Functions

func Decode

func Decode(r io.Reader) (image.Image, error)

Decode reads a PNG image from r and returns it as an image.Image. The type of Image returned depends on the PNG contents.

Example

package main

import (
	"encoding/base64"
	"fmt"
	"image/color"
	"image/png"
	"io"
	"log"
	"strings"
)

	// This example uses png.Decode which can only decode PNG images.
	// Consider using the general image.Decode as it can sniff and decode any registered image format.

			if level == 5 {
				level--
			}
			fmt.Print(levels[level])
		}
		fmt.Print("\n")
	}

func DecodeConfig

func DecodeConfig(r io.Reader) (image.Config, error)

DecodeConfig returns the color model and dimensions of a PNG image without decoding the entire image.

func Encode

func Encode(w io.Writer, m image.Image) error

Encode writes the Image m to w in PNG format. Any Image may be encoded, but images that are not image.NRGBA might be encoded lossily.

Example

package main

import (
	"image"
	"image/color"
	"image/png"
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	const width, height = 256, 256

	// Create a colored image of the given width and height.
	img := image.NewNRGBA(image.Rect(0, 0, width, height))

	for y := 0; y < height; y++ {
		for x := 0; x < width; x++ {
			img.Set(x, y, color.NRGBA{
				R: uint8((x + y) & 255),
				G: uint8((x + y) << 1 & 255),
				B: uint8((x + y) << 2 & 255),
				A: 255,
			})
		}
	}

	f, err := os.Create("image.png")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	if err := png.Encode(f, img); err != nil {
		f.Close()
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
