pixel-stack v0.2.1

pixel-stack

Interface to composite RGB/RGBA buffers together into larger buffers representing images.

How to use

var PixelStack = require('pixel-stack');
var stack = new PixelStack;
stack.fill([0,0,0]);
stack.push([255,255,255,255,255,255], 0, 0, 2, 1);
stack.push([255,255,255,255,255,255], 0, 1, 2, 1);
stack.buffer();

API

PixelStack(Number width, Number height, String type)

• type can be 'rgb' or 'rgba'. Defaults to rgb.

PixelStack#push(Buffer data, Number w, Number h, Number x, Number y, Number stride)

• Inserts the data pixel buffer at the coordinates x,y
• data can be any Array-like datastructure (Buffer, ArrayBuffer).
• stride can be a Number representing the size in bytes of each row, in case there's byte padding.
• Returns the PixelStack instance.

PixelStack#fill(Buffer data)

• Sets the given data pixel buffer as background color.
• If not called, it'll default to filling with black (0,0,0) upon the first call to push or buffer.
• Returns the PixelStack instance.

PixelStack#width()

• Returns the width of the stack. Useful when not specified in the constructor and calculated dynamically.

PixelStack#height()

• Returns the height of the stack. Useful when not specified in the constructor and calculated dynamically.

PixelStack#buffer()

• Returns the calculated pixel Buffer.

PixelStack#destroy()

• Cleans the internal buffer.
