Detailed Description

Imlib2 library API

Function Documentation

◆ imlib_add_color_to_color_range()

EAPI void imlib_add_color_to_color_range ( int distance_away )

Add color to color range

Adds the current color to the current color range at a distance_away distance from the previous color in the range (if it's the first color in the range this is irrelevant).

Parameters

distance_away Distance from the previous color

◆ imlib_add_path_to_font_path()

EAPI void imlib_add_path_to_font_path ( const char * path )

Add font path

Adds the directory path to the end of the current list of directories to scan for fonts.

Parameters

path	A directory path

◆ imlib_apply_color_modifier()

EAPI void imlib_apply_color_modifier ( void )

Apply color modifier to image

Uses the current color modifier mapping tables to modify the current image.

◆ imlib_apply_color_modifier_to_rectangle()

EAPI void imlib_apply_color_modifier_to_rectangle	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	width,
		int	height )

Apply color modifier to image part

Works the same way as imlib_apply_color_modifier() but only modifies a selected rectangle in the current image.

Parameters

x	The x coordinate of the left edge of the rectangle
y	The y coordinate of the top edge of the rectangle
width	The width of the rectangle
height	The height of the rectangle

◆ imlib_blend_image_onto_image()

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image	(	Imlib_Image	src_image,
		char	merge_alpha,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int	src_width,
		int	src_height,
		int	dst_x,
		int	dst_y,
		int	dst_width,
		int	dst_height )

Blend part of image onto image

Blends the source rectangle (src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height) from src_image onto the current image at the destination (dst_x, dst_y) location scaled to the width dst_width and height * dst_height. If merge_alpha is set to 1 it will also modify the destination image alpha channel, otherwise the destination alpha channel is left untouched.

Parameters

src_image	The source image
merge_alpha	Alpha flag
src_x	X coordinate of the source image
src_y	Y coordinate of the source image
src_width	Width of the source image
src_height	Height of the source image
dst_x	X coordinate of the destination image
dst_y	Y coordinate of the destination image
dst_width	Width of the destination image
dst_height	Height of the destination image

◆ imlib_blend_image_onto_image_at_angle()

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image_at_angle	(	Imlib_Image	src_image,
		char	merge_alpha,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int	src_width,
		int	src_height,
		int	dst_x,
		int	dst_y,
		int	angle_x,
		int	angle_y )

Blend image onto image at angle

Works just like imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed() except you cannot skew an image (v_angle_x and v_angle_y are 0).

Parameters

src_image	The image source
merge_alpha	A char
src_x	The source x coordinate
src_y	The source y coordinate
src_width	The source width
src_height	The source height
dst_x	The destination x coordinate
dst_y	The destination y coordinate
angle_x	An angle
angle_y	An angle

◆ imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed()

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed	(	Imlib_Image	src_image,
		char	merge_alpha,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int	src_width,
		int	src_height,
		int	dst_x,
		int	dst_y,
		int	h_angle_x,
		int	h_angle_y,
		int	v_angle_x,
		int	v_angle_y )

Blend image onto image at angle, skewed

Blends the source rectangle (src_x, src_y, src_width, * src_height) from the src_image onto the current image at the destination (dst_x, dst_y) location. It will be rotated and scaled so that the upper right corner will be positioned h_angle_x pixels to the right (or left, if negative) and h_angle_y pixels down (from (dst_x, dst_y). If v_angle_x and v_angle_y are not 0, the image will also be skewed so that the lower left corner will be positioned v_angle_x pixels to the right and v_angle_y pixels down. The at_angle versions simply have the v_angle_x and v_angle_y set to 0 so the rotation doesn't get skewed, and the render_..._on_drawable ones seem obvious enough; they do the same on a drawable.

Example:

imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 0, 0, 100, 0, 0, 100);

imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed

EAPI void imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(Imlib_Image src_image, char merge_alpha, int src_x, int src_y, int src_width, int src_height, int dst_x, int dst_y, int h_angle_x, int h_angle_y, int v_angle_x, int v_angle_y)

will simply scale the image to be 100x100.

imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 0, 0, 0, 100, 100, 0);

will scale the image to be 100x100, and flip it diagonally.

imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 100, 0, 0, 100, -100, 0);

will scale the image and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.

imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 50, 0, 50, 50, -50, 50);

will rotate the image 45 degrees clockwise, and will scale it so its corners are at (50,0)-(100,50)-(50,100)-(0,50) i.e. it fits into the 100x100 square, so it's scaled down to 70.7% (sqrt(2)/2).

imlib_blend_image_onto_image_skewed(..., 50, 50, 100 * cos(a), 100 * sin(a), 0);

will rotate the image ‘a’ degrees, with its upper left corner at (50,50).

Parameters

src_image	The source image
merge_alpha	A char
src_x	The source x coordinate
src_y	The source y coordinate
src_width	The source width
src_height	The source height
dst_x	The destination x coordinate
dst_y	The destination y coordinate
h_angle_x	An angle
h_angle_y	An angle
v_angle_x	An angle
v_angle_y	An angle

◆ imlib_clone_image()

EAPI Imlib_Image imlib_clone_image ( void )

◆ imlib_context_disconnect_display()

EAPI void imlib_context_disconnect_display ( void )

Tell Imlib2 that the current display connection has been closed

Call when (and only when) you close a display connection but continue using Imlib2 on a different connection.

◆ imlib_context_free()

EAPI void imlib_context_free ( Imlib_Context context )

Free context

◆ imlib_context_get()

◆ imlib_context_set_operation()

EAPI void imlib_context_set_operation ( Imlib_Operation operation )

Set drawing operation

When Imlib2 draws an image onto another or an image onto a drawable it is able to do more than just blend the result on using the given alpha channel of the image. It is also able to do saturating additive, subtractive and a combination of the both (called reshade) rendering. The default mode is IMLIB_OP_COPY. you can also set it to IMLIB_OP_ADD, IMLIB_OP_SUBTRACT or IMLIB_OP_RESHADE. IMLIB_OP_COPY performs basic alpha blending: DST = (SRC * A) + (DST * (1 - A)). IMLIB_OP_ADD does DST = DST + (SRC * A). IMLIB_OP_SUBTRACT does DST = DST - (SRC * A) IMLIB_OP_RESHADE does DST = DST + (((SRC - * 0.5) / 2) * A).
