libpgm

libpgm - functions to support portable graymap programs

#include <pgm.h>
cc ... libpgm.a libpbm.a

TYPES AND CONSTANTS

typedef ... gray;
#define PGM_MAXMAXVAL ...
extern gray pgm_pbmmaxval;

Each gray should contain only the values between 0 and PGM_MAXMAXVAL. pgm_pbmmaxval is the maxval used when a PGM program reads a PBM file. Normally it is 1; however, for some programs, a larger value gives better results.

#define PGM_FORMAT ...
#define RPGM_FORMAT ...
#define PGM_TYPE PGM_FORMAT
int PGM_FORMAT_TYPE( int format )

For distinguishing different file formats and types.

INITIALIZATION

void pgm_init( int* argcP, char* argv[] )

All PGM programs must call this routine.

MEMORY MANAGEMENT

gray** pgm_allocarray( int cols, int rows )

Allocate an array of grays.

gray* pgm_allocrow( int cols )

Allocate a row of the given number of grays.

void pgm_freearray( gray** grays, int rows )

Free the array allocated with pgm_allocarray() containing the given number of rows.

void pgm_freerow( gray* grayrow )

Free a row of grays.

READING FILES

void pgm_readpgminit( FILE* fp, int* colsP, int* rowsP, gray* maxvalP, int* formatP )

Read the header from a PGM file, filling in the rows, cols, maxval and format variables.

void pgm_readpgmrow( FILE* fp, gray* grayrow, int cols, gray maxval, int format )

Read a row of grays into the grayrow array. Format, cols, and maxval were filled in by pgm_readpgminit().

gray** pgm_readpgm( FILE* fp, int* colsP, int* rowsP, gray* maxvalP )

Read an entire graymap file into memory, returning the allocated array and filling in the rows, cols and maxval variables. This function combines pgm_readpgminit(), pgm_allocarray() and pgm_readpgmrow().

WRITING FILES

void pgm_writepgminit( FILE* fp, int cols, int rows, gray maxval, int forceplain )

Write the header for a portable graymap file. The forceplain flag forces a plain-format file to be written, as opposed to a raw-format one.

void pgm_writepgmrow( FILE* fp, gray* grayrow, int cols, gray maxval, int forceplain )

Write a row from a portable graymap.

void pgm_writepgm( FILE* fp, gray** grays, int cols, int rows, gray maxval, int forceplain )

Write the header and all data for a portable graymap. This function combines pgm_writepgminit() and pgm_writepgmrow().
