This value applies to all pixels of the * rectangle. * *-- If the compression type is "jpeg", the following data stream looks like * this: * * 1..3 bytes: data size (N) in compact representation; * N bytes: JPEG image. * * Data size is compactly represented in one, two or three bytes, according * to the following scheme: * * 0xxxxxxx (for values 0..127) * 1xxxxxxx 0yyyyyyy (for values 128..16383) * 1xxxxxxx 1yyyyyyy zzzzzzzz (for values 16384..4194303) * * Here each character denotes one bit, xxxxxxx are the least significant 7 * bits of the value (bits 0-6), yyyyyyy are bits 7-13, and zzzzzzzz are the * most significant 8 bits (bits 14-21). For example, decimal value 10000 * should be represented as two bytes: binary 10010000 01001110, or * hexadecimal 90 4E. * *-- If the compression type is "basic" and bit 6 of the compression control * byte was set to 1, then the next (second) byte specifies "filter id" which * tells the decoder what filter type was used by the encoder to pre-process * pixel data before the compression. The "filter id" byte can be one of the * following: * * 0: no filter ("copy" filter); * 1: "palette" filter; * 2: "gradient" filter. * *-- If bit 6 of the compression control byte is set to 0 (no "filter id" * byte), or if the filter id is 0, then raw pixel values in the client * format (see NOTE 1) will be compressed. See below details on the * compression. * *-- The "gradient" filter pre-processes pixel data with a simple algorithm * which converts each color component to a difference between a "predicted" * intensity and the actual intensity. Such a technique does not affect * uncompressed data size, but helps to compress photo-like images better. * Pseudo-code for converting intensities to differences is the following: * * P[i,j] := V[i-1,j] + V[i,j-1] - V[i-1,j-1]; * if (P[i,j] < 0) then P[i,j] := 0; * if (P[i,j] > MAX) then P[i,j] := MAX; * D[i,j] := V[i,j] - P[i,j]; * * Here V[i,j] is the intensity of a color component for a pixel at * coordinates (i,j). MAX is the maximum value of intensity for a color * component. * *-- The "palette" filter converts true-color pixel data to indexed colors * and a palette which can consist of 2..256 colors. If the number of colors * is 2, then each pixel is encoded in 1 bit, otherwise 8 bits is used to * encode one pixel. 1-bit encoding is performed such way that the most * significant bits correspond to the leftmost pixels, and each raw of pixels * is aligned to the byte boundary. When "palette" filter is used, the * palette is sent before the pixel data. The palette begins with an unsigned * byte which value is the number of colors in the palette minus 1 (i.e. 1 * means 2 colors, 255 means 256 colors in the palette). Then follows the * palette itself which consist of pixel values in client pixel format (see * NOTE 1). * *-- The pixel data is compressed using the zlib library. But if the data * size after applying the filter but before the compression is less then 12, * then the data is sent as is, uncompressed. Four separate zlib streams * (0..3) can be used and the decoder should read the actual stream id from * the compression control byte (see NOTE 2). * * If the compression is not used, then the pixel data is sent as is, * otherwise the data stream looks like this: * * 1..3 bytes: data size (N) in compact representation; * N bytes: zlib-compressed data. * * Data size is compactly represented in one, two or three bytes, just like * in the "jpeg" compression method (see above). * *-- NOTE 1. If the color depth is 24, and all three color components are * 8-bit wide, then one pixel in Tight encoding is always represented by * three bytes, where the first byte is red component, the second byte is * green component, and the third byte is blue component of the pixel color * value. This applies to colors in palettes as well. * *-- NOTE 2. The decoder must reset compression streams' states before * decoding the rectangle, if some of bits 0,1,2,3 in the compression control * byte are set to 1. Note that the decoder must reset zlib streams even if * the compression type is "fill" or "jpeg". * *-- NOTE 3. The "gradient" filter and "jpeg" compression may be used only * when bits-per-pixel value is either 16 or 32, not 8. * *-- NOTE 4.
