Functions to load/save an IupImage from/to a file using the IM library. The function can load or save the formats: BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PNM, PCX, ICO and others. For more information about the IM library see http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/im.
To generate an application that uses this function, the program must be linked with the IM library and with the function library (im and iupim libraries). The "iupim.h" file must also be included in the source code.
To make the function available in Lua, use the initialization function in C, iupimlua_open, after calling iuplua_open. The iupluaim.h file must also be included in the source code. The program must be linked to the lua functions library (iupluaim library).
Ihandle* IupLoadImage(const char* file_name); [in C] iup.LoadImage(file_name: string) -> (elem: ihandle) [in Lua]
file_name: Name of the file to be loaded.
Returns: the identifier of the created image, or NULL if an error occurs. When failed a message box describing the error is displayed.
int IupSaveImage(Ihandle* ih, const char* file_name, const char* format); [in C] iup.SaveImage(ih: ihandle, file_name, format: string) -> (ret: boolean) [in Lua]
ih: handle of the IupImage.
file_name: Name of the file to be loaded.
format: format descriptor for IM. For ex: "BMP", "JPEG",
"GIF", "TIFF", "PNG", "PNM", "PCX", "ICO", etc.
Returns: zero if failed. When failed a message box describing the error is displayed.
imImage* IupGetNativeHandleImage(void* handle); [in C]
iup.GetNativeHandleImage(handle: userdata) -> (image: imImage) [in Lua]
handle: image native handle. In Win32 is a HANDLE of a DIB. In GTK is a GdkPixbuf*. In Motif is a Pixmap. Its memory is released after the imImage is created.
Returns: the imImage* handle. Usefull when pasting data from a IupClipboard.
You must include the "im_image.h" header before the "iupim.h" to enable these functions.
imImage* IupGetImageNativeHandle(imImage* image); [in C]
iup.GetImageNativeHandle(image: imImage) -> (handle: userdata) [in Lua]
image: the imImage* handle. Must be a bitmap image.
Returns: the image native handle. In Win32 is a HANDLE for a DIB. In GTK is a GdkPixbuf*. In Motif is a Pixmap. Usefull when copying data to a IupClipboard.
You must include the "im_image.h" header before the "iupim.h" to enable these functions.
