Detailed Description

TurboJPEG API.

This API provides an interface for generating, decoding, and transforming planar YUV and JPEG images in memory.

YUV Image Format Notes

Technically, the JPEG format uses the YCbCr colorspace (which is technically not a colorspace but a color transform), but per the convention of the digital video community, the TurboJPEG API uses "YUV" to refer to an image format consisting of Y, Cb, and Cr image planes.

Each plane is simply a 2D array of bytes, each byte representing the value of one of the components (Y, Cb, or Cr) at a particular location in the image. The width and height of each plane are determined by the image width, height, and level of chrominance subsampling. The luminance plane width is the image width padded to the nearest multiple of the horizontal subsampling factor (2 in the case of 4:2:0 and 4:2:2, 4 in the case of 4:1:1, 1 in the case of 4:4:4 or grayscale.) Similarly, the luminance plane height is the image height padded to the nearest multiple of the vertical subsampling factor (2 in the case of 4:2:0 or 4:4:0, 1 in the case of 4:4:4 or grayscale.) This is irrespective of any additional padding that may be specified as an argument to the various YUV functions. The chrominance plane width is equal to the luminance plane width divided by the horizontal subsampling factor, and the chrominance plane height is equal to the luminance plane height divided by the vertical subsampling factor.

For example, if the source image is 35 x 35 pixels and 4:2:2 subsampling is used, then the luminance plane would be 36 x 35 bytes, and each of the chrominance planes would be 18 x 35 bytes. If you specify a line padding of 4 bytes on top of this, then the luminance plane would be 36 x 35 bytes, and each of the chrominance planes would be 20 x 35 bytes.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define TJ_NUMCS

The number of JPEG colorspaces.

#define TJ_NUMERR

The number of error codes.

#define TJ_NUMPF

The number of pixel formats.

#define TJ_NUMSAMP

The number of chrominance subsampling options.

#define TJ_NUMXOP

The number of transform operations.

#define TJFLAG_ACCURATEDCT

Use the most accurate DCT/IDCT algorithm available in the underlying codec.

The default if this flag is not specified is implementation-specific. For example, the implementation of TurboJPEG for libjpeg[-turbo] uses the fast algorithm by default when compressing, because this has been shown to have only a very slight effect on accuracy, but it uses the accurate algorithm when decompressing, because this has been shown to have a larger effect.

#define TJFLAG_BOTTOMUP

The uncompressed source/destination image is stored in bottom-up (Windows, OpenGL) order, not top-down (X11) order.

#define TJFLAG_FASTDCT

Use the fastest DCT/IDCT algorithm available in the underlying codec.

The default if this flag is not specified is implementation-specific. For example, the implementation of TurboJPEG for libjpeg[-turbo] uses the fast algorithm by default when compressing, because this has been shown to have only a very slight effect on accuracy, but it uses the accurate algorithm when decompressing, because this has been shown to have a larger effect.

#define TJFLAG_FASTUPSAMPLE

When decompressing an image that was compressed using chrominance subsampling, use the fastest chrominance upsampling algorithm available in the underlying codec.

The default is to use smooth upsampling, which creates a smooth transition between neighboring chrominance components in order to reduce upsampling artifacts in the decompressed image.

#define TJFLAG_NOREALLOC

Disable buffer (re)allocation.

If passed to one of the JPEG compression or transform functions, this flag will cause those functions to generate an error if the JPEG image buffer is invalid or too small rather than attempting to allocate or reallocate that buffer. This reproduces the behavior of earlier versions of TurboJPEG.

#define TJFLAG_PROGRESSIVE

Use progressive entropy coding in JPEG images generated by the compression and transform functions.

Progressive entropy coding will generally improve compression relative to baseline entropy coding (the default), but it will reduce compression and decompression performance considerably.

#define TJFLAG_STOPONWARNING

Immediately discontinue the current compression/decompression/transform operation if the underlying codec throws a warning (non-fatal error).

The default behavior is to allow the operation to complete unless a fatal error is encountered.

#define TJPAD (   width)

Pad the given width to the nearest 32-bit boundary.

#define TJSCALED (   dimension,
  scalingFactor 
)

Compute the scaled value of dimension using the given scaling factor.

This macro performs the integer equivalent of ceil(dimension * scalingFactor).

#define TJXOPT_COPYNONE

This option will prevent tjTransform() from copying any extra markers (including EXIF and ICC profile data) from the source image to the output image.

#define TJXOPT_CROP

This option will enable lossless cropping.

See tjTransform() for more information.

#define TJXOPT_GRAY

This option will discard the color data in the input image and produce a grayscale output image.

#define TJXOPT_NOOUTPUT

This option will prevent tjTransform() from outputting a JPEG image for this particular transform (this can be used in conjunction with a custom filter to capture the transformed DCT coefficients without transcoding them.)

#define TJXOPT_PERFECT

This option will cause tjTransform() to return an error if the transform is not perfect.

Lossless transforms operate on MCU blocks, whose size depends on the level of chrominance subsampling used (see tjMCUWidth and tjMCUHeight.) If the image's width or height is not evenly divisible by the MCU block size, then there will be partial MCU blocks on the right and/or bottom edges. It is not possible to move these partial MCU blocks to the top or left of the image, so any transform that would require that is "imperfect." If this option is not specified, then any partial MCU blocks that cannot be transformed will be left in place, which will create odd-looking strips on the right or bottom edge of the image.

#define TJXOPT_PROGRESSIVE

This option will enable progressive entropy coding in the output image generated by this particular transform.

Progressive entropy coding will generally improve compression relative to baseline entropy coding (the default), but it will reduce compression and decompression performance considerably.

#define TJXOPT_TRIM

This option will cause tjTransform() to discard any partial MCU blocks that cannot be transformed.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct tjtransform tjtransform

Lossless transform.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum TJCS

JPEG colorspaces.

Enumerator
TJCS_RGB 

RGB colorspace.

When compressing the JPEG image, the R, G, and B components in the source image are reordered into image planes, but no colorspace conversion or subsampling is performed. RGB JPEG images can be decompressed to any of the extended RGB pixel formats or grayscale, but they cannot be decompressed to YUV images.

TJCS_YCbCr 

YCbCr colorspace.

YCbCr is not an absolute colorspace but rather a mathematical transformation of RGB designed solely for storage and transmission. YCbCr images must be converted to RGB before they can actually be displayed. In the YCbCr colorspace, the Y (luminance) component represents the black & white portion of the original image, and the Cb and Cr (chrominance) components represent the color portion of the original image. Originally, the analog equivalent of this transformation allowed the same signal to drive both black & white and color televisions, but JPEG images use YCbCr primarily because it allows the color data to be optionally subsampled for the purposes of reducing bandwidth or disk space. YCbCr is the most common JPEG colorspace, and YCbCr JPEG images can be compressed from and decompressed to any of the extended RGB pixel formats or grayscale, or they can be decompressed to YUV planar images.

TJCS_GRAY 

Grayscale colorspace.

The JPEG image retains only the luminance data (Y component), and any color data from the source image is discarded. Grayscale JPEG images can be compressed from and decompressed to any of the extended RGB pixel formats or grayscale, or they can be decompressed to YUV planar images.

TJCS_CMYK 

CMYK colorspace.

When compressing the JPEG image, the C, M, Y, and K components in the source image are reordered into image planes, but no colorspace conversion or subsampling is performed. CMYK JPEG images can only be decompressed to CMYK pixels.

TJCS_YCCK 

YCCK colorspace.

YCCK (AKA "YCbCrK") is not an absolute colorspace but rather a mathematical transformation of CMYK designed solely for storage and transmission. It is to CMYK as YCbCr is to RGB. CMYK pixels can be reversibly transformed into YCCK, and as with YCbCr, the chrominance components in the YCCK pixels can be subsampled without incurring major perceptual loss. YCCK JPEG images can only be compressed from and decompressed to CMYK pixels.

enum TJERR

Error codes.

Enumerator
TJERR_WARNING 

The error was non-fatal and recoverable, but the image may still be corrupt.

TJERR_FATAL 

The error was fatal and non-recoverable.

enum TJPF

Pixel formats.

Enumerator
TJPF_RGB 

RGB pixel format.

The red, green, and blue components in the image are stored in 3-byte pixels in the order R, G, B from lowest to highest byte address within each pixel.

TJPF_BGR 

BGR pixel format.

The red, green, and blue components in the image are stored in 3-byte pixels in the order B, G, R from lowest to highest byte address within each pixel.

TJPF_RGBX 

RGBX pixel format.

The red, green, and blue components in the image are stored in 4-byte pixels in the order R, G, B from lowest to highest byte address within each pixel. The X component is ignored when compressing and undefined when decompressing.

TJPF_BGRX 

BGRX pixel format.

The red, green, and blue components in the image are stored in 4-byte pixels in the order B, G, R from lowest to highest byte address within each pixel. The X component is ignored when compressing and undefined when decompressing.

TJPF_XBGR 

XBGR pixel format.

The red, green, and blue components in the image are stored in 4-byte pixels in the order R, G, B from highest to lowest byte address within each pixel. The X component is ignored when compressing and undefined when decompressing.

TJPF_XRGB 

XRGB pixel format.

The red, green, and blue components in the image are stored in 4-byte pixels in the order B, G, R from highest to lowest byte address within each pixel. The X component is ignored when compressing and undefined when decompressing.

TJPF_GRAY 

Grayscale pixel format.

Each 1-byte pixel represents a luminance (brightness) level from 0 to 255.

TJPF_RGBA 

RGBA pixel format.

This is the same as TJPF_RGBX, except that when decompressing, the X component is guaranteed to be 0xFF, which can be interpreted as an opaque alpha channel.

TJPF_BGRA 

BGRA pixel format.

This is the same as TJPF_BGRX, except that when decompressing, the X component is guaranteed to be 0xFF, which can be interpreted as an opaque alpha channel.

TJPF_ABGR 

ABGR pixel format.

This is the same as TJPF_XBGR, except that when decompressing, the X component is guaranteed to be 0xFF, which can be interpreted as an opaque alpha channel.

TJPF_ARGB 

ARGB pixel format.

This is the same as TJPF_XRGB, except that when decompressing, the X component is guaranteed to be 0xFF, which can be interpreted as an opaque alpha channel.

TJPF_CMYK 

CMYK pixel format.

Unlike RGB, which is an additive color model used primarily for display, CMYK (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Key) is a subtractive color model used primarily for printing. In the CMYK color model, the value of each color component typically corresponds to an amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, or black ink that is applied to a white background. In order to convert between CMYK and RGB, it is necessary to use a color management system (CMS.) A CMS will attempt to map colors within the printer's gamut to perceptually similar colors in the display's gamut and vice versa, but the mapping is typically not 1:1 or reversible, nor can it be defined with a simple formula. Thus, such a conversion is out of scope for a codec library. However, the TurboJPEG API allows for compressing CMYK pixels into a YCCK JPEG image (see TJCS_YCCK) and decompressing YCCK JPEG images into CMYK pixels.

TJPF_UNKNOWN 

Unknown pixel format.

Currently this is only used by tjLoadImage().

enum TJSAMP

Chrominance subsampling options.

When pixels are converted from RGB to YCbCr (see TJCS_YCbCr) or from CMYK to YCCK (see TJCS_YCCK) as part of the JPEG compression process, some of the Cb and Cr (chrominance) components can be discarded or averaged together to produce a smaller image with little perceptible loss of image clarity (the human eye is more sensitive to small changes in brightness than to small changes in color.) This is called "chrominance subsampling".

Enumerator
TJSAMP_444 

4:4:4 chrominance subsampling (no chrominance subsampling).

The JPEG or YUV image will contain one chrominance component for every pixel in the source image.

TJSAMP_422 

4:2:2 chrominance subsampling.

The JPEG or YUV image will contain one chrominance component for every 2x1 block of pixels in the source image.

TJSAMP_420 

4:2:0 chrominance subsampling.

The JPEG or YUV image will contain one chrominance component for every 2x2 block of pixels in the source image.

TJSAMP_GRAY 

Grayscale.

The JPEG or YUV image will contain no chrominance components.

TJSAMP_440 

4:4:0 chrominance subsampling.

The JPEG or YUV image will contain one chrominance component for every 1x2 block of pixels in the source image.

Note
4:4:0 subsampling is not fully accelerated in libjpeg-turbo.
TJSAMP_411 

4:1:1 chrominance subsampling.

The JPEG or YUV image will contain one chrominance component for every 4x1 block of pixels in the source image. JPEG images compressed with 4:1:1 subsampling will be almost exactly the same size as those compressed with 4:2:0 subsampling, and in the aggregate, both subsampling methods produce approximately the same perceptual quality. However, 4:1:1 is better able to reproduce sharp horizontal features.

Note
4:1:1 subsampling is not fully accelerated in libjpeg-turbo.
enum TJXOP

Transform operations for tjTransform()

Enumerator
TJXOP_NONE 

Do not transform the position of the image pixels.

TJXOP_HFLIP 

Flip (mirror) image horizontally.

This transform is imperfect if there are any partial MCU blocks on the right edge (see TJXOPT_PERFECT.)

TJXOP_VFLIP 

Flip (mirror) image vertically.

This transform is imperfect if there are any partial MCU blocks on the bottom edge (see TJXOPT_PERFECT.)

TJXOP_TRANSPOSE 

Transpose image (flip/mirror along upper left to lower right axis.) This transform is always perfect.

TJXOP_TRANSVERSE 

Transverse transpose image (flip/mirror along upper right to lower left axis.) This transform is imperfect if there are any partial MCU blocks in the image (see TJXOPT_PERFECT.)

TJXOP_ROT90 

Rotate image clockwise by 90 degrees.

This transform is imperfect if there are any partial MCU blocks on the bottom edge (see TJXOPT_PERFECT.)

TJXOP_ROT180 

Rotate image 180 degrees.

This transform is imperfect if there are any partial MCU blocks in the image (see TJXOPT_PERFECT.)

TJXOP_ROT270 

Rotate image counter-clockwise by 90 degrees.

This transform is imperfect if there are any partial MCU blocks on the right edge (see TJXOPT_PERFECT.)

Function Documentation

DLLEXPORT unsigned char* tjAlloc ( int  bytes)

Allocate an image buffer for use with TurboJPEG.

You should always use this function to allocate the JPEG destination buffer(s) for the compression and transform functions unless you are disabling automatic buffer (re)allocation (by setting TJFLAG_NOREALLOC.)

Parameters
bytesthe number of bytes to allocate
Returns
a pointer to a newly-allocated buffer with the specified number of bytes.
See Also
tjFree()
DLLEXPORT unsigned long tjBufSize ( int  width,
int  height,
int  jpegSubsamp 
)

The maximum size of the buffer (in bytes) required to hold a JPEG image with the given parameters.

The number of bytes returned by this function is larger than the size of the uncompressed source image. The reason for this is that the JPEG format uses 16-bit coefficients, and it is thus possible for a very high-quality JPEG image with very high-frequency content to expand rather than compress when converted to the JPEG format. Such images represent a very rare corner case, but since there is no way to predict the size of a JPEG image prior to compression, the corner case has to be handled.

Parameters
widthwidth (in pixels) of the image
heightheight (in pixels) of the image
jpegSubsampthe level of chrominance subsampling to be used when generating the JPEG image (see Chrominance subsampling options.)
Returns
the maximum size of the buffer (in bytes) required to hold the image, or -1 if the arguments are out of bounds.
DLLEXPORT unsigned long tjBufSizeYUV2 ( int  width,
int  pad,
int  height,
int  subsamp 
)

The size of the buffer (in bytes) required to hold a YUV planar image with the given parameters.

Parameters
widthwidth (in pixels) of the image
padthe width of each line in each plane of the image is padded to the nearest multiple of this number of bytes (must be a power of 2.)
heightheight (in pixels) of the image
subsamplevel of chrominance subsampling in the image (see Chrominance subsampling options.)
Returns
the size of the buffer (in bytes) required to hold the image, or -1 if the arguments are out of bounds.
DLLEXPORT int tjCompress2 ( tjhandle  handle,
const unsigned char *  srcBuf,
int  width,
int  pitch,
int  height,
int  pixelFormat,
unsigned char **  jpegBuf,
unsigned long *  jpegSize,
int  jpegSubsamp,
int  jpegQual,
int  flags 
)

Compress an RGB, grayscale, or CMYK image into a JPEG image.

Parameters
handlea handle to a TurboJPEG compressor or transformer instance
srcBufpointer to an image buffer containing RGB, grayscale, or CMYK pixels to be compressed
widthwidth (in pixels) of the source image
pitchbytes per line in the source image. Normally, this should be width * tjPixelSize[pixelFormat] if the image is unpadded, or TJPAD(width * tjPixelSize[pixelFormat]) if each line of the image is padded to the nearest 32-bit boundary, as is the case for Windows bitmaps. You can also be clever and use this parameter to skip lines, etc. Setting this parameter to 0 is the equivalent of setting it to width * tjPixelSize[pixelFormat].
heightheight (in pixels) of the source image
pixelFormatpixel format of the source image (see Pixel formats.)
jpegBufaddress of a pointer to an image buffer that will receive the JPEG image. TurboJPEG has the ability to reallocate the JPEG buffer to accommodate the size of the JPEG image. Thus, you can choose to:
  1. pre-allocate the JPEG buffer with an arbitrary size using tjAlloc() and let TurboJPEG grow the buffer as needed,
  2. set *jpegBuf to NULL to tell TurboJPEG to allocate the buffer for you, or

Compress a YUV planar image into a JPEG image.

Parameters
handlea handle to a TurboJPEG compressor or transformer instance
srcBufpointer to an image buffer containing a YUV planar image to be compressed. The size of this buffer should match the value returned by tjBufSizeYUV2() for the given image width, height, padding, and level of chrominance subsampling. The Y, U (Cb), and V (Cr) image planes should be stored sequentially in the source buffer (refer to YUV Image Format Notes.)
widthwidth (in pixels) of the source image. If the width is not an even multiple of the MCU block width (see tjMCUWidth), then an intermediate buffer copy will be performed within TurboJPEG.
padthe line padding used in the source image. For instance, if each line in each plane of the YUV image is padded to the nearest multiple of 4 bytes, then pad should be set to 4.
heightheight (in pixels) of the source image. If the height is not an even multiple of the MCU block height (see tjMCUHeight), then an intermediate buffer copy will be performed within TurboJPEG.
subsampthe level of chrominance subsampling used in the source image (see Chrominance subsampling options.)
jpegBufaddress of a pointer to an image buffer that will receive the JPEG image. TurboJPEG has the ability to reallocate the JPEG buffer to accommodate the size of the JPEG image. Thus, you can choose to:
  1. pre-allocate the JPEG buffer with an arbitrary size using tjAlloc() and let TurboJPEG grow the buffer as needed,
  2. set *jpegBuf to NULL to tell TurboJPEG to allocate the buffer for you, or
  3. pre-allocate the buffer to a "worst case" size determined by calling tjBufSize(). This should ensure that the buffer never has to be re-allocated (setting TJFLAG_NOREALLOC guarantees that it won't be.)
If you choose option 1, *jpegSize should be set to the size of your pre-allocated buffer. In any case, unless you have set TJFLAG_NOREALLOC, you should always check *jpegBuf upon return from this function, as it may have changed.

Parameters
handlea handle to a TurboJPEG compressor or transformer instance
srcPlanesan array of pointers to Y, U (Cb), and V (Cr) image planes (or just a Y plane, if compressing a grayscale image) that contain a YUV image to be compressed. These planes can be contiguous or non-contiguous in memory. The size of each plane should match the value returned by tjPlaneSizeYUV() for the given image width, height, strides, and level of chrominance subsampling. Refer to YUV Image Format Notes for more details.
widthwidth (in pixels) of the source image. If the width is not an even multiple of the MCU block width (see tjMCUWidth), then an intermediate buffer copy will be performed within TurboJPEG.
stridesan array of integers, each specifying the number of bytes per line in the corresponding plane of the YUV source image. Setting the stride for any plane to 0 is the same as setting it to the plane width (see YUV Image Format Notes.) If strides is NULL, then the strides for all planes will be set to their respective plane widths. You can adjust the strides in order to specify an arbitrary amount of line padding in each plane or to create a JPEG image from a subregion of a larger YUV planar image.
heightheight (in pixels) of the source image. If the height is not an even multiple of the MCU block height (see tjMCUHeight), then an intermediate buffer copy will be performed within TurboJPEG.

This function uses the accelerated color conversion routines in the underlying codec but does not execute any of the other steps in the JPEG decompression process.

Parameters
handlea handle to a TurboJPEG decompressor or transformer instance
srcBufpointer to an image buffer containing a YUV planar image to be decoded. The size of this buffer should match the value returned by tjBufSizeYUV2() for the given image width, height, padding, and level of chrominance subsampling. The Y, U (Cb), and V (Cr) image planes should be stored sequentially in the source buffer (refer to YUV Image Format Notes.)

Parameters
handlea handle to a TurboJPEG decompressor or transformer instance
jpegBufpointer to a buffer containing the JPEG image to decompress
jpegSizesize of the JPEG image (in bytes)
dstBufpointer to an image buffer that will receive the decompressed image. This buffer should normally be pitch * scaledHeight bytes in size, where scaledHeight can be determined by calling TJSCALED() with the JPEG image height and one of the scaling factors returned by tjGetScalingFactors(). The dstBuf pointer may also be used to decompress into a specific region of a larger buffer.

widthpointer to an integer variable that will receive the width (in pixels) of the uncompressed image
alignrow alignment of the image buffer to be returned (must be a power of 2.) For instance, setting this parameter to 4 will cause all rows in the image buffer to be padded to the nearest 32-bit boundary, and setting this parameter to 1 will cause all rows in the image buffer to be unpadded.
heightpointer to an integer variable that will receive the height (in pixels) of the uncompressed image
pixelFormatpointer to an integer variable that specifies or will receive the pixel format of the uncompressed image buffer. The behavior of tjLoadImage() will vary depending on the value of *pixelFormat passed to the function:

  • TJPF_GRAY : Only PGM files and 8-bit BMP files with a grayscale colormap can be loaded.
  • TJPF_CMYK : The RGB or grayscale pixels stored in the file will be converted using a quick & dirty algorithm that is suitable only for testing purposes (proper conversion between CMYK and other formats requires a color management system.)
  • Other pixel formats : The uncompressed image buffer will use the specified pixel format, and pixel format conversion will be performed if necessary.
flagsthe bitwise OR of one or more of the flags.

filenamename of a file to which to save the uncompressed image. The image will be stored in Windows BMP or PBMPLUS (PPM/PGM) format, depending on the file extension.
bufferpointer to an image buffer containing RGB, grayscale, or CMYK pixels to be saved
widthwidth (in pixels) of the uncompressed image
pitchbytes per line in the image buffer. Setting this parameter to 0 is the equivalent of setting it to width * tjPixelSize[pixelFormat].
heightheight (in pixels) of the uncompressed image
pixelFormatpixel format of the image buffer (see Pixel formats.) If this parameter is set to TJPF_GRAY, then the image will be stored in PGM or 8-bit (indexed color) BMP format. Otherwise, the image will be stored in PPM or 24-bit BMP format. If this parameter is set to TJPF_CMYK, then the CMYK pixels will be converted to RGB using a quick & dirty algorithm that is suitable only for testing (proper conversion between CMYK and other formats requires a color management system.)
flagsthe bitwise OR of one or more of the flags.
Returns
0 if successful, or -1 if an error occurred (see tjGetErrorStr2().)

Losslessly transform a JPEG image into another JPEG image.

Lossless transforms work by moving the raw DCT coefficients from one JPEG image structure to another without altering the values of the coefficients. While this is typically faster than decompressing the image, transforming it, and re-compressing it, lossless transforms are not free. Each lossless transform requires reading and performing Huffman decoding on all of the coefficients in the source image, regardless of the size of the destination image. Thus, this function provides a means of generating multiple transformed images from the same source or applying multiple transformations simultaneously, in order to eliminate the need to read the source coefficients multiple times.

Parameters
handlea handle to a TurboJPEG transformer instance
jpegBufpointer to a buffer containing the JPEG source image to transform
jpegSizesize of the JPEG source image (in bytes)
nthe number of transformed JPEG images to generate
dstBufspointer to an array of n image buffers. dstBufs[i] will receive a JPEG image that has been transformed using the parameters in transforms[i]. TurboJPEG has the ability to reallocate the JPEG buffer to accommodate the size of the JPEG image. Thus, you can choose to:
  1. pre-allocate the JPEG buffer with an arbitrary size using tjAlloc() and let TurboJPEG grow the buffer as needed,
  2. set dstBufs[i] to NULL to tell TurboJPEG to allocate the buffer for you, or
  3. pre-allocate the buffer to a "worst case" size determined by calling tjBufSize() with the transformed or cropped width and height. Under normal circumstances, this should ensure that the buffer never has to be re-allocated (setting TJFLAG_NOREALLOC guarantees that it won't be.) Note, however, that there are some rare cases (such as transforming images with a large amount of embedded EXIF or ICC profile data) in which the output image will be larger than the worst-case size, and TJFLAG_NOREALLOC cannot be used in those cases.
If you choose option 1, dstSizes[i] should be set to the size of your pre-allocated buffer. In any case, unless you have set TJFLAG_NOREALLOC, you should always check dstBufs[i] upon return from this function, as it may have changed.
dstSizespointer to an array of n unsigned long variables that will receive the actual sizes (in bytes) of each transformed JPEG image. If dstBufs[i] points to a pre-allocated buffer, then dstSizes[i] should be set to the size of the buffer. Upon return, dstSizes[i] will contain the size of the JPEG image (in bytes.)
transformspointer to an array of n tjtransform structures, each of which specifies the transform parameters and/or cropping region for the corresponding transformed output image.
flagsthe bitwise OR of one or more of the flags
Returns
0 if successful, or -1 if an error occurred (see tjGetErrorStr2() and tjGetErrorCode().)

Variable Documentation

const int tjAlphaOffset[TJ_NUMPF]
static

Alpha offset (in bytes) for a given pixel format.

This specifies the number of bytes that the Alpha component is offset from the start of the pixel. For instance, if a pixel of format TJ_BGRA is stored in char pixel[], then the alpha component will be pixel[tjAlphaOffset[TJ_BGRA]]. This will be -1 if the pixel format does not have an alpha component.

const int tjBlueOffset[TJ_NUMPF]
static

Blue offset (in bytes) for a given pixel format.

This specifies the number of bytes that the Blue component is offset from the start of the pixel. For instance, if a pixel of format TJ_BGRX is stored in char pixel[], then the blue component will be pixel[tjBlueOffset[TJ_BGRX]]. This will be -1 if the pixel format does not have a blue component.

const int tjGreenOffset[TJ_NUMPF]
static

Green offset (in bytes) for a given pixel format.

This specifies the number of bytes that the green component is offset from the start of the pixel. For instance, if a pixel of format TJ_BGRX is stored in char pixel[], then the green component will be pixel[tjGreenOffset[TJ_BGRX]]. This will be -1 if the pixel format does not have a green component.

const int tjMCUHeight[TJ_NUMSAMP]
static

MCU block height (in pixels) for a given level of chrominance subsampling.

MCU block sizes:

  • 8x8 for no subsampling or grayscale
  • 16x8 for 4:2:2
  • 8x16 for 4:4:0
  • 16x16 for 4:2:0
  • 32x8 for 4:1:1
const int tjMCUWidth[TJ_NUMSAMP]
static

MCU block width (in pixels) for a given level of chrominance subsampling.

MCU block sizes:

  • 8x8 for no subsampling or grayscale
  • 16x8 for 4:2:2
  • 8x16 for 4:4:0
  • 16x16 for 4:2:0

const int tjPixelSize[TJ_NUMPF]
static

Pixel size (in bytes) for a given pixel format.

const int tjRedOffset[TJ_NUMPF]
static

Red offset (in bytes) for a given pixel format.

This specifies the number of bytes that the red component is offset from the start of the pixel. For instance, if a pixel of format TJ_BGRX is stored in char pixel[], then the red component will be pixel[tjRedOffset[TJ_BGRX]]. This will be -1 if the pixel format does not have a red component.
