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.

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 );

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 );
