a
2128single opaque color. This is probably what you should do in all cases rather
2129than use png_set_strip_alpha() - unless you know for sure that it is the wrong
2130thing to do.
2131
2132As of libpng version 1.5.2, almost all useful expansions are supported, the
2133major ommissions are convertion of grayscale to indexed images (which can be
2134done trivially in the application) and convertion of indexed to grayscale (which
2135can be done by a trivial manipulation of the palette.)
2136
2137In the following table, the 01 means grayscale with depth<8, 31 means
2138indexed with depth<8, other numerals represent the color type, "T" means
2139the tRNS chunk is present, A means an alpha channel is present, and O
2140means tRNS or alpha is present but all pixels in the image are opaque.

2160Within the matrix,

2163 "." means nothing is necessary (a tRNS chunk can just be ignored).
2164 "t" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_tRNS.
2165 "A" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_add_alpha().
2166 "X" means the transformation is obtained by png_set_expand().
2167 "1" means the transformation is obtained by

2183When an entry has multiple transforms listed all are required to cause the

2185either will do the job. When transforms are enclosed in [] the transform should
2186do the job but this is currently unimplemented - a different format will result
2187if the suggested transformations are used.
2188
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002189In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image
2190is the level of opacity. If you need the alpha channel in an image to
2191be the level of transparency instead of opacity, you can invert the
2192alpha channel (or the tRNS chunk data) after it's read, so that 0 is
2193fully opaque and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535 (in 16-bit
2194images) is fully transparent, with
2195
2196 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
2197
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002198PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
2199they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit
2200files. This code expands to 1 pixel per byte without changing the
2201values of the pixels:
2202
2203 if (bit_depth < 8)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002204 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002205
2206PNG files have possible bit depths of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. All pixels
2207stored in a PNG image have been "scaled" or "shifted" up to the next
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06002208higher possible bit depth (e.g. from 5 bits/sample in the range [0,31]
2209to 8 bits/sample in the range [0, 255]). However, it is also possible
2210to convert the PNG pixel data back to the original bit depth of the
2211image. This call reduces the pixels back down to the original bit depth:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002212
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ea0ff32001-08-07 22:25:59 -05002213 png_color_8p sig_bit;
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002214

Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002216 png_set_shift(png_ptr, sig_bit);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002217
2218PNG files store 3-color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
2219changes the storage of the pixels to blue, green, red:
2220
2221 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2222 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002223 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002224
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1b8e5672001-08-25 06:46:06 -05002225PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code expands them
2226into 4 or 8 bytes for windowing systems that need them in this format:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002227
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1b8e5672001-08-25 06:46:06 -05002228 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002229 png_set_filler(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002230
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05002231where "filler" is the 8 or 16-bit number to fill with, and the location is
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002232either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether
2233you want the filler before the RGB or after. This transformation
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1b8e5672001-08-25 06:46:06 -05002234does not affect images that already have full alpha channels. To add an
2235opaque alpha channel, use filler=0xff or 0xffff and PNG_FILLER_AFTER which
2236will generate RGBA pixels.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002237
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002238Note that png_set_filler() does not change the color type. If you want
2239to do that, you can add a true alpha channel with
2240
2241 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002242 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2243 png_set_add_alpha(png_ptr, filler, PNG_FILLER_AFTER);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002244
2245where "filler" contains the alpha value to assign to each pixel.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson16e11662004-11-01 14:13:40 -06002246This function was added in libpng-1.2.7.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b779162004-09-04 13:25:08 -05002247
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002248If you are reading an image with an alpha channel, and you need the
2249data as ARGB instead of the normal PNG format RGBA:
2250
2251 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002252 png_set_swap_alpha(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002253
2254For some uses, you may want a grayscale image to be represented as
2255RGB. This code will do that conversion:
2256
2257 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
2258 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002259 png_set_gray_to_rgb(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002260
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002261Conversely, you can convert an RGB or RGBA image to grayscale or grayscale
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002262with alpha.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002263
2264 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB ||
2265 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002266 png_set_rgb_to_gray_fixed(png_ptr, error_action,

Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002282 green_weight: weight of green component times 100000
2283 If either weight is negative, default
2284 weights (21268, 71514) are used.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002285
2286If you have set error_action = 1 or 2, you can
2287later check whether the image really was gray, after processing
2288the image rows, with the png_get_rgb_to_gray_status(png_ptr) function.
2289It will return a png_byte that is zero if the image was gray or
22901 if there were any non-gray pixels. bKGD and sBIT data
2291will be silently converted to grayscale, using the green channel
2292data, regardless of the error_action setting.
2293
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002294With red_weight+green_weight<=100000,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06002295the normalized graylevel is computed:
2296
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002297 int rw = red_weight * 65536;
2298 int gw = green_weight * 65536;
2299 int bw = 65536 - (rw + gw);
2300 gray = (rw*red + gw*green + bw*blue)/65536;

Glenn Randers-Pehrson73d57cb2002-03-25 18:49:08 -06002316png_set_expand(), or png_set_gray_to_rgb to change to truecolor or to
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond0dce401998-05-09 10:02:29 -05002317a higher bit-depth, you must either supply the background color as a gray
2318value at the original file bit-depth (need_expand = 1) or else supply the
2319background color as an RGB triplet at the final, expanded bit depth
2320(need_expand = 0). Similarly, if you are reading a paletted image, you
2321must either supply the background color as a palette index (need_expand = 1)
2322or as an RGB triplet that may or may not be in the palette (need_expand = 0).

Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05002334The png_set_background() function tells libpng to composite images
2335with alpha or simple transparency against the supplied background
2336color. If the PNG file contains a bKGD chunk (PNG_INFO_bKGD valid),
2337you may use this color, or supply another color more suitable for
2338the current display (e.g., the background color from a web page). You
2339need to tell libpng whether the color is in the gamma space of the
2340display (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_SCREEN for colors you supply), the file
2341(PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_FILE for colors from the bKGD chunk), or one
2342that is neither of these gammas (PNG_BACKGROUND_GAMMA_UNIQUE - I don't
2343know why anyone would use this, but it's here).
2344
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002345To properly display PNG images on any kind of system, the application needs
2346to know what the display gamma is. Ideally, the user will know this, and
2347the application will allow them to set it. One method of allowing the user
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonbcfd15d1999-10-01 14:22:25 -05002348to set the display gamma separately for each system is to check for a
2349SCREEN_GAMMA or DISPLAY_GAMMA environment variable, which will hopefully be
2350correctly set.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002351
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonbcfd15d1999-10-01 14:22:25 -05002352Note that display_gamma is the overall gamma correction required to produce
2353pleasing results, which depends on the lighting conditions in the surrounding
2354environment. In a dim or brightly lit room, no compensation other than
2355the physical gamma exponent of the monitor is needed, while in a dark room
2356a slightly smaller exponent is better.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002392that file gammas are inverted from screen gammas. See the discussions
2393on gamma in the PNG specification for an excellent description of what
2394gamma is, and why all applications should support it. It is strongly

Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05002403If you need to reduce an RGB file to a paletted file, or if a paletted
2404file has more entries then will fit on your screen, png_set_quantize()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson862cb202010-04-16 22:12:51 -05002405will do that. Note that this is a simple match quantization that merely
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05002406finds the closest color available. This should work fairly well with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002407optimized palettes, but fairly badly with linear color cubes. If you
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05002408pass a palette that is larger then maximum_colors, the file will
2409reduce the number of colors in the palette so it will fit into
2410maximum_colors. If there is a histogram, it will use it to make
2411more intelligent choices when reducing the palette. If there is no

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002438PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being one.
2439The following code will reverse this (make black be one and white be
2440zero):
2441
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ea0ff32001-08-07 22:25:59 -05002442 if (bit_depth == 1 && color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY)
2443 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2444
2445This function can also be used to invert grayscale and gray-alpha images:
2446
2447 if (color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY ||
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002448 color_type == PNG_COLOR_TYPE_GRAY_ALPHA)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002449 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
2450
2451PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002452ie. most significant bits first). This code changes the storage to the
2453other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits first, the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002454way PCs store them):
2455
2456 if (bit_depth == 16)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002457 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002458
2459If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
2460need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
2461
2462 if (bit_depth < 8)
2463 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
2464
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002465Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
2466the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
2467with
2468
2469 png_set_read_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002470 read_transform_fn);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002471
2472You must supply the function
2473
Glenn Randers-Pehrson93215672011-02-13 19:42:19 -06002474 void read_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002475 row_info, png_bytep data)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002476
2477See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
John Bowlerf19abd62011-01-22 18:29:24 -06002478after all of the other transformations have been processed. Take care with
2479interlaced images if you do the interlace yourself - the width of the row is the
2480width in 'row_info', not the overall image width.
2481
2482If supported libpng provides two information routines that you can use to find
2483where you are in processing the image:
2484
2485 png_get_current_pass_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2486 png_get_current_row_number(png_structp png_ptr);
2487
2488Don't try using these outside a transform callback - firstly they are only
2489supported if user transforms are supported, secondly they may well return
2490unexpected results unless the row is actually being processed at the moment they
2491are called.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002492
2493You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
2494callback function, and you can inform libpng that your transform
2495function will change the number of channels or bit depth with the
2496function
2497
2498 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002499 user_depth, user_channels);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002500
2501The user's application, not libpng, is responsible for allocating and
2502freeing any memory required for the user structure.
2503
2504You can retrieve the pointer via the function
2505png_get_user_transform_ptr(). For example:
2506
2507 voidp read_user_transform_ptr =
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002508 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002509
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002510The last thing to handle is interlacing; this is covered in detail below,
2511but you must call the function here if you want libpng to handle expansion
2512of the interlaced image.
2513
2514 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2515
2516After setting the transformations, libpng can update your png_info
2517structure to reflect any transformations you've requested with this
2518call. This is most useful to update the info structure's rowbytes
2519field so you can use it to allocate your image memory. This function
2520will also update your palette with the correct screen_gamma and
2521background if these have been given with the calls above.
2522
2523 png_read_update_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
2524
2525After you call png_read_update_info(), you can allocate any
2526memory you need to hold the image. The row data is simply
2527raw byte data for all forms of images. As the actual allocation
2528varies among applications, no example will be given. If you
2529are allocating one large chunk, you will need to build an
2530array of pointers to each row, as it will be needed for some
2531of the functions below.
2532
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002533Remember: Before you call png_read_update_info(), the png_get_
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06002534functions return the values corresponding to the original PNG image.
2535After you call png_read_update_info the values refer to the image
2536that libpng will output. Consequently you must call all the png_set_
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002537functions before you call png_read_update_info(). This is particularly
2538important for png_set_interlace_handling() - if you are going to call
2539png_read_update_info() you must call png_set_interlace_handling() before
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06002540it unless you want to receive interlaced output.
2541
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06002542.SS Reading image data
2543
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002544After you've allocated memory, you can read the image data.
2545The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you are
2546allocating enough memory to hold the whole image, you can just
2547call png_read_image() and libpng will read in all the image data
2548and put it in the memory area supplied. You will need to pass in
2549an array of pointers to each row.
2550
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06002551This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
2552need to call png_set_interlace_handling() (unless you call
2553png_read_update_info()) or call this function multiple times, or any
2554of that other stuff necessary with png_read_rows().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002555
2556 png_read_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
2557
2558where row_pointers is:
2559
2560 png_bytep row_pointers[height];
2561
2562You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
2563
2564If you don't want to read in the whole image at once, you can
2565use png_read_rows() instead. If there is no interlacing (check
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002566interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_NONE), this is simple:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002567
2568 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002569 number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002570
2571where row_pointers is the same as in the png_read_image() call.
2572
2573If you are doing this just one row at a time, you can do this with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002574a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002575
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002576 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05002577 png_read_row(png_ptr, row_pointer, NULL);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002578
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05002579If the file is interlaced (interlace_type != 0 in the IHDR chunk), things
2580get somewhat harder. The only current (PNG Specification version 1.2)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002581interlacing type for PNG is (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7);
2582a somewhat complicated 2D interlace scheme, known as Adam7, that
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002583breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying size, based
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002584on an 8x8 grid. This number is defined (from libpng 1.5) as
2585PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES in png.h
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002586
2587libpng can fill out those images or it can give them to you "as is".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002588It is almost always better to have libpng handle the interlacing for you.
2589If you want the images filled out, there are two ways to do that. The one
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002590mentioned in the PNG specification is to expand each pixel to cover
2591those pixels that have not been read yet (the "rectangle" method).
2592This results in a blocky image for the first pass, which gradually
2593smooths out as more pixels are read. The other method is the "sparkle"
2594method, where pixels are drawn only in their final locations, with the
2595rest of the image remaining whatever colors they were initialized to
2596before the start of the read. The first method usually looks better,
2597but tends to be slower, as there are more pixels to put in the rows.
2598
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002599If, as is likely, you want libpng to expand the images, call this before
2600calling png_start_read_image() or png_read_update_info():
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002601
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06002602 if (interlace_type == PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002603 number_of_passes
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002604 = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
2605
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002606This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
2607but may change if another interlace type is added. This function can be
2608called even if the file is not interlaced, where it will return one pass.
2609You then need to read the whole image 'number_of_passes' times. Each time
2610will distribute the pixels from the current pass to the correct place in
2611the output image, so you need to supply the same rows to png_read_rows in
2612each pass.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05002613
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002614If you are not going to display the image after each pass, but are
2615going to wait until the entire image is read in, use the sparkle
2616effect. This effect is faster and the end result of either method
2617is exactly the same. If you are planning on displaying the image
2618after each pass, the "rectangle" effect is generally considered the
2619better looking one.
2620
2621If you only want the "sparkle" effect, just call png_read_rows() as
2622normal, with the third parameter NULL. Make sure you make pass over
2623the image number_of_passes times, and you don't change the data in the
2624rows between calls. You can change the locations of the data, just
2625not the data. Each pass only writes the pixels appropriate for that
2626pass, and assumes the data from previous passes is still valid.
2627
2628 png_read_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, NULL,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002629 number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002630
2631If you only want the first effect (the rectangles), do the same as
2632before except pass the row buffer in the third parameter, and leave
2633the second parameter NULL.
2634
2635 png_read_rows(png_ptr, NULL, row_pointers,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002636 number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002637
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002638If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just call
2639png_read_rows() PNG_INTERLACE_ADAM7_PASSES times to read in all the images.
2640Each of the images is a valid image by itself, however you will almost
2641certainly need to distribute the pixels from each sub-image to the
2642correct place. This is where everything gets very tricky.
2643
2644If you want to retrieve the separate images you must pass the correct
2645number of rows to each successive call of png_read_rows(). The calculation
2646gets pretty complicated for small images, where some sub-images may
2647not even exist because either their width or height ends up zero.
2648libpng provides two macros to help you in 1.5 and later versions:
2649
2650 png_uint_32 width = PNG_PASS_COLS(image_width, pass_number);
2651 png_uint_32 height = PNG_PASS_ROWS(image_height, pass_number);
2652
2653Respectively these tell you the width and height of the sub-image
2654corresponding to the numbered pass. 'pass' is in in the range 0 to 6 -
2655this can be confusing because the specification refers to the same passes
2656as 1 to 7! Be careful, you must check both the width and height before
2657calling png_read_rows() and not call it for that pass if either is zero.
2658
2659You can, of course, read each sub-image row by row. If you want to
2660produce optimal code to make a pixel-by-pixel transformation of an
2661interlaced image this is the best approach; read each row of each pass,
2662transform it, and write it out to a new interlaced image.
2663
2664If you want to de-interlace the image yourself libpng provides further
2665macros to help that tell you where to place the pixels in the output image.
2666Because the interlacing scheme is rectangular - sub-image pixels are always
2667arranged on a rectangular grid - all you need to know for each pass is the
2668starting column and row in the output image of the first pixel plus the
2669spacing between each pixel. As of libpng 1.5 there are four macros to
2670retrieve this information:
2671
2672 png_uint_32 x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2673 png_uint_32 y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2674 png_uint_32 xStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_COL_SHIFT(pass);
2675 png_uint_32 yStep = 1U << PNG_PASS_ROW_SHIFT(pass);
2676
2677These allow you to write the obvious loop:
2678
2679 png_uint_32 input_y = 0;
2680 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_PASS_START_ROW(pass);
2681
2682 while (output_y < output_image_height)
2683 {
2684 png_uint_32 input_x = 0;
2685 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_PASS_START_COL(pass);
2686
2687 while (output_x < output_image_width)
2688 {
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002689 image[output_y][output_x] =
2690 subimage[pass][input_y][input_x++];
2691
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002692 output_x += xStep;
2693 }
2694
2695 ++input_y;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06002696 output_y += yStep;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06002697 }
2698
2699Notice that the steps between successive output rows and columns are
2700returned as shifts. This is possible because the pixels in the subimages
2701are always a power of 2 apart - 1, 2, 4 or 8 pixels - in the original
2702image. In practice you may need to directly calculate the output coordinate
2703given an input coordinate. libpng provides two further macros for this
2704purpose:
2705
2706 png_uint_32 output_x = PNG_COL_FROM_PASS_COL(input_x, pass);
2707 png_uint_32 output_y = PNG_ROW_FROM_PASS_ROW(input_y, pass);
2708
2709Finally a pair of macros are provided to tell you if a particular image
2710row or column appears in a given pass:
2711
2712 int col_in_pass = PNG_COL_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_x, pass);
2713 int row_in_pass = PNG_ROW_IN_INTERLACE_PASS(output_y, pass);
2714
2715Bear in mind that you will probably also need to check the width and height
2716of the pass in addition to the above to be sure the pass even exists!
2717
2718With any luck you are convinced by now that you don't want to do your own
2719interlace handling. In reality normally the only good reason for doing this
2720is if you are processing PNG files on a pixel-by-pixel basis and don't want
2721to load the whole file into memory when it is interlaced.
2722
2723libpng includes a test program, pngvalid, that illustrates reading and
2724writing of interlaced images. If you can't get interlacing to work in your
2725code and don't want to leave it to libpng (the recommended approach) see
2726how pngvalid.c does it.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06002728.SS Finishing a sequential read
2729
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9c3ab682006-02-20 22:09:05 -06002730After you are finished reading the image through the
2731low-level interface, you can finish reading the file. If you are
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06002732interested in comments or time, which may be stored either before or
2733after the image data, you should pass the separate png_info struct if
2734you want to keep the comments from before and after the image
2735separate. If you are not interested, you can pass NULL.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002736
2737 png_read_end(png_ptr, end_info);
2738
2739When you are done, you can free all memory allocated by libpng like this:
2740
2741 png_destroy_read_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr,
2742 &end_info);
2743
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002744It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002745point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002746

Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002761
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002762This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
Glenn Randers-Pehrson68ea2432000-04-01 21:10:05 -06002763already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06002764by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
2765The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
2766type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
2767are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
2768sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06002769
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002770The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
2771by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05002772or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
2773or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002774
2775 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)

2783 same choices as in png_free_data()
2784
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002785This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
2786You can call this function after reading the PNG data but before calling
2787any png_set_*() functions, to control whether the user or the png_set_*()
2788function is responsible for freeing any existing data that might be present,
2789and again after the png_set_*() functions to control whether the user
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05002790or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data. When the user assumes
2791responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the application must use
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05002792png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
2793for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonb1828932001-06-23 08:03:17 -05002794or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05002795
2796If you allocated your row_pointers in a single block, as suggested above in
2797the description of the high level read interface, you must not transfer
2798responsibility for freeing it to the png_set_rows or png_read_destroy function,
2799because they would also try to free the individual row_pointers[i].
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05002800
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05002801If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
2802separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
2803because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
2804the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
2805if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
2806application, your application must not separately free those members.
2807
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002808The png_free_data() function will turn off the "valid" flag for anything
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06002809it frees. If you need to turn the flag off for a chunk that was freed by
2810your application instead of by libpng, you can use
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05002811
2812 png_set_invalid(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask);

Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05002815 containing the bitwise OR of one or

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06002829
2830The progressive reader is slightly different then the non-progressive
2831reader. Instead of calling png_read_info(), png_read_rows(), and
2832png_read_end(), you make one call to png_process_data(), which calls
2833callbacks when it has the info, a row, or the end of the image. You
2834set up these callbacks with png_set_progressive_read_fn(). You don't
2835have to worry about the input/output functions of libpng, as you are
2836giving the library the data directly in png_process_data(). I will
2837assume that you have read the section on reading PNG files above,
2838so I will only highlight the differences (although I will show

3039
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003040You will want to do the I/O initialization before you get into libpng,
3041so if it doesn't work, you don't have anything to undo. If you are not
3042using the standard I/O functions, you will need to replace them with
3043custom writing functions. See the discussion under Customizing libpng.

3050Next, png_struct and png_info need to be allocated and initialized.
3051As these can be both relatively large, you may not want to store these
3052on the stack, unless you have stack space to spare. Of course, you
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003053will want to check if they return NULL. If you are also reading,
3054you won't want to name your read structure and your write structure
3055both "png_ptr"; you can call them anything you like, such as
3056"read_ptr" and "write_ptr". Look at pngtest.c, for example.

3072
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05003073If you want to use your own memory allocation routines,
3074define PNG_USER_MEM_SUPPORTED and use
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05003075png_create_write_struct_2() instead of png_create_write_struct():

3081
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003082After you have these structures, you will need to set up the
3083error handling. When libpng encounters an error, it expects to
3084longjmp() back to your routine. Therefore, you will need to call
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003085setjmp() and pass the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr). If you
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003086write the file from different routines, you will need to update
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003087the png_jmpbuf(png_ptr) every time you enter a new routine that will
3088call a png_*() function. See your documentation of setjmp/longjmp
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003089for your compiler for more information on setjmp/longjmp. See
3090the discussion on libpng error handling in the Customizing Libpng
3091section below for more information on the libpng error handling.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003102If you would rather avoid the complexity of setjmp/longjmp issues,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05003103you can compile libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003104errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
3105
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05003106You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
3107more useful than abort(), as long as your function does not
3108return.
3109
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003110Now you need to set up the output code. The default for libpng is to
3111use the C function fwrite(). If you use this, you will need to pass a
3112valid FILE * in the function png_init_io(). Be sure that the file is
3113opened in binary mode. Again, if you wish to handle writing data in
3114another way, see the discussion on libpng I/O handling in the Customizing
3115Libpng section below.
3116

3118
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond60b8fa2006-04-20 21:31:14 -05003119If you are embedding your PNG into a datastream such as MNG, and don't
3120want libpng to write the 8-byte signature, or if you have already
3121written the signature in your application, use
3122
3123 png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, 8);
3124
3125to inform libpng that it should not write a signature.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003127.SS Write callbacks
3128
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003129At this point, you can set up a callback function that will be
3130called after each row has been written, which you can use to control
3131a progress meter or the like. It's demonstrated in pngtest.c.
3132You must supply a function
3133
Glenn Randers-Pehrson81ce8892011-01-24 08:04:37 -06003134 void write_row_callback(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 row,

3137 /* put your code here */
3138 }
3139
3140(You can give it another name that you like instead of "write_row_callback")
3141
3142To inform libpng about your function, use
3143
3144 png_set_write_status_fn(png_ptr, write_row_callback);
3145
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003146You now have the option of modifying how the compression library will
3147run. The following functions are mainly for testing, but may be useful
3148in some cases, like if you need to write PNG files extremely fast and
3149are willing to give up some compression, or if you want to get the
3150maximum possible compression at the expense of slower writing. If you
3151have no special needs in this area, let the library do what it wants by
3152not calling this function at all, as it has been tuned to deliver a good
3153speed/compression ratio. The second parameter to png_set_filter() is
Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06003154the filter method, for which the only valid values are 0 (as of the
3155July 1999 PNG specification, version 1.2) or 64 (if you are writing
3156a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG datastream). The third
3157parameter is a flag that indicates which filter type(s) are to be tested
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003158for each scanline. See the PNG specification for details on the specific

Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003175If an application wants to start and stop using particular filters during
3176compression, it should start out with all of the filters (to ensure that
3177the previous row of pixels will be stored in case it's needed later),
3178and then add and remove them after the start of compression.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06003180If you are writing a PNG datastream that is to be embedded in a MNG

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003183The png_set_compression_*() functions interface to the zlib compression

3205
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003206You now need to fill in the png_info structure with all the data you
3207wish to write before the actual image. Note that the only thing you
3208are allowed to write after the image is the text chunks and the time
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05003209chunk (as of PNG Specification 1.2, anyway). See png_write_end() and
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003210the latest PNG specification for more information on that. If you
3211wish to write them before the image, fill them in now, and flag that
3212data as being valid. If you want to wait until after the data, don't
3213fill them until png_write_end(). For all the fields in png_info and
3214their data types, see png.h. For explanations of what the fields
3215contain, see the PNG specification.
3216
3217Some of the more important parts of the png_info are:
3218
3219 png_set_IHDR(png_ptr, info_ptr, width, height,
3220 bit_depth, color_type, interlace_type,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06003221 compression_type, filter_method)

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003229 bit_depth - holds the bit depth of one of the
3230 image channels.
3231 (valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
3232 and depend also on the
3233 color_type. See also significant
3234 bits (sBIT) below).
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003235

Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003265If you call png_set_IHDR(), the call must appear before any of the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond60c8862009-06-15 21:56:14 -05003266other png_set_*() functions, because they might require access to some of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003267the IHDR settings. The remaining png_set_*() functions can be called
3268in any order.
3269
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonb5444a12009-06-08 08:36:19 -05003270If you wish, you can reset the compression_type, interlace_type, or
3271filter_method later by calling png_set_IHDR() again; if you do this, the
3272width, height, bit_depth, and color_type must be the same in each call.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003292 srgb_intent - the rendering intent
3293 (PNG_INFO_sRGB) The presence of
3294 the sRGB chunk means that the pixel
3295 data is in the sRGB color space.
3296 This chunk also implies specific
3297 values of gAMA and cHRM. Rendering
3298 intent is the CSS-1 property that
3299 has been defined by the International
3300 Color Consortium
3301 (http://www.color.org).
3302 It can be one of

3314 sRGB chunk means that the pixel
3315 data is in the sRGB color space.
3316 This function also causes gAMA and
3317 cHRM chunks with the specific values
3318 that are consistent with sRGB to be
3319 written.

3454 structures holding unknown chunks
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003455 unknowns[i].name - name of unknown chunk

Glenn Randers-Pehrson4accabb2000-04-14 14:20:47 -05003457 unknowns[i].size - size of unknown chunk's data
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003458 unknowns[i].location - position to write chunk in file
3459 0: do not write chunk
3460 PNG_HAVE_IHDR: before PLTE
3461 PNG_HAVE_PLTE: before IDAT
3462 PNG_AFTER_IDAT: after IDAT
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003463
3464The "location" member is set automatically according to
3465what part of the output file has already been written.
3466You can change its value after calling png_set_unknown_chunks()
3467as demonstrated in pngtest.c. Within each of the "locations",
3468the chunks are sequenced according to their position in the
3469structure (that is, the value of "i", which is the order in which
3470the chunk was either read from the input file or defined with
3471png_set_unknown_chunks).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003472
3473A quick word about text and num_text. text is an array of png_text
3474structures. num_text is the number of valid structures in the array.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003475Each png_text structure holds a language code, a keyword, a text value,
3476and a compression type.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003477
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003478The compression types have the same valid numbers as the compression
3479types of the image data. Currently, the only valid number is zero.
3480However, you can store text either compressed or uncompressed, unlike
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06003481images, which always have to be compressed. So if you don't want the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003482text compressed, set the compression type to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003483Because tEXt and zTXt chunks don't have a language field, if you
3484specify PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt
3485any language code or translated keyword will not be written out.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003486
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003487Until text gets around 1000 bytes, it is not worth compressing it.
3488After the text has been written out to the file, the compression type
3489is set to PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_NONE_WR or PNG_TEXT_COMPRESSION_zTXt_WR,
3490so that it isn't written out again at the end (in case you are calling
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003491png_write_end() with the same struct).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003492
3493The keywords that are given in the PNG Specification are:

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003515 Comment Miscellaneous comment; conversion
3516 from other image format
3517
3518The keyword-text pairs work like this. Keywords should be short
3519simple descriptions of what the comment is about. Some typical
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003520keywords are found in the PNG specification, as is some recommendations
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003521on keywords. You can repeat keywords in a file. You can even write
3522some text before the image and some after. For example, you may want
3523to put a description of the image before the image, but leave the
3524disclaimer until after, so viewers working over modem connections
3525don't have to wait for the disclaimer to go over the modem before
3526they start seeing the image. Finally, keywords should be full
3527words, not abbreviations. Keywords and text are in the ISO 8859-1
3528(Latin-1) character set (a superset of regular ASCII) and can not
3529contain NUL characters, and should not contain control or other
3530unprintable characters. To make the comments widely readable, stick
3531with basic ASCII, and avoid machine specific character set extensions
3532like the IBM-PC character set. The keyword must be present, but
3533you can leave off the text string on non-compressed pairs.
3534Compressed pairs must have a text string, as only the text string
3535is compressed anyway, so the compression would be meaningless.
3536
3537PNG supports modification time via the png_time structure. Two
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003538conversion routines are provided, png_convert_from_time_t() for
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003539time_t and png_convert_from_struct_tm() for struct tm. The
3540time_t routine uses gmtime(). You don't have to use either of
3541these, but if you wish to fill in the png_time structure directly,
3542you should provide the time in universal time (GMT) if possible
3543instead of your local time. Note that the year number is the full
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003544year (e.g. 1998, rather than 98 - PNG is year 2000 compliant!), and
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003545that months start with 1.
3546
3547If you want to store the time of the original image creation, you should
3548use a plain tEXt chunk with the "Creation Time" keyword. This is
3549necessary because the "creation time" of a PNG image is somewhat vague,
3550depending on whether you mean the PNG file, the time the image was
3551created in a non-PNG format, a still photo from which the image was
3552scanned, or possibly the subject matter itself. In order to facilitate
3553machine-readable dates, it is recommended that the "Creation Time"
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06003554tEXt chunk use RFC 1123 format dates (e.g. "22 May 1997 18:07:10 GMT"),
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003555although this isn't a requirement. Unlike the tIME chunk, the
3556"Creation Time" tEXt chunk is not expected to be automatically changed
3557by the software. To facilitate the use of RFC 1123 dates, a function
3558png_convert_to_rfc1123(png_timep) is provided to convert from PNG
3559time to an RFC 1123 format string.
3560
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003561.SS Writing unknown chunks
3562
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003563You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks
3564for writing. You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's
3565all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the next following
3566png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function.
3567Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk
3568list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG
3569specification's ordering rules.
3570
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003571.SS The high-level write interface
3572
3573At this point there are two ways to proceed; through the high-level
3574write interface, or through a sequence of low-level write operations.
3575You can use the high-level interface if your image data is present
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003576in the info structure. All defined output
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003577transformations are permitted, enabled by the following masks.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003578

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003592 PNG_TRANSFORM_SWAP_ENDIAN Byte-swap 16-bit samples
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1eb14e92008-12-10 07:14:45 -06003593 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER Strip out filler
3594 bytes (deprecated).
3595 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_BEFORE Strip out leading
3596 filler bytes
3597 PNG_TRANSFORM_STRIP_FILLER_AFTER Strip out trailing
3598 filler bytes
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003599
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003600If you have valid image data in the info structure (you can use
3601png_set_rows() to put image data in the info structure), simply do this:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003602
3603 png_write_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, png_transforms, NULL)
3604
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05003605where png_transforms is an integer containing the bitwise OR of some set of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003606transformation flags. This call is equivalent to png_write_info(),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003607followed the set of transformations indicated by the transform mask,
3608then png_write_image(), and finally png_write_end().
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003609
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003610(The final parameter of this call is not yet used. Someday it might point
3611to transformation parameters required by some future output transform.)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003612
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona4981d42004-08-25 22:00:45 -05003613You must use png_transforms and not call any png_set_transform() functions
3614when you use png_write_png().
3615
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003616.SS The low-level write interface
3617
3618If you are going the low-level route instead, you are now ready to
3619write all the file information up to the actual image data. You do
3620this with a call to png_write_info().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003621
3622 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3623
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003624Note that there is one transformation you may need to do before
3625png_write_info(). In PNG files, the alpha channel in an image is the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003626level of opacity. If your data is supplied as a level of transparency,
3627you can invert the alpha channel before you write it, so that 0 is
3628fully transparent and 255 (in 8-bit or paletted images) or 65535
3629(in 16-bit images) is fully opaque, with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003630
3631 png_set_invert_alpha(png_ptr);
3632
3633This must appear before png_write_info() instead of later with the
3634other transformations because in the case of paletted images the tRNS
3635chunk data has to be inverted before the tRNS chunk is written. If
3636your image is not a paletted image, the tRNS data (which in such cases
3637represents a single color to be rendered as transparent) won't need to
3638be changed, and you can safely do this transformation after your
3639png_write_info() call.
3640
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5379b241999-11-27 10:22:33 -06003641If you need to write a private chunk that you want to appear before
3642the PLTE chunk when PLTE is present, you can write the PNG info in
3643two steps, and insert code to write your own chunk between them:
3644
3645 png_write_info_before_PLTE(png_ptr, info_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003646 png_set_unknown_chunks(png_ptr, info_ptr, ...);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5379b241999-11-27 10:22:33 -06003647 png_write_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3648
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003649After you've written the file information, you can set up the library
3650to handle any special transformations of the image data. The various
3651ways to transform the data will be described in the order that they
3652should occur. This is important, as some of these change the color
3653type and/or bit depth of the data, and some others only work on
3654certain color types and bit depths. Even though each transformation
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003655checks to see if it has data that it can do something with, you should
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003656make sure to only enable a transformation if it will be valid for the
3657data. For example, don't swap red and blue on grayscale data.
3658
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05003659PNG files store RGB pixels packed into 3 or 6 bytes. This code tells
Glenn Randers-Pehrson68ea2432000-04-01 21:10:05 -06003660the library to strip input data that has 4 or 8 bytes per pixel down
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003661to 3 or 6 bytes (or strip 2 or 4-byte grayscale+filler data to 1 or 2
3662bytes per pixel).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003663
3664 png_set_filler(png_ptr, 0, PNG_FILLER_BEFORE);
3665
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003666where the 0 is unused, and the location is either PNG_FILLER_BEFORE or
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003667PNG_FILLER_AFTER, depending upon whether the filler byte in the pixel
3668is stored XRGB or RGBX.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003669
3670PNG files pack pixels of bit depths 1, 2, and 4 into bytes as small as
3671they can, resulting in, for example, 8 pixels per byte for 1 bit files.
3672If the data is supplied at 1 pixel per byte, use this code, which will
3673correctly pack the pixels into a single byte:
3674
3675 png_set_packing(png_ptr);
3676
3677PNG files reduce possible bit depths to 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. If your
3678data is of another bit depth, you can write an sBIT chunk into the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003679file so that decoders can recover the original data if desired.

3705
3706 png_set_shift(png_ptr, &sig_bit);
3707
3708PNG files store 16 bit pixels in network byte order (big-endian,
3709ie. most significant bits first). This code would be used if they are
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003710supplied the other way (little-endian, i.e. least significant bits
3711first, the way PCs store them):
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003712
3713 if (bit_depth > 8)
3714 png_set_swap(png_ptr);
3715
3716If you are using packed-pixel images (1, 2, or 4 bits/pixel), and you
3717need to change the order the pixels are packed into bytes, you can use:
3718
3719 if (bit_depth < 8)
3720 png_set_packswap(png_ptr);
3721
3722PNG files store 3 color pixels in red, green, blue order. This code
3723would be used if they are supplied as blue, green, red:
3724
3725 png_set_bgr(png_ptr);
3726
3727PNG files describe monochrome as black being zero and white being
3728one. This code would be used if the pixels are supplied with this reversed
3729(black being one and white being zero):
3730
3731 png_set_invert_mono(png_ptr);
3732
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003733Finally, you can write your own transformation function if none of
3734the existing ones meets your needs. This is done by setting a callback
3735with
3736
3737 png_set_write_user_transform_fn(png_ptr,
3738 write_transform_fn);
3739
3740You must supply the function
3741
Glenn Randers-Pehrson93215672011-02-13 19:42:19 -06003742 void write_transform_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_row_infop
3743 row_info, png_bytep data)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003744
3745See pngtest.c for a working example. Your function will be called
John Bowlerf19abd62011-01-22 18:29:24 -06003746before any of the other transformations are processed. If supported
3747libpng also supplies an information routine that may be called from
3748your callback:
3749
3750 png_get_current_row_number(png_ptr);
3751
3752This returns the current row passed to the transform. Even with interlaced
3753images the value returned is the row in the final output image.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05003754
3755You can also set up a pointer to a user structure for use by your
3756callback function.
3757
3758 png_set_user_transform_info(png_ptr, user_ptr, 0, 0);
3759
3760The user_channels and user_depth parameters of this function are ignored
3761when writing; you can set them to zero as shown.
3762
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003763You can retrieve the pointer via the function png_get_user_transform_ptr().
3764For example:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05003765
3766 voidp write_user_transform_ptr =
3767 png_get_user_transform_ptr(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003768
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003769It is possible to have libpng flush any pending output, either manually,
3770or automatically after a certain number of lines have been written. To
3771flush the output stream a single time call:
3772
3773 png_write_flush(png_ptr);
3774
3775and to have libpng flush the output stream periodically after a certain
3776number of scanlines have been written, call:
3777
3778 png_set_flush(png_ptr, nrows);
3779
3780Note that the distance between rows is from the last time png_write_flush()
3781was called, or the first row of the image if it has never been called.
3782So if you write 50 lines, and then png_set_flush 25, it will flush the
3783output on the next scanline, and every 25 lines thereafter, unless
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003784png_write_flush() is called before 25 more lines have been written.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003785If nrows is too small (less than about 10 lines for a 640 pixel wide
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003786RGB image) the image compression may decrease noticeably (although this
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003787may be acceptable for real-time applications). Infrequent flushing will
3788only degrade the compression performance by a few percent over images
3789that do not use flushing.
3790
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003791.SS Writing the image data
3792
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003793That's it for the transformations. Now you can write the image data.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003794The simplest way to do this is in one function call. If you have the
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003795whole image in memory, you can just call png_write_image() and libpng
3796will write the image. You will need to pass in an array of pointers to
3797each row. This function automatically handles interlacing, so you don't
3798need to call png_set_interlace_handling() or call this function multiple
3799times, or any of that other stuff necessary with png_write_rows().
3800
3801 png_write_image(png_ptr, row_pointers);
3802
3803where row_pointers is:
3804
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05003805 png_byte *row_pointers[height];
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003806
3807You can point to void or char or whatever you use for pixels.
3808
Glenn Randers-Pehrson896239b1998-04-21 15:03:57 -05003809If you don't want to write the whole image at once, you can
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003810use png_write_rows() instead. If the file is not interlaced,
3811this is simple:
3812
3813 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers,
3814 number_of_rows);
3815
3816row_pointers is the same as in the png_write_image() call.
3817
3818If you are just writing one row at a time, you can do this with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003819a single row_pointer instead of an array of row_pointers:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003820
3821 png_bytep row_pointer = row;
3822
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06003823 png_write_row(png_ptr, row_pointer);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003824
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003825When the file is interlaced, things can get a good deal more complicated.
3826The only currently (as of the PNG Specification version 1.2, dated July
38271999) defined interlacing scheme for PNG files is the "Adam7" interlace
3828scheme, that breaks down an image into seven smaller images of varying
3829size. libpng will build these images for you, or you can do them
3830yourself. If you want to build them yourself, see the PNG specification
3831for details of which pixels to write when.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003832
3833If you don't want libpng to handle the interlacing details, just
3834use png_set_interlace_handling() and call png_write_rows() the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003835correct number of times to write all the sub-images
3836(png_set_interlace_handling() returns the number of sub-images.)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003837
3838If you want libpng to build the sub-images, call this before you start
3839writing any rows:
3840
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003841 number_of_passes = png_set_interlace_handling(png_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003842
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003843This will return the number of passes needed. Currently, this is seven,
3844but may change if another interlace type is added.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003845
3846Then write the complete image number_of_passes times.
3847
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003848 png_write_rows(png_ptr, row_pointers, number_of_rows);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003849
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06003850Think carefully before you write an interlaced image. Typically code that
3851reads such images reads all the image data into memory, uncompressed, before
3852doing any processing. Only code that can display an image on the fly can
3853take advantage of the interlacing and even then the image has to be exactly
3854the correct size for the output device, because scaling an image requires
3855adjacent pixels and these are not available until all the passes have been
3856read.
3857
3858If you do write an interlaced image you will hardly ever need to handle
3859the interlacing yourself. Call png_set_interlace_handling() and use the
3860approach described above.
3861
3862The only time it is conceivable that you will really need to write an
3863interlaced image pass-by-pass is when you have read one pass by pass and
3864made some pixel-by-pixel transformation to it, as described in the read
3865code above. In this case use the PNG_PASS_ROWS and PNG_PASS_COLS macros
3866to determine the size of each sub-image in turn and simply write the rows
3867you obtained from the read code.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003868
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06003869.SS Finishing a sequential write
3870
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003871After you are finished writing the image, you should finish writing
3872the file. If you are interested in writing comments or time, you should
3873pass an appropriately filled png_info pointer. If you are not interested,
3874you can pass NULL.
3875
3876 png_write_end(png_ptr, info_ptr);
3877
3878When you are done, you can free all memory used by libpng like this:
3879
3880 png_destroy_write_struct(&png_ptr, &info_ptr);
3881
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003882It is also possible to individually free the info_ptr members that
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05003883point to libpng-allocated storage with the following function:
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003884
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003885 png_free_data(png_ptr, info_ptr, mask, seq)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003886
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003887 mask - identifies data to be freed, a mask
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05003888 containing the bitwise OR of one or
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003889 more of
3890 PNG_FREE_PLTE, PNG_FREE_TRNS,
3891 PNG_FREE_HIST, PNG_FREE_ICCP,
3892 PNG_FREE_PCAL, PNG_FREE_ROWS,
3893 PNG_FREE_SCAL, PNG_FREE_SPLT,
3894 PNG_FREE_TEXT, PNG_FREE_UNKN,
3895 or simply PNG_FREE_ALL
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003896
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003897 seq - sequence number of item to be freed
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003898 (-1 for all items)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003899
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfc4a1432000-05-17 17:39:34 -05003900This function may be safely called when the relevant storage has
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003901already been freed, or has not yet been allocated, or was allocated
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003902by the user and not by libpng, and will in those cases do nothing.
3903The "seq" parameter is ignored if only one item of the selected data
3904type, such as PLTE, is allowed. If "seq" is not -1, and multiple items
3905are allowed for the data type identified in the mask, such as text or
3906sPLT, only the n'th item in the structure is freed, where n is "seq".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06003907
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003908If you allocated data such as a palette that you passed in to libpng
3909with png_set_*, you must not free it until just before the call to
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003910png_destroy_write_struct().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003911
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003912The default behavior is only to free data that was allocated internally
3913by libpng. This can be changed, so that libpng will not free the data,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003914or so that it will free data that was allocated by the user with png_malloc()
3915or png_zalloc() and passed in via a png_set_*() function, with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003916
3917 png_data_freer(png_ptr, info_ptr, freer, mask)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003918

3926
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003927For example, to transfer responsibility for some data from a read structure
3928to a write structure, you could use
3929
3930 png_data_freer(read_ptr, read_info_ptr,
3931 PNG_USER_WILL_FREE_DATA,
3932 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003933
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003934 png_data_freer(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
3935 PNG_DESTROY_WILL_FREE_DATA,
3936 PNG_FREE_PLTE|PNG_FREE_tRNS|PNG_FREE_hIST)
3937
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003938thereby briefly reassigning responsibility for freeing to the user but
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05003939immediately afterwards reassigning it once more to the write_destroy
3940function. Having done this, it would then be safe to destroy the read
3941structure and continue to use the PLTE, tRNS, and hIST data in the write
3942structure.
3943
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003944This function only affects data that has already been allocated.
3945You can call this function before calling after the png_set_*() functions
3946to control whether the user or png_destroy_*() is supposed to free the data.
3947When the user assumes responsibility for libpng-allocated data, the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003948application must use
3949png_free() to free it, and when the user transfers responsibility to libpng
3950for data that the user has allocated, the user must have used png_malloc()
3951or png_zalloc() to allocate it.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003952
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05003953If you allocated text_ptr.text, text_ptr.lang, and text_ptr.translated_keyword
3954separately, do not transfer responsibility for freeing text_ptr to libpng,
3955because when libpng fills a png_text structure it combines these members with
3956the key member, and png_free_data() will free only text_ptr.key. Similarly,
3957if you transfer responsibility for free'ing text_ptr from libpng to your
3958application, your application must not separately free those members.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06003961.SH V. Modifying/Customizing libpng:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003962
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003963There are two issues here. The first is changing how libpng does
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003964standard things like memory allocation, input/output, and error handling.
3965The second deals with more complicated things like adding new chunks,
3966adding new transformations, and generally changing how libpng works.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson231e6872001-01-12 15:13:06 -06003967Both of those are compile-time issues; that is, they are generally
3968determined at the time the code is written, and there is rarely a need
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05003969to provide the user with a means of changing them.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson231e6872001-01-12 15:13:06 -06003970
3971Memory allocation, input/output, and error handling
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003972
3973All of the memory allocation, input/output, and error handling in libpng
Glenn Randers-Pehrson231e6872001-01-12 15:13:06 -06003974goes through callbacks that are user-settable. The default routines are
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05003975in pngmem.c, pngrio.c, pngwio.c, and pngerror.c, respectively. To change
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona77ef622000-02-18 13:48:52 -06003976these functions, call the appropriate png_set_*_fn() function.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06003977
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003978Memory allocation is done through the functions png_malloc(), png_calloc(),
3979and png_free(). These currently just call the standard C functions.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05003980png_calloc() calls png_malloc() and then clears the newly
3981allocated memory to zero. There is limited support for certain systems
3982with segmented memory architectures and the types of pointers declared by
3983png.h match this; you will have to use appropriate pointers in your
3984application. Since it is
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06003985unlikely that the method of handling memory allocation on a platform
3986will change between applications, these functions must be modified in
3987the library at compile time. If you prefer to use a different method
3988of allocating and freeing data, you can use png_create_read_struct_2() or
3989png_create_write_struct_2() to register your own functions as described
3990above. These functions also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved
3991via
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05003992
3993 mem_ptr=png_get_mem_ptr(png_ptr);
3994
3995Your replacement memory functions must have prototypes as follows:
3996
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06003997 png_voidp malloc_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06003998 png_alloc_size_t size);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06003999
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05004000 void free_fn(png_structp png_ptr, png_voidp ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004001
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5fea36f2004-07-28 08:20:44 -05004002Your malloc_fn() must return NULL in case of failure. The png_malloc()
4003function will normally call png_error() if it receives a NULL from the
4004system memory allocator or from your replacement malloc_fn().
Glenn Randers-Pehrson82ae3832001-04-20 10:32:10 -05004005
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05004006Your free_fn() will never be called with a NULL ptr, since libpng's
4007png_free() checks for NULL before calling free_fn().
4008
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004009Input/Output in libpng is done through png_read() and png_write(),
4010which currently just call fread() and fwrite(). The FILE * is stored in
4011png_struct and is initialized via png_init_io(). If you wish to change
4012the method of I/O, the library supplies callbacks that you can set
4013through the function png_set_read_fn() and png_set_write_fn() at run
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05004014time, instead of calling the png_init_io() function. These functions
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004015also provide a void pointer that can be retrieved via the function
4016png_get_io_ptr(). For example:
4017
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05004018 png_set_read_fn(png_structp read_ptr,
4019 voidp read_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr read_data_fn)
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004020
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05004021 png_set_write_fn(png_structp write_ptr,
4022 voidp write_io_ptr, png_rw_ptr write_data_fn,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004023 png_flush_ptr output_flush_fn);
4024
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf7d1a171998-06-06 15:31:35 -05004025 voidp read_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(read_ptr);
4026 voidp write_io_ptr = png_get_io_ptr(write_ptr);
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004027
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05004028The replacement I/O functions must have prototypes as follows:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004029
4030 void user_read_data(png_structp png_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson837a3d12002-05-10 20:19:58 -05004031 png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004032
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004033 void user_write_data(png_structp png_ptr,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson837a3d12002-05-10 20:19:58 -05004034 png_bytep data, png_size_t length);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004035
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004036 void user_flush_data(png_structp png_ptr);
4037
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05004038The user_read_data() function is responsible for detecting and
4039handling end-of-data errors.
4040
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004041Supplying NULL for the read, write, or flush functions sets them back
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05004042to using the default C stream functions, which expect the io_ptr to
4043point to a standard *FILE structure. It is probably a mistake
4044to use NULL for one of write_data_fn and output_flush_fn but not both
4045of them, unless you have built libpng with PNG_NO_WRITE_FLUSH defined.
4046It is an error to read from a write stream, and vice versa.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004047
4048Error handling in libpng is done through png_error() and png_warning().
4049Errors handled through png_error() are fatal, meaning that png_error()
4050should never return to its caller. Currently, this is handled via
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004051setjmp() and longjmp() (unless you have compiled libpng with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05004052PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson60988072010-04-13 22:11:06 -05004053but you could change this to do things like exit() if you should wish,
Glenn Randers-Pehrson54ac9a92010-04-02 17:06:22 -05004054as long as your function does not return.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004055
4056On non-fatal errors, png_warning() is called
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004057to print a warning message, and then control returns to the calling code.
4058By default png_error() and png_warning() print a message on stderr via
Glenn Randers-Pehrson38e6e772000-04-09 19:06:13 -05004059fprintf() unless the library is compiled with PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO defined
4060(because you don't want the messages) or PNG_NO_STDIO defined (because
4061fprintf() isn't available). If you wish to change the behavior of the error
4062functions, you will need to set up your own message callbacks. These
4063functions are normally supplied at the time that the png_struct is created.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05004064It is also possible to redirect errors and warnings to your own replacement
4065functions after png_create_*_struct() has been called by calling:
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004066
4067 png_set_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4068 png_voidp error_ptr, png_error_ptr error_fn,
4069 png_error_ptr warning_fn);
4070
4071 png_voidp error_ptr = png_get_error_ptr(png_ptr);
4072
4073If NULL is supplied for either error_fn or warning_fn, then the libpng
4074default function will be used, calling fprintf() and/or longjmp() if a
4075problem is encountered. The replacement error functions should have
4076parameters as follows:
4077
4078 void user_error_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4079 png_const_charp error_msg);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004080
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004081 void user_warning_fn(png_structp png_ptr,
4082 png_const_charp warning_msg);
4083
4084The motivation behind using setjmp() and longjmp() is the C++ throw and
4085catch exception handling methods. This makes the code much easier to write,
4086as there is no need to check every return code of every function call.
4087However, there are some uncertainties about the status of local variables
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004088after a longjmp, so the user may want to be careful about doing anything
4089after setjmp returns non-zero besides returning itself. Consult your
4090compiler documentation for more details. For an alternative approach, you
4091may wish to use the "cexcept" facility (see http://cexcept.sourceforge.net).

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004093.SS Custom chunks
4094
4095If you need to read or write custom chunks, you may need to get deeper
4096into the libpng code. The library now has mechanisms for storing
4097and writing chunks of unknown type; you can even declare callbacks
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9c3ab682006-02-20 22:09:05 -06004098for custom chunks. However, this may not be good enough if the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004099library code itself needs to know about interactions between your
4100chunk and existing `intrinsic' chunks.
4101
4102If you need to write a new intrinsic chunk, first read the PNG
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004103specification. Acquire a first level of understanding of how it works.
4104Pay particular attention to the sections that describe chunk names,
4105and look at how other chunks were designed, so you can do things
4106similarly. Second, check out the sections of libpng that read and
4107write chunks. Try to find a chunk that is similar to yours and use
4108it as a template. More details can be found in the comments inside
4109the code. It is best to handle unknown chunks in a generic method,
4110via callback functions, instead of by modifying libpng functions.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004111
4112If you wish to write your own transformation for the data, look through
4113the part of the code that does the transformations, and check out some of
4114the simpler ones to get an idea of how they work. Try to find a similar
4115transformation to the one you want to add and copy off of it. More details
4116can be found in the comments inside the code itself.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06004122won't be accessible. So limit zlib and libpng to 64K by defining MAXSEG_64K.

4132Libpng's support for medium model has been tested on most of the popular
4133compilers. Make sure MAXSEG_64K gets defined, USE_FAR_KEYWORD gets
4134defined, and FAR gets defined to far in pngconf.h, and you should be
4135all set. Everything in the library (except for zlib's structure) is
4136expecting far data. You must use the typedefs with the p or pp on
4137the end for pointers (or at least look at them and be careful). Make
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004138note that the rows of data are defined as png_bytepp, which is an

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004160
4161There are special functions to configure the compression. Perhaps the
4162most useful one changes the compression level, which currently uses
4163input compression values in the range 0 - 9. The library normally
4164uses the default compression level (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION = 6). Tests
4165have shown that for a large majority of images, compression values in
4166the range 3-6 compress nearly as well as higher levels, and do so much
4167faster. For online applications it may be desirable to have maximum speed
4168(Z_BEST_SPEED = 1). With versions of zlib after v0.99, you can also
4169specify no compression (Z_NO_COMPRESSION = 0), but this would create
4170files larger than just storing the raw bitmap. You can specify the
4171compression level by calling:
4172
4173 png_set_compression_level(png_ptr, level);
4174
4175Another useful one is to reduce the memory level used by the library.
4176The memory level defaults to 8, but it can be lowered if you are
4177short on memory (running DOS, for example, where you only have 640K).
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004178Note that the memory level does have an effect on compression; among
4179other things, lower levels will result in sections of incompressible
4180data being emitted in smaller stored blocks, with a correspondingly
4181larger relative overhead of up to 15% in the worst case.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004182
4183 png_set_compression_mem_level(png_ptr, level);
4184
4185The other functions are for configuring zlib. They are not recommended
4186for normal use and may result in writing an invalid PNG file. See

Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004199
4200If you want to control whether libpng uses filtering or not, which
4201filters are used, and how it goes about picking row filters, you
4202can call one of these functions. The selection and configuration
4203of row filters can have a significant impact on the size and
4204encoding speed and a somewhat lesser impact on the decoding speed
4205of an image. Filtering is enabled by default for RGB and grayscale
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004206images (with and without alpha), but not for paletted images nor
4207for any images with bit depths less than 8 bits/pixel.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004208
4209The 'method' parameter sets the main filtering method, which is
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05004210currently only '0' in the PNG 1.2 specification. The 'filters'
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004211parameter sets which filter(s), if any, should be used for each
4212scanline. Possible values are PNG_ALL_FILTERS and PNG_NO_FILTERS
4213to turn filtering on and off, respectively.
4214
4215Individual filter types are PNG_FILTER_NONE, PNG_FILTER_SUB,
4216PNG_FILTER_UP, PNG_FILTER_AVG, PNG_FILTER_PAETH, which can be bitwise
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6942d532000-05-01 09:31:54 -05004217ORed together with '|' to specify one or more filters to use.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004218These filters are described in more detail in the PNG specification.
4219If you intend to change the filter type during the course of writing
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004220the image, you should start with flags set for all of the filters
4221you intend to use so that libpng can initialize its internal
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004222structures appropriately for all of the filter types. (Note that this
4223means the first row must always be adaptively filtered, because libpng
4224currently does not allocate the filter buffers until png_write_row()
4225is called for the first time.)

Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06004233 The second parameter can also be
4234 PNG_INTRAPIXEL_DIFFERENCING if you are
4235 writing a PNG to be embedded in a MNG
4236 datastream. This parameter must be the
4237 same as the value of filter_method used
4238 in png_set_IHDR().
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004239
4240It is also possible to influence how libpng chooses from among the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004241available filters. This is done in one or both of two ways - by
4242telling it how important it is to keep the same filter for successive
4243rows, and by telling it the relative computational costs of the filters.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004244
4245 double weights[3] = {1.5, 1.3, 1.1},
4246 costs[PNG_FILTER_VALUE_LAST] =
4247 {1.0, 1.3, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7};
4248
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4fb046a2002-04-15 09:25:51 -05004249 png_set_filter_heuristics(png_ptr,
4250 PNG_FILTER_HEURISTIC_WEIGHTED, 3,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004251 weights, costs);
4252
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004253The weights are multiplying factors that indicate to libpng that the
4254row filter should be the same for successive rows unless another row filter
4255is that many times better than the previous filter. In the above example,
4256if the previous 3 filters were SUB, SUB, NONE, the SUB filter could have a
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004257"sum of absolute differences" 1.5 x 1.3 times higher than other filters
4258and still be chosen, while the NONE filter could have a sum 1.1 times
4259higher than other filters and still be chosen. Unspecified weights are
4260taken to be 1.0, and the specified weights should probably be declining
4261like those above in order to emphasize recent filters over older filters.
4262
4263The filter costs specify for each filter type a relative decoding cost
4264to be considered when selecting row filters. This means that filters
4265with higher costs are less likely to be chosen over filters with lower
4266costs, unless their "sum of absolute differences" is that much smaller.
4267The costs do not necessarily reflect the exact computational speeds of
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbe52d81998-02-28 07:00:24 -06004268the various filters, since this would unduly influence the final image
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004269size.
4270
4271Note that the numbers above were invented purely for this example and
4272are given only to help explain the function usage. Little testing has
4273been done to find optimum values for either the costs or the weights.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004275.SS Removing unwanted object code
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004276
4277There are a bunch of #define's in pngconf.h that control what parts of
4278libpng are compiled. All the defines end in _SUPPORTED. If you are
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond0dce401998-05-09 10:02:29 -05004279never going to use a capability, you can change the #define to #undef
4280before recompiling libpng and save yourself code and data space, or
4281you can turn off individual capabilities with defines that begin with
4282PNG_NO_.
4283
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004284In libpng-1.5.0 and later, the #define's are in pnglibconf.h instead.
4285
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond0dce401998-05-09 10:02:29 -05004286You can also turn all of the transforms and ancillary chunk capabilities
Glenn Randers-Pehrson228bd392000-04-23 23:14:02 -05004287off en masse with compiler directives that define
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond0dce401998-05-09 10:02:29 -05004288PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS, or PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS,
4289or all four,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004290along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that you do
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004291want. The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable the extra
4292transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading
4293and writing PNG files with all known public chunks. Use of the
4294PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive produces a library
4295that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks. If you are
4296not using the progressive reading capability, you can turn that off
4297with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse this with the INTERLACING
4298capability, which you'll still have).
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004299
4300All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the
4301linker should only grab the files it needs. However, if you want to
4302make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the
4303reading files start with pngr and all the writing files start with
4304pngw. The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.)
4305are used for both reading and writing, and always need to be included.
4306The progressive reader is in pngpread.c
4307
4308If you are creating or distributing a dynamically linked library (a .so
4309or DLL file), you should not remove or disable any parts of the library,
4310as this will cause applications linked with different versions of the
4311library to fail if they call functions not available in your library.
4312The size of the library itself should not be an issue, because only
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004313those sections that are actually used will be loaded into memory.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004314
Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -06004315.SS Requesting debug printout
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004316
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004317The macro definition PNG_DEBUG can be used to request debugging
4318printout. Set it to an integer value in the range 0 to 3. Higher
4319numbers result in increasing amounts of debugging information. The
4320information is printed to the "stderr" file, unless another file
4321name is specified in the PNG_DEBUG_FILE macro definition.
4322
4323When PNG_DEBUG > 0, the following functions (macros) become available:
4324
4325 png_debug(level, message)
4326 png_debug1(level, message, p1)
4327 png_debug2(level, message, p1, p2)
4328
4329in which "level" is compared to PNG_DEBUG to decide whether to print
4330the message, "message" is the formatted string to be printed,
4331and p1 and p2 are parameters that are to be embedded in the string
4332according to printf-style formatting directives. For example,
4333
4334 png_debug1(2, "foo=%d\n", foo);
4335
4336is expanded to
4337
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004338 if (PNG_DEBUG > 2)
4339 fprintf(PNG_DEBUG_FILE, "foo=%d\n", foo);
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004340
4341When PNG_DEBUG is defined but is zero, the macros aren't defined, but you
4342can still use PNG_DEBUG to control your own debugging:
4343
4344 #ifdef PNG_DEBUG
4345 fprintf(stderr, ...
4346 #endif
4347
4348When PNG_DEBUG = 1, the macros are defined, but only png_debug statements
4349having level = 0 will be printed. There aren't any such statements in
4350this version of libpng, but if you insert some they will be printed.
4351
Glenn Randers-Pehrson56f63962008-10-06 10:16:17 -05004352.SH VI. MNG support
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2ad31ae2000-12-15 08:54:42 -06004353
4354The MNG specification (available at http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng) allows
4355certain extensions to PNG for PNG images that are embedded in MNG datastreams.
4356Libpng can support some of these extensions. To enable them, use the
4357png_permit_mng_features() function:
4358
4359 feature_set = png_permit_mng_features(png_ptr, mask)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004360
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05004361 mask is a png_uint_32 containing the bitwise OR of the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2ad31ae2000-12-15 08:54:42 -06004362 features you want to enable. These include
4363 PNG_FLAG_MNG_EMPTY_PLTE
4364 PNG_FLAG_MNG_FILTER_64
4365 PNG_ALL_MNG_FEATURES
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004366
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonebd7f9a2006-10-19 09:37:56 -05004367 feature_set is a png_uint_32 that is the bitwise AND of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2ad31ae2000-12-15 08:54:42 -06004368 your mask with the set of MNG features that is
4369 supported by the version of libpng that you are using.
4370
Glenn Randers-Pehrson408b4212000-12-18 09:33:57 -06004371It is an error to use this function when reading or writing a standalone
4372PNG file with the PNG 8-byte signature. The PNG datastream must be wrapped
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf05f8032000-12-23 14:27:39 -06004373in a MNG datastream. As a minimum, it must have the MNG 8-byte signature
4374and the MHDR and MEND chunks. Libpng does not provide support for these
4375or any other MNG chunks; your application must provide its own support for
4376them. You may wish to consider using libmng (available at
4377http://www.libmng.com) instead.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson8fb550c2009-03-21 08:15:32 -05004379.SH VII. Changes to Libpng from version 0.88
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004380
4381It should be noted that versions of libpng later than 0.96 are not
4382distributed by the original libpng author, Guy Schalnat, nor by
4383Andreas Dilger, who had taken over from Guy during 1996 and 1997, and
4384distributed versions 0.89 through 0.96, but rather by another member
4385of the original PNG Group, Glenn Randers-Pehrson. Guy and Andreas are
4386still alive and well, but they have moved on to other things.
4387
4388The old libpng functions png_read_init(), png_write_init(),
Glenn Randers-Pehrson8b6a8892001-05-18 04:54:50 -05004389png_info_init(), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy() have been
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05004390moved to PNG_INTERNAL in version 0.95 to discourage their use. These
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004391functions will be removed from libpng version 1.4.0.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05004392
4393The preferred method of creating and initializing the libpng structures is
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004394via the png_create_read_struct(), png_create_write_struct(), and
4395png_create_info_struct() because they isolate the size of the structures
4396from the application, allow version error checking, and also allow the
4397use of custom error handling routines during the initialization, which
4398the old functions do not. The functions png_read_destroy() and
4399png_write_destroy() do not actually free the memory that libpng
4400allocated for these structs, but just reset the data structures, so they
4401can be used instead of png_destroy_read_struct() and
4402png_destroy_write_struct() if you feel there is too much system overhead
4403allocating and freeing the png_struct for each image read.
4404
4405Setting the error callbacks via png_set_message_fn() before
4406png_read_init() as was suggested in libpng-0.88 is no longer supported
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06004407because this caused applications that do not use custom error functions
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004408to fail if the png_ptr was not initialized to zero. It is still possible
4409to set the error callbacks AFTER png_read_init(), or to change them with
Glenn Randers-Pehrson75294572000-05-06 14:09:57 -05004410png_set_error_fn(), which is essentially the same function, but with a new
4411name to force compilation errors with applications that try to use the old
4412method.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsona357b991998-02-08 20:56:40 -06004413
Glenn Randers-Pehrson1ef65b62000-05-12 06:19:53 -05004414Starting with version 1.0.7, you can find out which version of the library
4415you are using at run-time:
4416
4417 png_uint_32 libpng_vn = png_access_version_number();
4418
4419The number libpng_vn is constructed from the major version, minor
4420version with leading zero, and release number with leading zero,
4421(e.g., libpng_vn for version 1.0.7 is 10007).
4422
4423You can also check which version of png.h you used when compiling your
4424application:
4425
4426 png_uint_32 application_vn = PNG_LIBPNG_VER;
4427
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004428.SH VIII. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x to 1.2.x
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06004429
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004430Support for user memory management was enabled by default. To
4431accomplish this, the functions png_create_read_struct_2(),
4432png_create_write_struct_2(), png_set_mem_fn(), png_get_mem_ptr(),
4433png_malloc_default(), and png_free_default() were added.
4434
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond6ea40a2009-11-02 07:32:00 -06004435Support for the iTXt chunk has been enabled by default as of
4436version 1.2.41.
4437
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004438Support for certain MNG features was enabled.
4439
4440Support for numbered error messages was added. However, we never got
4441around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
4442png_set_strip_error_numbers() was added (Note: the prototype for this
4443function was inadvertently removed from png.h in PNG_NO_ASSEMBLER_CODE
4444builds of libpng-1.2.15. It was restored in libpng-1.2.36).
4445
4446The png_malloc_warn() function was added at libpng-1.2.3. This issues
4447a png_warning and returns NULL instead of aborting when it fails to
4448acquire the requested memory allocation.
4449
4450Support for setting user limits on image width and height was enabled
4451by default. The functions png_set_user_limits(), png_get_user_width_max(),
4452and png_get_user_height_max() were added at libpng-1.2.6.
4453
4454The png_set_add_alpha() function was added at libpng-1.2.7.
4455
4456The function png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was added at libpng-1.2.9.
4457Unlike png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8(), the new function does not expand the
4458tRNS chunk to alpha. The png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() function is
4459deprecated.
4460
4461A number of macro definitions in support of runtime selection of
4462assembler code features (especially Intel MMX code support) were
4463added at libpng-1.2.0:
4464
4465 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_COMPILED
4466 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_SUPPORT_IN_CPU
4467 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_COMBINE_ROW
4468 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_INTERLACE
4469 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_SUB
4470 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_UP
4471 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_AVG
4472 PNG_ASM_FLAG_MMX_READ_FILTER_PAETH
4473 PNG_ASM_FLAGS_INITIALIZED
4474 PNG_MMX_READ_FLAGS
4475 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
4476 PNG_MMX_WRITE_FLAGS
4477 PNG_MMX_FLAGS
4478
4479We added the following functions in support of runtime
4480selection of assembler code features:
4481
4482 png_get_mmx_flagmask()
4483 png_set_mmx_thresholds()
4484 png_get_asm_flags()
4485 png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold()
4486 png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold()
4487 png_set_asm_flags()
4488
4489We replaced all of these functions with simple stubs in libpng-1.2.20,
4490when the Intel assembler code was removed due to a licensing issue.
4491
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3d893a02009-08-31 13:32:46 -05004492These macros are deprecated:
4493
4494 PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4495 PNG_PROGRESSIVE_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED
4496 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ_SUPPORTED
4497 PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4498 PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4499 PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED
4500
4501They have been replaced, respectively, by:
4502
4503 PNG_NO_READ_TRANSFORMS
4504 PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ
4505 PNG_NO_SEQUENTIAL_READ
4506 PNG_NO_WRITE_TRANSFORMS
4507 PNG_NO_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4508 PNG_NO_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4509
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004510PNG_MAX_UINT was replaced with PNG_UINT_31_MAX. It has been
4511deprecated since libpng-1.0.16 and libpng-1.2.6.
4512
4513The function
4514 png_check_sig(sig, num)
4515was replaced with
4516 !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num)
4517It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
4518
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004519The function
4520 png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
4521which also expands tRNS to alpha was replaced with
4522 png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8()
4523which does not. It has been deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004524
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond740c842009-11-04 19:01:54 -06004525.SH IX. Changes to Libpng from version 1.0.x/1.2.x to 1.4.x
4526
4527Private libpng prototypes and macro definitions were moved from
4528png.h and pngconf.h into a new pngpriv.h header file.
4529
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004530Functions png_set_benign_errors(), png_benign_error(), and
4531png_chunk_benign_error() were added.
4532
4533Support for setting the maximum amount of memory that the application
4534will allocate for reading chunks was added, as a security measure.
4535The functions png_set_chunk_cache_max() and png_get_chunk_cache_max()
4536were added to the library.
4537
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06004538We implemented support for I/O states by adding png_ptr member io_state
4539and functions png_get_io_chunk_name() and png_get_io_state() in pngget.c
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004540
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05004541We added PNG_TRANSFORM_GRAY_TO_RGB to the available high-level
4542input transforms.
4543
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05004544Checking for and reporting of errors in the IHDR chunk is more thorough.
4545
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004546Support for global arrays was removed, to improve thread safety.
4547
4548Some obsolete/deprecated macros and functions have been removed.
4549
4550Typecasted NULL definitions such as
4551 #define png_voidp_NULL (png_voidp)NULL
4552were eliminated. If you used these in your application, just use
4553NULL instead.
4554
4555The png_struct and info_struct members "trans" and "trans_values" were
4556changed to "trans_alpha" and "trans_color", respectively.
4557
4558The obsolete, unused pnggccrd.c and pngvcrd.c files and related makefiles
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004559were removed.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004560
4561The PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros were eliminated.
4562
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05004563The PNG_LEGACY_SUPPORTED macro was eliminated.
4564
4565Many WIN32_WCE #ifdefs were removed.
4566
4567The functions png_read_init(info_ptr), png_write_init(info_ptr),
4568png_info_init(info_ptr), png_read_destroy(), and png_write_destroy()
4569have been removed. They have been deprecated since libpng-0.95.
4570
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004571The png_permit_empty_plte() was removed. It has been deprecated
4572since libpng-1.0.9. Use png_permit_mng_features() instead.
4573
4574We removed the obsolete stub functions png_get_mmx_flagmask(),
4575png_set_mmx_thresholds(), png_get_asm_flags(),
4576png_get_mmx_bitdepth_threshold(), png_get_mmx_rowbytes_threshold(),
4577png_set_asm_flags(), and png_mmx_supported()
4578
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004579We removed the obsolete png_check_sig(), png_memcpy_check(), and
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05004580png_memset_check() functions. Instead use !png_sig_cmp(), memcpy(),
4581and memset(), respectively.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004582
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004583The function png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was removed. It has been
4584deprecated since libpng-1.0.18 and 1.2.9, when it was replaced with
4585png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() because the former function also
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc36bb792011-02-12 09:49:07 -06004586expanded any tRNS chunk to an alpha channel.
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004587
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004588Macros for png_get_uint_16, png_get_uint_32, and png_get_int_32
4589were added and are used by default instead of the corresponding
4590functions. Unfortunately,
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc36bb792011-02-12 09:49:07 -06004591from libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004592function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
4593
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004594We changed the prototype for png_malloc() from
4595 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_uint_32 size)
4596to
4597 png_malloc(png_structp png_ptr, png_alloc_size_t size)
4598
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone3f3c4e2010-02-07 18:08:50 -06004599This also applies to the prototype for the user replacement malloc_fn().
4600
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004601The png_calloc() function was added and is used in place of
Glenn Randers-Pehrson2be8b642010-07-29 19:09:18 -05004602of "png_malloc(); memset();" except in the case in png_read_png()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004603where the array consists of pointers; in this case a "for" loop is used
4604after the png_malloc() to set the pointers to NULL, to give robust.
4605behavior in case the application runs out of memory part-way through
4606the process.
4607
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004608We changed the prototypes of png_get_compression_buffer_size() and
4609png_set_compression_buffer_size() to work with png_size_t instead of
4610png_uint_32.
4611
Glenn Randers-Pehrson45af8192009-12-30 08:37:29 -06004612Support for numbered error messages was removed by default, since we
4613never got around to actually numbering the error messages. The function
4614png_set_strip_error_numbers() was removed from the library by default.
4615
4616The png_zalloc() and png_zfree() functions are no longer exported.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004617The png_zalloc() function no longer zeroes out the memory that it
4618allocates.
4619
Glenn Randers-Pehrson3cd7cff2010-04-16 19:27:08 -05004620Support for dithering was disabled by default in libpng-1.4.0, because
4621been well tested and doesn't actually "dither". The code was not
4622removed, however, and could be enabled by building libpng with
4623PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED defined. In libpng-1.4.2, this support
4624was reenabled, but the function was renamed png_set_quantize() to
4625reflect more accurately what it actually does. At the same time,
4626the PNG_DITHER_[RED,GREEN_BLUE]_BITS macros were also renamed to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004627PNG_QUANTIZE_[RED,GREEN,BLUE]_BITS, and PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED
4628was renamed to PNG_READ_QUANTIZE_SUPPORTED.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson60988072010-04-13 22:11:06 -05004629
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6a9c2ce2009-03-27 19:30:10 -05004630We removed the trailing '.' from the warning and error messages.
4631
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004632.SH X. Changes to Libpng from version 1.4.x to 1.5.x
4633
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc36bb792011-02-12 09:49:07 -06004634From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004635function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32.
4636
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004637A. Changes that affect users of libpng
4638
4639There are no substantial API changes between the non-deprecated parts of
4640the 1.4.5 API and the 1.5.0 API, however the ability to directly access
4641the main libpng control structures, png_struct and png_info, deprecated
4642in earlier versions of libpng, has been completely removed from
4643libpng 1.5.
4644
Glenn Randers-Pehrson00879b12011-01-15 19:25:34 -06004645We no longer include zlib.h in png.h. Applications that need access
4646to information in zlib.h will need to add the '#include "zlib.h"'
4647directive. It does not matter whether it is placed prior to or after
4648the '"#include png.h"' directive.
4649
4650We moved the png_strcpy(), png_strncpy(), png_strlen(), png_memcpy(),
4651png_memcmp(), png_sprintf, and png_memcpy() macros into a private
4652header file (pngpriv.h) that is not accessible to applications.
4653
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9d23b402011-01-08 10:42:01 -06004654In png_get_iCCP, the type of "profile" was changed from png_charpp
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004655to png_bytepp, and in png_set_iCCP, from png_charp to png_const_bytep.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson9d23b402011-01-08 10:42:01 -06004656
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004657There are changes of form in png.h, including new and changed macros to
4658declare
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf5ea1b72011-01-06 06:42:51 -06004659parts of the API. Some API functions with arguments that are pointers to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004660data not modified within the function have been corrected to declare
4661these arguments with PNG_CONST.
4662
4663Much of the internal use of C macros to control the library build has also
4664changed and some of this is visible in the exported header files, in
4665particular the use of macros to control data and API elements visible
4666during application compilation may require significant revision to
4667application code. (It is extremely rare for an application to do this.)
4668
4669Any program that compiled against libpng 1.4 and did not use deprecated
4670features or access internal library structures should compile and work
4671against libpng 1.5.
4672
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6e974102010-12-19 16:44:22 -06004673libpng 1.5.0 adds PNG_ PASS macros to help in the reading and writing of
4674interlaced images. The macros return the number of rows and columns in
4675each pass and information that can be used to de-interlace and (if
4676absolutely necessary) interlace an image.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004677
4678libpng 1.5.0 adds an API png_longjmp(png_ptr, value). This API calls
4679the application provided png_longjmp_ptr on the internal, but application
4680initialized, jmpbuf. It is provided as a convenience to avoid the need
4681to use the png_jmpbuf macro, which had the unnecessary side effect of
4682resetting the internal png_longjmp_ptr value.
4683
4684libpng 1.5.0 includes a complete fixed point API. By default this is
4685present along with the corresponding floating point API. In general the
4686fixed point API is faster and smaller than the floating point one because
4687the PNG file format used fixed point, not floating point. This applies
4688even if the library uses floating point in internal calculations. A new
4689macro, PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED, reveals whether the library
4690uses floating point arithmetic (the default) or fixed point arithmetic
4691internally for performance critical calculations such as gamma correction.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson00879b12011-01-15 19:25:34 -06004692In some cases, the gamma calculations may produce slightly different
4693results. This has changed the results in png_rgb_to_gray and in alpha
4694composition (png_set_background for example). This applies even if the
4695original image was already linear (gamma == 1.0) and, therefore, it is
4696not necessary to linearize the image. This is because libpng has *not*
4697been changed to optimize that case correctly, yet.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004698
4699Fixed point support for the sCAL chunk comes with an important caveat;
4700the sCAL specification uses a decimal encoding of floating point values
4701and the accuracy of PNG fixed point values is insufficient for
4702representation of these values. Consequently a "string" API
4703(png_get_sCAL_s and png_set_sCAL_s) is the only reliable way of reading
4704arbitrary sCAL chunks in the absence of either the floating point API or
4705internal floating point calculations.
4706
4707Applications no longer need to include the optional distribution header
4708file pngusr.h or define the corresponding macros during application
4709build in order to see the correct variant of the libpng API. From 1.5.0
4710application code can check for the corresponding _SUPPORTED macro:
4711
4712#ifdef PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
4713 /* code that uses the inch conversion APIs. */
4714#endif
4715
4716This macro will only be defined if the inch conversion functions have been
4717compiled into libpng. The full set of macros, and whether or not support
4718has been compiled in, are available in the header file pnglibconf.h.
4719This header file is specific to the libpng build. Notice that prior to
47201.5.0 the _SUPPORTED macros would always have the default definition unless
4721reset by pngusr.h or by explicit settings on the compiler command line.
4722These settings may produce compiler warnings or errors in 1.5.0 because
4723of macro redefinition.
4724
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonc36bb792011-02-12 09:49:07 -06004725From libpng-1.4.0 until 1.4.4, the png_get_uint_16 macro (but not the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004726function) incorrectly returned a value of type png_uint_32. libpng 1.5.0
4727is consistent with the implementation in 1.4.5 and 1.2.x (where the macro
4728did not exist.)
4729
4730Applications can now choose whether to use these macros or to call the
4731corresponding function by defining PNG_USE_READ_MACROS or
4732PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS before including png.h. Notice that this is
4733only supported from 1.5.0 -defining PNG_NO_USE_READ_MACROS prior to 1.5.0
4734 will lead to a link failure.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson59fa3e92011-01-06 07:07:06 -06004735
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004736B. Changes to the build and configuration of libpng
4737
4738Details of internal changes to the library code can be found in the CHANGES
4739file. These will be of no concern to the vast majority of library users or
4740builders, however the few who configure libpng to a non-default feature
4741set may need to change how this is done.
4742
4743There should be no need for library builders to alter build scripts if
4744these use the distributed build support - configure or the makefiles -
4745however users of the makefiles may care to update their build scripts
4746to build pnglibconf.h where the corresponding makefile does not do so.
4747
4748Building libpng with a non-default configuration has changed completely.
4749The old method using pngusr.h should still work correctly even though the
4750way pngusr.h is used in the build has been changed, however library
4751builders will probably want to examine the changes to take advantage of
4752new capabilities and to simplify their build system.
4753
4754B.1 Specific changes to library configuration capabilities
4755
4756The library now supports a complete fixed point implementation and can
4757thus be used on systems which have no floating point support or very
4758limited or slow support. Previously gamma correction, an essential part
4759of complete PNG support, required reasonably fast floating point.
4760
4761As part of this the choice of internal implementation has been made
4762independent of the choice of fixed versus floating point APIs and all the
4763missing fixed point APIs have been implemented.
4764
4765The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
4766changed. A single set of operating system independent macro definitions
4767is used and operating system specific directives are defined in
4768pnglibconf.h
4769
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004770As part of this the mechanism used to choose procedure call standards on
4771those systems that allow a choice has been changed. At present this only
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004772affects certain Microsoft (DOS, Windows) and IBM (OS/2) operating systems
4773running on Intel processors. As before PNGAPI is defined where required
4774to control the exported API functions; however, two new macros, PNGCBAPI
4775and PNGCAPI, are used instead for callback functions (PNGCBAPI) and
4776(PNGCAPI) for functions that must match a C library prototype (currently
4777only png_longjmp_ptr, which must match the C longjmp function.) The new
4778approach is documented in pngconf.h
4779
4780Despite these changes libpng 1.5.0 only supports the native C function
4781calling standard on those platforms tested so far (__cdecl on Microsoft
4782Windows). This is because the support requirements for alternative
4783calling conventions seem to no longer exist. Developers who find it
4784necessary to set PNG_API_RULE to 1 should advise the mailing list
4785(png-mng-implement) of this and library builders who use Openwatcom and
4786therefore set PNG_API_RULE to 2 should also contact the mailing list.
4787
4788A new test program, pngvalid, is provided in addition to pngtest.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004789pngvalid validates the arithmetic accuracy of the gamma correction
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004790calculations and includes a number of validations of the file format.
4791A subset of the full range of tests is run when "make check" is done
4792(in the 'configure' build.) pngvalid also allows total allocated memory
4793usage to be evaluated and performs additional memory overwrite validation.
4794
4795Many changes to individual feature macros have been made. The following
4796are the changes most likely to be noticed by library builders who
4797configure libpng:
4798
47991) All feature macros now have consistent naming:
4800
4801#define PNG_NO_feature turns the feature off
4802#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED turns the feature on
4803
4804pnglibconf.h contains one line for each feature macro which is either:
4805
4806#define PNG_feature_SUPPORTED
4807
4808if the feature is supported or:
4809
4810/*#undef PNG_feature_SUPPORTED*/
4811
4812if it is not. Library code consistently checks for the 'SUPPORTED' macro.
4813It does not, and should not, check for the 'NO' macro which will not
4814normally be defined even if the feature is not supported.
4815
4816Compatibility with the old names is provided as follows:
4817
4818PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS turns on PNG_INCH_CONVERSIONS_SUPPORTED
4819
4820And the following definitions disable the corresponding feature:
4821
4822PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED disables SETJMP
4823PNG_READ_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_TRANSFORMS
4824PNG_NO_READ_COMPOSITED_NODIV disables READ_COMPOSITE_NODIV
4825PNG_WRITE_TRANSFORMS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_TRANSFORMS
4826PNG_READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables READ_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4827PNG_WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS_NOT_SUPPORTED disables WRITE_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS
4828
4829Library builders should remove use of the above, inconsistent, names.
4830
48312) Warning and error message formatting was previously conditional on
4832the STDIO feature. The library has been changed to use the
4833CONSOLE_IO feature instead. This means that if CONSOLE_IO is disabled
4834the library no longer uses the printf(3) functions, even though the
4835default read/write implementations use (FILE) style stdio.h functions.
4836
48373) Three feature macros now control the fixed/floating point decisions:
4838
4839PNG_FLOATING_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the floating point APIs
4840
4841PNG_FIXED_POINT_SUPPORTED enables the fixed point APIs; however, in
4842practice these are normally required internally anyway (because the PNG
4843file format is fixed point), therefore in most cases PNG_NO_FIXED_POINT
4844merely stops the function from being exported.
4845
4846PNG_FLOATING_ARITHMETIC_SUPPORTED chooses between the internal floating
4847point implementation or the fixed point one. Typically the fixed point
4848implementation is larger and slower than the floating point implementation
4849on a system that supports floating point, however it may be faster on a
4850system which lacks floating point hardware and therefore uses a software
4851emulation.
4852
48534) Added PNG_{READ,WRITE}_INT_FUNCTIONS_SUPPORTED. This allows the
4854functions to read and write ints to be disabled independently of
4855PNG_USE_READ_MACROS, which allows libpng to be built with the functions
4856even though the default is to use the macros - this allows applications
4857to choose at app buildtime whether or not to use macros (previously
4858impossible because the functions weren't in the default build.)
4859
4860B.2 Changes to the configuration mechanism
4861
4862Prior to libpng-1.5.0 library builders who needed to configure libpng
4863had either to modify the exported pngconf.h header file to add system
4864specific configuration or had to write feature selection macros into
4865pngusr.h and cause this to be included into pngconf.h by defining
4866PNG_USER_CONFIG. The latter mechanism had the disadvantage that an
4867application built without PNG_USER_CONFIG defined would see the
4868unmodified, default, libpng API and thus would probably fail to link.
4869
4870These mechanisms still work in the configure build and in any makefile
4871build that builds pnglibconf.h although the feature selection macros
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004872have changed somewhat as described above. In 1.5.0, however, pngusr.h is
4873processed only once, when the exported header file pnglibconf.h is built.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004874pngconf.h no longer includes pngusr.h, therefore it is ignored after the
4875build of pnglibconf.h and it is never included in an application build.
4876
4877The rarely used alternative of adding a list of feature macros to the
4878CFLAGS setting in the build also still works, however the macros will be
4879copied to pnglibconf.h and this may produce macro redefinition warnings
4880when the individual C files are compiled.
4881
4882All configuration now only works if pnglibconf.h is built from
4883scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This requires the program awk. Brian Kernighan
4884(the original author of awk) maintains C source code of that awk and this
4885and all known later implementations (often called by subtly different
4886names - nawk and gawk for example) are adequate to build pnglibconf.h.
4887The Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) program 'awk' is an earlier version
4888and does not work, this may also apply to other systems that have a
4889functioning awk called 'nawk'.
4890
4891Configuration options are now documented in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This
4892file also includes dependency information that ensures a configuration is
4893consistent; that is, if a feature is switched off dependent features are
4894also removed. As a recommended alternative to using feature macros in
4895pngusr.h a system builder may also define equivalent options in pngusr.dfa
4896(or, indeed, any file) and add that to the configuration by setting
4897DFA_XTRA to the file name. The makefiles in contrib/pngminim illustrate
4898how to do this, and a case where pngusr.h is still required.
4899
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004900.SH XI. Detecting libpng
Glenn Randers-Pehrson424c9852009-06-02 13:45:15 -05004901
4902The png_get_io_ptr() function has been present since libpng-0.88, has never

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004909.SH XII. Source code repository
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004910
4911Since about February 2009, version 1.2.34, libpng has been under "git" source
4912control. The git repository was built from old libpng-x.y.z.tar.gz files
4913going back to version 0.70. You can access the git repository (read only)
4914at
4915
4916 git://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libpng
4917
4918or you can browse it via "gitweb" at
4919
4920 http://libpng.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libpng
4921
4922Patches can be sent to glennrp at users.sourceforge.net or to
4923png-mng-implement at lists.sourceforge.net or you can upload them to
4924the libpng bug tracker at
4925
4926 http://libpng.sourceforge.net
4927
Glenn Randers-Pehrson7bc25012011-01-21 23:29:09 -06004928We also accept patches built from the tar or zip distributions, and
4929simple verbal discriptions of bug fixes, reported either to the
4930SourceForge bug tracker or to the png-mng-implement at lists.sf.net
4931mailing list.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06004933.SH XIII. Coding style
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004934
4935Our coding style is similar to the "Allman" style, with curly
4936braces on separate lines:
4937
4938 if (condition)
4939 {
4940 action;
4941 }
4942
4943 else if (another condition)
4944 {
4945 another action;
4946 }
4947
4948The braces can be omitted from simple one-line actions:
4949
4950 if (condition)
4951 return (0);
4952
4953We use 3-space indentation, except for continued statements which
4954are usually indented the same as the first line of the statement
4955plus four more spaces.
4956
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5ade7ed2009-09-30 15:11:49 -05004957For macro definitions we use 2-space indentation, always leaving the "#"
4958in the first column.
4959
4960 #ifndef PNG_NO_FEATURE
4961 # ifndef PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
4962 # define PNG_FEATURE_SUPPORTED
4963 # endif
4964 #endif
4965
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004966Comments appear with the leading "/*" at the same indentation as
4967the statement that follows the comment:
4968
4969 /* Single-line comment */
4970 statement;
4971
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone4c706a2010-03-06 14:51:54 -06004972 /* This is a multiple-line
4973 * comment.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004974 */
4975 statement;
4976
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone4c706a2010-03-06 14:51:54 -06004977Very short comments can be placed after the end of the statement
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004978to which they pertain:
4979
4980 statement; /* comment */
4981
4982We don't use C++ style ("//") comments. We have, however,
4983used them in the past in some now-abandoned MMX assembler
4984code.
4985
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonb5444a12009-06-08 08:36:19 -05004986Functions and their curly braces are not indented, and
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004987exported functions are marked with PNGAPI:
4988
4989 /* This is a public function that is visible to
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06004990 * application programmers. It does thus-and-so.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05004991 */
4992 void PNGAPI
4993 png_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
4994 {
4995 body;
4996 }
4997
Glenn Randers-Pehrson416976f2009-07-27 22:16:09 -05004998The prototypes for all exported functions appear in png.h,
4999above the comment that says
5000
5001 /* Maintainer: Put new public prototypes here ... */
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05005002
5003We mark all non-exported functions with "/* PRIVATE */"":
5004
5005 void /* PRIVATE */
5006 png_non_exported_function(png_ptr, png_info, foo)
5007 {
5008 body;
5009 }
5010
Glenn Randers-Pehrson416976f2009-07-27 22:16:09 -05005011The prototypes for non-exported functions (except for those in
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5df7edb2009-10-29 23:32:44 -05005012pngtest) appear in
5013pngpriv.h
Glenn Randers-Pehrson416976f2009-07-27 22:16:09 -05005014above the comment that says
5015
5016 /* Maintainer: Put new private prototypes here ^ and in libpngpf.3 */
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05005017
Glenn Randers-Pehrsoncbbe9a52011-01-29 16:12:11 -06005018To avoid polluting the global namespace, the names of all exported
5019functions and variables begin with "png_", and all publicly visible C
5020preprocessor macros begin with "PNG_". We request that applications that
5021use libpng *not* begin any of their own symbols with either of these strings.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05005022
5023We put a space after each comma and after each semicolon
Glenn Randers-Pehrson49a56e72010-12-06 20:06:01 -06005024in "for" statements, and we put spaces before and after each
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone4c706a2010-03-06 14:51:54 -06005025C binary operator and after "for" or "while", and before
5026"?". We don't put a space between a typecast and the expression
5027being cast, nor do we put one between a function name and the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05005028left parenthesis that follows it:
5029
5030 for (i = 2; i > 0; --i)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson67f3b482009-09-23 11:36:28 -05005031 y[i] = a(x) + (int)b;
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05005032
Glenn Randers-Pehrsond60c8862009-06-15 21:56:14 -05005033We prefer #ifdef and #ifndef to #if defined() and if !defined()
5034when there is only one macro being tested.
5035
Glenn Randers-Pehrson67f3b482009-09-23 11:36:28 -05005036We do not use the TAB character for indentation in the C sources.
5037
Glenn Randers-Pehrson62ca98e2009-12-20 15:14:57 -06005038Lines do not exceed 80 characters.
5039
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonf210a052009-11-12 10:02:24 -06005040Other rules can be inferred by inspecting the libpng source.

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5b40b012010-11-25 07:16:29 -06005042.SH XIV. Y2K Compliance in libpng
Glenn Randers-Pehrson76546822009-05-16 07:25:42 -05005043

Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005045
5046Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
5047an official declaration.
5048
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005049This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
Glenn Randers-Pehrson93215672011-02-13 19:42:19 -06005050upward through 1.5.2beta02 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005051versions were also Y2K compliant.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005052
5053Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer that
5054will hold years up to 65535. The other two hold the date in text
5055format, and will hold years up to 9999.
5056
5057The integer is
5058 "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
5059
5060The strings are
5061 "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
5062 "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.
5063
5064There are seven time-related functions:
5065
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06005066 png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005067 (formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error)
Glenn Randers-Pehrson19095602001-03-14 07:08:39 -06005068 png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called
5069 in pngwrite.c
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005070 png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
5071 png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
5072 png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
5073 png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
5074 png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
5075
Glenn Randers-Pehrson166c5a31999-12-10 09:43:02 -06005076All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005077png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
5078clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
5079the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using
5080libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005081function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
5082instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
5083but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
5084stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
5085documented as such.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson87544ac1999-01-13 22:06:39 -06005086
5087The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
5088integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
5089
Glenn Randers-Pehrson4393a9a1999-09-17 12:27:26 -05005090zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
5091no date-related code.

5100Note about libpng version numbers:
5101
5102Due to various miscommunications, unforeseen code incompatibilities
5103and occasional factors outside the authors' control, version numbering
5104on the library has not always been consistent and straightforward.
5105The following table summarizes matters since version 0.89c, which was

5239and patch numbers; the shared-library major version number will be
5240used for changes in backward compatibility, as it is intended. The
5241PNG_PNGLIB_VER macro, which is not used within libpng but is available
5242for applications, is an unsigned integer of the form xyyzz corresponding
5243to the source version x.y.z (leading zeros in y and z). Beta versions
Glenn Randers-Pehrsone1644472001-03-23 05:06:56 -06005244were given the previous public release number plus a letter, until
5245version 1.0.6j; from then on they were given the upcoming public
5246release number plus "betaNN" or "rcN".
