Hi Ginger
Download it from here:
http://www.purearea.net/pb/download/use ... LE_2.3.zip
Unzip it in your PureBasic folder so that the library file goes into
C:\Program Files\PureBasic\PureLibraries\UserLibraries
and put the EC_ImagePluginOLE.chm help file into
C:\Program Files\PureBasic\Help
(NB: your installed path may be different)
There's some example code in the zip file too.
Compile this for a very basic gif2jpg app.
Drag a .gif file onto the compiled exe and it will render as jpg.
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#imgGif
EndEnumeration
UseEC_OLEImageDecoder()
UseJPEGImageEncoder()
; check for command line parameters
filename.s = Trim(ProgramParameter())
If filename <> ""
If LoadImage(#imgGif, filename) ;load this image
filename=ReplaceString(filename,".gif",".jpg")
SaveImage(#imgGif, filename ,#PB_ImagePlugin_JPEG, 9 ) ;save as jpg
FreeImage(#imgGif)
EndIf
EndIf
There's quite a few user-libs here:

Just a side note.. (didnt read your posts sorry) the GIF licence expired some time ago... so no trouble whatsover. Its just a myth on the net now and I guess not many persons got the good news (although as el choni stated, it IS quite obsolete) for some reason some programmers still like them.. and want support for them though.

I don't suppose there's a chance this fella can decode png, is there? It'd be nice to just use this image library instead of having to use the decode png library as well. My program jumps like 90kb just for using the png library >_>

Any chance this could be updated to PB4?

I have a PPM plugin, I haven't tested it with PB4, I'll tell you this evening when I'm home.

I only had to change the BSS section, it works:
http://www.inicia.es/de/elchoni/EC_ImagePluginPPM.zip
To use it:
Code: Select all
UseEC_PPMImageDecoder()
UseEC_PPMImageEncoder()
To save:
I also have plugins for PBM, PGM, XPM, XBM, WBMP and IFF, just in case somebody needs those.

IFF format is super helpful over here
Thank you El_Chroni .. I'll run the plugin against PB4 when I get home.

BTW, forgot to tell you, it saves in PPM/P3 by default (loads both P3 and P6). If you want to save in P6 format, use:
Code: Select all
UseEC_P6ImageEncoder()
;
SaveImage(0, FileName$, 'P6')
And here's the IFF plugin:
http://www.inicia.es/de/elchoni/EC_ImagePluginIFF.zip
The decoder is always thread safe, but the encoder isn't. The decoder supports classic palete IFF, IFF 24, ILBM, PBM, HB, EHB, HAM5-6-7-8-10 (although I haven't found any HAM 5-7-10 to test it, it should work).
It only encodes in IFF24.
To use:
Code: Select all
UseEC_IFFImageDecoder()
UseEC_ILBMImageEncoder()
;
SaveImage(0, FileName$, 'ILBM')
Enjoy it,

damn thats awesome
And threadsafe to boot! The new jpeg decoder for pb4 only adds 30K instead of 90K(?) like previous versions. However, yours have alot more decoding power

G'day El_Choni, do you have an updated package containing all the decoders that support pb4?
