Magnum::Trade::PngImageConverter class

#include <MagnumPlugins/PngImageConverter/PngImageConverter.h>

Usage

This plugin depends on the Trade and libPNG libraries and is built if MAGNUM_WITH_PNGIMAGECONVERTER is enabled when building Magnum Plugins. To use as a dynamic plugin, load "PngImageConverter" via Corrade::PluginManager::Manager.

Additionally, if you're using Magnum as a CMake subproject, bundle the magnum-plugins repository and do the following. Using libPNG itself as a CMake subproject isn't tested at the moment, so you need to provide it as a system dependency and point CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to its installation dir if necessary.

set(MAGNUM_WITH_PNGIMAGECONVERTER ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
add_subdirectory(magnum-plugins EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

# So the dynamically loaded plugin gets built implicitly
add_dependencies(your-app MagnumPlugins::PngImageConverter)

To use as a static plugin or as a dependency of another plugin with CMake, put FindMagnumPlugins.cmake into your modules/ directory, request the PngImageConverter component of the MagnumPlugins package and link to the MagnumPlugins::PngImageConverter target:

find_package(MagnumPlugins REQUIRED PngImageConverter)

# ...
target_link_libraries(your-app PRIVATE MagnumPlugins::PngImageConverter)

See Downloading and building plugins, Plugin usage with CMake, Loading and using plugins and File format support for more information.

Behavior and limitations

Accepts 2D images in PixelFormat::R8Unorm / PixelFormat::R16Unorm, PixelFormat::RG8Unorm / PixelFormat::RG16Unorm, PixelFormat::RGB8Unorm / PixelFormat::RGB16Unorm or PixelFormat::RGBA8Unorm / PixelFormat::RGBA16Unorm.

The PNG file format doesn't have a way to distinguish between 2D and 1D array images. If an image has ImageFlag2D::Array set, a warning is printed and the file is saved as a regular 2D image.

The plugin recognizes ImageConverterFlag::Quiet, which will cause all conversion warnings, coming either from the plugin or libpng itself, to be suppressed.
