NAME

6       Image::Info:BMP - Windows Device Indepdent Bitmap support for
7       Image::Info
8

SYNOPSIS

10        use Image::Info qw(image_info dim);
11
12        my $info = image_info("image.bmp");
13        if (my $error = $info->{error}) {
14            die "Can't parse image info: $error\n";
15        }
16        my $color = $info->{color_type};
17
18        my($w, $h) = dim($info);

DESCRIPTION

21       This modules supplies the standard key names except for Gamma,
22       Interlace, LastModificationTime, as well as:
23
24       BMP_ColorsImportant
25           Specifies the number of color indexes that are required for
26           displaying the bitmap. If this value is zero, all colors are
27           required.
28
29       BMP_Origin
30           If true the bitmap is a bottom-up DIB and its origin is the lower-
31           left corner.  Otherwise, the bitmap is a top-down DIB and its
32           origin is the upper-left corner.
33
34       ColorPalette
35           Reference to an array of all colors used.  This key is only present
36           if "image_info" is invoked as "image_info($file, ColorPalette=>1)".
37
38       ColorTableSize
39           The number of colors the image uses.  If 0 then this is a true
40           color image.  The number of color available is 2 ^ BitsPerSample.
41

METHODS

43   process_file()
44               $info->process_file($source, $options);
45
46       Processes one file and sets the found info fields in the $info object.

56       Random notes:
57
58         warn if height is negative and compress is not RGB or BITFILEDS (0 or 3)
59         ICO and CUR support?
60         ### v5
61         If bit depth is 0, it relies upon underlying JPG/PNG :-(

70           DWORD        bV5GammaGreen;
71           DWORD        bV5GammaBlue;
72           DWORD        bV5Intent;
73           DWORD        bV5ProfileData;
74           DWORD        bV5ProfileSize;
75

DIAGNOSTICS

77       Size mismatch
78           The image may be correct, the filesize does not match the
79           internally stored value.
80

BUGS

82       The current implementation only function on little-endian
83       architectures.  Consequently erroneous data concerning compression
84       (including file_ext and file_mime_type) may be reported.
