Magnum::CompressedImageView class

Compressed image view.

Non-owning view on multi-dimensional compressed image data together with layout and compressed block format description. Unlike CompressedImage, this class doesn't take ownership of the data, so it is targeted for wrapping data that is either stored in stack/constant memory (and shouldn't be deleted) or is managed by something else.

This class can act as drop-in replacement for CompressedImage or Trade::ImageData, these two are additionally implicitly convertible to it. Particular graphics API wrappers provide additional image classes, for example GL::CompressedBufferImage. See also ImageView for equivalent functionality targeted on non-compressed image formats.

Basic usage

The view is created from a CompressedPixelFormat, size in pixels and a data view:

CompressedImageView2D view{CompressedPixelFormat::Bc1RGBUnorm,
    {512, 256}, data};

It's also possible to create an empty view and assign the memory later. That is useful for example in case of multi-buffered video streaming, where each frame has the same properties but a different memory location:

CompressedImageView2D frame{CompressedPixelFormat::Bc1RGBUnorm, {512, 256}};

frame.setData(evenFrameData);
// Use even frame data ...

frame.setData(oddFrameData);
// Use odd frame data ...

It's possible to have views on image sub-rectangles, 3D texture slices or images with over-aligned rows by passing a particular CompressedPixelStorage as first parameter. In the following snippet, the view is the bottom-right 32x32 sub-rectangle of a 64x64 image:

CompressedImageView2D view{
    CompressedPixelStorage{}
        .setRowLength(64)
        .setCompressedBlockSize({4, 4, 1})
        .setCompressedBlockDataSize(8)
        .setSkip({32, 32, 0}),
    CompressedPixelFormat::Bc1RGBUnorm, {32, 32}, data};

Data mutability

When using types derived from BasicCompressedImageView (e.g. CompressedImageView2D), the viewed data are immutable. This is the most common use case. In order to be able to mutate the underlying data (for example in order to read into a pre-allocated memory), use BasicMutableCompressedImageView (e.g. MutableCompressedImageView2D) instead. CompressedImage and Trade::ImageData are convertible to either of these. Similarly to Corrade::Containers::ArrayView etc., a mutable view is also implicitly convertible to a const one.

Implementation-specific formats

For known graphics APIs, there's a set of utility functions converting from CompressedPixelFormat to implementation-specific format identifiers and such conversion is done implicitly when passing the view to a particular API. See the enum documentation and documentation of its values for more information.

In some cases, for example when there's no corresponding generic format available, it's desirable to specify the pixel format using implementation-specific identifiers directly. In case of OpenGL that would be GL::CompressedPixelFormat:

CompressedImageView2D view{GL::CompressedPixelFormat::SignedRGRgtc2,
    {512, 256}, data};

In such cases, the implementation-specific format is wrapped in CompressedPixelFormat using compressedPixelFormatWrap() and format() returns the wrapped value. In order to distinguish if the format is wrapped, use isCompressedPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() and then extract the implementation-specific identifier using compressedPixelFormatUnwrap():

auto format = compressedPixelFormatUnwrap<GLenum>(view.format());
