Detailed Description

Class to access raw GIF images. Exif/IPTC metadata are supported directly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GifImage()

Exiv2::GifImage::GifImage ( BasicIo::AutoPtr io )

explicit

Constructor to open a GIF image. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure.

Parameters

io An auto-pointer that owns a BasicIo instance used for reading and writing image metadata. Important: The constructor takes ownership of the passed in BasicIo instance through the auto-pointer. Callers should not continue to use the BasicIo instance after it is passed to this method. Use the Image::io() method to get a temporary reference.

Member Function Documentation

◆ mimeType()

std::string Exiv2::GifImage::mimeType ( ) const

virtual

Return the MIME type of the image.

Note: For each supported image format, the library knows only one MIME type. This may not be the most specific MIME type for that format. In particular, several RAW formats are variants of the TIFF format with the same magic as TIFF itself. Class TiffImage handles most of them and thus they all have MIME type "image/tiff", although a more specific MIME type may exist (e.g., "image/x-nikon-nef").

Implements Exiv2::Image.

◆ readMetadata()

void Exiv2::GifImage::readMetadata ( )

virtual

Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared.

This method returns success even if no metadata is found in the image. Callers must therefore check the size of individual metadata types before accessing the data.

Exceptions

Error if opening or reading of the file fails or the image data is not valid (does not look like data of the specific image type).
