Description:


Reader for JPEG images.

This uses the libpeg library to read the image

Only writing of depth24 images is currently supported.

Class protocol:

class initialization
o  initialize
install myself in the Image classes fileFormat table
for the `.jpg' and '.jpeg' extensions.

defaults
o  defaultCompressQuality

o  defaultCompressQuality: percent

testing
o  canRepresent: anImage
return true, if anImage can be represented in my file format.
For now, only d24 images are supported.

o  isValidImageFile: aFilenameOrString
return true, if aFileName contains a JPG image.
Only look at the file's name here ...

Usage example(s): 

     self isValidImageFile:'xxx.jpg'

Instance protocol:

accessing
o  app1SegmentHandler: aBlock
set a handler block for app1 segment data (geolocation in exif format)

o  compressQuality: compressQualityOrNilForDefault

o  forceDitherMode: something
set the dither mode, to one of #none or #ordered

o  forceGrayscale: something
set the forceGrayscale mode; if true, grayScale images are
returned, even if the input contains a color image.

private
o  app1SegmentCallback
return a callback function which invokes the app1SegmentHandlerBlock if defined.
This will be called to handle the exif segment, containing geolocation tags.
Return nil if there is no handler block defined

o  create_jpeg_compress_struct

o  create_jpeg_decompress_struct

o  decompressChunkInto: aByteArray startingAt: index

o  extractApp1DataFrom: data
= 'Exif' + 0-byte

o  extractExifDataFrom: data

o  fetchApp1SegmentData
msb first

o  finish_compress

o  finish_decompress

o  get_error_message

o  jpeg_getc

o  start_decompress

reading
o  fromStream: aStream
read a JPG image from a stream.
For now, we can only read from a stdio-FILE with libjpeg
(need to write a mem-reader to read from a Smalltalk stream).
Therefore, any internal stream data is copied to a temporary file first,
and libjpg asked to decompress from there.
This should be fixed, if jpeg reading is a bottleneck in your app.

Usage example(s): 

     |stream|
     stream := #[] readWriteStream.
     '../../support/libjpeg-9/testimg.jpg' asFilename copyToStream:stream.
     JPEGReader fromStream:stream

Usage example(s): 

     |stream reader|

     stream := '../../support/libjpeg-9/testimg.jpg' asFilename readStream.
     reader := JPEGReader new.
     reader forceGrayscale:true.
     reader forceDitherMode:#ordered.
     reader fromStream:stream.
     ^ reader image

writing
o  compressScanlines

o  save: anImage onFile: aFilenameOrFilenameString
ex return.

o  save: image onStream: aStream
save image in JPG-file-format onto aStream

notice: for this kind of cartoon images, gif is actually more compact than jpeg (with reasonable quality) good quality:
