## Detailed Description

Argument object for the function exportVolume().

See exportVolume() for usage example. This object must be used to define the properties of a volume to be written to disk.

#include <vigra/imageinfo.hxx>
Namespace: vigra

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef ArrayVector<unsigned char> ICCProfile

ICC profiles (handled as raw data so far). see getICCProfile()/setICCProfile()

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VolumeExportInfo | ( | const char * | name_base,
|  | const char * | name_ext
| ) |  |

Construct VolumeExportInfo object.

The volume will be stored in a by-slice manner, where the number of slices equals the depth of the volume. The file names will be enumerated like `name_base+"000"+name_ext`, `name_base+"001"+name_ext` etc. (the actual number of zeros depends on the depth). If the target image type does not support the source voxel type, all slices will be mapped simultaneously to the appropriate target range. The file type will be guessed from the extension unless overridden by setFileType(). Recognized extensions: '.bmp', '.gif', '.jpeg', '.jpg', '.p7', '.png', '.pbm', '.pgm', '.pnm', '.ppm', '.ras', '.tif', '.tiff', '.xv', '.hdr'. JPEG support requires libjpeg, PNG support requires libpng, and TIFF support requires libtiff.

## Member Function Documentation

VolumeExportInfo& setFileNameBase | ( | const char * | name_base | ) |

Set volume file name base.

VolumeExportInfo& setFileNameExt | ( | const char * | name_ext | ) |

Set volume file name extension.

The file type will be guessed from the extension unless overridden by setFileType(). Recognized extensions: '.bmp', '.gif', '.jpeg', '.jpg', '.p7', '.png', '.pbm', '.pgm', '.pnm', '.ppm', '.ras', '.tif', '.tiff', '.xv', '.hdr'. JPEG support requires libjpeg, PNG support requires libpng, and TIFF support requires libtiff.

VolumeExportInfo& setFileType | ( | const char * |  | ) |

Store volume as given file type.

This will override any type guessed from the file name's extension. Recognized file types:

"BMP"
  Microsoft Windows bitmap image file.
"GIF"
  CompuServe graphics interchange format; 8-bit color.
"JPEG"
  Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format; compressed 24-bit color (only available if libjpeg is installed).
"PNG"
  Portable Network Graphic (only available if libpng is installed).
"PBM"
  Portable bitmap format (black and white).
"PGM"
  Portable graymap format (gray scale).
"PNM"
  Portable anymap.
"PPM"
  Portable pixmap format (color).
"SUN"
  SUN Rasterfile.
"TIFF"
  Tagged Image File Format. (only available if libtiff is installed.)
"VIFF"
  Khoros Visualization image file.

With the exception of TIFF, VIFF, PNG, and PNM all file types store 1 byte (gray scale and mapped RGB) or 3 bytes (RGB) per pixel.

PNG can store UInt8 and UInt16 values, and supports 1 and 3 channel images. One additional alpha channel is also supported.

PNM can store 1 and 3 channel images with UInt8, UInt16 and UInt32 values in each channel.

TIFF and VIFF are additionally able to store short and long integers (2 or 4 bytes) and real values (32 bit float and 64 bit double) without conversion. So you will need to use TIFF or VIFF if you need to store images with high accuracy (the appropriate type to write is automatically derived from the image type to be exported). However, many other programs using TIFF (e.g. ImageMagick) have not implemented support for those pixel types. So don't be surprised if the generated TIFF is not readable in some cases. If this happens, export the image as 'unsigned char' or 'RGBValue<unsigned char>' by calling ImageExportInfo::setPixelType().

Support to reading and writing ICC color profiles is provided for TIFF, JPEG, and PNG images.

VolumeExportInfo& setCompression | ( | const char * | type | ) |

Set compression type and quality.

See ImageExportInfo::setCompression() for details.

VolumeExportInfo& setPixelType | ( | const char * |  | ) |

Set the pixel type of the volume file(s). Possible values are:

"UINT8"
  8-bit unsigned integer (unsigned char)
"INT16"
  16-bit signed integer (short)
"UINT16"
  16-bit unsigned integer (unsigned short)
"INT32"
  32-bit signed integer (long)
"UINT32"
  32-bit unsigned integer (unsigned long)
"FLOAT"
  32-bit floating point (float)
"DOUBLE"
  64-bit floating point (double)

const char* getPixelType | ( |  | ) | const

Get the pixel type of the images in the volume. Possible values are:

"UINT8"
  8-bit unsigned integer (unsigned char)
"INT16"
  16-bit signed integer (short)
"INT32"
  32-bit signed integer (long)
"FLOAT"
  32-bit floating point (float)
"DOUBLE"
  64-bit floating point (double)

VolumeExportInfo& setXResolution | ( | float |  | ) |

Set the volume resolution in horizontal direction

VolumeExportInfo& setYResolution | ( | float |  | ) |

Set the image resolution in vertical direction

VolumeExportInfo& setZResolution | ( | float |  | ) |

Set the image resolution in depth direction

VolumeExportInfo& setPosition | ( | const Diff2D & | pos | ) |

Set the position of the upper Left corner on a global canvas.

Currently only supported by TIFF and PNG files.

The offset is encoded in the XPosition and YPosition TIFF tags.

Parameters:

  pos | position of the upper left corner in pixels (must be >= 0)

Diff2D getPosition | ( |  | ) | const

Get the position of the upper left corner on a global canvas.

const ICCProfile& getICCProfile | ( |  | ) | const

Returns a reference to the ICC profile.

VolumeExportInfo& setICCProfile | ( | const ICCProfile & | profile | ) |

Sets the ICC profile. ICC profiles are currently supported by TIFF, PNG and JPEG images. (Otherwise, the profile data is silently ignored.)
