27 ## Manage supported image formats.
28 ##
29 ## @var{formats} is a structure with information about each supported file
30 ## format, or from a specific format @var{ext}, the value displayed on the
31 ## field @code{ext}. It contains the following fields:
32 ##
33 ## @table @asis
34 ## @item ext
35 ## The name of the file format. This may match the file extension but Octave
36 ## will automatically detect the file format.
37 ## @item description
38 ## A long description of the file format.
39 ## @item isa
40 ## A function handle to confirm if a file is of the specified format.
41 ## @item write
42 ## A function handle to write if a file is of the specified format.
43 ## @item read
44 ## A function handle to open files the specified format.
45 ## @item info
46 ## A function handle to obtain image information of the specified format.
47 ## @item alpha
48 ## Logical value if format supports alpha channel (transparency or matte).
49 ## @item multipage
50 ## Logical value if format supports multipage (multiple images per file).
51 ## @end table
52 ##
53 ## It is possible to change the way Octave manages file formats with the options
54 ## @code{"add"}, @code{"remove"}, and @code{"update"}, and supplying a
55 ## structure @var{format} with the required fields. The option
56 ## @code{"factory"} resets the configuration to the default.
57 ##
58 ## This can be used by Octave packages to extend the image reading capabilities
59 ## Octave, through use of the PKG_ADD and PKG_DEL commands.

137 ## The available formats are dependent on what the user has installed at
138 ## a given time, and how GraphicsMagick was built. Checking for
139 ## GraphicsMagick features when building Octave is not enough since it
140 ## delegates some of them to external programs which can be removed or
141 ## installed at any time.
142 ## The recommended method would be to use CoderInfoList() to get a list of
143 ## all available coders and try to write and read back a small test image.
144 ## But this will not work since some coders are readable or writable only.
145 ## It will still fail if we test only the ones marked as readable and
146 ## writable because some RW coders are not of image formats (NULL, 8BIM,
147 ## or EXIF for example).
148 ## So we'd need a blacklist (unacceptable because a `bad' coder may be
149 ## added later) or a whitelist. A whitelist means that even with a
150 ## super-fancy recent build of GraphicsMagick, some formats won't be listed
151 ## by imformats but in truth, we will still be able to read and write them
152 ## since imread() and imwrite() will give it a try anyway.

174 ## Building the formats info
175 ##
176 ## As mentioned above we start with a whitelist of coders. Since the
177 ## GraphicsMagick build may be missing some coders, we will remove those
178 ## from the list. Some info can be obtained directly from GraphicsMagick
179 ## through the CoderInfo object. However, some will need to be hardcoded.
180 ##
181 ## The association between file extensions and coders needs to be done
182 ## with a manually coded list (file extensions do not define the image
183 ## format and GraphicsMagick will not be fooled by changing the extension).
184 ##
185 ## We can get the read, write, description and multipage fields from
186 ## CoderInfo in C++. We should do the same for alpha (GraphicsMagick
187 ## calls it matte) but it's not available from CoderInfo. The only way to
188 ## check it is to create a sample image with each coder, then try to read
189 ## it back with GraphicsMagick and use the matte method on the Image class.
190 ## But making such test for each Octave session... meh! While technically
191 ## it may be possible that the same coder has different support for alpha
192 ## channel in different versions and builds, this doesn't seem to happen.
193 ## So we also hardcode those. In the future, maybe the CoderInfo class will
194 ## have a matte method like it does for multipage.
195 ##
196 ## Other notes: some formats have more than one coder that do the same. For
197 ## example, for jpeg images there is both the JPG and JPEG coders. However,
198 ## it seems that when reading images, GraphicsMagick only uses one of them
199 ## and that's the one we list (it's the one reported by imfinfo and that we
200 ## can use for isa). However, in some cases GraphicsMagick seems to rely
201 ## uniquely on the file extension ((JBIG and JBG at least. Create an image
202 ## with each of those coders, swap their extension and it will report the
203 ## other coder). We don't have such cases on the whitelist but if we did, we
204 ## would need two entries for such cases.
