To supply your own malloc implementation 55 you can define QOI_MALLOC and QOI_FREE before including this library. 56 57 This library uses memset() to zero-initialize the index. To supply your own 58 implementation you can define QOI_ZEROARR before including this library. 59 60 61 -- Data Format 62 63 A QOI file has a 14 byte header, followed by any number of data "chunks" and an 64 8-byte end marker. 65 66 struct qoi_header_t { 67 char magic[4]; // magic bytes "qoif" 68 uint32_t width; // image width in pixels (BE) 69 uint32_t height; // image height in pixels (BE) 70 uint8_t channels; // 3 = RGB, 4 = RGBA 71 uint8_t colorspace; // 0 = sRGB with linear alpha, 1 = all channels linear 72 }; 73 74 Images are encoded row by row, left to right, top to bottom. The decoder and 75 encoder start with {r: 0, g: 0, b: 0, a: 255} as the previous pixel value. An 76 image is complete when all pixels specified by width * height have been covered. 77 78 Pixels are encoded as 79 - a run of the previous pixel 80 - an index into an array of previously seen pixels 81 - a difference to the previous pixel value in r,g,b 82 - full r,g,b or r,g,b,a values 83 84 The color channels are assumed to not be premultiplied with the alpha channel 85 ("un-premultiplied alpha"). 86 87 A running array[64] (zero-initialized) of previously seen pixel values is 88 maintained by the encoder and decoder. Each pixel that is seen by the encoder 89 and decoder is put into this array at the position formed by a hash function of 90 the color value. In the encoder, if the pixel value at the index matches the 91 current pixel, this index position is written to the stream as QOI_OP_INDEX. 92 The hash function for the index is: 93 94 index_position = (r * 3 + g * 5 + b * 7 + a * 11) % 64 95 96 Each chunk starts with a 2- or 8-bit tag, followed by a number of data bits. The 97 bit length of chunks is divisible by 8 - i.e. all chunks are byte aligned. All 98 values encoded in these data bits have the most significant bit on the left. 99 100 The 8-bit tags have precedence over the 2-bit tags. A decoder must check for the 101 presence of an 8-bit tag first. 102 103 The byte stream's end is marked with 7 0x00 bytes followed a single 0x01 byte. 104 105 106 The possible chunks are: 107 108 109 .- QOI_OP_INDEX ----------. 110 | Byte[0] | 111 | 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | 112 |-------+-----------------| 113 | 0 0 | index | 114 `-------------------------` 115 2-bit tag b00 116 6-bit index into the color index array: 0..63 117 118 A valid encoder must not issue 2 or more consecutive QOI_OP_INDEX chunks to the 119 same index. QOI_OP_RUN should be used instead. 120 121 122 .- QOI_OP_DIFF -----------. 123 | Byte[0] | 124 | 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | 125 |-------+-----+-----+-----| 126 | 0 1 | dr | dg | db | 127 `-------------------------` 128 2-bit tag b01 129 2-bit red channel difference from the previous pixel between -2..1 130 2-bit green channel difference from the previous pixel between -2..1 131 2-bit blue channel difference from the previous pixel between -2..1 132 133 The difference to the current channel values are using a wraparound operation, 134 so "1 - 2" will result in 255, while "255 + 1" will result in 0. 135 136 Values are stored as unsigned integers with a bias of 2. E.g. -2 is stored as 137 0 (b00). 1 is stored as 3 (b11). 138 139 The alpha value remains unchanged from the previous pixel. 140 141 142 .- QOI_OP_LUMA -------------------------------------. 143 | Byte[0] | Byte[1] | 144 | 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | 145 |-------+-----------------+-------------+-----------| 146 | 1 0 | green diff | dr - dg | db - dg | 147 `---------------------------------------------------` 148 2-bit tag b10 149 6-bit green channel difference from the previous pixel -32..31 150 4-bit red channel difference minus green channel difference -8..7 151 4-bit blue channel difference minus green channel difference -8..7 152 153 The green channel is used to indicate the general direction of change and is 154 encoded in 6 bits. The red and blue channels (dr and db) base their diffs off 155 of the green channel difference and are encoded in 4 bits. I.e.: 156 dr_dg = (cur_px.r - prev_px.r) - (cur_px.g - prev_px.g) 157 db_dg = (cur_px.b - prev_px.b) - (cur_px.g - prev_px.g) 158 159 The difference to the current channel values are using a wraparound operation, 160 so "10 - 13" will result in 253, while "250 + 7" will result in 1. 161 162 Values are stored as unsigned integers with a bias of 32 for the green channel 163 and a bias of 8 for the red and blue channel. 164 165 The alpha value remains unchanged from the previous pixel. 166 167 168 .- QOI_OP_RUN ------------. 169 | Byte[0] | 170 | 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | 171 |-------+-----------------| 172 | 1 1 | run | 173 `-------------------------` 174 2-bit tag b11 175 6-bit run-length repeating the previous pixel: 1..62 176 177 The run-length is stored with a bias of -1.
