Tizen Native API  6.5

Here are grouped together functions used to create and manipulate image objects. They are available to whichever occasion one needs complex imagery on a GUI that could not be achieved by the other Evas' primitive object types, or to make image manipulations.

Evas will support whatever image file types it was compiled with support to (its image loaders) -- check your software packager for that information and see evas_object_image_extension_can_load_get().

Image object basics

The most common use of image objects -- to display an image on the canvas -- is achieved by a common function triplet:

 img = evas_object_image_add(canvas);
 evas_object_image_file_set(img, "path/to/img", NULL);
 evas_object_image_fill_set(img, 0, 0, w, h);

The first function, naturally, is creating the image object. Then, one must set a source file on it, so that it knows where to fetch image data from. Next, one must set how to fill the image object's area with that given pixel data. One could use just a sub-region of the original image or even have it tiled repeatedly on the image object. For the common case of having the whole source image to be displayed on the image object, stretched to the destination's size, there's also a function helper, to be used instead of evas_object_image_fill_set():

See those functions' documentation for more details.

Scale and resizing

Resizing of image objects will scale their respective source images to their areas, if they are set to "fill" the object's area (evas_object_image_filled_set()). If the user wants any control on the aspect ratio of an image for different sizes, he/she has to take care of that themselves. There are functions to make images to get loaded scaled (up or down) in memory, already, if the user is going to use them at pre-determined sizes and wants to save computations.

Evas has even a scale cache that will take care of caching scaled versions of images with more often usage/hits. Finally, one can have images being rescaled smoothly by Evas (more computationally expensive) or not.

Performance hints

When dealing with image objects, there are some tricks to boost the performance of your application, if it does intense image loading and/or manipulations, as in animations on a UI.

Load hints

In image viewer applications, for example, the user will be looking at a given image, at full size, and will desire that the navigation to the adjacent images on his/her album be fluid and fast. Thus, while displaying a given image, the program can be in the background loading the next and previous images already, so that displaying them in sequence is just a matter of repainting the screen (and not decoding image data).

Evas addresses this issue with image pre-loading. The code for the situation above would be something like the following:

If you're loading images that are too big, consider setting previously it's loading size to something smaller, in case you won't expose them in real size. It may speed up the loading considerably:

 //to load a scaled down version of the image in memory, if that's
 //the size you'll be displaying it anyway
 evas_object_image_load_scale_down_set(img, zoom);

 //optional: if you know you'll be showing a sub-set of the image's
 //pixels, you can avoid loading the complementary data
 evas_object_image_load_region_set(img, x, y, w, h);

Refer to Elementary's Photocam widget for a high level (smart) object that does lots of loading speed-ups for you.

Animation hints

If you want to animate image objects on a UI (what you'd get by concomitant usage of other libraries, like Ecore and Edje), there are also some tips on how to boost the performance of your application. If the animation involves resizing of an image (thus, re-scaling), you'd better turn off smooth scaling on it during the animation, turning it back on afterwards, for less computations. Also, in this case you'd better flag the image object in question not to cache scaled versions of it:

 evas_object_image_scale_hint_set(wd->img, EVAS_IMAGE_SCALE_HINT_DYNAMIC);

 // resizing takes place in between

 evas_object_image_scale_hint_set(wd->img, EVAS_IMAGE_SCALE_HINT_STATIC);

Finally, movement of opaque images through the canvas is less expensive than of translucid ones, because of blending computations.

Borders

Evas provides facilities for one to specify an image's region to be treated specially -- as "borders". This will make those regions be treated specially on resizing scales, by keeping their aspect. This makes setting frames around other objects on UIs easy. See the following figures for a visual explanation:

border-effect.png

Manipulating pixels

Evas image objects can be used to manipulate raw pixels in many ways. The meaning of the data in the pixel arrays will depend on the image's color space, be warned (see next section). You can set your own data as an image's pixel data, fetch an image's pixel data for saving/altering, convert images between different color spaces and even advanced operations like setting a native surface as image objects' data.

Color spaces

Image objects may return or accept "image data" in multiple formats. This is based on the color space of an object. Here is a rundown on formats:

  • #EVAS_COLORSPACE_ARGB8888: This pixel format is a linear block of pixels, starting at the top-left row by row until the bottom right of the image or pixel region. All pixels are 32-bit unsigned int's with the high-byte being alpha and the low byte being blue in the format ARGB. Alpha may or may not be used by evas depending on the alpha flag of the image, but if not used, should be set to 0xff anyway.

    This colorspace uses premultiplied alpha. That means that R, G and B cannot exceed A in value. The conversion from non-premultiplied colorspace is:

    R = (r * a) / 255; G = (g * a) / 255; B = (b * a) / 255;

    So 50% transparent blue will be: 0x80000080. This will not be "dark" - just 50% transparent. Values are 0 == black, 255 == solid or full red, green or blue.
  • #EVAS_COLORSPACE_YCBCR422P601_PL: This is a pointer-list indirected set of YUV (YCbCr) pixel data. This means that the data returned or set is not actual pixel data, but pointers TO lines of pixel data. The list of pointers will first be N rows of pointers to the Y plane - pointing to the first pixel at the start of each row in the Y plane. N is the height of the image data in pixels. Each pixel in the Y, U and V planes is 1 byte exactly, packed. The next N / 2 pointers will point to rows in the U plane, and the next N / 2 pointers will point to the V plane rows. U and V planes are half the horizontal and vertical resolution of the Y plane.

    Row order is top to bottom and row pixels are stored left to right.

    There is a limitation that these images MUST be a multiple of 2 pixels in size horizontally or vertically. This is due to the U and V planes being half resolution. Also note that this assumes the itu601 YUV colorspace specification. This is defined for standard television and mpeg streams. HDTV may use the itu709 specification.

    Values are 0 to 255, indicating full or no signal in that plane respectively.
  • #EVAS_COLORSPACE_YCBCR422P709_PL: Not implemented yet.
  • #EVAS_COLORSPACE_RGB565_A5P: In the process of being implemented in 1 engine only. This may change.

    This is a pointer to image data for 16-bit half-word pixel data in 16bpp RGB 565 format (5 bits red, 6 bits green, 5 bits blue), with the high-byte containing red and the low byte containing blue, per pixel. This data is packed row by row from the top-left to the bottom right.

    If the image has an alpha channel enabled there will be an extra alpha plane after the color pixel plane. If not, then this data will not exist and should not be accessed in any way. This plane is a set of pixels with 1 byte per pixel defining the alpha values of all pixels in the image from the top-left to the bottom right of the image, row by row. Even though the values of the alpha pixels can be 0 to 255, only values 0 through to 32 are used, 32 being solid and 0 being transparent.

    RGB values can be 0 to 31 for red and blue and 0 to 63 for green, with 0 being black and 31 or 63 being full red, green or blue respectively. This colorspace is also pre-multiplied like EVAS_COLORSPACE_ARGB8888 so:

    R = (r * a) / 32; G = (g * a) / 32; B = (b * a) / 32;
  • #EVAS_COLORSPACE_GRY8: The image is just an alpha mask (8 bit's per pixel). This is used for alpha masking.
Warning:
We don't guarantee any proper results if you create an Image object without setting the evas engine.

A generic datatype for engine specific native surface information.

Please fill up Evas_Native_Surface fields that regarded with current surface type. If you want to set the native surface type to EVAS_NATIVE_SURFACE_X11, you need to set union data with x11.visual or x11.pixmap. If you need to set the native surface as EVAS_NATIVE_SURFACE_OPENGL, on the other hand, you need to set union data with opengl.texture_id or opengl.framebuffer_id and so on. If you need to set the native surface as EVAS_NATIVE_SURFACE_WL, you need to set union data with wl.legacy_buffer. If you need to set the native surface as EVAS_NATIVE_SURFACE_TBM, you need to set union data with tbm surface. The version field should be set with EVAS_NATIVE_SURFACE_VERSION in order to check abi break in your application on the different efl library versions.

Warning:
Native surface types totally depend on the system. Please be aware that the types are supported on your system before using them.
Note:
The information stored in an Evas_Native_Surface returned by evas_gl_native_surface_get() is not meant to be used by applications except for passing it to evas_object_image_native_surface_set().

Function Documentation

Creates a new image object on the given Evas e canvas.

Parameters:
eThe given canvas.
Returns:
The created image object handle.
Note:
If you intend to display an image somehow in a GUI, besides binding it to a real image file/source (with evas_object_image_file_set(), for example), you'll have to tell this image object how to fill its space with the pixels it can get from the source. See evas_object_image_filled_add(), for a helper on the common case of scaling up an image source to the whole area of the image object.

void evas_object_image_alpha_set ( Evas_Object obj,
Eina_Bool  alpha 
)

Enable or disable alpha channel usage on the given image object.

This function sets a flag on an image object indicating whether or not to use alpha channel data. A value of true makes it use alpha channel data, and false makes it ignore that data. Note that this has nothing to do with an object's color as manipulated by evas_object_color_set.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]alphaWhether to use alpha channel ($true) data or not ($false).

Get the total number of frames of the image object.

This returns total number of frames the image object supports (if animated).

See also evas_object_image_animated_get, evas_object_image_animated_loop_type_get, evas_object_image_animated_loop_count_get, evas_object_image_animated_frame_duration_get.

Returns:

)

Get the duration of a sequence of frames.

This returns total duration that the specified sequence of frames should take in seconds.

If you set start_frame to 1 and frame_num 0, you get frame 1's duration. If you set start_frame to 1 and frame_num 1, you get frame 1's duration + frame2's duration.

void evas_object_image_border_get ( const Evas_Object obj,
int *  l,
int *  r,
int *  t,
int *  b 
)

Dimensions of this image's border, a region that does not scale with the center area.

When EFL renders an image, its source may be scaled to fit the size of the object. This function sets an area from the borders of the image inwards which is not to be scaled. This function is useful for making frames and for widget theming, where, for example, buttons may be of varying sizes, but their border size must remain constant.

The units used for l, r, t and b are canvas units (pixels).

Note:
The border region itself may be scaled by the evas_object_image_border_scale_set function.
By default, image objects have no borders set, i.e. l, r, t and b start as 0.
Similar to the concepts of 9-patch images or cap insets.
Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[out]lThe border's left width.

Evas_Coord  h 
)

Set how to fill an image object's drawing rectangle given the (real) image bound to it.

Note that if w or h are smaller than the dimensions of obj, the displayed image will be tiled around the object's area. To have only one copy of the bound image drawn, x and y must be 0 and w and h need to be the exact width and height of the image object itself, respectively.

See the following image to better understand the effects of this call. On this diagram, both image object and original image source have a x a dimensions and the image itself is a circle, with empty space around it:

image-fill.png
Warning:
The default values for the fill parameters are x = 0, y = 0, w = 0 and h = 0. Thus, if you're not using the evas_object_image_filled_add() helper and want your image displayed, you'll have to set valid values with this function on your object.
Note:
evas_object_image_filled_set() is a helper function which will override the values set here automatically, for you, in a given way.
Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]xThe x coordinate (from the top left corner of the bound image) to start drawing from.

void evas_object_image_memfile_set ( Evas_Object obj,
void *  data,
int  size,
char *  format,
char *  key 
)

Sets the data for an image from memory to be loaded

This is the same as evas_object_image_file_set() but the file to be loaded may exist at an address in memory (the data for the file, not the filename itself). The data at the address is copied and stored for future use, so no data needs to be kept after this call is made. It will be managed and freed for you when no longer needed. The size is limited to 2 gigabytes in size, and must be greater than 0. A NULL data pointer is also invalid. Set the filename to NULL to reset to empty state and have the image file data freed from memory using evas_object_image_file_set().

The format is optional (pass NULL if you don't need/use it). It is used to help Evas guess better which loader to use for the data. It may simply be the "extension" of the file as it would normally be on disk such as "jpg" or "png" or "gif" etc.

Parameters:
objThe given image object.
dataThe image file data address
sizeThe size of the image file data in bytes
formatThe format of the file (optional), or NULL if not needed
keyThe image key in file, or NULL.

Retrieves whether the given image object is dirty (needs to be redrawn).

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
Returns:
Whether the image is dirty.
Since :
2.3

Mark whether the given image object is dirty and needs to request its pixels.

This function will only properly work if a pixels get callback has been set.

Warning:
Use this function if you really know what you are doing.
Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]dirtyWhether the image is dirty.

void evas_object_image_preload ( Evas_Object obj,
Eina_Bool  cancel 
)

Preload an image object's image data in the background

Parameters:
objThe given image object.
cancelEINA_FALSE will add it the preloading work queue, EINA_TRUE will remove it (if it was issued before).

This function requests the preload of the data image in the background. The work is queued before being processed (because there might be other pending requests of this type).

Whenever the image data gets loaded, Evas will call #EVAS_CALLBACK_IMAGE_PRELOADED registered callbacks on obj (what may be immediately, if the data was already preloaded before).

Use EINA_TRUE for cancel on scenarios where you don't need the image data preloaded anymore.

Note:
Any evas_object_show() call after evas_object_image_preload() will make the latter to be cancelled, with the loading process now taking place synchronously (and, thus, blocking the return of the former until the image is loaded). It is highly advisable, then, that the user preload an image with it being hidden, just to be shown on the #EVAS_CALLBACK_IMAGE_PRELOADED event's callback.

Eina_Bool evas_object_image_save ( const Eo *  obj,
const char *  file,
const char *  key,
const char *  flags 
)

Save the given image object's contents to an (image) file. Proxy object is image object, but it doesn't have contents. So you can't use this function for proxy objects.

The extension suffix on file will determine which saver module Evas is to use when saving, thus the final file's format. If the file supports multiple data stored in it (Eet ones), you can specify the key to be used as the index of the image in it.

You can specify some flags when saving the image. Currently acceptable flags are quality and compress. Eg.: "quality=100 compress=9"

quality is hint for the quality of image,0-100. 0 means low quality and saved image size is small. 100 means high quality and saved image size is big.

compress is hint for the compression modes (Eet ones) or for the compression flags (Png one) (1 == compress, 0 = don't compress).

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]fileThe filename to be used to save the image (extension obligatory).
[in]keyThe image key in the file (if an Eet one), or NULL, otherwise.
[in]flagsString containing the flags to be used (NULL for none).

void evas_object_image_size_get ( const Evas_Object obj,
int *  w,
int *  h 
)

Retrieves the size of the given image object.

See evas_object_image_size_set() for more details.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[out]wThe new width of the image.
[out]hThe new height of the image.
Since :
2.3
Examples:
evas-map-utils.c.
void evas_object_image_size_set ( Evas_Object obj,
int  w,
int  h 
)

Sets the size of the given image object.

This function will scale down or crop the image so that it is treated as if it were at the given size. If the size given is smaller than the image, it will be cropped. If the size given is larger, then the image will be treated as if it were in the upper left hand corner of a larger image that is otherwise transparent.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]wThe new width of the image.
[in]hThe new height of the image.
Since :

Examples:
ecore_evas_buffer_example_02.c, efl_thread_6.c, and evas-images2.c.

Retrieves whether the given image object is using high-quality image scaling algorithm.

Returns:
Whether smooth scale is being used.

See evas_object_image_smooth_scale_set() for more details.

Since :
2.3
Examples:
evas-images.c.
void evas_object_image_smooth_scale_set ( Eo *  obj,
Eina_Bool  smooth_scale 
)

Sets whether to use high-quality image scaling algorithm on the given image object.

When enabled, a higher quality image scaling algorithm is used when scaling images to sizes other than the source image's original one. This gives better results but is more computationally expensive.

Note:
Image objects get created originally with smooth scaling on.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]smooth_scaleWhether to use smooth scale or not.

Determine whether an object is set to source events.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
Returns:
Whether obj is to pass events ($true) or not ($false).
Since (EFL) :
1.8
Since :
3.0
Examples:
evas-images2.c.

Set whether an Evas object is to source events.

Set whether an Evas object is to repeat events to source.

If repeat is true, it will make events on obj to also be repeated for the source object (see evas_object_image_source_set). Even the obj and source geometries are different, the event position will be transformed to the source object's space.

If repeat is false, events occurring on obj will be processed only on it.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]repeatWhether obj is to pass events ($true) or not ($false).

Get the current source object of an image object.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
Returns:
Source object to use for the proxy.
Since :
2.3
Examples:
evas-images2.c.

Set the source object on an image object to used as a proxy.

If an image object is set to behave as a proxy, it will mirror the rendering contents of a given source object in its drawing region, without affecting that source in any way. The source must be another valid Evas object. Other effects may be applied to the proxy, such as a map (see evas_object_map_set) to create a reflection of the original object (for example).

Any existing source object on obj will be removed after this call. Setting src to null clears the proxy object (not in "proxy state" anymore).

Warning:
You cannot set a proxy as another proxy's source.
Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]srcSource object to use for the proxy.
Since :
2.3
Examples:
evas-images2.c, and evas-map-utils.c.

Clear the source object on a proxy image object.

Parameters:
objImage object to clear source of.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on error.

This is equivalent to calling evas_object_image_source_set() with a NULL source.

Since :
2.3

Get the state of the source object visibility.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object
Returns:
true is source object to be shown, false otherwise.
Deprecated:
Please use evas_object_norender_get() on the source instead.
Since (EFL) :
1.8
Since :
2.3
Examples:
evas-images2.c.

Set the source object to be visible or not.

If visible is set to false, the source object of the proxy ($obj) will be invisible.

This API works differently to evas_object_show and evas_object_hide. Once source object is hidden, the proxy object will be hidden as well. Actually in this case both objects are excluded from the Evas internal update circle.

By this API, instead, one can toggle the visibility of a proxy's source object remaining the proxy visibility untouched.

Warning:
If the all of proxies are deleted, then the source visibility of the source object will be cancelled.
Parameters:
[in]objThe object
[in]visibletrue is source object to be shown, false otherwise.
Deprecated:
Please use evas_object_norender_get() on the source instead.
