Imager::Preprocess(3pm)
NAME
Imager::Preprocess - simple preprocessor for handling multiple sample
sizes
SYNOPSIS
/* in the source: */ #code condition true to work with 8-bit samples ... code using preprocessor types/values ... #/code perl -MImager -epreprocess foo.im foo.c
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple preprocessor that aims to reduce duplication of source
code when implementing an algorithm both for 8-bit samples and double
samples in Imager.
Imager's "Makefile.PL" currently scans the MANIFEST for .im files and
adds Makefile files to convert these to .c files.
- The beginning of a sample-independent section of code is preceded by:
- #code expression
- where expression should return true if processing should be done at 8-bits/sample.
- You can also use a #code block around a function definition to produce 8-bit and double sample versions of a function. In this case #code has no expression and you will need to use IM_SUFFIX() to produce different function names.
- The end of a sample-independent section of code is terminated by:
#/code- #code sections cannot be nested.
- #/code without a starting #code is an error.
- The following types and values are defined in a #code section:
- o IM_GPIX("im", "x", "y", &col)
- o IM_GLIN("im", "l", "r", "y", "colors")
- o IM_PPIX("im", "x", "y", &col)
- o IM_PLIN("im", "x", "y", "colors")
- o IM_GSAMP("im", "l", "r", "y", "samples", "chans", "chan_count")
These correspond to the appropriate image function, eg. IM_GPIX() becomes i_gpix() or i_gpixf() as appropriate.- o IM_ADAPT_COLORS("dest_channels", "src_channels", "colors", "count")
Call i_adapt_colors() or i_adapt_fcolors().- o IM_FILL_COMBINE("fill") - retrieve the combine function from a fill
- object.
- o IM_FILL_FILLER("fill") - retrieve the fill_with_* function from a
- fill object.
- o IM_SAMPLE_MAX - maximum value for a sample
- o IM_SAMPLE_MAX2 - maximum value for a sample, squared
- o IM_SAMPLE_T - type of a sample (i_sample_t or i_fsample_t)
- o IM_COLOR - color type, either i_color or i_fcolor.
- o IM_WORK_T - working sample type, either int or double.
- o IM_Sf - format string for the sample type, "%d" or "%f".
- o IM_Wf - format string for the work type, "%d" or "%f".
- o IM_SUFFIX(identifier) - adds _8 or _double onto the end of
- identifier.
- o IM_EIGHT_BIT - this is a macro defined only in 8-bit/sample code.
- Other types, functions and values may be added in the future.
