# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
An **ncvisual** is a virtual pixel framebuffer. They can be created from
|
||
RGBA/BGRA data in memory (**ncvisual_from_rgba**/**ncvisual_from_bgra**),
|
||
or from the content of a suitable **ncplane** (**ncvisual_from_ncplane**).
|
||
If Notcurses was built against a multimedia engine (FFMpeg or OpenImageIO),
|
||
image and video files can be loaded into visuals using
|
||
**ncvisual_from_file**. **ncvisual_from_file** discovers the container
|
||
and codecs, but does not verify that the entire file is well-formed.
|
||
**ncvisual_decode** ought be invoked to recover subsequent frames, once
|
||
per frame.
|
||
|
||
Once the visual is loaded, it can be transformed using **ncvisual_rotate**
|
||
and **ncvisual_resize**. These are persistent operations, unlike any scaling
|
||
that takes place at render time. If a subtitle is associated with the frame,
|
||
it can be acquired with **ncvisual_subtitle**.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_from_rgba** and **ncvisual_from_bgra** both require a number of
|
||
**rows**, a number of image columns **cols**, and a virtual row length of
|
||
**rowstride** / 4 columns. The input data must provide 32 bits per pixel, and
|
||
thus must be at least **rowstride** * **rows** bytes, of which a **cols** *
|
||
**rows** * 4-byte subset is used. It is not possible to **mmap(2)** an image
|
||
file and use it directly--decompressed, decoded data is necessary. The
|
||
resulting plane will be ceil(**rows**/2) rows, and **cols** columns.
|
||
**ncvisual_from_plane** requires specification of a rectangle via **begy**,
|
||
**begx**, **leny**, and **lenx**. The only valid characters within this
|
||
region are those used by the **NCBLIT_2x2** blitter, though this may change
|
||
in the future.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_rotate** executes a rotation of **rads** radians, in the clockwise
|
||
(positive) or counterclockwise (negative) direction.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_subtitle** will return a UTF-8-encoded subtitle corresponding to
|
||
the current frame if such a subtitle was decoded. Note that a subtitle might
|
||
be returned for multiple frames, or might not.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_render** blits the visual to an **ncplane**, based on the contents
|
||
of its **struct ncvisual_options**. If **n** is not **NULL**, it specifies the
|
||
plane on which to render, and **y**/**x** specify a location within that plane.
|
||
Otherwise, a new plane will be created, and placed at **y**/**x** relative to
|
||
the rendering area. **begy**/**begx** specify the upper left corner of a
|
||
subsection of the **ncvisual** to render, while **leny**/**lenx** specify the
|
||
geometry of same. **flags** is a bitfield over:
|
||
|
||
* **NCVISUAL_OPTION_NODEGRADE** If the specified blitter is not available, fail rather than degrading.
|
||
* **NCVISUAL_OPTION_BLEND**: Render with **CELL_ALPHA_BLEND**.
|
||
|
||
# BLITTERS
|
||
|
||
The different **ncblitter_e** values select from among available glyph sets:
|
||
|
||
* **NCBLIT_DEFAULT**: Let the **ncvisual** choose its own blitter.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_1x1**: Full block (█) or empty glyph.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_2x1**: Adds the lower half block (▄) to **NCBLIT_1x1**.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_1x1x4**: Adds three shaded full blocks (▓▒░) to **NCBLIT_1x1**.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_2x2**: Adds left and right half blocks (▌▐) and quadrants (▖▗▟▙) to **NCBLIT_2x1**.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_4x1**: Adds ¼ and ¾ blocks (▂▆) to **NCBLIT_2x1**.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_BRAILLE**: 4 rows and 2 columns of braille (⡀⡄⡆⡇⢀⣀⣄⣆⣇⢠⣠⣤⣦⣧⢰⣰⣴⣶⣷⢸⣸⣼⣾⣿).
|
||
* **NCBLIT_8x1**: Adds ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, and ⅞ blocks (▇▅▃▁) to **NCBLIT_4x1**.
|
||
* **NCBLIT_SIXEL**: Sixel, a 6-by-1 RGB pixel arrangement.
|
||

||
# RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
||
**notcurses_canopen_images** and **notcurses_canopen_videos** returns true if
|
||
images and videos, respecitvely, can be decoded, or false if Notcurses was
|
||
built with insufficient multimedia support.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_from_file** returns an **ncvisual** object on success, or **NULL**
|
||
on failure. Success indicates that the specified **file** was opened, and
|
||
enough data was read to make a firm codec identification. It does not imply
|
||
that the entire file is properly-formed. On failure, **err** will be updated.
|
||
**ncvisual_decode** returns **NCERR_SUCCESS** on success, or **NCERR_EOF** on
|
||
end of file, or some other **nc_err_e** on failure. It likewise updates **err**
|
||
in the event of an error. It is only necessary for multimedia-based visuals.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_from_plane** returns **NULL** if the **ncvisual** cannot be created
|
||
and bound. This is usually due to illegal content in the source **ncplane**.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_render** returns **NULL** on error, and otherwise the plane to
|
||
which the visual was rendered. If **opts->n** is provided, this will be
|
||
**opts->n**. Otherwise, a plane will be created, perfectly sized for the
|
||
visual and the specified blitter.
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_geom** returns non-zero if the **blitter** is invalid.
|
||
|
||
# NOTES
|
||
|
||
Multimedia decoding requires that Notcurses be built with either FFmpeg or
|
||
OpenImageIO support. What formats can be decoded is totally dependent on the
|
||
linked library. OpenImageIO does not support subtitles.
|
||
|
||
# BUGS
|
||
|
||
**ncvisual_rotate** currently supports only **M_PI**/2 and -**M_PI**/2
|
||
radians for **rads**, but this will change soon.
