Description:

============

WebPMux: set of two libraries 'Mux' and 'Demux' for creation, extraction and

manipulation of an extended format WebP file, which can have features like

color profile, metadata and animation. Reference command-line tools 'webpmux'

and 'vwebp' as well as the WebP container specification

'doc/webp-container-spec.txt' are also provided in this package.

WebP Mux tool:

==============

The examples/ directory contains a tool (webpmux) for manipulating WebP

files. The webpmux tool can be used to create an extended format WebP file and

also to extract or strip relevant data from such a file.

A list of options is available using the -help command line flag:

> webpmux -help

Usage: webpmux -get GET_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT

       webpmux -set SET_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT

       webpmux -duration DURATION_OPTIONS [-duration ...]

               INPUT -o OUTPUT

       webpmux -strip STRIP_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT

       webpmux -frame FRAME_OPTIONS [-frame...] [-loop LOOP_COUNT]

               [-bgcolor BACKGROUND_COLOR] -o OUTPUT

       webpmux -info INPUT

       webpmux [-h|-help]

       webpmux -version

       webpmux argument_file_name

GET_OPTIONS:

 Extract relevant data:

   icc       get ICC profile

   exif      get EXIF metadata

   xmp       get XMP metadata

   frame n   get nth frame

SET_OPTIONS:

 Set color profile/metadata:

   icc  file.icc     set ICC profile

   exif file.exif    set EXIF metadata

   xmp  file.xmp     set XMP metadata

   where:    'file.icc' contains the ICC profile to be set,

             'file.exif' contains the EXIF metadata to be set

             'file.xmp' contains the XMP metadata to be set

DURATION_OPTIONS:

 Set duration of selected frames:

   duration            set duration for each frames

   duration,frame      set duration of a particular frame

   duration,start,end  set duration of frames in the

                        interval [start,end])

   where: 'duration' is the duration in milliseconds

          'start' is the start frame index

          'end' is the inclusive end frame index

           The special 'end' value '0' means: last frame.

STRIP_OPTIONS:

 Strip color profile/metadata:

   icc       strip ICC profile

   exif      strip EXIF metadata

   xmp       strip XMP metadata

FRAME_OPTIONS(i):

 Create animation:

   file_i +di+[xi+yi[+mi[bi]]]

   where:    'file_i' is the i'th animation frame (WebP format),

             'di' is the pause duration before next frame,

             'xi','yi' specify the image offset for this frame,

             'mi' is the dispose method for this frame (0 or 1),

             'bi' is the blending method for this frame (+b or -b)

LOOP_COUNT:

 Number of times to repeat the animation.

 Valid range is 0 to 65535 [Default: 0 (infinite)].

BACKGROUND_COLOR:

 Background color of the canvas.

  A,R,G,B

  where:    'A', 'R', 'G' and 'B' are integers in the range 0 to 255 specifying

            the Alpha, Red, Green and Blue component values respectively

            [Default: 255,255,255,255]

INPUT & OUTPUT are in WebP format.

Note: The nature of EXIF, XMP and ICC data is not checked and is assumed to be

valid.

Note: if a single file name is passed as the argument, the arguments will be

tokenized from this file. The file name must not start with the character '-'.

Visualization tool:

===================

The examples/ directory also contains a tool (vwebp) for viewing WebP files.

It decodes the image and visualizes it using OpenGL. See the libwebp README

for details on building and running this program.

Mux API:

========

The Mux API contains methods for adding data to and reading data from WebP

files. This API currently supports XMP/EXIF metadata, ICC profile and animation.

Other features may be added in subsequent releases.

Example#1 (pseudo code): Creating a WebPMux object with image data, color

profile and XMP metadata.

  int copy_data = 0;

  WebPMux* mux = WebPMuxNew();

  // ... (Prepare image data).

  WebPMuxSetImage(mux, &image, copy_data);

  // ... (Prepare ICC profile data).

  WebPMuxSetChunk(mux, "ICCP", &icc_profile, copy_data);

  // ... (Prepare XMP metadata).

  WebPMuxSetChunk(mux, "XMP ", &xmp, copy_data);

  // Get data from mux in WebP RIFF format.

  WebPMuxAssemble(mux, &output_data);

  WebPMuxDelete(mux);

  // ... (Consume output_data; e.g. write output_data.bytes to file).

  WebPDataClear(&output_data);

Example#2 (pseudo code): Get image and color profile data from a WebP file.

  int copy_data = 0;

  // ... (Read data from file).

  WebPMux* mux = WebPMuxCreate(&data, copy_data);

  WebPMuxGetFrame(mux, 1, &image);

  // ... (Consume image; e.g. call WebPDecode() to decode the data).

  WebPMuxGetChunk(mux, "ICCP", &icc_profile);

  // ... (Consume icc_profile).

  WebPMuxDelete(mux);

  free(data);

For a detailed Mux API reference, please refer to the header file

(src/webp/mux.h).

Demux API:

==========

The Demux API enables extraction of images and extended format data from

WebP files. This API currently supports reading of XMP/EXIF metadata, ICC

profile and animated images. Other features may be added in subsequent

releases.

Code example: Demuxing WebP data to extract all the frames, ICC profile

and EXIF/XMP metadata.

  WebPDemuxer* demux = WebPDemux(&webp_data);

  uint32_t width = WebPDemuxGetI(demux, WEBP_FF_CANVAS_WIDTH);

  uint32_t height = WebPDemuxGetI(demux, WEBP_FF_CANVAS_HEIGHT);

  // ... (Get information about the features present in the WebP file).

  uint32_t flags = WebPDemuxGetI(demux, WEBP_FF_FORMAT_FLAGS);

  // ... (Iterate over all frames).

  WebPIterator iter;

  if (WebPDemuxGetFrame(demux, 1, &iter)) {

    do {

      // ... (Consume 'iter'; e.g. Decode 'iter.fragment' with WebPDecode(),

      // ... and get other frame properties like width, height, offsets etc.

      // ... see 'struct WebPIterator' below for more info).

    } while (WebPDemuxNextFrame(&iter));

    WebPDemuxReleaseIterator(&iter);

  }

  // ... (Extract metadata).

  WebPChunkIterator chunk_iter;

  if (flags & ICCP_FLAG) WebPDemuxGetChunk(demux, "ICCP", 1, &chunk_iter);

  // ... (Consume the ICC profile in 'chunk_iter.chunk').

  WebPDemuxReleaseChunkIterator(&chunk_iter);

  if (flags & EXIF_FLAG) WebPDemuxGetChunk(demux, "EXIF", 1, &chunk_iter);

  // ... (Consume the EXIF metadata in 'chunk_iter.chunk').

  WebPDemuxReleaseChunkIterator(&chunk_iter);

  if (flags & XMP_FLAG) WebPDemuxGetChunk(demux, "XMP ", 1, &chunk_iter);

  // ... (Consume the XMP metadata in 'chunk_iter.chunk').

  WebPDemuxReleaseChunkIterator(&chunk_iter);

  WebPDemuxDelete(demux);

For a detailed Demux API reference, please refer to the header file

(src/webp/demux.h).

AnimEncoder API:

================

The AnimEncoder API can be used to create animated WebP images.

Code example:

  WebPAnimEncoderOptions enc_options;

  WebPAnimEncoderOptionsInit(&enc_options);

  // ... (Tune 'enc_options' as needed).

  WebPAnimEncoder* enc = WebPAnimEncoderNew(width, height, &enc_options);

  while(<there are more frames>) {

    WebPConfig config;

    WebPConfigInit(&config);

    // ... (Tune 'config' as needed).

    WebPAnimEncoderAdd(enc, frame, duration, &config);

  }

  WebPAnimEncoderAssemble(enc, webp_data);

  WebPAnimEncoderDelete(enc);

  // ... (Write the 'webp_data' to a file, or re-mux it further).

For a detailed AnimEncoder API reference, please refer to the header file

(src/webp/mux.h).
