It returns a +.I void * +identifier needed to manipulate this image later. It only needs +the size of the image to be created, using the +.I width +and +.I height +parameters, and the +.I mlx_ptr +connection identifier (see the +.B mlx +manual). + +The user can draw inside the image (see below), and +can dump the image inside a specified window at any time to +display it on the screen. This is done using +.B mlx_put_image_to_window +(). Three identifiers are needed here, for the connection to the +display, the window to use, and the image (respectively +.I mlx_ptr +, +.I win_ptr +and +.I img_ptr +). The ( +.I x +, +.I y +) coordinates define where the image should be placed in the window. + +.B mlx_get_data_addr +() returns information about the created image, allowing a user +to modify it later. The +.I img_ptr +parameter specifies the image to use. The three next parameters should +be the addresses of three different valid integers. +.I bits_per_pixel +will be filled with the number of bits needed to represent a pixel color +(also called the depth of the image). +.I size_line +is the number of bytes used to store one line of the image in memory. +This information is needed to move from one line to another in the image. +.I endian +tells you wether the pixel color in the image needs to be stored in +little endian ( +.I endian +== 0), or big endian ( +.I endian +== 1). + +.B mlx_get_data_addr +returns a +.I char * +address that represents the begining of the memory area where the image +is stored. From this adress, the first +.I bits_per_pixel +bits represent the color of the first pixel in the first line of +the image. The second group of +.I bits_per_pixel +bits represent the second pixel of the first line, and so on. +Add +.I size_line +to the adress to get the begining of the second line. You can reach any +pixels of the image that way. + +.B mlx_destroy_image +destroys the given image ( +.I img_ptr +). + +.SH STORING COLOR INSIDE IMAGES + +Depending on the display, the number of bits used to store a pixel color +can change. The user usually represents a color in RGB mode, using +one byte for each component (see +.B mlx_pixel_put +manual). This must be translated to fit the +.I bits_per_pixel +requirement of the image, and make the color understandable to the X-Server. +That is the purpose of the +.B mlx_get_color_value +() function. It takes a standard RGB +.I color +parameter, and returns an +.I unsigned int +value. +The +.I bits_per_pixel +least significant bits of this value can be stored in the image. + +Keep in mind that the least significant bits position depends on the local +computer's endian. If the endian of the image (in fact the endian of +the X-Server's computer) differs from the local endian, then the value should +be transformed before being used. + +.SH XPM IMAGES + +The +.B mlx_xpm_to_image +() and +.B mlx_xpm_file_to_image +() functions will create a new image the same way. +They will fill it using the specified +.I xpm_data +or +.I filename +, depending on which function is used. +Note that MiniLibX does not use the standard +Xpm library to deal with xpm images. You may not be able to +read all types of xpm images. It however handles transparency. + +.SH RETURN VALUES +The three functions that create images, +.B mlx_new_image() +, +.B mlx_xpm_to_image() +and +.B mlx_xpm_file_to_image() +, will return NULL if an error occurs. Otherwise they return a non-null pointer +as an image identifier. + + +.SH SEE ALSO +mlx(3), mlx_new_window(3), mlx_pixel_put(3), mlx_loop(3) + +.SH AUTHOR +Copyright ol@ - 2002-2014 - Olivier Crouzet |
