Overview

A palette describes the set of colors that is being used for an image.

A PNG image can contain an explicit palette which defines the colors of that image, but can also use an implicit palette, e.g. all truecolor colors or all grayscale colors.

This palette supports decoding colors from a palette if an explicit palette is provided in a PNG datastream, and it supports encoding colors to an explicit palette (stores as PLTE & tRNS chunks in a PNG file).

Constructor Details

#initialize(enum, decoding_map = nil) ⇒ Palette

Builds a new palette given a set (Enumerable instance) of colors.

Parameters:

  • enum (Enumerbale<Integer>) —

    The set of colors to include in this palette. This Enumerbale can contains duplicates.

  • decoding_map (Array) (defaults to: nil) —

    An array of colors in the exact order at which they appeared in the palette chunk, so that this array can be used for decoding.

.from_chunks(palette_chunk, transparency_chunk = nil) ⇒ ChunkyPNG::Palette

Instance Method Details

#[](index) ⇒ ChunkyPNG::Color

Returns a color, given the position in the original palette chunk.

Parameters:

  • index (Integer) —

    The 0-based position of the color in the palette.

Returns:

  • (ChunkyPNG::Color) —

    The color that is stored in the palette under the given index

end

#best_colormode ⇒ Integer

Determines the most suitable colormode for this palette.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The colormode which would create the smalles possible file for images that use this exact palette.

  end
end

#can_decode? ⇒ true, false

Checks whether this palette is suitable for decoding an image from a datastream.

This requires that the positions of the colors in the original palette chunk is known, which is stored as an array in the @decoding_map instance variable.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if a decoding map was built when this palette was loaded.

end

#can_encode? ⇒ true, false

Checks whether this palette is suitable for encoding an image from to datastream.

This requires that the position of the color in the future palette chunk is known, which is stored as a hash in the @encoding_map instance variable.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if a encoding map was built when this palette was loaded.

end

#grayscale? ⇒ true, false

Check whether this pelette only contains grayscale colors.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if all colors in this palette are grayscale teints.

#index(color) ⇒ Integer

Returns the position of a color in the palette

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The 0-based position of the color in the palette.

end

#indexable? ⇒ true, false

Checks whether the size of this palette is suitable for indexed storage.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if the number of colors in this palette is at most 256.

#opaque? ⇒ true, false

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if all colors in this palette are opaque.

#to_plte_chunk ⇒ ChunkyPNG::Chunk::Palette

Creates a PLTE chunk that corresponds with this palette to store the r, g and b channels of all colors.

Note that a PLTE chunk should only be included if the image is encoded using index colors. After this chunk has been built, the palette becomes suitable for encoding an image.

Returns:

  ChunkyPNG::Chunk::Palette.new('PLTE', colors.pack('C*'))
end

#to_trns_chunk ⇒ ChunkyPNG::Chunk::Transparency

Creates a tRNS chunk that corresponds with this palette to store the alpha channel of all colors.

Note that this chunk can be left out of every color in the palette is opaque, and the image is encoded using indexed colors.
