Creators
 TgaImage (BasicIo::AutoPtr io)
 Constructor to open a Targa image. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure.
Manipulators
void readMetadata ()
 Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared.
void writeMetadata ()
 Todo: Write metadata back to the image. This method is not yet(?) implemented. Calling it will throw an Error(31).
void setExifData (const ExifData &exifData)
 Todo: Not supported yet(?). Calling this function will throw an instance of Error(32).
void setIptcData (const IptcData &iptcData)

void setComment (const std::string &comment)
 Not supported. Calling this function will throw an instance of Error(32).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Exiv2::TgaImage::TgaImage ( BasicIo::AutoPtr  io  ) 

Constructor to open a Targa image. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure.

Parameters:
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.

Member Function Documentation

void Exiv2::TgaImage::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.

std::string Exiv2::TgaImage::mimeType (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return the MIME type of the image.

Note:
For each supported image format, the library knows only one MIME type. This may not be the most specific MIME type for that format. In particular, several RAW formats are variants of the TIFF format with the same magic as TIFF itself. Class TiffImage handles most of them and thus they all have MIME type "image/tiff", although a more specific MIME type may exist (e.g., "image/x-nikon-nef").
