Class: Vips::SourceCustom

Inherits:

Defined in:
lib/vips/sourcecustom.rb

Overview

A source you can attach action signal handlers to to implement custom input types.

For example:

file = File.open "some/file/name", "rb"
source = Vips::SourceCustom.new
source.on_read { |length| file.read length }
image = Vips::Image.new_from_source source

(just an example -- of course in practice you'd use Vips::Source.new_from_file to read from a named file)

Instance Method Details

#on_read {|length| ... } ⇒ Object

The block is executed to read data from the source. The interface is exactly as IO::read, ie. it takes a maximum number of bytes to read and returns a string of bytes from the source, or nil if the source is already at end of file.

Yield Parameters:

  • length (Integer) —

    Read and return up to this many bytes

Yield Returns:

  • (String) —

    Up to length bytes of data, or nil for EOF

# File 'lib/vips/sourcecustom.rb', line 60

def on_read &block
  signal_connect "read" do |buf, len|
    chunk = block.call len
    return 0 if chunk.nil?
    bytes_read = chunk.bytesize
    buf.put_bytes(0, chunk, 0, bytes_read)
    chunk.clear

    bytes_read
  end
end

#on_seek {|offset, whence| ... } ⇒ Object

The block is executed to seek the source. The interface is exactly as IO::seek, ie. it should take an offset and whence, and return the new read position.

This handler is optional -- if you do not attach a seek handler, Vips::Source will treat your source like an unseekable pipe object and do extra caching.

Yield Parameters:

  • offset (Integer) —

    Seek offset

  • whence (Integer) —

    Seek whence

Yield Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    the new read position, or -1 on error
