This patch adds support for JPEG decoding. The JPEG decoder is capable
of handling standard 2x1 horizontal, 2x1 vertical and quartered chroma
subsampling. The implemented Inverse DCT performs with a decent speed.
As of interchange formats, since we tend to ignore the metadata in APPn
markers, the decoder can handle any format compatible with JFIF, which
includes EXIFs and sometimes WebMs too. The decoder does not support
progressive JPEGs yet.
This adds support for loading the first image from ICO format images only if they are PNG encoded.
This is useful for loading favicons, which are sometimes PNGs with an ICO extension and sometimes actual ICO files.
In particular we can now load the favicon from new.ycombinator.com
Adds an *almost fully featured BMP loader to process .bmp files.
Features:
- All header formats are supported
- Full RLE4/8/24 support
- Color scaling (e.g. distributing a 5-bit color throughout the 8-bit
color spectrum, so 5-bit white is still 0xffffff)
- Full BITMASK/ALPHABITMASK support
*Not included:
- 1D Huffman compression. Good luck actually finding a bmp in the wild
that uses this
- Use of any field in the V4/V5 header. Color spaces? Endpoints? No
thanks :)
This loader was tested with the images at
https://entropymine.com/jason/bmpsuite/bmpsuite/html/bmpsuite.html. This
loader correctly displays 81 out of the 90 total images (for reference,
firefox displays 64 correctly). Note that not rendering the images at
the bottom is counted as displaying correctly.
