Image list support

AppendImageToList

Synopsis

AppendImageToList( Image ** images, Image *image );

Description

AppendImageToList() appends an image to the end of the list. Please note that this API allows the list pointer ('images') to be updated and in fact it now updates the list pointer to be the image (or the end of the image list) which was just added. This means that GetFirstImageInList() must be used to retrieve the head of the list.

If image is NULL, then there is no effect

The format of the AppendImageToList method is:

AppendImageToList( Image ** images, Image *image );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

image:

The image.

CloneImageList

Synopsis

Image *CloneImageList( const Image *images, ExceptionInfo *exception );

Description

CloneImageList() returns a duplicate of the image list. Although all image metadata and the colormap are duplicated (deep copy), the image pixel caches (which contain the pixel data) use reference counting so duplicating the list does not double the resource consumption.

If images is NULL, then NULL is returned.

The format of the CloneImageList method is:

Image *CloneImageList( const Image *images, ExceptionInfo *exception );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

exception:

Return any errors or warnings in this structure.

DeleteImageFromList

Synopsis

DeleteImageFromList( Image ** images );

Description

DeleteImageFromList() deletes the currently-referenced image from the list and destroys it.

If images is NULL, then there is no effect.

The format of the DeleteImageFromList method is:

DeleteImageFromList( Image ** images );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

DestroyImageList

Synopsis

void DestroyImageList( Image *image );

Description

DestroyImageList() destroys an image list.

If the image pointer is NULL, then there is no effect.

The format of the DestroyImageList method is:

void DestroyImageList( Image *image );

A description of each parameter follows:

image:

The image sequence.

GetFirstImageInList

Synopsis

Image *GetFirstImageInList( const Image *images );

Description

GetFirstImageInList() returns a pointer to the first image in the list. If the images list is NULL, then NULL is returned.

If images have been appended to the list using AppendImageToList(), then using GetFirstImageInList() is necessary to get the head of the list.

The format of the GetFirstImageInList method is:

Image *GetFirstImageInList( const Image *images );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

GetImageFromList

Synopsis

Image *GetImageFromList( const Image *images, const long offset );

Description

GetImageFromList() returns an image at the specified offset from the head of the list. Negative 'offset' values currently have no meaning.

If the images list is NULL, then NULL is returned.

The format of the GetImageFromList method is:

Image *GetImageFromList( const Image *images, const long offset );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

offset:

The position within the list.

GetImageIndexInList

Synopsis

long GetImageIndexInList( const Image *images );

Description

GetImageIndexInList() returns the offset in the list of the specified image.

If the images list is NULL, then the value negative one (-1) is returned.

The format of the GetImageIndexInList method is:

long GetImageIndexInList( const Image *images );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

GetImageListLength

Synopsis

unsigned long GetImageListLength( const Image *images );

Description

GetImageListLength() returns the length of the list (the number of images in the whole list). This function may be performed given any member of the list.

If the images list is NULL, then the value zero (0) is returned.

The format of the GetImageListLength method is:

unsigned long GetImageListLength( const Image *images );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

GetLastImageInList

Synopsis

Image *GetLastImageInList( const Image *images );

Description

GetLastImageInList() returns a pointer to the last image in the list, given a pointer to any image in the list.

If the images list is NULL, then NULL is returned.

The format of the GetLastImageInList method is:

Image *GetLastImageInList( const Image *images );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

GetNextImageInList

Synopsis

Image *GetNextImageInList( const Image *images );

Description

GetNextImageInList() returns the next image in the list given a pointer to an image in the list.

If the images list is NULL, then NULL is returned.

The format of the GetNextImageInList method is:

Image *GetNextImageInList( const Image *images );

A description of each parameter follows:

images:

The image list.

GetPreviousImageInList

Synopsis

Image *GetPreviousImageInList( const Image *images );

Description

GetPreviousImageInList() returns the previous image in the list given a pointer to an image in the list.

If the images list is NULL, then NULL is returned.

images:

The image list.

InsertImageInList

Synopsis

InsertImageInList( Image ** images, Image *image );

The image.

RemoveFirstImageFromList

Synopsis

Image *RemoveFirstImageFromList( Image ** images );

Description

RemoveFirstImageFromList() removes an image from the beginning of the list. A pointer to the removed image is returned and should be destroyed when no longer needed. In conjunction with AppendImageToList(), this could be used to implement a producer/consumer model.
