Detailed Description

Abstract helper base class to access JPEG images.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Exiv2::JpegBase::JpegBase ( int  type,
BasicIo::AutoPtr  io,
bool  create,
const byte  initData[],
long  dataSize 
) [protected]

Constructor that can either open an existing image or create a new image from scratch. If a new image is to be created, any existing data is overwritten.

Parameters:
type Image type.
io An auto-pointer that owns a BasicIo instance used for reading and writing image metadata. Important: The constructor takes ownership of the passed in BasicIo instance through the auto-pointer. Callers should not continue to use the BasicIo instance after it is passed to this method. Use the Image::io() method to get a temporary reference.
create Specifies if an existing image should be read (false) or if a new image should be created (true).
initData Data to initialize newly created images. Only used when create is true. Should contain data for the smallest valid image of the calling subclass.
dataSize Size of initData in bytes.

Member Function Documentation

void Exiv2::JpegBase::readMetadata (  )  [virtual]

Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared.

This method returns success even if no metadata is found in the image. Callers must therefore check the size of individual metadata types before accessing the data.

Exceptions:
Error if opening or reading of the file fails or the image data is not valid (does not look like data of the specific image type).

Implements Exiv2::Image.

void Exiv2::JpegBase::writeMetadata (  )  [virtual]

Write metadata back to the image.

All existing metadata sections in the image are either created, replaced, or erased. If values for a given metadata type have been assigned, a section for that metadata type will either be created or replaced. If no values have been assigned to a given metadata type, any exists section for that metadata type will be removed from the image.

Exceptions:
Error if the operation fails

Implements Exiv2::Image.

virtual bool Exiv2::JpegBase::isThisType ( BasicIo &  iIo,
bool  advance 
) const [protected, pure virtual]

Determine if the content of the BasicIo instance is of the type supported by this class.

The advance flag determines if the read position in the stream is moved (see below). This applies only if the type matches and the function returns true. If the type does not match, the stream position is not changed. However, if reading from the stream fails, the stream position is undefined. Consult the stream state to obtain more information in this case.

Parameters:
iIo BasicIo instance to read from.
advance Flag indicating whether the position of the io should be advanced by the number of characters read to analyse the data (true) or left at its original position (false). This applies only if the type matches.
Returns:
true if the data matches the type of this class;
false if the data does not match

Implemented in Exiv2::JpegImage, and Exiv2::ExvImage.

virtual int Exiv2::JpegBase::writeHeader ( BasicIo &  oIo  )  const [protected, pure virtual]

Writes the image header (aka signature) to the BasicIo instance.

Parameters:
oIo BasicIo instance that the header is written to.
Returns:
0 if successful;
4 if the output file can not be written to

Implemented in Exiv2::JpegImage, and Exiv2::ExvImage.
