OpenGL::Image(3pm)

NAME

OpenGL::Image - OpenGL wrapper to load images

DESCRIPTION

This module is an extensible wrapper to abstract imaging interfaces

By default, this module uses the OpenGL::Image::Targa module; support for other imaging libraries may be added by providing plug-in modules in the OpenGL/Image folder.

An OpenGL::Image::Magick module is also provided for use with PerlMagick. For best performance, ImageMagick 6.3.5 or newer should be installed.

SYNOPSIS

  ##########
  # Check for installed imaging engines
  use OpenGL::Image;
  # Get hashref of installed imaging engines
  # Keys are engine names; values are info hashes, including version,
  # priority (1 .. n, 1 is highest), module (Perl module name)
  # and description.
  # Priority can be set using Engines.lst (see INSTALL); otherwise
  # 'Targa' has top priority, and others are in unspecified order.
  my $engine_hashref = OpenGL::Image::GetEngines();
  # In list context, returns list of info hashes sorted by engine
  # priority; info hash does not include a priority value.
  my @sorted_engine_info = OpenGL::Image::GetEngines();
  # Check for a specific engine and optional version support
  # Returns an info hashref for the engine if available; otherwise undef.
  my $info_hashref = OpenGL::Image::HasEngine('Magick','6.3.5');
  ##########
  # Load texture - defaults to highest priority engine if none specified;
  # if Engines.lst is not specified, the highest priority is the Targa engine.
  my $tex = new OpenGL::Image(source=>'test.tga');
  # Get GL info
  my($ifmt,$fmt,$type) = $tex->Get('gl_internalformat','gl_format','gl_type');
  my($w,$h) = $tex->Get('width','height');
  # Test if power of 2
  if (!$tex->IsPowerOf2()) return;
  # Set texture  
  glTexImage2D_c(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, $ifmt, $w, $h, 0, $fmt, $type, $tex->Ptr());
  ##########
  # Modify GL frame using ImageMagick
  my $frame = new OpenGL::Image(engine=>'Magick',width=>$w,height=>$h);
  # Get default GL info
  my($def_fmt,$def_type) = $tex->Get('gl_format','gl_type');
  # Read frame pixels
  glReadPixels_c(0, 0, $width, $height, $def_fmt, $def_type, $frame->Ptr());
  # Sync native image buffer
  # Must use this prior to making native calls
  $frame->Sync();
  # Modify frame pixels
  $frame->Native->Blur();
  # Sync OGA
  # Must use this atfer all native calls are done
  $frame->SyncOGA();
  # Draw back to frame
  glDrawPixels_c(0, 0, $width, $height, $def_fmt, $def_type, $frame->Ptr());
  ##########
  # Save GL frame
  my $image = new OpenGL::Image(width=>$width,height=>$height);
  # Read frame pixels
  glReadPixels_c(0, 0, $width, $height, $def_fmt, $def_type, $image->Ptr());
  # Save file - automatically does a Sync before write
  $image->Save('MyImage.tga');
  ##########
  # Get/Set normalized pixels
  my($r,$g,$b,$a) = $img->GetPixel($x,$y);
  $img->SetPixel($x,$y, 1.0, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0);
  # Sync cache after done modifying pixels
  $frame->Sync();
  ##########
  # Methods defined in OpenGL::Image::Common:
  # Get native engine object
  my $obj = $img->Native;
  $obj->Quantize() if ($obj);
  # Alternately (Assuming the native engine supports Blur):
  $img->Native->Blur();
  # Test if image width is a power of 2
  if ($img->IsPowerOf2());
  # Test if all listed values are a power of 2
  if ($img->IsPowerOf2(@list));
  # Get largest power of 2 size within dimensions of image
  my $size = $img->GetPowerOf2();
  # Get one or more parameter values
  my @values = $img->Get(@params);
  # Return the image's cache as an OpenGL::Array object.
  # Note: OGA may change after a cache update
  my $oga = $img->GetArray();
  # Return a C pointer to the image's cache.
  # For use with OpenGL's "_c" APIs.
  # Note: pointer may change after a cache update
  $img->Ptr();
  ##########
  # Supported parameters:
  # version - version of the engine
  # source - source image, if defined
  # width - width of image in pixels
  # height - height of image in pixels
  # pixels - number of pixels
  # components - number of pixel components
  # size - bytes per component
  # length - cache size in bytes
  # endian - 1 if big endian; otherwise 0
  # alpha - 1: normal alpha channel, -1: inverted alpha channel; 0: none
  # flipped - 1 bit set if cache ordered top to bottom; others reserved
  # gl_internalformat - internal GL pixel format. eg: GL_RGBA8, GL_RGBA16
  # gl_format - GL pixel format. eg: GL_RGBA, GL_BGRA
  # gl_type - GL data type.  eg: GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT
  ##########
  # APIs and Methods defined in engine modules:
  # Get engine version
  my $ver = OpenGL::Image::ENGINE_MODULE::EngineVersion();
  # Sync the image cache after a write.
  # Used by some engines for paged caches; otherwise a NOP.
  $img->Sync();
  # Save the image to a PNG file (assuming the engine supports PNGs)
  $img->Save('MyImage.png');
  # Get image blob.
  my $blob = $img->GetBlob();
