rust-turbojpeg

Rust bindings for TurboJPEG, which provides simple and fast compression/decompression of JPEG images.

TurboJPEG is a high-level API provided by [libjpeg-turbo].

Usage

Use turbojpeg::Compressor to compress raw pixel data into JPEG (see examples/simple_compress.rs for full example):

```rust use turbojpeg::{Compressor, Image, PixelFormat};

// prepare the raw pixel data let width: usize = ...; let height: usize = ...; let pixels: Vec = ...;

// initialize a Compressor let mut compressor = Compressor::new()?;

// create an Image that bundles a reference to the raw pixel data (as &[u8]) // with information about the image format let image = Image { pixels: pixels.as_slice(), width: width, pitch: 3 * width, // there is no padding between rows height: height, format: PixelFormat::RGB, };

// compress the Image to a Vec of JPEG data let jpegdata = compressor.compressto_vec(image)?; ```

To decompress JPEG data into a raw pixel data, use turbojpeg::Decompressor (full example in examples/simple_decompress.rs):

```rust use turbojpeg::{Decompressor, Image, PixelFormat};

// get the JPEG data let jpeg_data: &[u8] = ...;

// initialize a Decompressor let mut decompressor = Decompressor::new()?;

// read the JPEG header with image size let header = decompressor.readheader(jpegdata)?; let (width, height) = (header.width, header.height);

// prepare a storage for the raw pixel data let mut pixels = vec![0; 3widthheight]; let image = Image { pixels: pixels.asmutslice(), width: width, pitch: 3 * width, // we use no padding between rows height: height, format: PixelFormat::RGB, };

// decompress the JPEG data decompressor.decompresstoslice(jpeg_data, image)?;

// use the raw pixel data println!("{:?}", &pixels[0..9]); ```

See other examples in examples/ or read the docs for more information.

Requirements

The low-level binding to libturbojpeg is provided by the crate turbojpeg-sys, which needs:

• C headers to generate the Rust binding code using bindgen.
• Linker flags that rustc will use to link against libturbojpeg.

By default, the turbojpeg-sys crate uses a pregenerated Rust binding code (so you don't need the C headers) and the default linker flags -l turbojpeg. However, this behavior can be altered in several ways:

• Feature flag pkg-config uses the pkg-config tool to find the linker flags and the include paths for C headers that are specific for your system.
• Environment variable TURBOJPEG_INCLUDE_PATH, if specified, adds an extra include path for C headers.
• Feature flag bindgen uses the bindgen tool to generate Rust binding code at build time, instead of using the pregenerated code. If no include paths are specified (using pkg-config or TURBOJPEG_INCLUDE_PATH), we use headers that are bundled with turbojpeg-sys.

All this magic is implemented in the build.rs script in turbojpeg-sys. If you think that it could be improved, or if you encounter an error on your system, please open an issue or a pull request.

Contributing

All contributions are welcome! Please contact me (@honzasp) or open a pull request. This crate is rather minimal, the main areas of improvement are:

• Extending the safe Rust API provided by turbojpeg crate.
• Improving the build process of turbojpeg-sys crate, so that it works seamlessly on a wide range of systems.
• Testing.
