libAfterImage/blender/colorspace

DESCRIPTION
 RGB colorspace: each color is represented as a combination of
 red, green and blue values. Each value can be in 2 formats :
 8 bit and 24.8 bit. 24.8 bit makes for 32bit value with lower 8 bits
 used as a fraction for better calculation precision.

 HSV colorspace: each color is represented as a combination of
 hue, saturation and value. Hue is generally colorizing component where
 value represents brightness.

 HLS colorspace: each color is represented as a combination of
 hue, luminance and saturation. It is analogous to HSV with value
 substituted by luminance, except that luminance could be both
 negative and positive.

 alpha channel could be added to any of the above colorspaces. alpha
 channel is generally used to define transparentness of the color.
 libAfterImage is using ARGB colorspace as a base colorspace, and
 represents most colors as ARGB32 values or ASScanline scanlines of
 pixels.

libAfterImage/blender/rgb2value()

SYNOPSIS
 CARD32 rgb2value( CARD32 red, CARD32 green, CARD32 blue );
 CARD32 rgb2saturation( CARD32 red, CARD32 green, CARD32 blue );
 CARD32 rgb2hue( CARD32 red, CARD32 green, CARD32 blue );
 CARD32 rgb2luminance (CARD32 red, CARD32 green, CARD32 blue );
INPUTS
 red   - 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent red channel
 green - 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent green channel
 blue  - 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent blue channel
RETURN VALUE
 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent value, saturation, hue,
 or luminance respectively.
DESCRIPTION
 This functions translate RGB color into respective coordinates of
 HSV and HLS colorspaces.
 REturned hue values are in 16bit format. To translate it to and from
 conventional 0-360 degree range, please use :
 degrees2hue16() - converts conventional hue in 0-360 range into hue16
 hue162degree()  - converts 16bit hue value into conventional degrees.

libAfterImage/blender/rgb2hsv()

SYNOPSIS
 CARD32 rgb2hsv( CARD32 red, CARD32 green, CARD32 blue,
                 CARD32 *saturation, CARD32 *value );
 CARD32 rgb2hls( CARD32 red, CARD32 green, CARD32 blue,
                 CARD32 *luminance, CARD32 *saturation );
INPUTS
 red   - 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent red channel
 green - 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent green channel
 blue  - 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent blue channel
RETURN VALUE
 32 bit value, 16 lower bits of which represent hue.
 32bit value pointed to by luminance, value and saturation will be set
 respectively to color luminance, value and saturation.
DESCRIPTION
 This functions translate RGB color into full set of HSV and HLS
 coordinates at once. These functions work faster then separate
 translation into each channel.

 void dissipate_scanlines ( ASScanline *bottom, ASScanline *top, int );
INPUTS
 bottom   - pointer to the ASScanline that will be overalayed
 top      - pointer to ASScanline that will overlay bottom.
DESCRIPTION
 This functions accept 2 scanlines as an arguments stored in
 ASScanline structures with data in 24.8 format. Merging operation is
 performed on these scanlines and result is stored in bottom
 ASScanline.
 The following are merging methods used in each function :

 alphablend_scanlines - combines top and bottom RGB components based
                        on alpha channel value:
                        bottom = bottom*(255-top_alpha)+top*top_alpha;
 allanon_scanlines    - averages each pixel between two scanlines.
                        This method has been first implemented by
                        Ethan Fisher aka allanon as mode 130:
                        bottom = (bottom+top)/2;
 tint_scanlines       - tints bottom scanline with top scanline( with
                        saturation to prevent overflow) :
                        bottom = (bottom*(top/2))/32768;
 add_scanlines        - adds top scanline to bottom scanline with
                        saturation to prevent overflow:
                        bottom = bottom+top;
 sub_scanlines        - substrates top scanline from bottom scanline
                        with saturation to prevent overflow:
                        bottom = bottom-top;
 diff_scanlines       - for each pixel calculates absolute difference
                        between bottom and top color value :
                        bottom = (bottom>top)?bottom-top:top-bottom;
 darken_scanlines     - substitutes each pixel with minimum color
                        value of top and bottom :
                        bottom = (bottom>top)?top:bottom;
 lighten_scanlines    - substitutes each pixel with maximum color
                        value of top and bottom :
                        bottom = (bottom>top)?bottom:top;
 screen_scanlines     - some wierd merging algorithm taken from GIMP;
 overlay_scanlines    - some wierd merging algorithm taken from GIMP;
 hue_scanlines        - substitute hue of bottom scanline with hue of
                        top scanline;
 saturate_scanlines   - substitute saturation of bottom scanline with
                        the saturation of top scanline;
 value_scanlines      - substitute value of bottom scanline with
                        the value of top scanline;
 colorize_scanlines   - combine luminance of bottom scanline with hue
                        and saturation of top scanline;
 dissipate_scanlines  - randomly alpha-blend bottom and top scanlines,
                        using alpha value of top scanline as a
                        threshold for random values.

libAfterImage/blender/blend_scanlines_name2func()

SYNOPSIS
 merge_scanlines_func blend_scanlines_name2func( const char *name );
 void list_scanline_merging(FILE* stream, const char *format);
INPUTS
 name - string, identifying scanline merging function.
RETURN VALUE
 returns pointer to the scanline merging function on succes.
 NULL on failure.
DESCRIPTION
 blend_scanlines_name2func() will strip leading whitespaces off of
 the supplied name, and then will attempt to match it against the list
 of names of merging functions. It will then return pointer to the
 function with matching name.
 list_scanline_merging() simply prints out description of implemented
 blending/merging methods onto the supplied stream, in supplied format.
 Format must include 2 string specs, like so : "%s - %s" where first
 one will be substituted to short method name, and second - description
