NAME

       lqr_carver_new, lqr_carver_new_ext - the LqrCarver object constructors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <lqr.h>

       LqrCarver* lqr_carver_new(guchar* buffer, gint width, gint height, gint channels);

       LqrCarver* lqr_carver_new_ext(void* buffer, gint width, gint height, gint channels,
                                     LqrColDepth colour_depth);

DESCRIPTION

       The functions lqr_carver_new and lqr_carver_new_ext create a new LqrCarver object from an image of size
       width * height with channels colour channels.

       The image must be stored in buffer as a plain array of unsigned chars (for lqr_carver_new) or the
       appropriate type cast to void (for lqr_carver_new_ext), ordered by row, then by column, then by colour
       channel.

       In the extended constructor lqr_carver_new_ext, the additional parameter colour_depth is required to
       specify the colour depth of the buffer (see LqrColDepth(3) for more information).

       After calling the function, the buffer will be owned by the LqrCarver object and must not be accessed any
       more, unless you subsequently call the lqr_carver_set_preserve_input_image(3) function.

       The image type is et automatically from the value of channels according to this table:

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is the address of the newly created LqrCarver object, or NULL in case of failure
       (insufficient memory).
