=head2 Data Types

=over

=item i_img

  i_img *img;

This is Imager's image type.

It contains the following members:

=over

=item *

C<channels> - the number of channels in the image

=item *

C<xsize>, C<ysize> - the width and height of the image in pixels

=item *

C<bytes> - the number of bytes used to store the image data.  Undefined
where virtual is non-zero.

=item *

C<ch_mask> - a mask of writable channels.  eg. if this is 6 then only
channels 1 and 2 are writable.  There may be bits set for which there
are no channels in the image.

=item *

C<bits> - the number of bits stored per sample.  Should be one of
i_8_bits, i_16_bits, i_double_bits.

=item *

C<type> - either i_direct_type for direct color images, or i_palette_type
for paletted images.

=item *

C<virtual> - if zero then this image is-self contained.  If non-zero
then this image could be an interface to some other implementation.

=item *

C<idata> - the image data.  This should not be directly accessed.  A new
image implementation can use this to store its image data.
i_img_destroy() will myfree() this pointer if it's non-null.

=item *

C<tags> - a structure storing the image's tags.  This should only be
accessed via the i_tags_*() functions.

=item *

C<ext_data> - a pointer for use internal to an image implementation.
This should be freed by the image's destroy handler.

=item *

C<im_data> - data internal to Imager.  This is initialized by
i_img_init().

=item *

i_f_ppix, i_f_ppixf, i_f_plin, i_f_plinf, i_f_gpix, i_f_gpixf,
i_f_glin, i_f_glinf, i_f_gsamp, i_f_gampf - implementations for each
of the required image functions.  An image implementation should
initialize these between calling i_img_alloc() and i_img_init().

=item *

i_f_gpal, i_f_ppal, i_f_addcolors, i_f_getcolors, i_f_colorcount,
i_f_maxcolors, i_f_findcolor, i_f_setcolors - implementations for each
paletted image function.

=item *

i_f_destroy - custom image destruction function.  This should be used
to release memory if necessary.

=item *

i_f_gsamp_bits - implements i_gsamp_bits() for this image.

=item *

i_f_psamp_bits - implements i_psamp_bits() for this image.

=item *

i_f_psamp - implements psamp() for this image.

=item *

i_f_psampf - implements psamp() for this image.

=item i_color

  i_color black;
  black.rgba.r = black.rgba.g = black.rgba.b = black.rgba.a = 0;

Type for 8-bit/sample color.

Samples as per;

  i_color c;

i_color is a union of:

=over

=item *

gray - contains a single element gray_color, eg. C<c.gray.gray_color>

=item *

C<rgb> - contains three elements C<r>, C<g>, C<b>, eg. C<c.rgb.r>

=item *

C<rgba> - contains four elements C<r>, C<g>, C<b>, C<a>, eg. C<c.rgba.a>

=item *

C<cmyk> - contains four elements C<c>, C<m>, C<y>, C<k>,
eg. C<c.cmyk.y>.  Note that Imager never uses CMYK colors except when
reading/writing files.

=item *

channels - an array of four channels, eg C<c.channels[2]>.

=item i_fcolor

This is the double/sample color type.

Its layout exactly corresponds to i_color.


=for comment
From: File imdatatypes.h

=item i_fill_t

  i_fill_t *fill;

This is the "abstract" base type for Imager's fill types.

Unless you're implementing a new fill type you'll typically treat this
as an opaque type.


=for comment
From: File imdatatypes.h

=item i_img_dim

  i_img_dim x, y;

A signed integer type that represents an image dimension or ordinate.

May be larger than int on some platforms.


=for comment
From: File imdatatypes.h

=item i_DF

  printf("left %" i_DF "\n", i_DFc(x));

This is a constant string that can be used with functions like
printf() to format i_img_dim values after they're been cast with i_DFc().

Does not include the leading C<%>.


=for comment
From: File imdatatypes.h

=item i_DFc

Cast an C<i_img_dim> value to a type for use with the i_DF format
string.


=for comment
From: File imdatatypes.h

=for comment
From: File imdatatypes.h

=item i_DFp

=item i_clear_error()

  i_clear_error();

Clears the error stack.

Called by any Imager function before doing any other processing.


=for comment
From: File error.c

=item i_push_error(int code, char const *msg)

  i_push_error(0, "Yep, it's broken");
  i_push_error(errno, "Error writing");

Called by an Imager function to push an error message onto the stack.

No message is pushed if the stack is full (since this means someone
forgot to call i_clear_error(), or that a function that doesn't do
error handling is calling function that does.).

=item i_push_errorf(int code, char const *fmt, ...)

  i_push_errorf(errno, "Cannot open file %s: %d", filename, errno);

Does not support perl specific format codes.

From: File error.c

=item i_push_errorvf(int C<code>, char const *C<fmt>, va_list C<ap>)


Intended for use by higher level functions, takes a varargs pointer

=item i_int_check_image_file_limits(width, height, channels, sample_size)


  i_i_int_check_image_file_limits(width, height, channels, sizeof(i_sample_t))

Checks the size of a file in memory against the configured image file
limits.

This also range checks the values to those permitted by Imager and
checks for overflows in calculating the size.

Returns non-zero if the file is within limits.

This function is intended to be called by image file read functions.

=item i_set_image_file_limits(width, height, bytes)


  i_set_image_file_limits(500, 500, 1000000);

Set limits on the sizes of images read by Imager.

Setting a limit to 0 means that limit is ignored.

Negative limits result in failure.

Parameters:

=over

=item *

i_img_dim width, height - maximum width and height.

=item *

size_t bytes - maximum size in memory in bytes

=back

Returns non-zero on success.

  i_fill_t *fill = i_new_fill_hatch(&fg_color, &bg_color, combine, hatch, custom_hatch, dx, dy);

Creates a new hatched fill with the C<fg> color used for the 1 bits in
the hatch and C<bg> for the 0 bits.  If C<combine> is non-zero alpha
values will be combined.

If C<cust_hatch> is non-NULL it should be a pointer to 8 bytes of the
hash definition, with the high-bits to the left.

If C<cust_hatch> is NULL then one of the standard hatches is used.

(C<dx>, C<dy>) are an offset into the hatch which can be used to hatch
adjoining areas out of alignment, or to align the origin of a hatch
with the the side of a filled area.

Returns the number of bytes read.

Always C<NUL> terminates the buffer.

Buffer at least C<size> (at most C<< ig->buf_size >> bytes of data
from the stream and return C<size> bytes of it to the caller in
C<buffer>.

This ignores the buffered state of the stream, and will always setup
buffering if needed.

If no C<type> parameter is provided to Imager::read() or
Imager::read_multi(), Imager will call C<i_io_peekn()> when probing

Takes the source that the io_glue is bound to and allocates space for

Note: This only works for io_glue objects created by
io_new_bufchain().  It is useful for saving to scalars and such.
