NAME
img-raw - Img, Raw Data Format (raw)
SYNOPSIS
package require Tk
package require img::raw ?1.4?
image create photo ?name? ?options?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The package img::raw is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete
Img support, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::raw.
Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk
command image so that it supports files containing raster images in the Raw Data Format
(raw). More specifically img::raw extends Tk's photo image type.
The name of the new format handler is raw. This handler provides new additional
configuration options. See section RAW OPTIONS for more detailed explanations.
All of the above means that in a call like
image create photo ?name? ?options?
[1] Image data in raw format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.
[2] The format name raw is recognized by the option -format. In addition the value for
the option is treated as list and may contain any of the special options listed in
section RAW OPTIONS.
NOTE
This format handler must be loaded explicitly with package require img::raw.
SUPPORTED RAW TYPES
Grayscale image: 1 channel of 64-bit floating point values.
1 channel of 32-bit floating point values.
1 channel of 32-bit unsigned integer values.
1 channel of 16-bit unsigned integer values.
1 channel of 8-bit unsigned integer values.
True-color image: 3 channels of 64-bit floating point values.
3 channels of 32-bit floating point values.
3 channels of 32-bit unsigned integer values.
3 channels of 16-bit unsigned integer values.
3 channels of 8-bit unsigned integer values.
List of currently supported features:
Type | Read | Write |
| -file | -data | -file | -data |
----------------------------------------
Gray | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
RGB | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
There are 2 supported file formats:
One with the pure raw data only, the other with a 7 line ASCII header
of the following form:
Magic=RAW\n File format identifier. Fixed value.
Width=128\n Image width in pixels.
Height=128\n Image height in pixels.
NumChan=1\n Possible values: 1 or 3.
ByteOrder=Intel\n Possible values: "Intel" or "Motorola".
ScanOrder=TopDown\n Possible values: "TopDown" or "BottomUp".
PixelType=byte\n Possible values: "double", "float", "int", "short" or "byte".
RAW OPTIONS
The handler provides the following options:
-verbose bool
This option is supported for reading and writing.
If set to true, additional information about the loaded/stored image is printed to
stdout. Default is false.
-useheader bool
This option is supported for reading and writing.
If set to true, use the file header information for reading and writing. Default
is true.
-nchan int
This option is supported for reading and writing image data without header.
Specify the number of channels of the input image. Default is 1.
-width int
This option is supported for reading image data without header only.
Specify the width of the input image. Default is 128.
-height int
This option is supported for reading image data without header only.
Specify the height of the input image. Default is 128.
-byteorder string
This option is supported for reading image data without header only.
Specify the byteorder of the input image data. Possible values: Intel or Motorola.
Default is assuming the same byteorder as that of the host computer.
-uuencode bool
This option is supported for reading image data without header only.
If set to false, do not assume, that the image data stored in a Tcl variable is
uuencoded. Default is true, i.e. the image data in a Tcl variable is assumed to be
uuencoded.
-scanorder string
This option is supported for reading and writing image data without header.
Specify the scanline order of the input image. Possible values: TopDown or
BottomUp. Default is assuming the same byteorder as that of the host computer.
-pixeltype string
This option is supported for reading image data without header only.
Specify the type of the pixel values. Possible values: double or float or int or
short or byte. Default is byte.
RAW files are always written in byte pixel format.
-gamma float
This option is supported for reading only.
Specify a gamma correction to be applied when mapping the input data to 8-bit image
values. Default is 1.0.
-nomap bool
This option is supported for reading only.
If set to true, no mapping of input values is done. Use this option, if your image
already contains RGB values in the range of 0 .. 255. When using the nomap mode,
no information about the minimum and maximum pixel values is gathered during
reading and therefore no verbose output is printed. On the other hand reading the
image is faster. Default is false.
-min float
This option is supported for reading only.
Specify the minimum pixel value to be used for mapping the input data to 8-bit
image values. Default is the minimum value found in the image data.
-max float
This option is supported for reading only.
Specify the maximum pixel value to be used for mapping the input data to 8-bit
image values. Default is the maximum value found in the image data.
