Tizen Native API  3.0
Image Util Encode/Decode

The Image Util Encode/Decode APIs provides functions for encoding and decoding of images .

Required Header

#include <image_util.h>

Overview

Image Util API provides support for encoding and decoding of images. The API allows :

  • Encoding/Decoding of a JPEG/PNG/GIF/BMP image.
  • Encoding/Decoding of a JPEG/PNG/GIF/BMP image to/from memory.

The decoding of a jpeg/png/gif/bmp image located at a given path, to a buffer can be done by calling image_util_decode_run() function and decoding of a jpeg image on memory can be done by calling image_util_decode_set_output_buffer(). Similarly, for encoding image_util_encode_run() and image_util_encode_set_output_buffer() functions can be called to encode an image buffer to a jpeg/png/gif/bmp image and a buffer respectively.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:

The function executes asynchronously, which contains complete callback.
When any of the
Precondition:

)

Sets the time delay between each frame in the encoded animated gif image.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
In case animated gif image if this is not set then there will be no delay between each frame.
This should be set for each frame in the animated gif image.
This can be set a different value for each frame, which results in different delay time between different frames.
Parameters:
[in]handleThe handle to image util encoding
[in]delay_timeTime delay between each frame in the encoded image, in 0.01sec units.
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
