\section{Built-in Module \sectcode{jpeg}}
\bimodindex{jpeg}
The module jpeg provides access to the jpeg compressor and
decompressor written by the Independent JPEG Group. JPEG is a (draft?)
standard for compressing pictures. For details on jpeg or the
Independent JPEG Group software refer to the JPEG standard or the
1994-01-02 09:22:07 +08:00
documentation provided with the software.
The jpeg module defines these functions:
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module jpeg)}
\begin{funcdesc}{compress}{data\, w\, h\, b}
Treat data as a pixmap of width w and height h, with b bytes per
pixel. The data is in SGI GL order, so the first pixel is in the
1994-01-02 09:22:07 +08:00
lower-left corner. This means that lrectread return data can
immedeately be passed to compress. Currently only 1 byte and 4 byte
pixels are allowed, the former being treated as greyscale and the
1994-01-02 09:22:07 +08:00
latter as RGB color. Compress returns a string that contains the
compressed picture, in JFIF format.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{decompress}{data}
Data is a string containing a picture in JFIF format. It returns a
tuple
\code{(\var{data}, \var{width}, \var{height}, \var{bytesperpixel})}.
Again, the data is suitable to pass to lrectwrite.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{setoption}{name\, value}
Set various options. Subsequent compress and decompress calls
will use these options. The following options are available:
\begin{description}
\item[\code{'forcegray'}]
Force output to be grayscale, even if input is RGB.
\item[\code{'quality'}]
Set the quality of the compressed image to a
value between \code{0} and \code{100} (default is \code{75}). Compress only.
\item[\code{'optimize'}]
Perform Huffman table optimization. Takes longer, but results in
1994-01-02 09:22:07 +08:00
smaller compressed image. Compress only.
\item[\code{'smooth'}]
Perform inter-block smoothing on uncompressed image. Only useful for
low-quality images. Decompress only.
\end{description}
\end{funcdesc}
Compress and uncompress raise the error jpeg.error in case of errors.
