IconBaker

Crate API Minimum rustc version Downloads License

A simple solution for encoding common icon file-formats, such as .ico, .icns and favicon.

This crate is mostly a wrapper for other libraries, unifying existing APIs into a single, cohesive interface. It serves as IconPie's internal library.

Overview

An icon consists of a map between keys and images. An entry is a key-value pair contained in an icon.

IconBaker simply automates the process of re-scaling images, creating entries and combining them into an icon.

Keys

Each icon format is associated with a particular key type, which determines how entries are labeled. Each key can only be associated with a single image.

For example, icon formats that only differentiate entries by the dimensions of their associated images are labeled by positive integers, such as the .ico and .icns file-formats.

On the other hand, icon formats that distinguish their entries by path, such as png sequeces and FreeDesktop icon themes , are labeled by path.

Note that, since the dimensions of the images contained in an entry are dictated by their associated entries, every key must be convertible to a positive integers. Therefore, all key types are required to implement AsRef<u32>.

Resampling

Pictures are scaled using resampling filters, which are represented by functions that take a source image and a size and return a re-scaled image.

This allows the users of this crate to provide their custom resampling filters. Common resampling filters are provided in the resample module.

Examples

General Usage

The Icon::add_entry can be used to automatically resample source images and converts them to entries in an icon.

```rust use icon_baker::{ico::{Ico, Key}, Image, Icon, IconError};

fn example() -> Result<(), IconError> { let icon = Ico::new(); let src = Image::open("image.svg")?;

icon.add_entry(resample::linear, &img, Key(32))

} ```

Writing to Disk

Implementors of the Icon trait can be written to any object that implements io::Write with the Icon::write method.

```rust use icon_baker::favicon::Favicon; use std::{io, fs::File};

fn example() -> io::Result<()> { let icon = Favicon::new();

// Process the icon ...

let file = File::create("out.icns")?;
icon.write(file)

} ```

Alternatively, icons can be directly written to a file on disk with Icon::save method.

```rust use icon_baker::favicon::Favicon; use std::{io, fs::File};

fn example() -> io::Result<()> { let icon = Favicon::new();

/* Process the icon */

icon.save("./output/")

} ```

Support

Icon Formats

These are the output formats IconBaker natively supports. Be aware that custom output types can be created using the Icon trait.

Icns Support

Icon Baker uses the icns crate for generating .icns files. The supported icon types are specified by the creators of such crate as follows:

| OSType | Description | Supported? | |--------|----------------------------------------------|--------------| | ICON | 32×32 1-bit entry | No | | ICN# | 32×32 1-bit entry with 1-bit mask | No | | icm# | 16×12 1-bit entry with 1-bit mask | No | | icm4 | 16×12 4-bit entry | No | | icm8 | 16×12 8-bit entry | No | | ics# | 16×16 1-bit mask | No | | ics4 | 16×16 4-bit entry | No | | ics8 | 16x16 8-bit entry | No | | is32 | 16×16 24-bit entry | Yes | | s8mk | 16x16 8-bit mask | Yes | | icl4 | 32×32 4-bit entry | No | | icl8 | 32×32 8-bit entry | No | | il32 | 32x32 24-bit entry | Yes | | l8mk | 32×32 8-bit mask | Yes | | ich# | 48×48 1-bit mask | No | | ich4 | 48×48 4-bit entry | No | | ich8 | 48×48 8-bit entry | No | | ih32 | 48×48 24-bit entry | Yes | | h8mk | 48×48 8-bit mask | Yes | | it32 | 128×128 24-bit entry | Yes | | t8mk | 128×128 8-bit mask | Yes | | icp4 | 16x16 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | icp5 | 32x32 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | icp6 | 64x64 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic07 | 128x128 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic08 | 256×256 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic09 | 512×512 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic10 | 512x512@2x "retina" 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic11 | 16x16@2x "retina" 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic12 | 32x32@2x "retina" 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic13 | 128x128@2x "retina" 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only | | ic14 | 256x256@2x "retina" 32-bit png/jp2 entry | png only |

Image Formats

IconBaker uses image for raster graphics manipulations and resvg with the raqote backend for svg rasterization. Note that raqote requires cmake to build.

| Format | Supported? | |--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | png | All supported color types | | jpeg | Baseline and progressive | | gif | Yes | | bmp | Yes | | ico | Yes | | tiff | Baseline(no fax support), lzw, PackBits | | webp | Lossy(Luma channel only) | | pnm | pbm, pgm, ppm, standard pma | | svg | Static SVG Full 1.1 |
