Also, the logo is now stored as a BMP. Turnaround time on that thing is one click, we're nowhere near done reaping the benefits of indexed colour, etc.

The "bmp" library is a library for
|
|
the express purpose of reading and
|
|
writing Windows BMP files and other
|
|
Windows DIB headers.
|
|
|
|
It is written with portability,
|
|
memory-efficiency, and reusability
|
|
as it's primary goals.
|
|
|
|
With this in mind, it can be used as
|
|
the backend for an ICO/CUR handling
|
|
library, works with packed-DIB data,
|
|
only requires the first 0x36 bytes
|
|
of a .BMP to be present, and can be
|
|
used on KittenOS NEO, OpenOS, and
|
|
just about any place with a desktop
|
|
Lua interpreter available for use.
|
|
|
|
(That said, it's not 5.1-tested.)
|
|
|
|
That said, it does not handle all the
|
|
possible bitmap formats, restricting
|
|
itself to support of BI_RGB where
|
|
possible, and BI_BITFIELDS to a
|
|
limited extent.
|
|
|
|
Given this covers most bitmaps that
|
|
you are likely to generate, do not
|
|
underestimate the use of this.
|
|
|
|
The library has 2 fields:
|
|
headerMinSzBMP,
|
|
headerMinSzDIB: The minimum data you
|
|
must have available when calling
|
|
connect for a given format.
|
|
|
|
The library has 3 functions:
|
|
|
|
connect(get, set, cMode, packed):
|
|
"Connects" to a bitmap. A very real
|
|
implication of this is that the
|
|
data get/set accesses is where the
|
|
actual bitmap is, and this merely
|
|
provides a way to access it in a
|
|
useful form (as pixels).
|
|
Technically, all but 'get' are
|
|
optional, but I feel it necessary
|
|
to document them as if they are
|
|
implicitly left nil by those users
|
|
who omit them because of their
|
|
functionality.
|
|
Due to this section being a rather
|
|
long length, the paragraph
|
|
separation is per-argument here.
|
|
|
|
get is best described by:
|
|
function (a) return dt:byte(a) end
|
|
|
|
set, which is optional unless you
|
|
call any of the set* functions in
|
|
the resulting bitmap, has a longer
|
|
description:
|
|
function (a, v)
|
|
dt = dt:sub(1, a - 1) ..
|
|
string.char(v) ..
|
|
dt:sub(a + 1)
|
|
end
|
|
Notably, while these are the
|
|
canonical implementations of these
|
|
functions, they are by no means
|
|
the only implementations, and it
|
|
is the purpose of these callbacks
|
|
to allow choice in how you write
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
cMode exists for cursor and icon
|
|
handling. These images are split
|
|
via a very horrifying mechanism
|
|
into an AND mask, and a XOR mask.
|
|
The XOR mask typically contains
|
|
what could be called the actual
|
|
image - the AND mask then acts
|
|
as a sort of alpha mask, blacking
|
|
out the areas where the XOR mask
|
|
is then projected onto.
|
|
It can be one of three values.
|
|
It can be nil, in which case this
|
|
is an ordinary DIB, with no evil
|
|
nonsense applied to it -
|
|
It can be "colour", in which case
|
|
the XOR mask (the actual image in
|
|
most cases) is shown -
|
|
And it can be "mask", in which case
|
|
the AND mask is accessed instead.
|
|
(Notably, bpp, paletteSize, and
|
|
ignoresPalette changes to the
|
|
1bpp mask format in use here.)
|
|
|
|
packed exists for the use of those
|
|
bitmaps that don't have a BMP file
|
|
header, the usual "BM". In this
|
|
case, you can remove support for
|
|
gap1 but allow yourself to avoid
|
|
the BM header as a result.
|
|
If not nil, it is how much to
|
|
offset the indexes from 0-based
|
|
offsets into a .BMP file to the
|
|
final positions.
|
|
The following table is useful for
|
|
understanding this:
|
|
1: Standard 1-indexed BMP handling,
|
|
but with no gap1 support (!)
|
|
-13: Standard 1-indexed handling of
|
|
a packed DIB (no BMP header),
|
|
such as a BITMAP or ICON
|
|
resource (set cMode if ICON)
|
|
-9: Standard 1-indexed handling of
|
|
a CURSOR resource, which has
|
|
a 2-short hotspot header
|
|
|
|
prepareDIB(w, h, p, bpp, paletteSize
|
|
, topDown, cMode) -> hd, sz, dp:
|
|
(See prepareBMP if you want a .BMP
|
|
file, but this describes how to
|
|
use the arguments and returns.)
|
|
This prepares a packed DIB, and
|
|
returns three values:
|
|
1. The header. (The palette, in
|
|
the 4-byte-per-colour form,
|
|
will follow immediately.)
|
|
2. The buffer size, including the
|
|
header in 1. The bytes that
|
|
are not specified can be
|
|
initialized in any fashion,
|
|
as they are part of the colour
|
|
and later image data itself.
|
|
3. The pointer to the pixels for
|
|
BM creation.
|
|
|
|
w, h, p, and bpp are the usual -
|
|
width, height, planes, pixel depth
|
|
- but the paletteSize needs note.
|
|
If the BPP is <= 8, then the size
|
|
of the palette must not be 0.
|
|
This is to avoid unintentionally
|
|
triggering legacy features in the
|
|
BMP format.
|
|
|
|
topDown and cMode are essentially
|
|
booleans that can safely be nil,
|
|
where nil is interpreted as false.
|
|
|
|
topDown indicates that the image is
|
|
to be top-down rather than the
|
|
standard upsidedown form of a BMP.
|
|
This may look odd if streaming a
|
|
BMP, so the option, while rather
|
|
an odd one, has been included.
|
|
|
|
cMode indicates that this image is
|
|
intended for use in an ICON or
|
|
CURSOR resource of some form, and
|
|
should thus contain an AND mask.
|
|
|
|
prepareBMP(...):
|
|
This prepares a .BMP file. It has
|
|
the same arguments and returns as
|
|
prepareDIB, and indeed wraps it.
|
|
|
|
Bitmap objects, while not read-only,
|
|
do not particularly change if you
|
|
write to them.
|
|
|
|
Going out of bounds with a bitmap
|
|
object will have hilarious results.
|
|
|
|
...Don't do it.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, they have these fields:
|
|
|
|
width, height, planes: The usuals.
|
|
(NOTE: Due to lack of examples,
|
|
it is assumed that planes are a
|
|
dimension more major than height.
|
|
If this isn't the case, someone
|
|
do tell me, preferably with an
|
|
example and a way to open it that
|
|
does not involve this library, so
|
|
I can test and correct all of the
|
|
code involving them.)
|
|
bpp: Bits per pixel. This specifies
|
|
a limit on numbers passed to
|
|
and from the bitmap object,
|
|
of 1 << bpp (2 ^ bpp).
|
|
A number may not be equal to
|
|
or exceed this limit.
|
|
ignoresPalette: Used to indicate
|
|
the palette is worthless and does
|
|
not affect image contents in any
|
|
way at all. If one exists.
|
|
paletteCol: The amount of colours in
|
|
the palette. Multiply by 4 for a
|
|
byte count.
|
|
paletteAddress: Useful for caching,
|
|
the palette starts at this get/set
|
|
address.
|
|
dataAddress: Useful for caching,
|
|
the data starts at this get/set
|
|
address.
|
|
dataFull: The size of the data of
|
|
the image, according to the image.
|
|
dsSpan: This is a hint for the cache
|
|
and cannot be relied upon to be
|
|
correct, only >= 1:
|
|
Scanline length in bytes.
|
|
dsPlane: This is a hint for the
|
|
cache and cannot be relied upon to
|
|
be correct, only >= 1:
|
|
Plane length in bytes.
|
|
getPalette(i): Gets the XRGB value
|
|
of colour i as an integer.
|
|
Do not go out of range of I.
|
|
setPalette(i, v): Sets the XRGB
|
|
value of colour i as an integer.
|
|
Do not go out of range of I or V.
|
|
getPixel(x, y, p): Returns the pixel
|
|
value at X, Y, P. Do not go out of
|
|
the range of X, Y or P.
|
|
setPixel(x, y, p, v): Sets the pixel
|
|
value at X, Y, P to V. Do not go
|
|
out of the range of X, Y, P, or V.
|
|
|
|
...in other words, about as much
|
|
usability as a BufferedImage with
|
|
getGraphics and createGraphics taken
|
|
out of it for some crazy reason.
|
|
|
|
The primary use of this library is
|
|
because people like to use formats
|
|
they happen to have actually heard
|
|
of before, and everything but BMP is
|
|
too complicated for low-memory OSes
|
|
to stream from disk.
