## [Documentation](https://docs.rs/tinybmp)

A small BMP parser primarily for embedded, no-std environments but usable anywhere.

This crate is primarily targeted at drawing BMP images to [`embedded_graphics`] [`DrawTarget`]s,
but can also be used to parse BMP files for other applications.

## Examples

### Draw a BMP image to an embedded-graphics draw target

The [`Bmp`] struct is used together with [`embedded_graphics`]' [`Image`] struct to display BMP
files on any draw target.

```rust
use embedded_graphics::{image::Image, prelude::*};
use tinybmp::Bmp;

// Include the BMP file data.
let bmp_data = include_bytes!("../tests/chessboard-8px-color-16bit.bmp");

// Parse the BMP file.
let bmp = Bmp::from_slice(bmp_data).unwrap();

// Draw the image with the top left corner at (10, 20) by wrapping it in
// an embedded-graphics `Image`.
Image::new(&bmp, Point::new(10, 20)).draw(&mut display)?;
```

### Using the pixel iterator

To access the image data for other applications the [`Bmp::pixels`] method returns an iterator
over all pixels in the BMP file. The colors inside the BMP file will automatically converted to
one of the [color types] in [`embedded_graphics`].

```rust
use embedded_graphics::{pixelcolor::Rgb888, prelude::*};
use tinybmp::Bmp;

// Include the BMP file data.
let bmp_data = include_bytes!("../tests/chessboard-8px-24bit.bmp");

// Parse the BMP file.
// Note that it is necessary to explicitly specify the color type which the colors in the BMP
// file will be converted into.
let bmp = Bmp::<Rgb888>::from_slice(bmp_data).unwrap();

for Pixel(position, color) in bmp.pixels() {
    println!("R: {}, G: {}, B: {} @ ({})", color.r(), color.g(), color.b(), position);
}
```

### Accessing individual pixels

[`Bmp::pixel`] can be used to get the color of individual pixels. The returned color will be automatically
converted to one of the [color types] in [`embedded_graphics`].

```rust
use embedded_graphics::{pixelcolor::Rgb888, image::GetPixel, prelude::*};
use tinybmp::Bmp;

// Include the BMP file data.
let bmp_data = include_bytes!("../tests/chessboard-8px-24bit.bmp");

let pixel = bmp.pixel(Point::new(3, 2));

assert_eq!(pixel, Some(Rgb888::WHITE));
```

Note that you currently cannot access invidual pixels when working with RLE4
or RLE8 compressed indexed bitmaps. With these formats the `pixel()`
function will always return `None`.

### Accessing the raw image data

For most applications the higher level access provided by [`Bmp`] is sufficient. But in case
lower level access is necessary the [`RawBmp`] struct can be used to access BMP [header
information] and the [color table]. A [`RawBmp`] object can be created directly from image data
by using [`from_slice`] or by accessing the underlying raw object of a [`Bmp`] object with
[`Bmp::as_raw`].

Similar to [`Bmp::pixel`], [`RawBmp::pixel`] can be used to get raw pixel color values as a
`u32`.

```rust
use embedded_graphics::prelude::*;
use tinybmp::{RawBmp, Bpp, Header, RawPixel, RowOrder, CompressionMethod};

let bmp = RawBmp::from_slice(include_bytes!("../tests/chessboard-8px-24bit.bmp"))
    .expect("Failed to parse BMP image");

// Read the BMP header
assert_eq!(
    bmp.header(),
    &Header {
        file_size: 314,
        image_data_start: 122,
        bpp: Bpp::Bits24,
        image_size: Size::new(8, 8),
        image_data_len: 192,
        channel_masks: None,
        row_order: RowOrder::BottomUp,
        compression_method: CompressionMethod::Rgb,
    }
);

// Get an iterator over the pixel coordinates and values in this image and load into a vec
let pixels: Vec<RawPixel> = bmp.pixels().collect();

// Loaded example image is 8x8px
assert_eq!(pixels.len(), 8 * 8);

// Individual raw pixel values can also be read
let pixel = bmp.pixel(Point::new(3, 2));

// The raw value for a white pixel in the source image
assert_eq!(pixel, Some(0xFFFFFFu32));
```

## Minimum supported Rust version
