libAfterImage/ASImageExportParams

NAME
 ASImageExportParams
SYNOPSIS
 ASImageExportParams - union of structures holding parameters for
   export into different file formats.
DESCRIPTION
 Treatment of this union depends on what type of export was requested.
SEE ALSO
 ASImageFileTypes
SOURCE
    typedef union ASImageExportParams
    {
        ASImageFileTypes   type;
        ASXpmExportParams  xpm;
        ASPngExportParams  png;

libAfterImage/export/ASImage2file()

SYNOPSIS
 Bool ASImage2file( ASImage *im, const char *dir, const char *file,
                  ASImageFileTypes type, ASImageExportParams *params );
INPUTS
 im         - Image to write out.
 dir          - directory name to write file into (optional,
                could be NULL)
 file         - file name with or without directory name.
 type         - output file format. ( see ASImageFileTypes )
 params       - pointer to ASImageExportParams union's member for the
                above type, with additional export parameters, such as
                quality, compression, etc. If NULL then all defaults
                will be used.
RETURN VALUE
 True on success. False - failure.
DESCRIPTION
 ASImage2file will construct filename out of dir and file components
 and then will call specific filter to write out file in requested
 format.
NOTES
 Some formats support compression, others support lossy compression,
 yet others allows you to limit number of colors and colordepth.
 Each specific filter will try to interpret those parameters in its
 own way.
