The module \code{jpeg} provides access to the jpeg compressor and
|
|
|
|
|
decompressor written by the Independent JPEG Group. JPEG is a (draft?)\
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
standard for compressing pictures. For details on jpeg or the
|
1994-08-08 12:30:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Independent JPEG Group software refer to the JPEG standard or the
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
documentation provided with the software.

The \code{jpeg} module defines these functions:

\begin{funcdesc}{compress}{data\, w\, h\, b}
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Treat data as a pixmap of width \var{w} and height \var{h}, with \var{b} bytes per
|
1994-08-08 12:30:22 +00:00
|
|
|
pixel. The data is in SGI GL order, so the first pixel is in the
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
lower-left corner. This means that \code{lrectread} return data can
|
1995-04-10 11:34:00 +00:00
|
|
|
immediately be passed to compress. Currently only 1 byte and 4 byte
|
1994-08-08 12:30:22 +00:00
|
|
|
pixels are allowed, the former being treated as greyscale and the
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
latter as RGB color. Compress returns a string that contains the
|
|
|
|
|
compressed picture, in JFIF format.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{decompress}{data}
|
|
|
|
|
Data is a string containing a picture in JFIF format. It returns a
|
|
|
|
|
tuple
|
|
|
|
|
\code{(\var{data}, \var{width}, \var{height}, \var{bytesperpixel})}.
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Again, the data is suitable to pass to \code{lrectwrite}.
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setoption}{name\, value}
|
|
|
|
|
Set various options. Subsequent compress and decompress calls
|
|
|
|
|
will use these options. The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
\item[\code{'forcegray' }]
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Force output to be grayscale, even if input is RGB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
\item[\code{'quality' }]
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Set the quality of the compressed image to a
|
|
|
|
|
value between \code{0} and \code{100} (default is \code{75}). Compress only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
\item[\code{'optimize' }]
|
1994-08-08 12:30:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Perform Huffman table optimization. Takes longer, but results in
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
smaller compressed image. Compress only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1995-03-13 10:03:32 +00:00
|
|
|
\item[\code{'smooth' }]
|
1994-01-02 01:22:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Perform inter-block smoothing on uncompressed image. Only useful for
|
|
|
|
|
low-quality images. Decompress only.
|
|
|
|
|
\end{description}

Compress and uncompress raise the error \code{jpeg.error} in case of errors.
