vips_thing_new ()

VipsThing *
vips_thing_new (int i);

vips_area_copy ()

VipsArea *
vips_area_copy (VipsArea *area);

vips_area_free_cb ()

int
vips_area_free_cb (void *mem,
                   VipsArea *area);

vips_area_unref ()

void
vips_area_unref (VipsArea *area);

vips_area_new ()

VipsArea *
vips_area_new (VipsCallbackFn free_fn,
               void *data);

A VipsArea wraps a chunk of memory. It adds reference counting and a free function. It also keeps a count and a GType, so the area can be an array.

This type is used for things like passing an array of double or an array of VipsObject pointers to operations, and for reference-counted immutable strings.

Inital count == 1, so _unref() after attaching somewhere.

See also: vips_area_unref().

vips_area_new_array ()

VipsArea *
vips_area_new_array (GType type,
                     size_t sizeof_type,
                     int n);

An area which holds an array of elements of some GType. To set values for the elements, get the pointer and write.

See also: vips_area_unref().

vips_area_new_array_object ()

VipsArea *
vips_area_new_array_object (int n);

An area which holds an array of GObject s. See vips_area_new_array(). When the area is freed, each GObject will be unreffed.

Add an extra NULL element at the end, handy for eg. vips_image_pipeline_array() etc.

See also: vips_area_unref().

vips_area_get_data ()

void *
vips_area_get_data (VipsArea *area,
                    size_t *length,
                    int *n,
                    GType *type,
                    size_t *sizeof_type);

Return the data pointer plus optionally the length in bytes of an area, the number of elements, the GType of each element and the sizeof() each element.

VIPS_ARRAY_ADDR()

#define             VIPS_ARRAY_ADDR( X, I )

vips_ref_string_new ()

VipsRefString *
vips_ref_string_new (const char *str);

Create a new refstring. These are reference-counted immutable strings, used to store string data in vips image metadata.

Strings must be valid utf-8; use blob for binary data.

See also: vips_area_unref().

vips_ref_string_get ()

const char *
vips_ref_string_get (VipsRefString *refstr,
                     size_t *length);

               const void *data,
               size_t length);

Like vips_area_new(), but track a length as well. The returned VipsBlob takes ownership of data and will free it with free_fn . Pass NULL for free_fn to not transfer ownership.

An area of mem with a free func and a length (some sort of binary object, like an ICC profile).

See also: vips_area_unref().

vips_blob_copy ()

VipsBlob *
vips_blob_copy (const void *data,
                size_t length);
