Crate pixelflut

rust-pixelflut, a pixelflut client and server library

A sync and async implementation of the Pixelflut protocol for Rust.

Usage

Import in rust project:

[dependencies]                                                                  
pixelflut = "0.2.0-alpha.2"

Feature flags

• image: Enable support for color types used in the image crate
• tokio-rt: Enable support for the async client/server

Performance

The async client archived >450MByte/s to localhost on an Apple m1. The server code needs improvement.

If you want to send data faster, spawn multiple clients or use the internal PixelBuffer if you want to send allways the same data.

Example

extern crate pixelflut;
extern crate tokio;
use pixelflut::async_tokio::PixelflutClient;
use std::net::SocketAddr;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let addr: SocketAddr = "127.0.0.1:1337".parse().unwrap();
    let mut pixelflut = PixelflutClient::connect(addr).await.unwrap();
    println!("{:?}", pixelflut.dimensions().await.unwrap());
    pixelflut.set(1, 2, (255, 0, 0)).await.unwrap();
    pixelflut.flush().await.unwrap();
}

Modules

async_tokiotokio-rt

The async Tokio implementation of pixelflut.

syncsync

The sync implementation of pixelflut.

Structs

Color

RGB color type with optional alpha channel

Coordinate

coordinate on a pixelflut grid

Pixel

Pixelflut pixel containing a coordinate and a color

PixelBuffer

Pixel buffer is a byte buffer that guarantees to contain valid pixelflut data. It is used as an internal buffer for the sync and async clients and can also be used for pre-format an array of pixels, as the PixelBuffer can direclty be send with a client.

PixelflutError

Pixelflut error type
