Function Documentation

__extern caca_dither_t* caca_create_dither (int bpp, int w, int h, int pitch, uint32_t rmask, uint32_t gmask, uint32_t bmask, uint32_t amask)

Create a dither structure from its coordinates (depth, width, height and pitch) and pixel mask values. If the depth is 8 bits per pixel, the mask values are ignored and the colour palette should be set using the caca_set_dither_palette() function. For depths greater than 8 bits per pixel, a zero alpha mask causes the alpha values to be ignored.

If an error occurs, NULL is returned and errno is set accordingly:

*

EINVAL Requested width, height, pitch or bits per pixel value was invalid.

*

ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate dither structure.

Parameters:

bpp Bitmap depth in bits per pixel.
w Bitmap width in pixels.
h Bitmap height in pixels.
pitch Bitmap pitch in bytes.
rmask Bitmask for red values.
gmask Bitmask for green values.
bmask Bitmask for blue values.
amask Bitmask for alpha values.

Returns:

Dither object upon success, NULL if an error occurred.

__extern int caca_set_dither_palette (caca_dither_t * d, uint32_t red[], uint32_t green[], uint32_t blue[], uint32_t alpha[])

Set the palette of an 8 bits per pixel bitmap. Values should be between 0 and 4095 (0xfff).

If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:

*

EINVAL Dither bits per pixel value is not 8, or one of the pixel values was outside the range 0 - 4095.

Parameters:

d Dither object.
red Array of 256 red values.
green Array of 256 green values.
blue Array of 256 blue values.
alpha Array of 256 alpha values.

Returns:

0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

__extern int caca_set_dither_brightness (caca_dither_t * d, float brightness)

Set the brightness of dither.

If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:

*

EINVAL Brightness value was out of range.

Parameters:

d Dither object.
brightness brightness value.

Returns:

0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

__extern float caca_get_dither_brightness (caca_dither_t const * d)

Get the brightness of the given dither object.

This function never fails.

Parameters:

d Dither object.

Returns:

Brightness value.

__extern int caca_set_dither_gamma (caca_dither_t * d, float gamma)

Set the gamma of the given dither object. A negative value causes colour inversion.

If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:

*

EINVAL Gamma value was out of range.

Parameters:

d Dither object.
gamma Gamma value.

Returns:

0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

Returns:

Gamma value.

__extern int caca_set_dither_contrast (caca_dither_t * d, float contrast)

Parameters:

d Dither object.

Returns:

Contrast value.

__extern int caca_set_dither_antialias (caca_dither_t * d, char const * str)

0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

__extern char const* const* caca_get_dither_antialias_list (caca_dither_t const * d)

Return a list of available antialiasing methods for a given dither. The list is a NULL-terminated array of strings, interleaving a string containing the internal value for the antialiasing method to be used with caca_set_dither_antialias(), and a string containing the natural language description for that antialiasing method.

This function never fails.

*

"fullgray": use black, white and two shades of gray for both the characters and the background.

*

"full8": use the 8 ANSI colours for both the characters and the background.

*

"full16" or "default": use the 16 ANSI colours for both the characters and the background. This is the default value.
