36
*-- The first byte of each Tight-encoded rectangle is a "compression control
37
* byte". Its format is as follows (bit 0 is the least significant one):
39
* bit 0: if 1, then compression stream 0 should be reset;
40
* bit 1: if 1, then compression stream 1 should be reset;
41
* bit 2: if 1, then compression stream 2 should be reset;
42
* bit 3: if 1, then compression stream 3 should be reset;
43
* bits 7-4: if 1000 (0x08), then the compression type is "fill",
44
* if 1001 (0x09), then the compression type is "jpeg",
45
* if 1010 (0x0A), then the compression type is "png",
46
* if 0xxx, then the compression type is "basic",
47
* values greater than 1010 are not valid.
49
* If the compression type is "basic", then bits 6..4 of the
50
* compression control byte (those xxx in 0xxx) specify the following:
52
* bits 5-4: decimal representation is the index of a particular zlib
53
* stream which should be used for decompressing the data;
54
* bit 6: if 1, then a "filter id" byte is following this byte.
56
*-- The data that follows after the compression control byte described
57
* above depends on the compression type ("fill", "jpeg", "png" or "basic").
59
*-- If the compression type is "fill", then the only pixel value follows, in
60
* client pixel format (see NOTE 1). This value applies to all pixels of the
63
*-- If the compression type is "jpeg" or "png", the following data stream
66
* 1..3 bytes: data size (N) in compact representation;
67
* N bytes: JPEG or PNG image.
69
* Data size is compactly represented in one, two or three bytes, according
70
* to the following scheme:
72
* 0xxxxxxx (for values 0..127)
73
* 1xxxxxxx 0yyyyyyy (for values 128..16383)
74
* 1xxxxxxx 1yyyyyyy zzzzzzzz (for values 16384..4194303)
76
* Here each character denotes one bit, xxxxxxx are the least significant 7
77
* bits of the value (bits 0-6), yyyyyyy are bits 7-13, and zzzzzzzz are the
78
* most significant 8 bits (bits 14-21). For example, decimal value 10000
79
* should be represented as two bytes: binary 10010000 01001110, or
82
*-- If the compression type is "basic" and bit 6 of the compression control
83
* byte was set to 1, then the next (second) byte specifies "filter id" which
84
* tells the decoder what filter type was used by the encoder to pre-process
85
* pixel data before the compression. The "filter id" byte can be one of the
88
* 0: no filter ("copy" filter);
89
* 1: "palette" filter;
90
* 2: "gradient" filter.
92
*-- If bit 6 of the compression control byte is set to 0 (no "filter id"
93
* byte), or if the filter id is 0, then raw pixel values in the client
94
* format (see NOTE 1) will be compressed. See below details on the
97
*-- The "gradient" filter pre-processes pixel data with a simple algorithm
98
* which converts each color component to a difference between a "predicted"
99
* intensity and the actual intensity. Such a technique does not affect
100
* uncompressed data size, but helps to compress photo-like images better.
101
* Pseudo-code for converting intensities to differences is the following:
103
* P[i,j] := V[i-1,j] + V[i,j-1] - V[i-1,j-1];
104
* if (P[i,j] < 0) then P[i,j] := 0;
105
* if (P[i,j] > MAX) then P[i,j] := MAX;
106
* D[i,j] := V[i,j] - P[i,j];
108
* Here V[i,j] is the intensity of a color component for a pixel at
109
* coordinates (i,j). MAX is the maximum value of intensity for a color
112
*-- The "palette" filter converts true-color pixel data to indexed colors
113
* and a palette which can consist of 2..256 colors. If the number of colors
114
* is 2, then each pixel is encoded in 1 bit, otherwise 8 bits is used to
115
* encode one pixel. 1-bit encoding is performed such way that the most
116
* significant bits correspond to the leftmost pixels, and each raw of pixels
117
* is aligned to the byte boundary. When "palette" filter is used, the
118
* palette is sent before the pixel data. The palette begins with an unsigned
119
* byte which value is the number of colors in the palette minus 1 (i.e. 1
120
* means 2 colors, 255 means 256 colors in the palette). Then follows the
121
* palette itself which consist of pixel values in client pixel format (see
124
*-- The pixel data is compressed using the zlib library. But if the data
125
* size after applying the filter but before the compression is less then 12,
126
* then the data is sent as is, uncompressed. Four separate zlib streams
127
* (0..3) can be used and the decoder should read the actual stream id from
128
* the compression control byte (see NOTE 2).
130
* If the compression is not used, then the pixel data is sent as is,
131
* otherwise the data stream looks like this:
133
* 1..3 bytes: data size (N) in compact representation;
134
* N bytes: zlib-compressed data.
136
* Data size is compactly represented in one, two or three bytes, just like
137
* in the "jpeg" compression method (see above).
139
*-- NOTE 1. If the color depth is 24, and all three color components are
140
* 8-bit wide, then one pixel in Tight encoding is always represented by
141
* three bytes, where the first byte is red component, the second byte is
142
* green component, and the third byte is blue component of the pixel color
143
* value. This applies to colors in palettes as well.
145
*-- NOTE 2. The decoder must reset compression streams' states before
146
* decoding the rectangle, if some of bits 0,1,2,3 in the compression control
147
* byte are set to 1. Note that the decoder must reset zlib streams even if
148
* the compression type is "fill", "jpeg" or "png".
150
*-- NOTE 3. The "gradient" filter and "jpeg" compression may be used only
151
* when bits-per-pixel value is either 16 or 32, not 8.
153
*-- NOTE 4. The width of any Tight-encoded rectangle cannot exceed 2048
154
* pixels. If a rectangle is wider, it must be split into several rectangles
155
* and each one should be encoded separately.
