Detailed Description

Description:
Color quantizer, for doing true-color to paletted conversion. All methods of this class are implemented by the system. Create a Quantizer object by calling:

Quantizer *BMMNewQuantizer();

Be sure to call Quantizer::DeleteThis() when done.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Quantizer()

virtual ~Quantizer ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
Destructor.
121 {}

Member Function Documentation

◆ AllocHistogram()

virtual int AllocHistogram ( void  )
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allocates the histogram used in doing the conversion.
Returns
Nonzero if the histogram was allocated; otherwise zero.

◆ Partition()

virtual int Partition ( BMM_Color_48 pal,
int  palsize,
BMM_Color_64 forceCol 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method uses the histogram and computes the palette.
Parameters:
BMM_Color_48 *pal

Storage for the palette to compute.

int palsize

The size of the palette.

BMM_Color_64 *forceCol

If there is a color that you want to make sure is available in the palette, you may pass it here. This is used for the background color of an image for example. If this is not NULL the quantizer will make up a palette and make sure that this color is in it. For backgrounds, this looks much nicer because the background won't be dithered when shown using the palette.
Returns
Nonzero if the palette was computed; otherwise zero.

◆ AddToHistogram() [1/3]

virtual void AddToHistogram ( BMM_Color_64 image,
int  npix 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
Adds the specified colors to the histogram so they are taken into account in the palette computations.
Parameters:
BMM_Color_64 *image

The pixels to include.

int npix

The number of pixels above.

◆ AddToHistogram() [2/3]

virtual void AddToHistogram ( BMM_Color_48 image,
int  npix 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
Adds the specified colors to the histogram so they are taken into account in the palette computations.
Parameters:
BMM_Color_48 *image

The pixels to include.

int npix

The number of pixels above.

◆ AddToHistogram() [3/3]

virtual void AddToHistogram ( BMM_Color_24 image,
int  npix 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
Adds the specified colors to the histogram so they are taken into account in the palette computations.
Parameters:
BMM_Color_24 *image

The pixels to include.

int npix

The number of pixels above.

◆ DeleteThis()

virtual void DeleteThis ( )
pure virtual
Remarks
This method is called to delete the Quantizer when you are done with it.
