jp2-pixbuf-loader

JPEG2000 Pixbuf Loader

This is a GdkPixbuf loader module for JPEG2000. It uses OpenJPEG to load JPEG2000 images as linear buffers in memory.

Note: by default there's already some JPEG2000 support in GdkPixbuf, but that uses the JasPer image library, which only support certain parts of the JPEG2000 standard, meaning certain images don't work.

Installing

Option 1. Compiling

meson build && cd build && ninja install

Alternatively, specifically for arch:

meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=plain build && meson compile -C build && sudo meson install -C build

Development

• GdkPixbuf Reference Manual
• Examples

Debug

Build project then generate loaders.cache.in:

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders libpixbufloader-jp2.so > ../tests/loaders.cache.in

Run tests:

ninja test or meson test --print-errorlogs

Run tests with gdb:

meson test --gdb

Run tests with valgrind:

meson test --verbose --print-errorlogs --wrap='valgrind --leak-check=full'

Run a specific test:

meson test basic --print-errorlogs

Todo

• Better tests
• Tests and testfiles for sYCC422 and sYCC444
• Support for e-YCC? Need testfiles
• Support for cielab? Need testfiles
• icc profile?
• Implement image_save;
• Implement image_stop_load;
• Implement image_begin_load;
• Implement image_load_increment;
• Implement image_save_to_callback;
