IMAGEINFO


Retrieves information about an image

Syntax:
Usage:
result = Imageinfo( image [, [width] [, [height] [, [bypp] [, [pitch] [, [pixdata] [, size]]]]]] )

Parameters:
image
The address of the image.
width
Stores the width of the image, in pixels.
height
Stores the height of the image, in pixels.
bypp
Stores the bytes per pixel of the image - i.e. the size of a single pixel, in bytes.
pitch
Stores the pitch of the image - i.e. the size of each scanline (row), in bytes. Note that this may be more than just width * bypp, because the scanlines may be padded to allow them to be aligned better in memory.
pixdata
Stores the address of the start of the first scanline of the image.
size
Stores the size of the image in memory, in bytes.

Return Value:
If image doesn't point to a valid image, one (1) is returned. Otherwise, width, height, bypp, pitch, pixdata and size are assigned appropriate values, and zero (0) is returned.

Description:
ImageInfo provides various information about an image, such as its dimensions and color depth, but also provides you with the information you need to directly access all the pixel data in the pixel buffer.
It can also provide the size of the image in memory, which is useful for allocating memory to copy the existing image, or to write the image to a file.

Examples:
'' pixelptr(): use imageinfo() to find the pointer to a pixel in the image
'' returns null on error or x,y out of bounds
Function pixelptr(ByVal img As Any Ptr, ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer) As Any Ptr

    Dim As Integer w, h, bypp, pitch
    Dim As Any Ptr pixdata
    Dim As Integer success
   
    success = (imageinfo(img, w, h, bypp, pitch, pixdata) = 0)
   
    If success Then
        If x < 0 Or x >= w Then Return 0
        If y < 0 Or y >= h Then Return 0
        Return pixdata + y * pitch + x * bypp
    Else
        Return 0
    End If
   
End Function

'' usage example:

'' 320*200 graphics screen, 8 bits per pixel
ScreenRes 320, 200, 8

Dim As Any Ptr ip '' image pointer

Dim As Byte Ptr pp '' pixel pointer (use byte for 8 bits per pixel)

ip = ImageCreate(32, 32) '' create an image (32*32, 8 bits per pixel)

If ip <> 0 Then

    '' draw a pattern on the image
    For y As Integer = 0 To 31

        For x As Integer = y - 5 To y + 5 Step 5

            '' find the pointer to pixel at x,y position
            '' note: this is inefficient to do for every pixel!
            pp = pixelptr(ip, x, y)

            '' if success, plot a value at the pixel
            If (pp <> 0) Then *pp = 15

        Next x

    Next y

    '' put the image and draw a border around it
    Put (10, 10), ip, PSet
    Line (9, 9)-Step(33, 33), 4, b

    '' destroy the image to reclaim memory
    ImageDestroy ip

Else
    Print "Error creating image!"
End If

Sleep


'' Create 32-bit graphics screen and image.
ScreenRes 320, 200, 32
Dim image As Any Ptr = ImageCreate( 64, 64 )

Dim pitch As Integer
Dim pixels As Any Ptr

'' Get enough information to iterate through the pixel data.
If 0 <> imageinfo( image, ,,, pitch, pixels ) Then
    Print "unable to retrieve image information."
    Sleep
    End
End If

'' Draw a pattern on the image by directly manipulating pixel memory.
For y As Integer = 0 To 63
    Dim row As UInteger Ptr = pixels + y * pitch
   
    For x As Integer = 0 To 63
        row[x] = RGB(x * 4, y * 4, (x Xor y) * 4)
    Next x
Next y

'' Draw the image onto the screen.
Put (10, 10), image

ImageDestroy( image )

Sleep
