Image::Info:BMP(3) Windows Device Indepdent Bitmap support for Image::Info

SYNOPSIS


use Image::Info qw(image_info dim);
my $info = image_info("image.bmp");
if (my $error = $info->{error}) {
die "Can't parse image info: $error\n";
}
my $color = $info->{color_type};
my($w, $h) = dim($info);

DESCRIPTION

This modules supplies the standard key names except for Gamma, Interlace, LastModificationTime, as well as:
BMP_ColorsImportant
Specifies the number of color indexes that are required for displaying the bitmap. If this value is zero, all colors are required.
BMP_Origin
If true the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB and its origin is the lower-left corner. Otherwise, the bitmap is a top-down DIB and its origin is the upper-left corner.
ColorPalette
Reference to an array of all colors used. This key is only present if "image_info" is invoked as "image_info($file, ColorPalette=>1)".
ColorTableSize
The number of colors the image uses. If 0 then this is a true color image. The number of color available is 2 ^ BitsPerSample.

METHODS

process_file()

        $info->process_file($source, $options);

Processes one file and sets the found info fields in the $info object.

Random notes: 

  warn if height is negative and compress is not RGB or BITFILEDS (0 or 3)
  ICO and CUR support?
  ### v5
  If bit depth is 0, it relies upon underlying JPG/PNG :-(

DIAGNOSTICS

Size mismatch
The image may be correct, the filesize does not match the internally stored value.

BUGS

The current implementation only function on little-endian architectures. Consequently erroneous data concerning compression (including file_ext and file_mime_type) may be reported.
