Detailed Description

Libquicktime has a built in colormodel converter, which can do implicit colormodel conversions while en-/decoding. It is, however, far from perfect: It is incomplete (i.e. not all conversions are present), slow and sometimes inaccurate. Therefore, there is a possibility to bypass internal colormodel conversions.

Function Documentation

const char* lqt_colormodel_to_string ( int  colormodel  ) 

Convert a colormodel to a human readable string.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
Returns:
A description of the colormodel

int lqt_string_to_colormodel ( const char *  str  ) 

Convert a description string to a colormodel.

Parameters:
str A colormodel description (as returned by lqt_colormodel_to_string)
Returns:
The corresponding colormodel or LQT_COLORMODEL_NONE

int lqt_colormodel_is_planar ( int  colormodel  ) 

Check if a colormodel is planar.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
Returns:
1 if the colormodel is planar, 0 else

int lqt_colormodel_has_alpha ( int  colormodel  ) 

Check if a colormodel has an alpha (transperency) channel.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
Returns:
1 if the colormodel has an alpha channel, 0 else

int lqt_colormodel_is_rgb ( int  colormodel  ) 

Check, if a colormodel is RGB based.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
Returns:
1 if the colormodel is RGB based, 0 else

int lqt_colormodel_is_yuv ( int  colormodel  ) 

Check, if a colormodel is YUV based.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
Returns:
1 if the colormodel is YUV based, 0 else

void lqt_colormodel_get_chroma_sub ( int  colormodel,
int *  sub_h,
int *  sub_v 
)

Get the chroma subsampling factors.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
sub_h Returns the horizontal subsampling factor
sub_v Returns the vertical subsampling factor

void lqt_get_default_rowspan ( int  colormodel,
int  width,
int *  rowspan,
int *  rowspan_uv 
)

Get the default row span for a colormodel and an image width.

Parameters:
colormodel A colormodel
width Image width
rowspan Returns the rowspan for the luminance (Y) plane
rowspan_uv Returns the rowspan for the chrominance (U/V) planes
The rowspan is the byte offset between scanlines. It can be calculated from the colormodel and the image width. Some APIs however, padd the scanlines to certain boundaries, so the rowspans might become larger here (see lqt_set_row_span and lqt_set_row_span_uv).

int lqt_colormodel_has_conversion ( int  in_cmodel,
int  out_cmodel 
)

Check if a colormodel conversion is supported by libquicktime.

Parameters:
in_cmodel Input colormodel
out_cmodel Output colormodel
Returns:
1 if the requested conversion is possible, 0 else
As noted before, the colormodel converter is not complete, and this function checks it. As a fallback, conversions from and to BC_RGB888 are always supported. If you need a converison, which is not present, contact the authors for hints how to write it :)

int lqt_num_colormodels (  ) 

Get number of supported colormodels.

Returns:
The number of colormodels known to your version of libquicktime

const char* lqt_get_colormodel_string ( int  index  ) 

Get a colormodel string.

Parameters:
index Index of the colormodel (between 0 and the return value of lqt_num_colormodels - 1)
Returns:
A description of the colormodel according to index or NULL.

int lqt_get_colormodel ( int  index  ) 

Get a colormodel.

Parameters:
index Index of the colormodel (between 0 and the return value of lqt_num_colormodels - 1)
Returns:
The colormodel according to index or LQT_COLORMODEL_NONE
