Output image data to a destination: file, canvas, console, stdout, ImageData etc.
var output = require('image-output')
// create chess pattern png from raw pixels data
output({
data: [0,0,0,1, 1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1, 0,0,0,1],
width: 2,
height: 2
}, 'chess.png')Output pixel data source to a destination based on options. Undefined destination displays image to console/stdout. The operation is done in sync fashion.
Shoud be an actual image data container, one of:
- Canvas, Context2D, WebGLContext
- ImageData
- Object
{data: Uint8Array, width, height} - DataURL or base64 string
- Image, Video, ImageBitmap with resolved data
- Array, Array of Arrays, Uint8Array, FloatArray with raw pixels
- ArrayBuffer, Buffer
- Ndarray
Handy for that purpose is image-pixels:
var pixels = require('image-pixels')
output(await pixels('image.png'), 'image-copy.png')Can be any image output destination:
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| String | File to create or path, in node. If includes extension, mimeType is detected from it. |
| Canvas2D, Context2D | Render pixel data into a canvas. Canvas is resized to fit the image data. To avoid resizing, use options.clip property. |
document, Element |
Create a canvas with diff data in document or element. |
console |
Display image to console in browser or to terminal in node. |
| Array / FloatArray | Write pixel data normalized to [0..1] range to a float-enabled array. |
| UintArray | Put pixel data to any unsigned int array. |
| Buffer / ArrayBuffer | Put pixel data into a buffer, possibly encoded into target format by options.type. |
| Ndarray | Write pixel data into an ndarray. |
| ImageData | Put data into ImageData instance, browser only. |
| Object | Create data, width and height properties on an object. |
| Function | Call a function with ImageData as argument. |
| Stream | Send data to stream, eg. process.stdout. |
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
width, height |
Explicitly indicate input data shape (columns, rows), if input has no dimensions info. |
type / mime |
Encode into target type, by default detected from file extension. By default image/png. |
quality |
Defines encoding quality, 0..1, optional. By default 1. |
...rest |
Rest of options is passed to encoder. |
You can choose color palette with flags or environment variable FORCE_COLOR=0123
node ./script.js --no-color
node ./script.js --color
node ./script.js --color=256
node ./script.js --color=16m
- image-equal − compare if two images are equal.
- image-pixels − load image data from any source.
- image-encode − encode image data into one of the target formats.
- save-pixels − output ndarray with image pixels to a file.
- terminal-image − print image to a terminal.
