Graphic files

One can :

  • directly create graphic file
  • open existing graphic file
  • add/read/remove text information to graphic file

Types of graphic files :

  • images
    • static images
      • SDR file formats: PNG8, JPG,
      • HDR file formats: FITS, JPEG XR, JPEG XT, Logluv TIFF, exr (OpenEXR), RGBE image format, TIFF, PNG64, AV1
    • moving images
      • video ( ogg file ) - one needs special program ( viewer) to run it
      • animation ( animated gif file without viewer)
  • non-image files

Static images

Digital Image Representation

  • raster
  • vector


Dynamic range of the image

  • LDR
    • standard LDR
    • LDR tone mapped from HDR
    • Pseudo-HDR or Exposure Blending or Exposure fusion = Images that have been merged from several exposures without creating an intermediate HDR image and without the use of tone mapping
  • HDR
    • data = Unprocessed HDR = floating point framebuffer ( in OpenGl GL_RGB16F, GL_RGBA16F, GL_RGB32F, or GL_RGBA32F )
    • AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is an open, royalty-free image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF container format.[


Comparison of graphics file formats

edit

Size and resolution of the image



graphics file formats by precision[2]
Format Supported Bith Depth Use in Animation and VFX
JPEG 8 bit sRGB Preview renders. Use 100% quality. Small file size, fast to load in player. Also as background in 3D or plate for Matchmove. Never as intermediate format TARGA (tga)
TARGA (tga) 8 bit sRGB Very old, but still used in TVC post as intermediate
TIFF 8 and 16 bit sRGB. 32 bit linear float. Standard if intermediate 16-bit integer is required
PNG 8 and 16 bit sRGB. 8 bit Palette-based Standard Web format. Supports lossless, therefore useful
Cineon (dpx, cin) 8, 10, 12, 16 sRGB and logarithmic Used as delivery, intermediate and output format. Standard for telecine and DI grading
Photoshop (psd) 8 and 16 bit sRGB. 32 bit linear float Photoshop work default. Can be used as intermediate delivering layers to next stage
Radiance (hdr) 32 bit linear float Standard format to store HDR images used in Image Based Lighting
OpenEXR (exr) 16 bit linear float. 32 bit linear float The standard for rendering and intermediate in VFX
pfm four byte IEEE 754 single precision floating point extension PFM is supported by the programs Photoshop,[16] GIMP, and ImageMagick. It is supported by the de facto reference implementation netpbm

AVIF

edit

AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is an open, royalty-free image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF container format.[3] It competes with HEIC, which uses the same container format built upon ISOBMFF, but HEVC for compression. Version 1.0.0 of the AVIF specification was finalized in February 2019.

In a number of tests by Netflix in 2020, AVIF showed better compression efficiency than JPEG as well as better detail preservation, fewer blocking artifacts and less color bleeding around hard edges in composites of natural images, text and graphics.[4]


AVIF features

  • Multiple color space, including:
    • HDR (with PQ (transfer function)[5]Template:Failed verification or Hybrid log–gamma (HLG) transfer functions and BT.2020 color primaries, as part of BT.2100)[3]
    • Standard-dynamic-range (SDR) with sRGB / BT.709 / BT.601 or with wide color gamut)
    • Color space signaling via Coding-independent code points(CICP) (ITU-T H.273 and ISO/IEC 23091-2) or ICC profiles[6]
  • Lossless compression and lossy compression
  • 8-, 10-, and 12-bit color depths[6]
  • Monochrome (alpha/depth) or multi-components
  • 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and RGB
  • Film grain[7]
  • Image sequences/animation


flif

High dynamic range file formats

  • AVIF is a file format developed by Alliance for Open Media. It's an open standard which already enjoys fairly broad support in major web browsers for standard images. AVIF offers numerous advantages over JPG
  • PNG has 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16-bit greyscale support and 8 and 16-bit-per-sample (That is, 24 and 48-bit) Truecolour support
  • PFM file - floating point image format for HDR images
  • EXR (OpenEXR): 16-bit OpenEXR files can be considered a good colour precision/file size compromise for the general case[8] OpenEXR has support for color depth using: 16-bit floating-point (half), 32-bit floating-point and 32-bit unsigned integer
  • TIFF
  • RGBE image format or Radiance HDR is an image format invented by Gregory Ward Larson for the Radiance rendering system. It stores pixels as one byte each for RGB (Red, green and blue) values with a one byte shared exponent. Thus it stores four bytes per pixel

The image (expanded): w:Image:tiny6pixel.png

The above image was expanded without interpolation, using the imagemagick command

convert -sample %6400 tiny6pixel.ppm tiny6pixel.png

The P6 format of the same image will store each color component of each pixel with one byte (thus three bytes per pixel) in the order Red, Green then Blue. The file will be smaller but the color information will not be readable by humans:

P6
#any comment string
3 2
255
!@#$%^&*()_+|{}:"<

The PPM format is not compressed and thus requires more space and bandwidth than a compressed format would require. For example, the above 192x128 PNG image has a file size of 187 bytes. When converted to a 192x128 PPM image, the file size is 73848 bytes. The PPM format is generally an intermediate format used for image work before converting to a more efficient format, for example the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. The PPM format can be converted to PNG without loss of information.

The PPM format is certainly simple to write from scratch. The following Python code makes the above example image. It can be adapted to making useful images by reading or constructing an array of numerical data, and programming a conversion of the data to color triplets.

#!/usr/bin/python
triplets=[ [255, 0, 0], [0, 255, 0], [0, 0, 255], [255, 255, 0], [255, 255, 255], [0, 0, 0] ]
width=3; height=2
comment='any comment string'
ftype='P6' #use 'P3' for ascii, 'P6' for binary

ppmfile=open('testimage.ppm','wb')
ppmfile.write("%s\n" % (ftype)) 
ppmfile.write("#%s\n" % comment ) 
ppmfile.write("%d %d\n" % (width, height)) 
ppmfile.write("255\n")

if ftype=='P3':
    for red,green,blue in triplets:
        ppmfile.write("%d %d %d\n" % (red,green,blue)) 
elif ftype=='P6': #print 1 byte per color
    for red,green,blue in triplets:
        ppmfile.write("%c%c%c" % (red,green,blue))

ppmfile.close()

Static array for one color : code in C for creating pgm text file :

#include <stdio.h>

  int iX,iY;
  const int iXmax = 300; 
  const int iYmax = 300;
  /* color  is coded from 0 to 255 */
  /* it is 8 bit color RGB file */
  const int MaxColorComponentValue=255; 
  FILE * fp;
  char *filename="m.pgm";
  char *comment="# this is my new text pgm file ";  /* comment should start with # */
  static unsigned char color;
        
        
        
  /*create new file,give it a name and open it in text mode  */
  fp= fopen(filename,"w"); /*  text mode */
  /*write ASCII header to the file*/
  fprintf(fp,"P2\n%s\n%d %d\n%d\n",comment,iXmax,iYmax,MaxColorComponentValue);
  /*write image data bytes to the file*/
  for(iY=0;iY<iYmax;++iY){
    for(iX=0;iX<iXmax;++iX){         
      color=150;   /* compute  pixel color (8 bit = 1 byte) */
      fprintf(fp," %d ", color);   /*write color to the file*/
    }
    fprintf(fp," \n ");
  }
  fclose(fp);
  printf("OK\n");
  getchar();
  return 0;
}

To compile it :


gcc m.c

To run it :

./a.out

Remember that :

  • fwrite is used for binary files
  • fprintf is used for binary and text files

so if you want to use fwrite then you will get binary file ( even if you will open it in text mode ):

  const int iXmax = 100; 
  const int iYmax = 100;

  const int MaxColorComponentValue=255; /* color component is coded from 0 to 255 ;  it is 8 bit color file */
  FILE * fp;

      data[iY][iX]=255;
    }

C code : virtual 2D array and dynamic 1D array

Here image is a virtual 2D array, but in program we use 1D array.

Relations between indexes :

i = ix + iy*iWidth; // index of 1D array 
ix = i % iWidth;
iy = (i- ix) / iWidth;

Here is whole program where we only check ranges of array's indexes without using explicit array :

#include <stdio.h>

/* --------- global variables ----------------- */

// 2D array 
// Indexes of array starts from 0 not 1 
unsigned int ix, iy;
unsigned int ixMin = 0;
unsigned int ixMax = 3; //
unsigned int iWidth ; // = (ixMax -ixMin + 1) = 4
unsigned int iyMin = 0;
unsigned int iyMax = 3; //
unsigned int iHeight ; //= (iyMax -iyMin + 1) =  4
// The size of array has to be a positive constant integer 
unsigned int i2Dsize ; // = iWidth*iHeight = 16

// 1D array 
unsigned int i; // index of 1D array
unsigned int iMin = 0;
// Indexes of array starts from 0 not 1 so the highest elements of an array is = array_name[size-1].
unsigned int iMax ; // = i2Dsize-1; // = 15
// The size of array has to be a positive constant integer 
unsigned int i1Dsize ; // = i2Dsize  = (iMax -iMin + 1) = 16 ;  1D array with the same size as 2D array

/* ---------- functions ----------------*/

/* gives position of 2D point (iX,iY) in 1D array  ; uses also global variable iWidth */
unsigned int f(unsigned int ix, unsigned int iy)
{ return ix + iy*iWidth; }

/* ---------------------- main ------------------*/
int main()
{

iWidth = (ixMax -ixMin + 1); // 
iHeight = (iyMax -iyMin + 1); //
i2Dsize = iWidth*iHeight; // number of points in array 
iMax = i2Dsize-1; // Indexes of array starts from 0 not 1 so the highest elements of an array is = array_name[size-1].
i1Dsize = i2Dsize; // 1D array with the same size as 2D array

// first method using 1D index i 
for (i=iMin; i<i1Dsize; ++i) printf(" %d \n", i ); // from 0 to 15

// second method using 1D index i 
for (i=iMin; i<=iMax ;  ++i) printf(" %d \n", i ); // from 0 to 15

// check second method using 1D index i
for (i=iMin; i<=iMax ;  ++i)  // i from 0 to 15
 { ix = i % iWidth;
   iy = ( i- ix) / iWidth; // inversion of f function
   printf(" ix = %d ; iy = %d ; i = %d \n",ix , iy , i );}

// using 2D indexes :  iy and ix
for(iy=iyMin;iy<=iyMax;++iy)
  for(ix=ixMin;ix<=ixMax;++ix) printf(" ix = %d ; iy = %d ; i = %d \n", ix, iy, f(ix,iy) );

return 0;

PFM (Portable FloatMap) is the unofficial floating point Netpbm image format for HDR images[10]


Portable Float Map (PFM) format[12]

  • Analogous to PPM / PGM / PBM
  • binary file
  • No compression
  • There are no comments in these files

Structure

  • text header = 3 lines of text. Each of the three lines of text ends with a 1-byte Unix-style carriage return: 0x0a in hex, not the Windows/DOS CR/LF combination.
    • Files begins with type = ASCII characters "PF" or "Pf". PF means it's a color PFM ( 3-channel RGB color imag). Pf means it's a grayscale PFM ( a monochrome single-channel image).
    • next line is resolution : 2 integers = [xres] [yres]" indicates the x and y resolutions of the image
    • last line is contains sigle floating point value: byte_order.
  • data : Three float per pixel ( series of three 4-byte IEEE 754 single precision floating point numbers for each pixel, specified in left to right, bottom to top order )

The text header of a .pfm file takes the following form:

[type]
[xres] [yres]
[byte_order]

Check file using xxd:

   xxd memorial.pfm|head

output :

00000000: 5046 0a35 3132 2037 3638 0a2d 312e 3030  PF.512 768.-1.00

Raw file format:[13]

  • binary file[14], it means tha you cannot open it in the text editor but only in the special program or a hex editor
  • raster file[15]: file "consist of a sequential listing of pixel (data) values, described row by row, beginning with the top row, working left to right. " [16]
  • not compressed
  • the file contains no image formatting information so to work with raw files one should know it's structure and size
  • File size depends only on the image dimensions and pixel data format


Types

  • data ( non color data, need processing)
  • static image ( data = color)
    • non photo image = image created by computer
    • photo = image from digital camera.[17] It need demosaicing

  • channels in TIFF files can be in any IEEE 754 floating-point format too, including the 128 bit one, for 384 bits (48 bytes) per pixel in the RGB, YCbCr and CIE Lab* formats and 512 bits (64 bytes) per pixel in the CMYK format. Same applies to any alpha channel[19]
  • supports lossless compression, in which no image data is lost during the compression process. One can use also uncompressed TIFF image.
  • supports alpha channel (transparency)
  • It supports YCbCr, RGB, CMYK and CIELab color spaces
  • Not supported by all web services or programs
  • slower to open, larger files
  • libtiff - c library and utilities

Dot files are text files describing graphs in dot language. Example file :

digraph "BinaryAddingMachine" {
a [shape=circle]
b [shape=circle]
 a -> a [label="1/1",color=red];
 a -> a [label="2/2",color=blue];
 b -> a [label="1/2",color=red];
 b -> b [label="2/1",color=blue];
}

This file can be converted to other formats using command line program dot. For example, to svg :

dot -Tsvg b.dot -o b.svg

OpenExr - an open and non-proprietary extended and highly dynamic range (HDR) image format, saving both Alpha and Z-depth buffer information.

Description

exr file format

  • standard: OpenExr
  • extension: exr
  • colors are always stored in scene linear color spaces, without any data loss. That makes them suitable to store renders that can later be composited, color graded and converted to different output formats.[20]
  • Files can also contain data that is not actually a color. For example normal or displacement maps merely contain vectors and offsets. Such images should be marked as Non-Color Data so that no color space conversion happens on them.

Animated gif

edit

Convert pgm ( or other ) static files into animated gif using BASH and Image Magic :[22]

#!/bin/bash

# script file for BASH 
# which bash
# save this file as g
# chmod +x g
# ./g

# for all pgm files in this directory
for file in *.pgm ; do
  # b is name of file without extension
  b=$(basename $file .pgm)
  # convert from pgm to gif and add text ( level ) using ImageMagic
  convert $file -pointsize 100 -annotate +10+100 $b ${b}.gif
  echo $file
done

# convert gif files to animated gif
convert -delay 100   -loop 0 %d.gif[0-24] a24.gif

echo OK
# end

or another version by ClaudiusMaximus[23]

for i in ??.svg
do
  rsvg $i ${i%svg}png
  convert ${i%svg}png ${i%svg}gif
done
gifsicle --delay 4 --loop --optimize ??.gif > out.gif

Don't forget about : 12.5MP limit = 500 x 500 x 50 frames = 600 x 600 x 34 frames = 1000 x 1000 x 12 frames

Steps from pgm to video using Image Magic convert :

  • pgm files to gif files
  • gif files to video


convert -delay 100   -loop 0 %d.gif[0-25] a25.mpg
#!/bin/bash
 
# script file for BASH 
# which bash
# save this file as g
# chmod +x g
# ./g

i=0
# for all pgm files in this directory
for file in *.pgm ; do
  # b is name of file without extension
  b=$(basename $file .pgm)
  # change file name to integers and count files
  ((i= i+1))
  # convert from pgm to gif and add text ( Cx from name of file ) using ImageMagic
  convert $file -pointsize 50 -annotate +10+100 $b ${i}.gif
  echo $file
done
 
echo convert all gif files to one ogv file
ffmpeg2theora %d.gif --framerate 12 --videoquality 9  -o output129.ogv

echo b${i} OK
# end

WebM

edit

One can made a video from images. For examp

e creating WebM video files using ffmpeg [24][25]


ffmpeg -i x%08d.png -r 24 tifa.webm

or ffmpeg2theora:

ffmpeg2theora %d.gif --framerate 5 --videoquality 9 -f webm --artist "your name" -o otput.webm

If you use files names containing parameter ( here Cx ), then it would be easy to sort files and make video :

  char name [10]; /* name of file */
  i = sprintf(name,"%2.7f",Cx); /* result (is saved in i) but is not used */
  char *filename =strcat(name,".pgm"); /* new name thru concatenate of  strings  */
  • video file in YUV4Mpeg format
  • raw video before compressing into other formats[26]

Comment

edit

Using Image Magic :

  • comment
  • escape [29]

Image Magic one can add comment to png image using mogrify :[30]


mogrify -comment "My test comment" p.png

or using convert :[31]

convert in.png \
        -set 'Copyright' 'CC-BY-SA 4.0' \
        -set 'Title' 'A wonderful day' \
        -set comment 'Photo taken while running' \
        out.png

To read comment from png :

identify -verbose p.png  | grep -i "comment:"
   comment: My test comment

or :

identify -format "%c" X.ppm

Chunk

edit

A chunk is a fragment of information which is used in many multimedia formats, such as PNG, IFF, MP3 and AVI. Each chunk contains a header which indicates some parameters (e.g. the type of chunk, comments, size etc.) In the middle there is a variable area containing data which are decoded by the program from the parameters in the header.[32]

Text chunk is one of standard ancillary PNG chunks. Its name is a tEXt.[33]

Standard keywords for PNG text chunks:

   Title            Short (one line) title or caption for image
   Author           Name of image's creator
   Description      Description of image (possibly long)
   Copyright        Copyright notice
   Creation Time    Time of original image creation
   Software         Software used to create the image
   Disclaimer       Legal disclaimer
   Warning          Warning of nature of content
   Source           Device used to create the image
   Comment          Miscellaneous comment; conversion from GIF comment

The ancillary chunks currently known to ImageMagick are bKGD, cHRM, gAMA, iCCP, oFFs, pHYs, sRGB, tEXt, tRNS, vpAg, and zTXt.

Example with convert from Image Magic :

convert in.png -define png:include-chunk=tEXt file.txt out.png

On can use pnmtopng utility :

pnmtopng -text file.txt 1000.pgm > 1000.png

where text file file.txt is :

Title            Short (one line) title or caption for image
Author           Name of image's creator
Description      Description of image (possibly long)
Copyright        Copyright notice

  • it does not opens asci versions of these files.

It can be used to check image by checking output in console as mouse moves. Add your code to Motion function and update Zxmin and Zymin ( world coordinate).

It not works for newest version of OpenGl.

3.2 Conventions

In developing the freeglut library, we have taken careful steps to ensure consistency in function operation across the board, 
in such a manner as to maintain compatibility with GLUT's behavior whenever possible. In this section some of the important conventions of FreeGLUT, 
and their compatibility with GLUT, are made explicit.

3.2.1 Window placement and size

There is considerable confusion about the "right thing to do" concerning window size and position. GLUT itself is not consistent between Windows and UNIX/X11; 
since platform independence is a virtue for freeglut, we decided to break with GLUT's behaviour. 
Under UNIX/X11, it is apparently not possible to get the window border sizes in order to subtract them off the window's initial position until some time after the window has been created. 
Therefore we decided on the following behavior, both under Windows and under UNIX/X11:

When you create a window with position (x,y) and size (w,h), the upper left hand corner of the outside of the window (the non-client area) is at (x,y) and the size of the drawable (client) area is (w,h). 
The coordinates taken by glutInitPosition and glutPositionWindow, as well as the coordinates provided by FreeGLUT when it calls the glutPositionFunc callback, specify the top-left of the non-client area of the window.
When you query the size and position of the window using glutGet, FreeGLUT will return the size of the drawable area
--the (w,h) that you specified when you created the window
--and the coordinates of the upper left hand corner of the drawable (client) area
--which is NOT the (x,y) position of the window you specified when you created it.
