Image
is a convenience class for working with bitmap images in Lime.
Although ImageBuffer
holds the actual bitmap data, Image
includes convenience methods for
loading from files, loading from bytes, and performing many pixel operations over an
ImageBuffer
instance.
Static methods
staticfromBase64(base64:String, type:String):Image
staticfromBitmapData(bitmapData:BitmapData):Image
Creates a new Image
from a Flash BitmapData
instance
Parameters:
bitmapData | A source |
---|
Returns:
A new Image
instance
staticfromBytes(bytes:Bytes):Image
Converts a Bytes
object to an Image
instance
Some platforms (such as Flash and HTML5) cannot convert Bytes
to an
Image
synchronously, and may not work properly.
Image.loadFromBytes
works asynchronously, and should work
consistently on all platforms.
Parameters:
bytes | A |
---|
Returns:
A new Image
instance
staticfromCanvas(canvas:Dynamic):Image
staticfromFile(path:String):Image
Loads an Image
from a path synchronously.
Some platforms, such as Flash and HTML5, cannot load images synchronously.
Image.loadFromFile
works asynchronously, and should
behave consistently on all platforms.
Parameters:
path | The source file path or URL of an encoded image file |
---|
Returns:
A new Image
instance
staticfromImageElement(image:Dynamic):Image
Converts a js.html.Image
instance to an Image
Parameters:
image | An |
---|
Returns:
A new Image
instance
staticloadFromBase64(base64:String, type:String):Future<Image>
staticloadFromBytes(bytes:Bytes):Future<Image>
Constructor
new(?buffer:ImageBuffer, offsetX:Int = 0, offsetY:Int = 0, width:Int = -1, height:Int = -1, ?color:Int, ?type:ImageType)
Creates a new Image
instance.
If buffer
is null, but width
and height
are set, a new ImageBuffer
is allocated matching the color
requested.
Parameters:
buffer | (Optional) The |
---|---|
offsetX | (Optional) A logical offset value within the |
offsetY | (Optional) A logical offset value within the |
width | (Optional) A logical width value within the |
height | (Optional) A logical height value within the |
color | (Optional) A fill color to use if the |
type |
Variables
data:UInt8Array
Retrieves UInt8Array
data from the ImageBuffer
. If the ImageBuffer
is not in a data format, it will be converted.
format:PixelFormat
Get or set the PixelFormat
for the underlying ImageBuffer
. This can be
used to convert the ImageBuffer
to a new format.
height:Int
The logical height of the Image
. This can be smaller than the height
of the underlying buffer
.
powerOfTwo:Bool
Get or set whether the ImageBuffer
dimensions are both a power-of-two
(such as 2, 4, 8, 16, so on). Setting this value may resize the underlying
buffer
premultiplied:Bool
Get or set whether this Image
has premultiplied alpha. Setting this value
may multiply or unmultiply data if the underlying ImageBuffer
uses a
different format.
src:Dynamic
A higher-level representation of the source ImageBuffer
. This might be an
HTML5 Image, CanvasElement or a Flash BitmapData instance.
version:Int
The version
of the Image
increases each time it is modified, helpful to determining
whether a cache is out-of-date.
width:Int
The logical width of the Image
. This can be smaller than the width
of the underlying buffer
.

threshold(sourceImage:Image, sourceRect:Rectangle, destPoint:Vector2, operation:String, threshold:Int, color:Int = 0x00000000, mask:Int = 0xFFFFFFFF, copySource:Bool = false, ?format:PixelFormat):Int
Tests pixel values in an image against a specified threshold and sets
pixels that pass the test to new color values. Using the
threshold()
method, you can isolate and replace color ranges
in an image and perform other logical operations on image pixels.
The threshold()
method's test logic is as follows:
- If
((pixelValue & mask) operation(threshold & mask))
, then set the pixel tocolor
; - Otherwise, if
copySource == true
, then set the pixel to corresponding pixel value fromsourceBitmap
.
The operation
parameter specifies the comparison operator
to use for the threshold test. For example, by using "==" as the
operation
parameter, you can isolate a specific color value
in an image. Or by using {operation: "<", mask: 0xFF000000,
threshold: 0x7F000000, color: 0x00000000}
, you can set all
destination pixels to be fully transparent when the source image pixel's
alpha is less than 0x7F. You can use this technique for animated
transitions and other effects.
Parameters:
sourceImage | The input bitmap image to use. The source image can be a different |
---|---|
sourceRect | A rectangle that defines the area of the source image to use as input. |
destPoint | The point within the destination image (the current |
operation | One of the following comparison operators, passed as a |
threshold | The value that each pixel is tested against to see if it meets or exceeds the threshhold. |
color | The color value that a pixel is set to if the threshold test succeeds. The default value is 0x00000000. |
mask | The mask to use to isolate a color component. |
copySource | If the value is |
Returns:
The number of pixels that were changed.
