## Detailed Description

This is the base class for implementing image file loading/saving, and image creation from data.

It is used within wxImage and is not normally seen by the application.

If you wish to extend the capabilities of wxImage, derive a class from wxImageHandler and add the handler using wxImage::AddHandler in your application initialization.

Note that all wxImageHandlers provided by wxWidgets are part of the wxCore library. For details about the default handlers, please see the section Available image handlers in the wxImage class documentation.

# Note (Legal Issue)

This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group. (Applies when wxWidgets is linked with JPEG support. wxJPEGHandler uses libjpeg created by IJG.)

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ wxImageHandler()

wxImageHandler::wxImageHandler | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

In your own default constructor, initialise the members m_name, m_extension and m_type.

## ◆ ~wxImageHandler()

virtual wxImageHandler::~wxImageHandler | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Destroys the wxImageHandler object.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ CanRead() [1/2]

bool wxImageHandler::CanRead | ( | const wxString & | filename | ) |

Returns true if this handler supports the image format contained in the file with the given name.

This function doesn't modify the current stream position (because it restores the original position before returning; this however requires the stream to be seekable; see wxStreamBase::IsSeekable).

## ◆ CanRead() [2/2]

bool wxImageHandler::CanRead | ( | wxInputStream & | stream | ) |

Returns true if this handler supports the image format contained in the given stream.

This function doesn't modify the current stream position (because it restores the original position before returning; this however requires the stream to be seekable; see wxStreamBase::IsSeekable).

## ◆ DoCanRead()

virtual bool wxImageHandler::DoCanRead | ( | wxInputStream & | stream | ) |
| protectedpure virtual

Called to test if this handler can read an image from the given stream.

NOTE: this function is allowed to change the current stream position since CallDoCanRead() will take care of restoring it later

Implemented in wxGIFHandler, wxIFFHandler, wxJPEGHandler, wxPCXHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxPNMHandler, wxTGAHandler, wxTIFFHandler, and wxXPMHandler.

## ◆ DoGetImageCount()

virtual int wxImageHandler::DoGetImageCount | ( | wxInputStream & | stream | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Called to get the number of images available in a multi-image file type, if supported.

NOTE: this function is allowed to change the current stream position since GetImageCount() will take care of restoring it later

Reimplemented in wxGIFHandler, and wxTIFFHandler.

## ◆ GetAltExtensions()

const wxArrayString & wxImageHandler::GetAltExtensions | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the other file extensions associated with this handler.

The preferred extension for this handler is returned by GetExtension().

Since
  2.9.0

## ◆ GetExtension()

const wxString & wxImageHandler::GetExtension | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the preferred file extension associated with this handler.

See also
  GetAltExtensions()

## ◆ GetImageCount()

int wxImageHandler::GetImageCount | ( | wxInputStream & | stream | ) |

If the image file contains more than one image and the image handler is capable of retrieving these individually, this function will return the number of available images.

Parameters

  stream | Opened input stream for reading image data. This function doesn't modify the current stream position (because it restores the original position before returning; this however requires the stream to be seekable; see wxStreamBase::IsSeekable).

Returns
  Number of available images. For most image handlers, this is 1 (exceptions are TIFF and ICO formats as well as animated GIFs for which this function returns the number of frames in the animation).

## ◆ GetLibraryVersionInfo()

wxVersionInfo wxImageHandler::GetLibraryVersionInfo | ( |  | ) |
| static

Retrieve the version information about the image library used by this handler.

This method is not present in wxImageHandler class itself but is present in a few of the classes deriving from it, currently wxJPEGHandler, wxPNGHandler and wxTIFFHandler. It returns the information about the version of the image library being used for the corresponding handler implementation.

Since
  2.9.2

## ◆ GetMimeType()

const wxString & wxImageHandler::GetMimeType | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the MIME type associated with this handler.

## ◆ GetName()

const wxString & wxImageHandler::GetName | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the name of this handler.

## ◆ GetType()

wxBitmapType wxImageHandler::GetType | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the image type associated with this handler.

## ◆ LoadFile()

virtual bool wxImageHandler::LoadFile | ( | wxImage * | image,
|  | wxInputStream & | stream,
|  | bool | verbose = true,
|  | int | index = -1 )
| virtual

Loads an image from a stream, putting the resulting data into image.

If the image file contains more than one image and the image handler is capable of retrieving these individually, index indicates which image to read from the stream.

Parameters

  image | The image object which is to be affected by this operation.
  stream | Opened input stream for reading image data.
  verbose | If set to true, errors reported by the image handler will produce wxLogMessages.
  index | The index of the image in the file (starting from zero).

Returns
  true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise.

  wxImage::LoadFile, wxImage::SaveFile, SaveFile()

Reimplemented in wxGIFHandler, wxIFFHandler, wxJPEGHandler, wxPCXHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxPNMHandler, wxTGAHandler, wxTIFFHandler, and wxXPMHandler.

## ◆ SaveFile()

virtual bool wxImageHandler::SaveFile | ( | wxImage * | image,
|  | wxOutputStream & | stream,
|  | bool | verbose = true )
| virtual

Saves an image in the output stream.

Parameters

  image | The image object which is to be affected by this operation.
  stream | Opened output stream for writing the data.
