Imlib2 library API

Function Documentation

EAPI void imlib_add_color_to_color_range ( int distance_away )

Add color to color range

Adds the current color to the current color range at a distance_away distance from the previous color in the range (if it's the first color in the range this is irrelevant).

Parameters

distance_away Distance from the previous color

EAPI void imlib_add_path_to_font_path ( const char * path )

Add font path

Adds the directory path to the end of the current list of directories to scan for fonts.

Parameters

path	A directory path

EAPI void imlib_apply_color_modifier ( void )

Apply color modifier to image

Uses the current color modifier mapping tables to modify the current image.

EAPI void imlib_apply_color_modifier_to_rectangle	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	width,
		int	height
	)

Apply color modifier to image part

Works the same way as imlib_apply_color_modifier() but only modifies a selected rectangle in the current image.

Parameters

x	The x coordinate of the left edge of the rectangle
y	The y coordinate of the top edge of the rectangle
width	The width of the rectangle
height	The height of the rectangle

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image	(	Imlib_Image	src_image,
		char	merge_alpha,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int	src_width,
		int	src_height,
		int	dst_x,
		int	dst_y,
		int	dst_width,
		int	dst_height
	)

Blend part of image onto image

Blends the source rectangle (src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height) from src_image onto the current image at the destination (dst_x, dst_y) location scaled to the width dst_width and height * dst_height. If merge_alpha is set to 1 it will also modify the destination image alpha channel, otherwise the destination alpha channel is left untouched.

Parameters

src_image	The source image
merge_alpha	Alpha flag
src_x	X coordinate of the source image
src_y	Y coordinate of the source image
src_width	Width of the source image
src_height	Height of the source image
dst_x	X coordinate of the destination image
dst_y	Y coordinate of the destination image
dst_width	Width of the destination image
dst_height	Height of the destination image

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image_at_angle	(	Imlib_Image	src_image,
		char	merge_alpha,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int	src_width,
		int	src_height,
		int	dst_x,
		int	dst_y,
		int	angle_x,
		int	angle_y
	)

Blend image onto image at angle

Works just like imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed() except you cannot skew an image (v_angle_x and v_angle_y are 0).

Parameters

src_image	The image source
merge_alpha	A char
src_x	The source x coordinate
src_y	The source y coordinate
src_width	The source width
src_height	The source height
dst_x	The destination x coordinate
dst_y	The destination y coordinate
angle_x	An angle
angle_y	An angle

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed	(	Imlib_Image	src_image,
		char	merge_alpha,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int	src_width,
		int	src_height,
		int	dst_x,
		int	dst_y,
		int	h_angle_x,
		int	h_angle_y,
		int	v_angle_x,
		int	v_angle_y
	)

Blend image onto image at angle, skewed

Blends the source rectangle (src_x, src_y, src_width, * src_height) from the src_image onto the current image at the destination (dst_x, dst_y) location. It will be rotated and scaled so that the upper right corner will be positioned h_angle_x pixels to the right (or left, if negative) and h_angle_y pixels down (from (dst_x, dst_y). If v_angle_x and v_angle_y are not 0, the image will also be skewed so that the lower left corner will be positioned v_angle_x pixels to the right and v_angle_y pixels down. The at_angle versions simply have the v_angle_x and v_angle_y set to 0 so the rotation doesn't get skewed, and the render_..._on_drawable ones seem obvious enough; they do the same on a drawable.

Example:

1 imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 0, 0, 100, 0, 0, 100);

will simply scale the image to be 100x100.

1 imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 0, 0, 0, 100, 100, 0);

will scale the image to be 100x100, and flip it diagonally.

1 imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 100, 0, 0, 100, -100, 0);

will scale the image and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.

1 imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 50, 0, 50, 50, -50, 50);

will rotate the image 45 degrees clockwise, and will scale it so its corners are at (50,0)-(100,50)-(50,100)-(0,50) i.e. it fits into the 100x100 square, so it's scaled down to 70.7% (sqrt(2)/2).

1 imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 50, 50, 100 * cos(a), 100 * sin(a), 0);

will rotate the image `a' degrees, with its upper left corner at (50,50).

Parameters

src_image	The source image
merge_alpha	A char
src_x	The source x coordinate
src_y	The source y coordinate
src_width	The source width
src_height	The source height
dst_x	The destination x coordinate
dst_y	The destination y coordinate
h_angle_x	An angle
h_angle_y	An angle
v_angle_x	An angle
v_angle_y	An angle

Parameters

direction The text direction

EAPI void imlib_context_set_display ( Display * display )

Set the X display to use for rendering of images to drawables

You do not need to set this if you do not intend to render an image to an X drawable. If you do you will need to set this. If you change displays just set this to the new display pointer. Do not use a Display pointer if you have closed that display already - also note that if you close a display connection and continue to render using Imlib2 without setting the display pointer to NULL or something new, crashes may occur.

Parameters

display The Display to use

EAPI void imlib_context_set_dither ( char dither )

Set dithering mode

Sets the dithering flag for rendering to a drawable or when pixmaps are produced. This affects the color image appearance. Dithering slows down rendering but produces considerably better results. This option has no effect for rendering in 24 bit and up, but in 16 bit and lower it will dither, producing smooth gradients and much better quality images. Setting dither to 1 enables dithering and 0 disables dithering.

Parameters

dither The dithering flag

EAPI void imlib_context_set_dither_mask ( char dither_mask )

Set mask dithering mode

When rendering to a mask or producing pixmap masks from images dither_mask selects if the mask is to be dithered or not. Passing in 1 for dither_mask means the mask pixmap will be dithered, 0 means it will not be dithered.

Parameters

Parameters

mask_alpha_threshold The mask alpha threshold

EAPI void imlib_context_set_operation ( Imlib_Operation operation )

Set drawing operation

When Imlib2 draws an image onto another or an image onto a drawable it is able to do more than just blend the result on using the given alpha channel of the image. It is also able to do saturating additive, subtractive and a combination of the both (called reshade) rendering. The default mode is IMLIB_OP_COPY. you can also set it to IMLIB_OP_ADD, IMLIB_OP_SUBTRACT or IMLIB_OP_RESHADE. IMLIB_OP_COPY performs basic alpha blending: DST = (SRC * A) + (DST * (1 - A)). IMLIB_OP_ADD does DST = DST + (SRC * A). IMLIB_OP_SUBTRACT does DST = DST - (SRC * A) IMLIB_OP_RESHADE does DST = DST + (((SRC - * 0.5) / 2) * A).

Parameters

operation The drawing operation

		char	need_to_grab_x,
		char	get_mask_from_shape
	)

Create image from drawable, scaled

Creates an image from the current drawable (optionally using the mask pixmap specified to determine alpha transparency) and scale the grabbed data first before converting to an actual image (to minimize reads from the frame buffer which can be slow). The source (src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height) rectangle will be grabbed, scaled to the destination dst_width and dst_height, then converted to an image. If need_to_grab_x is 1 the X Server s grabbed to avoid possible race conditions. Set to 1 unless the server is already grabbed. If get_mask_from_shape and the current drawable is a window its shape is used for determining the alpha channel.

EAPI uint32_t* imlib_image_get_data ( void )

Get a pointer to the image data for the current image

When you get this pointer it is assumed you are planning on writing to the data, thus once you do this the image can no longer be used for caching - in fact all images cached from this one will also be affected when you put the data back. If this matters it is suggested you clone the image first before playing with the image data. The image data is returned in the format of a uint32_t (32 bits) per pixel in a linear array ordered from the top left of the image to the bottom right going from left to right each line. Each pixel has the upper 8 bits as the alpha channel and the lower 8 bits are the blue channel - so a pixel's bits are ARGB (from most to least significant, 8 bits per channel). You must put the data back at some point.

Returns: A pointer to the image data

EAPI void imlib_render_pixmaps_for_whole_image	(	Pixmap *	pixmap_return,
		Pixmap *	mask_return
	)

Create pixmap/mask of the current image

The mask is generated if the image has an alpha value.

The pixmaps must be freed using imlib_free_pixmap_and_mask().

Parameters

pixmap_return	The returned pixmap
mask_return	The returned mask

EAPI void imlib_render_pixmaps_for_whole_image_at_size	(	Pixmap *	pixmap_return,
		Pixmap *	mask_return,

		int	height
	)

Create pixmap/mask of the current image at given size

Works just like imlib_render_pixmaps_for_whole_image(), but will scale the output result to the width width and height height specified. Scaling is done before depth conversion so pixels used for dithering don't grow large.

Parameters

pixmap_return	The returned pixmap
mask_return	The returned mask
width	Width of the pixmap
height	Height of the pixmap

EAPI void imlib_save_image_fd	(	int	fd,
		const char *	file
	)

Save image to file descriptor

Saves the current image in the format specified by the current image's format setting to the file given by fd. The file name file is used only to derive the file format if the image's format is not set.

fd will be closed after calling this function.

Parameters

fd	Image file descriptor

Parameters

file	The file name
error_return	The returned error

EAPI void imlib_save_image_with_error_return	(	const char *	file,

error_return	The returned error

Deprecated:: Use imlib_save_image_with_errno_return()

EAPI void imlib_set_cache_size ( int bytes )

Set the cache size

The size is in bytes. Setting the cache size to 0 effectively flushes the cache and keeps the cache size at 0 until set to another value. Whenever you set the cache size Imlib2 will flush as many old images and pixmap from the cache as needed until the current cache usage is less than or equal to the cache size.

Parameters

bytes Image cache max size

EAPI void imlib_set_color_modifier_tables	(	uint8_t *	red_table,
		uint8_t *	green_table,
		uint8_t *	blue_table,
		uint8_t *	alpha_table
	)

Set current color modifier tables

Explicitly copies the mapping tables from the table pointers passed into this function into those of the current color modifier. Tables are 256 entry arrays of uint8_t which are a mapping of that channel value to a new channel value. A normal mapping would be linear (v[0] = 0, v[10] = 10, v[50] = 50, v[200] = 200, v[255] = 255).

Parameters

red_table	A 256 element uint8_t array
green_table	A 256 element uint8_t array
blue_table	A 256 element uint8_t array
alpha_table	A 256 element uint8_t array

Set the maximum number of colors Imlib2 is allowed to allocate

The default is 256. This has no effect in depths greater than 8 bit.

Parameters

max	Maximum number of colors

EAPI void imlib_set_font_cache_size ( int bytes )

Set the font cache size

Whenever you set the font cache size Imlib2 will flush fonts from the cache until the memory used by fonts is less than or equal to the font cache size. Setting the size to 0 effectively frees all speculatively cached fonts.

Parameters

bytes The font cache size in bytes

EAPI void imlib_set_ximage_cache_count_max ( int count )

Set the maximum number of XImages to cache

Setting the cache size to 0 effectively flushes the cache and keeps the cached XImage count at 0 until set to another value.

Parameters

count XImage cache max count

EAPI void imlib_set_ximage_cache_size_max ( int bytes )

Set the XImage cache maximum size

Setting the cache size to 0 effectively flushes the cache and keeps the cache size at 0 until set to another value. Whenever you set the max size Imlib2 will flush as many old XImages from the cache as possible until the current XImage cache usage is less than or equal to the cache max size.

Parameters

bytes XImage cache max size in bytes
