The factory is implemented as a static class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkMode()

static AccessMode Exiv2::ImageFactory::checkMode	(	int	type,
		MetadataId	metadataId
	)

static

Returns the access mode or supported metadata functions for an image type and a metadata type.

Parameters

type	The image type.
metadataId	The metadata identifier.

Returns: Access mode for the requested image type and metadata identifier.

Exceptions

Error(kerUnsupportedImageType) if the image type is not supported.

◆ checkType()

static bool Exiv2::ImageFactory::checkType	(	int	type,
		BasicIo &	io,
		bool	advance
	)

static

Determine if the content of io is an image of type.

The advance flag determines if the read position in the stream is moved (see below). This applies only if the type matches and the function returns true. If the type does not match, the stream position is not changed. However, if reading from the stream fails, the stream position is undefined. Consult the stream state to obtain more information in this case.

Parameters

type	Type of the image.
io	BasicIo instance to read from.
advance	Flag indicating whether the position of the io should be advanced by the number of characters read to analyse the data (true) or left at its original position (false). This applies only if the type matches.

Returns: true if the data matches the type of this class;
false if the data does not match

◆ create() [1/3]

static Image::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::create ( int type )

static

Create an Image subclass of the requested type by creating a new image in memory.

Parameters

type	Type of the image to be created.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an Image instance of the requested type.

Exceptions

Error If the image type is not supported

◆ create() [2/3]

static Image::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::create	(	int	type,
		BasicIo::AutoPtr	io
	)

static

Create an Image subclass of the requested type by writing a new image to a BasicIo instance. If the BasicIo instance already contains data, it will be overwritten.

Parameters

type	Type of the image to be created.
io	An auto-pointer that owns a BasicIo instance that will be written to when creating a new image.

Note: This method 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.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an Image instance of the requested type. If the image type is not supported, the pointer is 0.

◆ create() [3/3]

static Image::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::create	(	int	type,
		const std::string &	path
	)

static

Create an Image subclass of the requested type by creating a new image file. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.

Parameters

type	Type of the image to be created.
path	Image file to create. File extension is ignored.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an Image instance of the requested type.

Exceptions

Error If the image type is not supported.

◆ createIo()

static BasicIo::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::createIo	(	const std::string &	path,
		bool	useCurl = `true`
	)

static

Create the appropriate class type implemented BasicIo based on the protocol of the input.

"-" path implies the data from stdin and it is handled by StdinIo. Http path can be handled by either HttpIo or CurlIo. Https, ftp paths are handled by CurlIo. Ssh, sftp paths are handled by SshIo. Others are handled by FileIo.

Parameters

path	Image file.
useCurl	Indicate whether the libcurl is used or not. If it's true, http is handled by CurlIo. Otherwise it is handled by HttpIo.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an BasicIo instance.

Exceptions

Error If the file is not found or it is unable to connect to the server to read the remote file.

◆ getType() [1/3]

static int Exiv2::ImageFactory::getType ( BasicIo & io )

static

Returns the image type of data provided by a BasicIo instance. The passed in io instance is (re)opened by this method.

Parameters

io	A BasicIo instance that provides image data. The contents of the image data are tested to determine the type.

Returns: Image type or Image::none if the type is not recognized.

◆ getType() [2/3]

static int Exiv2::ImageFactory::getType	(	const byte *	data,
		long	size
	)

static

Returns the image type of the provided data buffer.

Parameters

data	Pointer to a data buffer containing an image. The contents of the memory are tested to determine the image type.
size	Number of bytes pointed to by data.

Returns: Image type or Image::none if the type is not recognized.

◆ getType() [3/3]

static int Exiv2::ImageFactory::getType ( const std::string & path )

static

Returns the image type of the provided file.

Parameters

path	Image file. The contents of the file are tested to determine the image type. File extension is ignored.

Returns: Image type or Image::none if the type is not recognized.

◆ open() [1/3]

static Image::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::open ( BasicIo::AutoPtr io )

static

Create an Image subclass of the appropriate type by reading the provided BasicIo instance. Image type is derived from the data provided by io. The passed in io instance is (re)opened by this method.

Parameters

io	An auto-pointer that owns a BasicIo instance that provides image data. The contents of the image data are tested to determine the type.

Note: This method 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.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an Image instance whose type matches that of the io data. If no image type could be determined, the pointer is 0.

Exceptions

Error If opening the BasicIo fails

◆ open() [2/3]

static Image::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::open	(	const byte *	data,
		long	size
	)

static

Create an Image subclass of the appropriate type by reading the provided memory. Image type is derived from the memory contents.

Parameters

data	Pointer to a data buffer containing an image. The contents of the memory are tested to determine the image type.
size	Number of bytes pointed to by data.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an Image instance whose type matches that of the data buffer.

Exceptions

Error If the memory contains data of an unknown image type.

◆ open() [3/3]

static Image::AutoPtr Exiv2::ImageFactory::open	(	const std::string &	path,
		bool	useCurl = `true`
	)

static

Create an Image subclass of the appropriate type by reading the specified file. Image type is derived from the file contents.

Parameters

path	Image file. The contents of the file are tested to determine the image type. File extension is ignored.
useCurl	Indicate whether the libcurl is used or not. If it's true, http is handled by CurlIo. Otherwise it is handled by HttpIo.

Returns: An auto-pointer that owns an Image instance whose type matches that of the file.

Exceptions

Error If opening the file fails or it contains data of an unknown image type.

Examples: addmoddel.cpp, exifcomment.cpp, exifdata.cpp, exifprint.cpp, exifvalue.cpp, exiv2json.cpp, geotag.cpp, iptceasy.cpp, iptcprint.cpp, metacopy.cpp, mrwthumb.cpp, and xmpprint.cpp.
