Pro.DIB — API for parsing DIB images

Overview

The Pro.DIB module contains the API for parsing DIB images.

Parsing a BMP image

The following code example demonstrates how to parse bitmap:

from Pro.Core import *
from Pro.DIB import *

def parseBitmap(fname):
    c = createContainerFromFile(fname)
    if c.isNull():
        return
    obj = DIBObject()
    obj.SetDIBFormat(DIBObject.BMPFormat)
    if not obj.Load(c):
        return
    hdr = obj.DIBHeader()
    print("Width:", hdr.Num("Width"), "Height:", hdr.Num("Height"))

class DIBObject

Bases: Pro.Core.CFFObject

This class represents a DIB image.

Attributes:

BMPFormat	BMP image format.
DIBCursorFormat	DIB cursor image format.
DIBFormat	DIB image format.
DIBIconFormat	DIB icon image format.

Methods:

BMPHeader()	Returns the BMP header.
DIBHeader()	Returns the DIB header.
GetANDMaskRange()	Returns the range of the AND mask table if available; otherwise the returned Pro.Core.NTOffsetRange.offset is Pro.Core.INVALID_STREAM_OFFSET.
GetColorTableRange()	Returns the range of the color table if available; otherwise the returned Pro.Core.NTOffsetRange.offset is Pro.Core.INVALID_STREAM_OFFSET.
GetDIBFormat()	Returns the format of the DIB image (e.g., BMPFormat).
GetPixelArrayRange()	Returns the range of the pixel array.
HasANDMask()	Returns True if the image has an AND mask; otherwise returns False.
HasColorTable()	Returns True if the image has a color table; otherwise returns False.
IsBitmap()	Returns True if the DIB image format is a BMP; otherwise returns False.
IsDIBCoreHeader()	Returns True if the DIB header is minimalistic; otherwise returns False.
IsIcon()	Returns True if the DIB image format is either an icon or a cursor; otherwise returns False.
SetDIBFormat(format)	Sets the format of the DIB image.
