libAfterImage/ASImage
NAMEASImage
is the main structure to hold image data.
DESCRIPTION
Images are stored internally split into ARGB channels, each split into scanline. Actuall
data is stored using ASStorage container. Inside ASImage data structure we only store IDs
pointing to data in ASStorage ASStorage implements reference counting, data compression,
automatic memory defragmentation and other nice things.

libAfterImage/asimage/ASImageLayer
NAMEASImageLayer
specifies parameters of the image superimposition.
DESCRIPTION
libAfterImage allows for simultaneous superimposition (overlaying) of arbitrary number of
images. To facilitate this ASImageLayer structure has been created in order to specify
parameters of each image participating in overlaying operation. Images need not to be
exact same size. For each image its position on destination is specified via dst_x and
dst_y data members. Each image maybe tiled and clipped to fit into rectangle specified by
clip_x, clip_y, clip_width, clip_height ( in image coordinates - not destination ). If
image is missing, then area specified by dst_x, dst_y, clip_width, clip_height will be
filled with solid_color. Entire image will be tinted using tint parameter prior to
overlaying. Bevel specified by bevel member will be drawn over image prior to overlaying.
Specific overlay method has to be specified. merge_scanlines method is pointer to a
function, that accepts 2 ASScanlines as arguments and performs overlaying of first one
with the second one. There are 15 different merge_scanline methods implemented in
libAfterImage, including alpha-blending, tinting, averaging, HSV and HSL colorspace
operations, etc.
NOTES
ASImageLayer s could be organized into chains using next pointers. Since there could be a
need to rearrange layers and maybe bypass some layers - we need to provide for
flexibility, while at the same time allowing for simplicity of arrays. As the result next
pointers could be used to link together continuous arrays of layer, like so : array1:
[layer1(next==NULL)][layer2(next!=NULL)]
____________________________|
V array2: [layer3(next==NULL)][layer4(next==NULL)][layer5(next!=NULL)]
________________________________________________|
V array3: [layer6(next==NULL)][layer7(next==layer7)]
^______|
While iterating through such a list we check for two conditions - exceeding count of
layers and layer pointing to self. When any of that is met - we stopping iteration.

libAfterImage/asimage/GRADIENT_TYPE_flags
FUNCTION
Combination of this flags defines the way gradient is rendered.
NAMEGRADIENT_TYPE_DIAG
when set it will cause gradient's direction to be rotated by 45 degrees
GRADIENT_TYPE_ORIENTATION will cause gradient direction to be rotated by 90 degrees. When
combined with GRADIENT_TYPE_DIAG - rotates gradient direction by 135 degrees.

FUNCTION
This are named combinations of above flags to define type of gradient.
NAMEGRADIENT_Left2Right
normal left-to-right gradient. GRADIENT_TopLeft2BottomRight diagonal top-left to
bottom-right. GRADIENT_Top2Bottom vertical top to bottom gradient.
GRADIENT_BottomLeft2TopRight diagonal bottom-left to top-right.

libAfterImage/ASGradient
NAMEASGradient
describes how gradient is to be drawn.
DESCRIPTION
libAfterImage includes functionality to draw multipoint gradients in 4 different
directions left->right, top->bottom and diagonal lefttop->rightbottom and
bottomleft->topright. Each gradient described by type, number of colors (or anchor
points), ARGB values for each color and offsets of each point from the beginning of
gradient in fractions of entire length. There should be at least 2 anchor points. very
first point should have offset of 0. and last point should have offset of 1. Gradients are
drawn in ARGB colorspace, so it is possible to have semitransparent gradients.
SEE ALSO

SOURCE
typedef struct ASGradient {
int type; /* see GRADIENT_TYPE above */
int npoints; /* number of anchor points */
ARGB32 *color; /* ARGB color values for each anchor point*/
double *offset; /* offset of each point from the beginning in
* fractions of entire length */ }ASGradient;
libAfterImage/asimage/flip
FUNCTION
This are flags that define rotation angle.
NAMEFLIP_VERTICAL
defines rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise. FLIP_UPSIDEDOWN defines rotation of 180
degrees counterclockwise. combined they define rotation of 270 degrees counterclockwise.
SOURCE
#define FLIP_VERTICAL (0x01<<0) #define FLIP_UPSIDEDOWN (0x01<<1) #define
FLIP_MASK (FLIP_UPSIDEDOWN|FLIP_VERTICAL)
libAfterImage/asimage/flip_gradient()
NAMEflip_gradient()
- rotates gradient in 90 degree increments.
SYNOPSIS
ASGradient *flip_gradient( ASGradient *orig, int flip );
INPUTS
orig - pointer to original ASGradient structure to be rotated.
flip - value defining desired rotation.
RETURN VALUE
Same as original gradient if flip is 0. New gradient structure in any other case.
DESCRIPTION
Rotates ( flips ) gradient data in 90 degree increments. When needed order of points is
reversed.
libAfterImage/asimage/tint
FUNCTION
We use 32 bit ARGB values to define how tinting should be done. The formula for tinting
particular channel data goes like that: tinted_data = (image_data * tint)/128 So if tint
channel value is greater then 127 - same channel will be brighter in destination image; if
it is lower then 127 - same channel will be darker in destination image. Tint channel
value of 127 ( or 0x7F hex ) does not change anything. Alpha channel is tinted as well,
allowing for creation of semitransparent images. Calculations are performed in 24.8 format
- with 8 bit precision. Result is saturated to avoid overflow, and precision is carried
over to next pixel ( error diffusion ), when con verting 24.8 to 8 bit format.
NAMETINT_NONE
special value that disables tinting TINT_LEAVE_SAME also disables tinting.
SOURCE
#define TINT_NONE 0 #define TINT_LEAVE_SAME (0x7F7F7F7F) #define
TINT_HALF_DARKER (0x3F3F3F3F) #define TINT_HALF_BRIGHTER (0xCFCFCFCF) #define
TINT_RED (0x7F7F0000) #define TINT_GREEN (0x7F007F00) #define
TINT_BLUE (0x7F00007F)
libAfterImage/asimage/compression
FUNCTION
Defines the level of compression to attempt on ASImage scanlines.
NAMEASIM_COMPRESSION_NONE
defined as 0 - disables compression. ASIM_COMPRESSION_FULL defined as 100 - highest
compression level. Anything in between 0 and 100 will cause only part of the scanline to
be compressed. This is obsolete. Now all images are compressed if possible.
libAfterImage/asimage/asimage_init()
NAMEasimage_init()
frees datamembers of the supplied ASImage structure, and initializes it to all 0.
SYNOPSIS
void asimage_init (ASImage * im, Bool free_resources);

SYNOPSIS
void flush_asimage_cache (ASImage * im );
INPUTS
im - pointer to valid ASImage structure libAfterImage/asimage/asimage_start()
NAMEasimage_start()
Allocates memory needed to store scanline of the image of supplied size. Assigns all the
data members valid values. Makes sure that ASImage structure is ready to store image data.
SYNOPSIS
void asimage_start (ASImage * im, unsigned int width,
unsigned int height,
unsigned int compression);
INPUTS
im - pointer to valid ASImage structure
width - width of the image
height - height of the image
compression
- level of compression to perform on image data. compression has to be in range of
0-100 with 100 signifying highest level of compression.
NOTES
In order to resize ASImage structure after asimage_start() has been called, asimage_init()
must be invoked to free all the memory, and then asimage_start() has to be called with new
dimensions.
libAfterImage/asimage/create_asimage()
NAMEcreate_asimage()
Performs memory allocation for the new ASImage structure, as well as initialization of
allocated structure based on supplied parameters.
SYNOPSIS
ASImage *create_asimage( unsigned int width,

unsigned int compression);
INPUTS
width - desired image width
height - desired image height
compression
- compression level in new ASImage( see asimage_start() for more ).

ASImage *clone_asimage(ASImage *src, ASFlagType filter );
INPUTS
src - original ASImage.
filter - bitmask of channels to be copied from one image to another.
RETURN VALUE

the attributes. Only ASImage data will be carried over. Any attached alternative forms of
images (XImages, etc.) will not be copied. Any channel with unset bit in filter will not
be copied. Image name, ASImageManager and ref_count will not be copied - use
store_asimage() afterwards and make sure you use different name, to avoid clashes with
original image.
libAfterImage/asimage/destroy_asimage()
NAMEdestroy_asimage()
frees all the memory allocated for specified ASImage.
SYNOPSIS
void destroy_asimage( ASImage **im );
INPUTS
im - pointer to valid ASImage structure.

SYNOPSIS
Bool asimage_replace (ASImage *im, ASImage *from);
INPUTS
im - pointer to valid ASImage structure.
from - pointer to ASImage from which to take the data.
NOTES
this function updates image without reallocating structure itself, which means that all
pointers to it will still be valid. If that function succeeds - [from] ASImage will become
unusable and should be deallocated using free() call.
libAfterImage/asimage/set_asimage_vector()
NAMEset_asimage_vector()
This function replaces contents of the vector member of ASImage structure with new double
precision data.
SYNOPSIS
set_asimage_vector( ASImage *im, register double *vector );

unsigned int max_colors,
unsigned int dither,
int opaque_threshold );
INPUTS
im - pointer to valid ASImage structure.
max_colors
- maximum size of the colormap.

pointer to the ASVectorPalette structure that could be used for reverse conversion from
double values to ARGB32.
NOTES
alt.vector member of the supplied ASImage will be replaced and will contain WIDTHxHEIGHT
double values representing generated scientific data.
libAfterImage/asimage/create_image_manager()

... - NULL terminated list of up to 8 PATH strings to list locations at which images
could be found.
DESCRIPTION
Creates ASImageManager object in memory and initializes it with requested gamma value and
PATH list. This Object will contain a hash table referencing all the loaded images. When
such object is used while loading images from the file - gamma and PATH values will be
used, so that all the loaded and referenced images will have same parameters. File name
will be used as the image name, and if same file is attempted to be loaded again - instead
reference will be incremented, and previously loaded image will be retyrned. All the
images stored in ASImageManager's table will contain a back pointer to it, and they must
be deallocated only by calling release_asimage(). destroy_asimage() will refuse to
deallocate such an image.
libAfterImage/asimage/destroy_image_manager()
NAMEdestroy_image_manager()
destroy management obejct.
SYNOPSIS
void destroy_image_manager( struct ASImageManager *imman,
Bool reusable );
INPUTS
imman - pointer to ASImageManager object to be deallocated
reusable
- if True, then memory that holds object itself will not be deallocated. Useful
when object is created on stack.
DESCRIPTION
Destroys all the referenced images, PATH values and if reusable is False, also deallocates
object's memory.

src - ASImage which will donate its channel to dst;
offset_src
- scanline in source image to copy data from;
nlines - number of scanlines to be copied;
filter - specifies what channels should be copied.
DESCRIPTION
Makes copy of scanline data for continuos set of scanlines, affecting only those channels
marked in filter. NOTE Images must be of the same width.

FUNCTION
This are flags that define what should be printed by asimage_print_line():
VRB_LINE_SUMMARY - print only summary for each scanline
VRB_LINE_CONTENT - print summary and data for each scanline
VRB_CTRL_EXPLAIN - print summary, data and control codes for each
scanline

libAfterImage/asimage/asimage_print_line()
NAMEasimage_print_line()
SYNOPSIS
unsigned int asimage_print_line ( ASImage * im, ColorPart color,
unsigned int y,
unsigned long verbosity);
INPUTS
im - pointer to valid ASImage structure
color - color channel's number
y - image row starting with 0
verbosity
- verbosity level - any combination of flags is allowed
RETURN VALUE
amount of memory used by this particular channel of specified scanline.
DESCRIPTION
asimage_print_line() prints data stored in specified image scanline channel. That may
include simple summary of how much memory is used, actual visible data, and/or RLE control
codes. That helps one to see how effectively data is encoded.
Useful mostly for debugging purposes.
libAfterImage/asimage/get_asimage_channel_rects()
NAMEget_asimage_channel_rects()
- translate image into a list of rectangles.
SYNOPSIS
XRectangle*
get_asimage_channel_rects( ASImage *src, int channel,
unsigned int threshold,
unsigned int *rects_count_ret );
INPUTS
src - ASImage which will donate its channel to dst;
channel
- what source image channel to copy data from;
threshold
- threshold to compare channel values against;
rects_count_ret
- returns count of generated rectangles.
DESCRIPTION
This function will translate contents of selected channel (usually alpha) into a list of
rectangles, ecompasing regions with values above the threshold. This is useful to generate
shape of the window to be used with X Shape extension.
