NAME
astile - demonstrates image tiling/cropping and tinting libAfterImage/tutorials/ASTile
NAMEASTile
SYNOPSIS
Simple program based on libAfterImage to tile and tint image.
DESCRIPTION
All we want to do here is to get image filename, tint color and desired geometry from the
command line. We then load this image, and proceed on to tiling it based on parameters.
Tiling geometry specifies rectangular shape on limitless plane on which original image is
tiled. While we are at tiling the image we also tint it to specified color, or to some
random value derived from the current time in seconds elapsed since 1971. We then display
the result in simple window. After that we would want to wait, until user closes our
window.
In this tutorial we will only explain new steps, not described in previous tutorial. New
steps described in this tutorial are : ASTile.1. Parsing ARGB32 tinting color. ASTile.2.
Parsing geometry spec. ASTile.3. Tiling and tinting ASImage.

some other simple things.

libAfterImage/tutorials/ASTile.1 [3.1]
SYNOPSIS
Step 1. Color parsing.
DESCRIPTION
libAfterImage utilizes function provided by libAfterBase for color parsing. In case
libAfterBase is unavailable - libAfterImage includes its own copy of that function. This
function differs from standard XParseColor in a way that it allows for parsing of alpha
channel in addition to red, green and blue. It autodetects if value include alpha channel
or not, using the following logic: If number of hex digits in color spec is divisible by 4
and is not equal to 12 then first digits are treated as alpha channel. In case named
color is specified or now apha channel is specified alpha value of 0xFF will be used,
marking this color as solid.
EXAMPLE
if( parse_argb_color( argv[i+1], &tint_color ) == argv[i+1] )
show_warning( "unable to parse tint color - default used: #%8.8X",
tint_color );
NOTES
On success parse_argb_color returns pointer to the character immidiately following color
specification in original string. Therefore test for returned value to be equal to
original string will can be used to detect error.

SYNOPSIS
Step 2. Parsing the geometry.
DESCRIPTION
Geometry can be specified in WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y format. Accordingly we use standard X
function to parse it: XParseGeometry. Returned flags tell us what values has been
specified. We only have to fill the rest with some sensible defaults. Default x is
width/2, y is height/2, and default size is same as image's width.
EXAMPLE
geom_flags = XParseGeometry ( argv[i+1], &tile_x, &tile_y,
&tile_width, &tile_height );

libAfterImage/tutorials/ASTile.3 [3.3]
SYNOPSIS
Step 3. Actuall tiling of the image.
DESCRIPTION
Actuall tiling is quite simple - just call tile_asimage and it will generate new ASImage
containing tiled and tinted image. For the sake of example we set quality to TOP, but
normally GOOD quality is quite sufficient, and is a default. Again, compression is set to
0 since we do not intend to store image for long time. Even better we don't need to store
it at all - all we need is XImage, so we can transfer it to the server easily. That is why
to_xim argument is set to ASA_XImage. As the result obtained ASImage will not have any
data in its buffers, but it will have ximage member set to point to valid XImage.
Subsequently we enjoy that convinience, by setting use_cached to True in call to
asimage2pixmap(). That ought to save us a lot of processing.
Tinting works in both directions - it can increase intensity of the color or decrease it.
If any particular channel of the tint_color is greater then 127 then intensity is
increased, otherwise its decreased.
EXAMPLE
tinted_im = tile_asimage( asv, im, tile_x, tile_y,
tile_width, tile_height,
tint_color,
ASA_XImage, 0, ASIMAGE_QUALITY_TOP ); destroy_asimage( &im );
