Bitmap/PPM conversion through a pipe
Using the data storage type defined on this page for raster images, delegate writing a JPEG file through a pipe using the output_ppm function defined on this other page.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
There are various utilities that can be used for this task, for example: cjpeg (package "jpeg-progs" on Linux, or "media-libs/libjpeg-turbo" on Gentoo), ppmtojpeg (package "netpbm" on Linux), convert (from ImageMagick, multi-platform).
ATS
I use the magick
command from ImageMagick. You need all the source files from Bitmap#ATS, Bitmap/Read_a_PPM_file#ATS, and Bitmap/Write_a_PPM_file#ATS. (You do not need the files from Grayscale_image#ATS.)
See also Bitmap/Read_an_image_through_a_pipe#ATS.
(* This program uses ImageMagick to convert an image, with the target
file specified according to the conventions of ImageMagick. That
allows such things as "gif:foobar.jpg" to mean a GIF named
"foobar.jpg". But, if you leave out the "gif:" prefix, ImageMagick
will make a JPEG. (I notice that one can also insert options to
magick, although this was an unexpected result of my design.) *)

(* There is support for pipe-I/O in libats/libc, but I cannot (at
least when in a hurry) figure out how it is supposed to be
used. So, as elsewhere in the "raster graphics operations"
category, what is not in the prelude itself I implement with the
foreign function interfaces. :) Using FFI is a typical part of ATS
programming, and one should get used to doing it.
Anyway, here is some UNSAFE support for pipe-I/O. *)

C
This one uses the ImageMagick convert tool.
/* interface */
void print_jpg(image img, int qual);
#define MAXCMDBUF 100
void print_jpg(image img, int qual)
{
char buf[MAXCMDBUF];
unsigned int n;
FILE *pipe;
snprintf(buf, MAXCMDBUF, "convert ppm:- -quality %d jpg:-", qual);
pipe = popen(buf, "w");
if ( pipe != NULL )
{
fprintf(pipe, "P6\n%d %d\n255\n", img->width, img->height);
n = img->width * img->height;
fwrite(img->buf, sizeof(pixel), n, pipe);
pclose(pipe);
}
}
The code that writes to the pipe is the same of output_ppm of course. A complete example is
#include "imglib.h"
int main()
{
image img;
img = alloc_img(100,100);
fill_img(img, 50, 20, 200);
draw_line(img, 0, 0, 80, 80, 255, 0, 0);
print_jpg(img, 75);
free_img(img);
}
In order to make it working, you must link it with the raster image functions given by the codes here and here
Go
(Go 1 should be close)
Using cjpeg:
package main
// Files required to build supporting package raster are found in:
// * Bitmap
// * Write a PPM file
import (
"fmt"
"math/rand"
"os/exec"
"raster"
)
func main() {
b := raster.NewBitmap(400, 300)
// a little extravagant, this draws a design of dots and lines
b.FillRgb(0xc08040)
for i := 0; i < 2000; i++ {
b.SetPxRgb(rand.Intn(400), rand.Intn(300), 0x804020)
}
for x := 0; x < 400; x++ {
for y := 240; y < 245; y++ {
b.SetPxRgb(x, y, 0x804020)
}

Kotlin
In order to provide a complete runnable example, we repeat bits of code from other relevant tasks and add code which pipes .ppm data to ImageMagick's 'convert' tool which then writes the corresponding .jpg file to disk.
// Version 1.2.40

import java.awt.Graphics

class BasicBitmapStorage(width: Int, height: Int) {
val image = BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR)

val g = image.graphics
g.color = c
g.fillRect(0, 0, image.width, image.height)
}
fun setPixel(x: Int, y: Int, c: Color) = image.setRGB(x, y, c.getRGB())
fun getPixel(x: Int, y: Int) = Color(image.getRGB(x, y))
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
// create BasicBitmapStorage object
val width = 640
val height = 640
val bbs = BasicBitmapStorage(width, height)
for (y in 0 until height) {
for (x in 0 until width) {
val c = Color(x % 256, y % 256, (x * y) % 256)
bbs.setPixel(x, y, c)
}
}
// now write the object in PPM format to ImageMagick's STDIN via a pipe
// so it can be converted to a .jpg file and written to disk
val pb = ProcessBuilder("convert", "-", "output_piped.jpg")
pb.directory(null)
pb.redirectInput(ProcessBuilder.Redirect.PIPE)
val buffer = ByteArray(width * 3) // write one line at a time
val proc = pb.start()
val pStdIn = proc.outputStream
pStdIn.use {
val header = "P6\n$width $height\n255\n".toByteArray()
with (it) {
write(header)
for (y in 0 until height) {
for (x in 0 until width) {
val c = bbs.getPixel(x, y)
buffer[x * 3] = c.red.toByte()
buffer[x * 3 + 1] = c.green.toByte()
buffer[x * 3 + 2] = c.blue.toByte()
}
write(buffer)
}
}
}
}

Nim
We use "convert" command from ImageMagick and "pnmtojpeg" command from Netpbm. The first command allows to specify the output file name, the second writes to stdout and, so, we have to use a redirection. Thus, the way to launch the process is slightly different.

var image = newImage(100, 50)
image.fill(color(255, 0, 0))

for col in 0..<image.w:
image[col, row] = color(0, 255, 0)
for row in 30..40:
for col in 0..<image.w:
image[col, row] = color(0, 0, 255)
# Launch ImageMagick "convert".
# Input is taken from stdin and result written in "output1.jpeg".
var p = startProcess("convert", args = ["ppm:-", "output1.jpeg"], options = {poUsePath})
var stream = p.inputStream()
image.writePPM(stream)
p.close()
# Launch Netpbm "pnmtojpeg".
# Input is taken from stdin and output sent to "output2.jpeg".

Referring to Write ppm file#Tcl and Basic bitmap storage#Tcl
package require Tk
proc output_jpeg {image filename {quality 75}} {
set f [open |[list convert ppm:- -quality $quality jpg:- > $filename] w]
fconfigure $f -translation binary
puts -nonewline $f [$image data -format ppm]

However, it is more normal to do this directly with the

package require Tk
package require img::jpeg
proc output_jpeg {image filename} {
$image write $filename -format jpeg
}
set img [image create photo -filename filename.ppm]
output_jpeg $img filename.jpg
Wren
As DOME doesn't have a method for calling an external process (ImageMagick in this case), we first need to create a small plug-in in C to add this functionality.
/* gcc -O3 -std=c11 -shared -o pipeconv.so -fPIC -I./include pipeconv.c */
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

"foreign static convert(from, to) \n"
"} \n";
void C_convert(WrenVM* vm) {
const char *from = wren->getSlotString(vm, 1);
const char *to = wren->getSlotString(vm, 2);
char command[strlen(from) + strlen(to) + 10];
strcpy(command, "convert ");
strcat(command, from);
strcat(command, " ");
strcat(command, to);
int res = system(command);
}
DOME_EXPORT DOME_Result PLUGIN_onInit(DOME_getAPIFunction DOME_getAPI, DOME_Context ctx) {
core = DOME_getAPI(API_DOME, DOME_API_VERSION);
wren = DOME_getAPI(API_WREN, WREN_API_VERSION);
core->registerModule(ctx, "pipeconv", source);
core->registerClass(ctx, "pipeconv", "PipeConv", NULL, NULL);
core->registerFn(ctx, "pipeconv", "static PipeConv.convert(_,_)", C_convert);
return DOME_RESULT_SUCCESS;
}
DOME_EXPORT DOME_Result PLUGIN_preUpdate(DOME_Context ctx) {
return DOME_RESULT_SUCCESS;
}
DOME_EXPORT DOME_Result PLUGIN_postUpdate(DOME_Context ctx) {
return DOME_RESULT_SUCCESS;
}
DOME_EXPORT DOME_Result PLUGIN_preDraw(DOME_Context ctx) {

return DOME_RESULT_SUCCESS;
}
DOME_EXPORT DOME_Result PLUGIN_onShutdown(DOME_Context ctx) {
return DOME_RESULT_SUCCESS;
}
This assumes that the dome.h header file is copied to an include sub-directory of the current one and that the resulting pipeconv.so shared library file is created in the latter.
We can now use this plug-in in the following script which calls ImageMagick to convert the output.ppm file to a jpg file and then loads the latter and displays it.
import "graphics" for Canvas, ImageData
import "dome" for Window
import "plugin" for Plugin
Plugin.load("pipeconv")
import "pipeconv" for PipeConv
class ConvertPPM {
construct new(fileName, fileName2, width, height) {
Window.resize(width, height)
Canvas.resize(width, height)
Window.title = "Convert PPM file via pipe"
// convert .ppm file to .jpg via a pipe
PipeConv.convert(fileName, fileName2)
// load and display .jpg file
var image = ImageData.loadFromFile(fileName2)
image.draw(0, 0)
}
init() {}
update() {}
draw(alpha) {}
}
var Game = ConvertPPM.new("output.ppm", "output_piped.jpg", 350, 350)
zkl
Uses the PPM class from http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bitmap/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm#zkl
Using the convert utility by ImageMagick:
img:=PPM.readPPMFile("fractal.ppm");
p:=System.popen(0'|convert ppm:- jpg:"fractal.jpg"|,"w");
img.write(p); p.close();
