Interesting. So the examples are all too long?
That's weird but maybe not too bad.. What would happen if we were to truncate?
This may have previously worked incidentally.
while bytes_read < compressed_length && uncompressed.len() < max_uncompressed_length {
let (len, bytes) = decoder.decode_bytes(&compressed[bytes_read..])?;
uncompressed.extend_from_slice(bytes);Since the lzw library decodes symbols word-for-word it's not unlikely that we hit exactly the right length.
The new library decodes fixed size chunks
buffer.byte_len?
According to the docs: https://developer.gnome.org/gdk-pixbuf/unstable/gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#image-data
Image data in a pixbuf is stored in memory in uncompressed, packed format. Rows in the image are stored top to bottom, and in each row pixels are stored from left to right. There may be padding at the end of a row. The "rowstride" value of a pixbuf, as returned by gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride(), indicates the number of bytes between rows.
If it is possible to describe a GdkPixbuf with a SampleLayout then it is possible to copy the pixels out from the buffer
Hi, I got stuck a bit when trying to implement a combined transformation...
How do I get from a GenericImageView to an ImageBuffer (without any modification) without iterating over rows/cols and calling get_pixel / set_pixel? (That seems really inefficient to me)
Also, is there a good way to combine multiple transforms efficiently without copying each time?
For context, I'm implementing EXIF rotation. This means that depending on the input parameter, we'll do nothing, rotate, flip or rotate + flip.
Rotating by 0 and 180 degrees as well as flipping can be done in-place, so no copying would be necessary. The buffer could be modified in-place.
Rotating by 90 and 270 degrees however always requires a copy, because the image may not be square.
Right now the APIs seem to take &self and return a new ImageBuffer. Do you have a good way to solve this? We could use something like fn rotate(&mut self) -> RotationResult with enum RotationResult { Modified, Copied<ImageBuffer> }, but that seems very ugly from an API point of view.
image itself anways.I'm also fairly sure the
GenericImage-based interface is not at all optimized for this work. For example, as you've observed, it isn't efficient to iterate pixels individually but that's pretty much all you can do with the generic interface and what's done internally. Also the layout would—I guess—be more efficient (cache oblivious) if it were a recursive, space-filling curve of macroblocks of pixels instead of row-by-row or col-by-col but that requires an extra conversion of layouts and is somewhat specialized.There's a lot of room for improvement and specialization that's not in
image currently.
@HeroicKatora: thanks for the reply! sorry, I somehow missed it.
then I guess I'll do the implementation locally only for now. would be nice if multiple transformations could be combined in the future!
flat:: module? It's not possible to go between the buffers them without copying since each of them is an owning buffer, with their own allocations strategy. But you can certainly create a view on a GTK buffer which implements GenericImage.

hello! I tried loading a webp from memory and encountered an unsupport error: Err` value: Unsupported(UnsupportedError { format: Exact(WebP), kind: GenericFeature("ALPH") })
I assume image does not support alpha webp? Is this intentional? The supported file table says it does not only decode lossy/luma channel? Should I open an issue about this?
