tga-to-png-js

This is a TypeScript library which contains a function which converts a Truevision TGA .tga image file into a .png file by using sharp.

Installation and Usage

$ npm install --save-dev @sean_kenny/tga-to-png-js
# or
$ yarn add -D @sean_kenny/tga-to-png-js

An output file can be generated by calling the transformTgaFileToPngFile function as below.

const { metadata } = transformTgaFileToPngFile({
  inputFilePath: 'path/to/the/file/you/want/to/read/file.tga',
  outputFilePath: 'path/to/wherever/you/want/to/write/to/file.png'
})

A .png file will be written to outputFilePath and you will receive metadata in the following format.

{
  "imageIdLengthBytes": 0,
  "colourMapPresent": false,
  "imageType": "RUN_LENGTH_ENCODED_TRUE_COLOUR_IMAGE",
  "colourMapSpecification": {
    "firstEntryIndex": 0,
    "numberOfEntriesInColourMap": 0,
    "colourMapEntrySizeBits": 0
  },
  "imageSpecification": {
    "xOrigin": 0,
    "yOrigin": 0,
    "imageWidthPx": 128,
    "imageHeightPx": 128,
    "imageBitsPerPixel": 24,
    "alphaChannelDepth": 1,
    "horizontalPixelOrdering": "RIGHT_TO_LEFT",
    "verticalPixelOrdering": "BOTTOM_TO_TOP"
  }
}
