Detailed Description

Quantizer base class.

Library: display

This class provides methods to convert true color images to indexed images. This is a virtual class that must be subclassed. This class knows how to remap true colors to indexed colors using a dithering method called Floyd-Steinberg diffusion, leading to high quality images, even with few colors.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvColorMap* IlvQuantizer::computeColorMap ( const IlvBitmapData data,
IlUInt  numcols 
)
pure virtual

Computes the colormap from the original true color bitmap data.

Parameters
dataThe original true color bitmap data.
numcolsThe requested number of colors.
Returns
The computed colormap.

Implemented in IlvFixedQuantizer, and IlvWUQuantizer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvQuantizer::hasDithering ( ) const
virtual

Returns whether the instance uses Floyd-Steinberg dithering.

Returns
IlTrue if the instance uses Floyd-Steinberg dithering.
virtual IlvIndexedBitmapData* IlvQuantizer::quantize ( const IlvBitmapData data,
IlUInt  numcols 
)
virtual

Creates indexed bitmap data from true color bitmap data using the requested number of colors (this number can be ignored by the actual quantizer). The default implementation calls computeColorMap and then remap.

Parameters
dataThe true color bitmap data.
numcolsThe requested number of colors.
Returns
The computed indexed bitmap data.
virtual IlvIndexedBitmapData* IlvQuantizer::remap ( const IlvBitmapData data,
const IlvColorMap colormap,
IlBoolean  fsdither = IlTrue 
)
virtual

Remaps the true colors to the indexed colors.

Parameters
dataThe original true color bitmap data.
colormapThe colormap to remap the bitmap data to.
fsditherAn IlBoolean value to indicate whether or not to use Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion.
Returns
The computed indexed bitmap data.

Reimplemented in IlvQuickQuantizer.

void IlvQuantizer::setDithering ( IlBoolean  dither)

Sets whether the instance uses Floyd-Steinberg dithering.

Parameters
ditherAn IlBoolean indicating whether dithering is performed.
