Struct Image 

pub struct Image { /* private fields */ }

A lazily evaluated image pipeline.

Cheap to clone: clones share graph nodes rather than pixels. Chaining builds graph structure and executes nothing (SPEC §Guarantees 3).

Implementations

impl Image

pub fn from_raw(descriptor: ImageDescriptor, bytes: Vec<u8>) -> Result<Self>

Build an image from raw pixels already in memory.

bytes must be exactly the packed byte length of descriptor.

Errors

Returns PixelsError::InvalidArgument if bytes is not exactly the packed length descriptor implies.

pub fn from_raw_stream( layout: RawFormat, source: impl Source + Debug + 'static, ) -> Result<Self>

Build an image by decoding a raw pixel stream.

The header parse is trivial for raw — the layout is the header — so this reads no bytes from source. Pixels are pulled at the terminal.

Errors

Returns PixelsError::InvalidArgument if the layout is not representable on this platform.

pub fn open(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Self>

Open an image file, identifying its format from its contents, with default OpenOptions — so it is turned upright.

The path’s extension is ignored. Detection is by magic bytes only (SPEC §Formats), because a name is an attacker-controlled hint while the bytes are a fact.

Errors

Returns PixelsError::Io if the file cannot be opened, PixelsError::Unsupported if no built-in codec recognises it, and PixelsError::Malformed if the header is invalid for the format its magic bytes claim.

pub fn open_with(path: impl AsRef<Path>, options: OpenOptions) -> Result<Self>

Open an image file with explicit OpenOptions.

Errors

As Image::open.

pub fn from_stream(source: impl Source + Debug + 'static) -> Result<Self>

Build an image from a byte stream, identifying its format from the leading bytes.

Sniffing reads only the longest magic prefix any known codec needs, and replays it to the decoder rather than seeking — a Source is forward-only (ADR-0005), so a pipe or socket works here exactly as a file does. A stream shorter than that prefix is not an error at this stage: it simply matches nothing.

Errors

Returns PixelsError::Unsupported if no built-in codec recognises the stream, PixelsError::Io on read failure, or PixelsError::Malformed if the header is invalid for the format its magic bytes claim.

pub fn from_stream_with( source: impl Source + Debug + 'static, options: OpenOptions, ) -> Result<Self>

Build an image from a byte stream with explicit OpenOptions.

Errors

As Image::from_stream.

pub fn from_decoder(decoder: Box<dyn Decoder>, format: Format) -> Self

Build an image from any decoder whose header has already been parsed.

This is the extension point for codecs living outside this crate. Pixels arrive as stored: Decoder::orientation is not applied here, so pass it to Image::orient to turn the result upright.

pub fn from_producer(producer: Arc<dyn Producer>, format: Format) -> Self

Build an image from any pixel producer.

pub fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata>

Header-only facts about this image: dimensions, format, pixel format.

Free — descriptors are resolved as the graph is built, so this decodes nothing (SPEC §Guarantees 3).

Errors

Returns the first error captured while building the pipeline, if any.

pub fn descriptor(&self) -> Result<ImageDescriptor>

The shape of this image at this point in the pipeline.

Errors

Returns the first error captured while building the pipeline, if any.

pub fn crop(self, x: u32, y: u32, width: u32, height: u32) -> Self

Extract the rectangular window at (x, y) of size width × height.

A window outside the image is an error, surfaced at the terminal.

pub fn flip(self) -> Self

Mirror vertically: the top row becomes the bottom row.

pub fn flop(self) -> Self

Mirror horizontally: the left column becomes the right column.

pub fn resize(self, width: u32, height: u32) -> Self

Resample to width by height with the default filter (Lanczos3).

pub fn resize_with( self, width: u32, height: u32, options: ResizeOptions, ) -> Self

Resample to width by height with explicit options.

pub fn thumbnail(self, width: u32, height: u32) -> Self

Scale to fit inside width by height, preserving aspect ratio.

pub fn orient(self, orientation: Orientation) -> Self

Apply orientation: the stored image becomes the upright one.

Image::open and Image::from_stream already do this with the orientation the file declares; this is for pixels opened with auto_orient off or through Image::from_decoder. It is a quarter turn and a mirror at most, and both rescale, so an oriented JPEG keeps its shrink-on-load fast path.

pub fn rotate(self, degrees: i32) -> Self

Rotate by degrees, which must be a multiple of 90.

pub fn modulate(self, options: Modulate) -> Self

Adjust brightness, saturation and hue.

pub fn convolve(self, kernel: Kernel) -> Self

Convolve with kernel.

pub fn blur(self, sigma: f32) -> Self

Blur with a Gaussian of the given sigma.

pub fn sharpen(self, amount: f32) -> Self

Sharpen by amount, a 3x3 unsharp-style kernel.

pub fn extract_channel(self, index: usize) -> Self

Extract one channel as a greyscale image.

pub fn extract_channel_named(self, channel: Channel) -> Self

Extract a channel by name (sharp’s extractChannel('red') and so on).

Alpha is the last channel of an image that has one. A greyscale image has no green or blue, and asking for them is an error, surfaced at the terminal like any other.

pub fn negate(self, alpha: bool) -> Self

Invert colours, and alpha too when alpha is set (sharp’s negate, whose default is to invert alpha).

pub fn gamma(self, exponent: f32) -> Self

Gamma: each colour channel becomes value^(1 / exponent) (libvips’ definition); above 1 brightens.

sharp’s gamma(g, gOut) is gamma(1.0 / g) before a resize and gamma(gOut) after it.

pub fn linear(self, a: f32, b: f32) -> Self

value * a + b on every colour channel (sharp’s linear), with b in 8-bit units at any depth. Alpha is untouched.

pub fn linear_per_channel(self, a: [f32; 3], b: [f32; 3]) -> Self

Image::linear with a separate a and b for red, green and blue.

pub fn threshold(self, level: u8, greyscale: bool) -> Self

Two levels (sharp’s threshold): at or above level (8-bit units; sharp’s default is 128) becomes full, below becomes zero. With greyscale, sharp’s default, luma is thresholded into every colour channel; without, each channel on its own.

pub fn tint(self, red: u8, green: u8, blue: u8) -> Self

Tint towards a colour, keeping each pixel’s luma (sharp’s tint). A greyscale image becomes colour.

pub fn greyscale(self) -> Self

Greyscale by BT.601 luma (sharp’s greyscale). As in sharp, the channel count is kept: RGB becomes three equal channels, and alpha is untouched. Use Image::to_pixel_format for a one-channel image.

pub fn recomb(self, matrix: [[f32; 3]; 3]) -> Self

Mix red, green and blue through a 3x3 matrix (sharp’s recomb): out[i] = sum(matrix[i][j] * in[j]). Alpha is untouched.

pub fn recomb_rgba(self, matrix: [[f32; 4]; 4]) -> Self

Image::recomb with a 4x4 matrix that mixes alpha too; an image without alpha gains an opaque one first.

pub fn ensure_alpha(self, level: f32) -> Self

Add an alpha channel at level, 0 transparent to 1 opaque, if there is none (sharp’s ensureAlpha, default 1). An image with alpha is unchanged.

pub fn remove_alpha(self) -> Self

Drop the alpha channel without compositing (sharp’s removeAlpha). Use Image::flatten to composite onto a colour instead. An image without alpha is unchanged.

pub fn flatten(self, red: u8, green: u8, blue: u8) -> Self

Composite this image against an opaque background, discarding alpha.

pub fn composite(self, overlay: Self, x: i64, y: i64) -> Self

Draw overlay over this image at (x, y).

This is the join point for two branches of a graph: both pipelines stay lazy, and neither is evaluated until a terminal pulls on the result.

pub fn composite_with(self, overlay: Self, x: i64, y: i64, blend: Blend) -> Self

Draw overlay over this image with an explicit blend mode.

pub fn animation(&self) -> Option<&Animation>

The source file’s animation, if it has more than one frame.

The pipeline processes the first frame, so this describes what the file holds rather than what will be written: frame count, loop count and per-frame durations, for a caller to decide whether a still is what it wants (see OpenOptions::animated).

pub const fn pages(&self) -> u32

How many pages the source document holds, at least 1.

More than one only for a multi-page TIFF. The pipeline processes the page it was opened on, the first unless OpenOptions::page chose another, so this says what else the file holds. Counting reads no pixels.

pub fn icc_profile(&self) -> Option<&[u8]>

The ICC profile this image’s pixels are in, if it is not sRGB.

A file’s embedded profile, unless the pixels were converted to sRGB on open (see OpenOptions). It is written into the output where the format has a place for one, so colours survive the round trip.

pub fn to_srgb(self) -> Self

Convert the pixels from their ICC profile’s colour space to sRGB, and drop the profile.

Image::open already does this unless told not to (OpenOptions::to_srgb). Matrix/TRC RGB and grey profiles convert, relative colorimetric with out-of-gamut colours clipped, as lcms2 does; a profile that is sRGB in all but name is just dropped. Any other profile (LUT-based, CMYK, one that does not match the pixels) is kept, unconverted, so the output still carries it.

pub fn to_pixel_format(self, pixel: PixelFormat) -> Self

Convert to pixel: depth (8-bit, 16-bit, float) and layout (grey, grey with alpha, RGB, RGBA). Grey widens to RGB by repetition and RGB narrows to grey by BT.601 luma; alpha is added opaque or dropped (use Image::flatten to composite against a colour instead).

Outputs need not ask for this: Image::output narrows to what the format holds by itself.

pub fn with_icc_profile(self, profile: Option<Vec<u8>>) -> Self

Declare the ICC profile the pixels are in, or with None drop it and call them sRGB. Only the label changes, never a pixel.

pub fn apply(self, op: Arc<dyn Op>) -> Self

Chain an arbitrary op onto this pipeline.

The escape hatch for ops defined outside this crate. Errors are deferred to the terminal, like every other chaining method.

pub fn output(self, format: Format, options: EncodeOptions) -> Output

Choose the encoder and options for this pipeline’s output.

This is the single encode terminal, with format as data (ADR-0006): requesting a format that is not yet implemented is a catchable PixelsError::Unsupported, not a compile error.
