48 This package provides commands to query and modify JPEG images. JPEG
49 stands for Joint Photography Experts Group and is a standard for the
50 lossy compression of photographical images. It is specified at
51 LINK_HERE.
52
54 ::jpeg::isJPEG file
55 Returns a boolean value indicating if file is a JPEG image.
56 ::jpeg::imageInfo file
58 Returns a dictionary with keys version, units, xdensity, yden‐
59 sity, xthumb, and ythumb. The values are the associated proper‐
60 ties of the JPEG image in file. Throws an error if file is not
61 a JPEG image.
62 ::jpeg::dimensions file
64 Returns the dimensions of the JPEG file as a list of the hori‐
65 zontal and vertical pixel count. Throws an error if file is not
66 a JPEG image.
67 ::jpeg::getThumbnail file
69 This procedure will return the binary thumbnail image data, if a
70 JPEG thumbnail is included in file, and the empty string other‐
71 wise. Note that it is possible to include thumbnails in formats
72 other than JPEG although that is not common. The command finds
73 thumbnails that are encoded in either the JFXX or EXIF segments
74 of the JPEG information. If both are present the EXIF thumbnail
75 will take precedence. Throws an error if file is not a JPEG
76 image.
77 set fh [open thumbnail.jpg w+]
79 puts -nonewline $fh [::jpeg::getThumbnail photo.jpg]
80 close $fh
81 ::jpeg::getExif file ?section?
84 section must be one of main or thumbnail. The default is main.
85 Returns a dictionary containing the EXIF information for the
86 specified section. For example:
87 set exif {
90 Make Canon
91 Model {Canon DIGITAL IXUS}
92 DateTime {2001:06:09 15:17:32}
93 }
94 Throws an error if file is not a JPEG image.
96 ::jpeg::formatExif keys
98 Takes a list of key-value pairs as returned by getExif and for‐
99 mats many of the values into a more human readable form. As few
100 as one key-value may be passed in, the entire exif is not
101 required.
102 foreach {key val} [::jpeg::formatExif [::jpeg::getExif photo.jpg]] {
104 puts "$key: $val"
105 }
106 array set exif [::jpeg::getExif photo.jpg]
110 puts "max f-stop: [::jpeg::formatExif [list MaxAperture $exif(MaxAperture)]]
111 ::jpeg::exifKeys
114 Returns a list of the EXIF keys which are currently understood.
115 There may be keys present in getExif data that are not under‐
116 stood. Those keys will appear in a 4 digit hexadecimal format.
117 ::jpeg::removeExif file
119 Removes the Exif data segment from the specified file and
120 replaces it with a standard JFIF segment. Throws an error if
121 file is not a JPEG image.
122 ::jpeg::stripJPEG file
124 Removes all metadata from the JPEG file leaving only the image.
125 This includes comments, EXIF segments, JFXX segments, and appli‐
126 cation specific segments. Throws an error if file is not a JPEG
127 image.
128 ::jpeg::getComments file
130 Returns a list containing all the JPEG comments found in the
131 file. Throws an error if file is not a valid JPEG image.
132 ::jpeg::addComment file text...
134 Adds one or more plain text comments to the JPEG image in file.
135 Throws an error if file is not a valid JPEG image.
136 ::jpeg::removeComments file
138 Removes all comments from the file specified. Throws an error
139 if file is not a valid JPEG image.
140 ::jpeg::replaceComment file text
142 Replaces the first comment in the file with the new text. This
143 is merely a shortcut for ::jpeg::removeComments and ::jpeg::add‐
144 Comment Throws an error if file is not a valid JPEG image.
145 ::jpeg::debug file
147 Prints everything we know about the given file in a nice format.
148 ::jpeg::markers channel
150 This is an internal helper command, we document it for use by
151 advanced users of the package. The argument channel is an open
152 file handle positioned at the start of the first marker (usually
153 2 bytes). The command returns a list with one element for each
154 JFIF marker found in the file. Each element consists of a list
155 of the marker name, its offset in the file, and its length. The
156 offset points to the beginning of the sections data, not the
157 marker itself. The length is the length of the data from the
158 offset listed to the start of the next marker.
