Produces an NSData object containing a TIFF representation of all the images stored in anArray. BUGS: Currently this only works if the images are NSBitmapImageRep objects, and it only creates an TIFF from the first image in the array.

Produces an NSData object containing a TIFF representation of all the images stored in anArray. The image is compressed according to the compression type and factor . BUGS: Currently this only works if the images are NSBitmapImageRep objects, and it only creates an TIFF from the first image in the array.

Returns a C-array of available TIFF compression types.

Returns a newly allocated NSBitmapImageRep object representing the image stored in imageData. If the image data contains more than one image, the first one is choosen.

See Also: +imageRepsWithData:

Returns an array containing newly allocated NSBitmapImageRep objects representing the images stored in imageData.

See Also: +imageRepWithData:

Returns a localized string describing a TIFF compression type.

Returns a data object in the selected format with multiple images.

See Also: -setProperty:withValue: for the options supported in the properties.

FIXME: returns only the first image in the array, and only works for NSBitmapImageRep or subclasses thereof.

Returns an NSData object containing a TIFF representation of the receiver.

Returns an NSData object containing a TIFF representation of the receiver. The TIFF data is compressed using compresssion type and factor.

Returns the first plane of data representing the image.

Description forthcoming.

Returns the number of bits need to contain one pixels worth of data. This is normally the number of samples per pixel times the number of bits in one sample.

Returns the number of bytes in a plane. This is the number of bytes in a row times tne height of the image.

Returns the number of bytes in a row. This is typically based on the width of the image and the bits per sample and samples per pixel (if in medhed configuration). However it may differ from this if set explicitly in -initWithBitmapDataPlanes:pixelsWide:pixelsHigh:bitsPerSample:samplesPerPixel:hasAlpha:isPlanar:colorSpaceName:bytesPerRow:bitsPerPixel: .

Returns YES if the receiver can be stored in a representation compressed using the compression type.

Returns an NSColor object representing the color of the pixel (x,y), where (0,0) is the top-left pixel in the image.

Description forthcoming.

Files the array data with pointers to each of the data planes representing the image. The data array must be allocated to contain at least -samplesPerPixel pointers.

Returns the receivers compression and compression factor, which is set either when the image is read in or by -setCompression:factor: . Factor is ignored in many compression schemes. For JPEG compression, factor can be any value from 0 to 1, with 1 being the maximum quality.

Returns the values of the components of pixel ( x,y), where (0,0) is the top-left pixel in the image, by storing them in the array pixelData.

Description forthcoming.

Initializes a newly created NSBitmapImageRep object to hold image data specified in the planes buffer and organized according to the additional arguments passed into the method.

The planes argument is an array of char pointers where each array holds a single component or plane of data. Note that if data is passed into the method via planes, the data is NOT copied and not freed when the object is deallocated. It is assumed that the data will always be available. If planes is NULL, then a suitable amount of memory will be allocated to store the information needed. One can then obtain a pointer to the planes data using the -bitmapData or -getBitmapDataPlanes: method.

Each component of the data is in "standard" order, such as red, green, blue for RGB color images. The transparency component, if these is one, should always be last.

The other arguments to the method consist of:

width and height

The width and height of the image in pixels

bps

The bits per sample or the number of bits used to store a number in one component of one pixel of the image. Typically this is 8 (bits) but can be 2 or 4, although not all values are supported.

spp

Samples per pixel, or the number of components of color in the pixel. For instance this would be 4 for an RGB image with transparency.

alpha

Set to YES if the image has a transparency component.

isPlanar

Set to YES if the data is arranged in planes, i.e. one component per buffer as stored in the planes array. If NO, then the image data is mixed in one buffer. For instance, for RGB data, the first sample would contain red, then next green, then blue, followed by red for the next pixel.

colorSpaceName

This argument specifies how the data values are to be interpreted. Possible values include the typical colorspace names (although not all values are currently supported)

rowBytes

Specifies the number of bytes contained in a single scan line of the data. Normally this can be computed from the width of the image, the samples per pixel and the bits per sample. However, if the data is aligned along word boundaries, this value may differ from this. If rowBytes is 0, the method will calculate the value assuming there are no extra bytes at the end of the scan line.

pixelBits

This is normally bps for planar data and bps times spp for non-planar data, but sometimes images have extra bits. If pixelBits is 0 it will be calculated as described above.

Description forthcoming.

Loads only the default (first) image from the image contained in data.

Initialize with bitmap data from a rect within the focused view

Description forthcoming.

Returns YES if the image components are stored separately. Returns NO if the components are meshed (i.e. all the samples for one pixel come before the next pixel).

Returns the number of planes in an image. Typically this is equal to the number of samples in a planar image or 1 for a non-planar image.

Returns a data object in one of the supported bitmap graphics file types. A limited set of options may be passed via the properties. If the passed in properties is nil, it falls back to the options set with -setProperty:withValue: . File types not yet implemented return nil and log an error message.

See Also: -setProperty:withValue: for supported options in the properties.

Returns the number of samples in a pixel. For instance, a normal RGB image with transparency would have a samplesPerPixel of 4.

Sets the color of pixel (x,y), where (0,0) is the top-left pixel in the image.

Description forthcoming.

Sets the components of pixel (x,y), where (0,0) is the top-left pixel in the image, to the given array of pixel components.

Properties are key-value pairs associated with the representation. Arbitrary key-value pairs may be set. If the value is nil, the key is erased from properties. There are standard keys that are used to pass information and options related to the standard file types that may be read from or written to. Certain properties are automatically set when reading in image data. Certain properties may be set by the user prior to writing image data in order to set options for the data format.
