Module container 

PNG / WebP / AVIF container helpers for heightmap RGB bytes.

Each container is gated on its own cargo feature so callers only pay the compile-time cost of what they actually use:

Feature	Provides	Backend
png	rgb_to_png	image/png
webp	rgb_to_webp	image/webp (lossless)
avif	rgb_to_avif	image/avif (ravif, encode-only)

decode_image auto-detects whichever formats are compiled in. WebP encoding is lossless — lossy WebP would need libwebp which is out of scope here.

For runtime-chosen container format use the ContainerFormat enum and the dispatching rgb_to_container; calling with a format whose feature wasn’t enabled returns ContainerError::Unsupported rather than failing to compile.

Structs

DecodedImage

A decoded image returned by decode_image.

ParseContainerFormatError

Error returned by ContainerFormat::from_str for an unrecognised name.

Enums

ContainerError

Error returned by rgb_to_container.

ContainerFormat

Identifies one of the supported image container formats for the runtime-dispatched rgb_to_container entry point.

Functions

decode_image

Decode container bytes to raw RGB. The format is auto-detected from the bytes’ header.

rgb_to_avif

Wrap raw width × height × 3 RGB bytes in an AVIF container.

rgb_to_container

Wrap raw width × height × 3 RGB bytes in the chosen container format.

rgb_to_png

Wrap raw width × height × 3 RGB bytes in a PNG container.

rgb_to_webp

Wrap raw width × height × 3 RGB bytes in a lossless WebP container.

Type Aliases

ImageError

Re-export of image::ImageError for callers that don’t want to pull in the image crate directly.
