@rgba-image/gray v0.1.0

gray

Work with 1 byte per pixel data

install

npm install @rgba-image/gray

usage

createGray

Creates an object similar to an ImageData, but the length of the .data property is width * height rather than width * height * 4

const { createGray } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

const width = 5
const height = 10
const gray = createGray( width, height )

const data = new Uint8ClampedArray( width, height )

data.fill( 127 )

const grayFromData = createGray( width, height, data )

extractChannel

Extract a single channel from the RGBA data

const { ALPHA_CHANNEL, extractChannel } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get some image here

const alpha = extractChannel( image, ALPHA_CHANNEL )

const x = 2
const y = 3
const width = 5
const height = 7

const alphaFromRegion = extractChannel( image, ALPHA_CHANNEL, x, y, width, height )

The channels are defined as numbers 0-3:

export const RED_CHANNEL = 0
export const GREEN_CHANNEL = 1
export const BLUE_CHANNEL = 2
export const ALPHA_CHANNEL = 3

There are aliases for extractChannel where you can omit the channel argument:

• extractRed
• extractGreen
• extractBlue
• extractAlpha

You can also get back an array of channels with extractRgba:

const { extractRgba } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get some image here

const [ red, green, blue, alpha ] = extractRgba( image )

maskImage

Mask the destination pixels using a GrayImage:

const { maskImage } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get an image in ImageData format and a mask in `GrayData` format here

maskImage( mask, image )


//mask a region:
const sourceX = 2
const sourceY = 3
const sourceWidth = 5
const sourceHeight = 7
const destX = 4
const destY = 6

maskImage( mask, image, sourceX, sourceY, sourceWith, sourceHeight, destX, destY )

fromAverage

Create a new GrayData image from an ImageData instance, the gray will be the average of the red, green and blue channels, ignoring alpha:

const { fromAverage } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get an image here

const averaged = fromAverage( image )

// from a region:
const x = 2
const y = 3
const width = 5
const height = 7

const averagedFromRegion = fromRegion( image, x, y, width, height )

fromLightness

Convert an image to grayscale.

Creates a new GrayData image from an ImageData instance, the gray will be the perceived lightness of the red, green and blue channels, ignoring alpha:

const { fromLightness } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get an image here

const grayscale = fromLightness( image )

// from a region:
const x = 2
const y = 3
const width = 5
const height = 7

const grayscaleFromRegion = fromLightness( image, x, y, width, height )

grayToImage

Create a normal ImageData instance from a GrayData instance

const { grayToImage } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get a gray image here

const image = grayToImage( gray )

// from a region
const x = 2
const y = 3
const width = 5
const height = 7

const imageFromRegion = grayToImage( gray, x, y, width, height )

// alpha is full opacity by default, you can specify it if you want:

const halfAlphaImage = grayToImage( gray, x, y, width, height, 127 )

combineChannels

Combines four GrayData instances of the same size to create a new ImageData:

const { combineChannels } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

// get your gray channels here

const image = combineChannels( red, green, blue, alpha )

By default, grayToImage and combineChannels use create-image

A factory function is exposed so that you can use a custom createImage, such as create-image-browser:

const createImage = require( '@rgba-image/create-image-browser' )
const { GrayToImageFactory } = require( '@rgba-image/gray' )

const { grayToImage, combineChannels } = GrayToImageFactory( createImage )
