Also had coredump and back traced the problem in jmarker.c. I am able to successfully decompress from memory with my own manager……….however compressing and writing to the memory is giving errors and seg faults! tried using Valgrind and ddd debugger. The buffer vector will hold raw RGB values for screen shot. In the end, the info and screen_shot object will have some meta-data about the image that we willīe making into a JPEG.

#HOW TO COMPRESS PICTURES IN WRITER CODE#
Note that Xlib this has next to nothing to do with the JPEG code and is only included to create a context. įrist, do some setup and take a screen shot using Xlib. The primary reference for this tutorial is the libjpeg doc page at. This article is based on libjpeg by IJG which appears to be the most complete and open jpeg library out there. I asume the reader already has some image data in memory that is intended to be compressed into a jpeg file.
#HOW TO COMPRESS PICTURES IN WRITER HOW TO#
This little tutorial is for all of those who have searched for how to write jpeg files from C/C++ and have been sadly disapointed by the results. Update: If you want to see another example or would like to know how to write JPEG data straight to a buffer, see this new post.
