imgIContainer

Represents an image in the Gecko rendering engine. It provides access to frames as Thebes surfaces and lets users extract subregions as other imgIContainer objects. It also provides methods for drawing images onto Thebes contexts. Internally, this interface also manages animation of images.

Attributes

Attribute Type Description
animated boolean Whether this image is animated. You can only be guaranteed that querying this will not throw if STATUS_DECODE_COMPLETE is set on the imgIRequest. Read only.
Exceptions thrown
NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE
If the animated state cannot be determined.
animationMode unsigned short  
currentFrame gfxASurface Get a surface for the current frame. This may be a platform-native, optimized frame, so you cannot inspect its pixel data. Read only. Native code only! Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
currentFrameIndex unsigned long The index of the current frame that would be drawn if the image was to be drawn now. Read only. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
currentFrameIsOpaque boolean Whether the current frame is opaque; that is, needs the background painted behind it. Read only.
height PRInt32 The height of the container rectangle. In the case of any error, zero is returned, and an exception will be thrown. Read only.
loopCount long

number of times to loop the image.

Note: -1 means forever.
Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
numFrames unsigned long The total number of frames in this image. Read only. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
preferredAlphaChannelFormat gfx_format Read only. Obsolete since Gecko 1.9.2
type unsigned short The type of this image (one of the TYPE_* values above). Read only.
width PRInt32 The width of the container rectangle. In the case of any error, zero is returned, and an exception will be thrown. Read only.

Constants

Constant Value Description
TYPE_RASTER 0 Enumerated values for the 'type' attribute (below).
TYPE_VECTOR 1
FLAG_NONE 0x0

Flags for imgIContainer operations.

Meanings:

FLAG_NONE: Lack of flags.

FLAG_SYNC_DECODE: Forces synchronous/non-progressive decode of all available data before the call returns. It is an error to pass this flag from a call stack that originates in a decoder (that is, from a decoder observer event).

FLAG_DECODE_NO_PREMULTIPLY_ALPHA: Do not premultiply alpha if it is not already premultiplied in the image data.

FLAG_DECODE_NO_COLORSPACE_CONVERSION: Do not do any colorspace conversion; ignore any embedded profiles, and do not convert to any particular destination space.

FLAG_CLAMP: Extend the image to the fill area by clamping image sample coordinates instead of by tiling. This only affects 'draw()'.
FLAG_SYNC_DECODE 0x1
FLAG_DECODE_NO_PREMULTIPLY_ALPHA 0x2
FLAG_DECODE_NO_COLORSPACE_CONVERSION 0x4
FLAG_CLAMP 0x8
FRAME_FIRST 0

Constants for specifying various "special" frames.

FRAME_FIRST: The first frame FRAME_CURRENT: The current frame.

FRAME_MAX_VALUE should be set to the value of the maximum constant above, as it is used for ensuring that a valid value was passed in.
FRAME_CURRENT 1
FRAME_MAX_VALUE 1
kNormalAnimMode 0 Animation mode Constants 0 = normal 1 = do not animate 2 = loop once.
kDontAnimMode 1  
kLoopOnceAnimMode 2  
kDisposeClearAll -1

"Disposal" method indicates how the image should be handled before the subsequent image is displayed. Do not change these without looking at the implementations using them, struct gif_struct::disposal_method and gif_write() in particular.

Clear() the whole image, revealing. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
kDisposeNotSpecified 0 Leave frame, let new frame draw() on top. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
kDisposeKeep 1 Leave frame, let new frame draw() on top. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
kDisposeClear 2 Clear() the frame's area, revealing bg. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
kDisposeRestorePrevious 3 Restore the previous(composited) frame. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0
kBlendSource 0 All color components of the frame, including alpha, const long kBlendOver = 1; // The frame should be composited onto the output buffer. Obsolete since Gecko 2.0

draw

Draw the current frame on to the context specified.

void draw(

  [const] in gfxRect aFill,
  [const] in nsIntRect aSubimage,

Parameters
aContext
The Thebes context to draw the image to.
aFilter
The filter to be used if we're scaling the image.
aUserSpaceToImageSpace
The transformation from user space (for example, appunits) to image space.
aFill

aSubimage
The area of the image, in pixels, that we are allowed to sample from.
aViewportSize
The size (in CSS pixels) of the viewport that would be available for the full image to occupy, if we were drawing the full image.
