# stumpy_png
[![CI](https://github.com/stumpycr/stumpy_png/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/stumpycr/stumpy_png/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

[Documentation](https://docs.leonrische.me/stumpy_png/)

## Interface

* `StumpyPNG.read(path : String) : Canvas` read a PNG image file from a path
* `StumpyPNG.read(io : IO) : Canvas` read a PNG image file from any IO object
* `StumpyPNG.write(canvas, path : String, bit_depth: 16, color_type: :rgb_alpha)` save a canvas as a PNG image file
* `StumpyPNG.write(canvas, io : IO, bit_depth: 16, color_type: :rgb_alpha)` write a canvas as PNG data to any IO object
* `bit_depth` is optional, valid values are `8` and `16`(default)
* `color_type` is optional, valid values are `:grayscale`, `:grayscale_alpha`, `:rgb` and `:rgb_alpha`(default)
* `StumpyPNG::PNG`, helper class to store some state while parsing PNG files
* `Canvas` and `RGBA` from [stumpy_core](https://github.com/stumpycr/stumpy_core)

## Usage

### Install the `stumpy_png` shard

1. `shards init`
2. Add the dependency to the `shard.yml` file
``` yaml
...
dependencies:
stumpy_png:
github: stumpycr/stumpy_png
version: "~> 5.0"
...
```
3. `shards install`

### Reading

``` crystal
require "stumpy_png"

canvas = StumpyPNG.read("foo.png")
r, g, b = canvas[0, 0].to_rgb8
puts "red=#{r}, green=#{g}, blue=#{b}"
```

### Writing

``` crystal
require "stumpy_png"
include StumpyPNG

canvas = Canvas.new(256, 256)

(0..255).each do |x|
(0..255).each do |y|
# RGBA.from_rgb_n(values, bit_depth) is an internal helper method
# that creates an RGBA object from a rgb triplet with a given bit depth
color = RGBA.from_rgb_n(x, y, 255, 8)
canvas[x, y] = color
end
end

StumpyPNG.write(canvas, "rainbow.png")
```

## Reading PNG files

### Color Types

- [x] Grayscale
- [x] Grayscale + Alpha
- [x] RGB
- [x] RGB + Alpha
- [x] Palette

### Filter Types

- [x] None
- [x] Sub
- [x] Up
- [x] Average
- [x] Paeth

### Interlacing Methods

- [x] None
- [x] Adam7

### Ancillary Chunks

None are supported right now.

## Writing

* RGB with 8 or 16 bits
* RGB + Alpha with 8 or 16 bits
* Grayscale with 8 or 16 bits
* Grayscale + Alpha with 8 or 16 bits

## Troubleshooting

If you run into errors like

```bash
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```

make sure `zlib` is installed
