/* Readers and writers for `PBM`, `PGM`, `PPM`, `PAM` and `PFM` images. Formats: PBM (P1, P4): Portable Bit Map, stores black and white images (1 channel) PGM (P2, P5): Portable Gray Map, stores greyscale images (1 channel, 1 or 2 bytes per value) PPM (P3, P6): Portable Pixel Map, stores colour images (3 channel, 1 or 2 bytes per value) PAM (P7 ): Portable Arbitrary Map, stores arbitrary channel images (1 or 2 bytes per value) PFM (Pf, PF): Portable Float Map, stores floating-point images (Pf: 1 channel, PF: 3 channel) Reading: - All formats fill out header fields `format`, `width`, `height`, `channels`, `depth`. - Specific formats use more fields: PGM, PPM, and PAM set `maxval` (maximum of 65535) PAM sets `tupltype` if there is one, and can set `channels` to any value (not just 1 or 3) PFM sets `scale` (float equivalent of `maxval`) and `little_endian` (endianness of stored floats) - Currently doesn't support reading multiple images from one binary-format file. Writing: - You can use your own `Netpbm_Info` struct to control how images are written. - All formats require the header field `format` to be specified. - Additional header fields are required for specific formats: PGM, PPM, and PAM require `maxval` (maximum of 65535) PAM also uses `tupltype`, though it may be left as default (empty or nil string) PFM requires `scale`, and optionally `little_endian` Some syntax differences from the specifications: - `channels` stores the number of values per pixel, what the PAM specification calls `depth` - `depth` instead is the number of bits for a single value (32 for PFM, 16 or 8 otherwise) - `scale` and `little_endian` are separated, so the `header` will always store a positive `scale` - `little_endian` will only be true for a negative `scale` PFM, every other format will be false - `little_endian` only describes the netpbm data being read/written, the image buffer will be native */ package netpbm
