Crate rgb

Basic struct for RGB and RGBA pixels. Packed, with red first, alpha last.

This crate is intended to be the lowest common denominator for sharing RGB/RGBA bitmaps between other crates.

The crate includes convenience functions for converting between the struct and bytes, and overloaded operators that work on all channels at once.

This crate intentionally doesn't implement color management (due to complexity of the problem), but the structs can be parametrized to implement this if necessary. Other colorspaces are out of scope.

let pixel = RGB8 {r:0, g:100, b:255};

let pixel_rgba = pixel.alpha(255);
let pixel = pixel_rgba.rgb();

let pixels = vec![pixel; 100];
let bytes = pixels.as_bytes();

let half_bright = pixel.map(|channel| channel / 2);
let doubled = half_bright * 2;

Modules

Structs

RGB	The RGB pixel
RGBA	The RGBA pixel

Traits

AsPixels	Casts a slice of bytes into a slice of pixels, e.g. [u8] to [RGB8].
ComponentBytes	Casting a slice of RGB/A values to a slice of u8
ComponentMap	Applying operation to every component
ComponentSlice	Casting the struct to slices of its components
FromSlice	Cast a slice of component values (bytes) as a slice of RGB/RGBA pixels

Type Definitions

RGB8	8-bit RGB
RGB16	16-bit RGB in machine's native endian
RGBA8	8-bit RGBA, alpha is last. 0 = transparent, 255 = opaque.
RGBA16	16-bit RGB in machine's native endian. 0 = transparent, 65535 = opaque.
