RLE_PUTROW(3)         DragonFly Library Functions Manual         RLE_PUTROW(3)


NAME

       rle_putrow - Write a row (scanline) of data to an RLE file.


SYNOPSIS

       #include <rle.h>

       void rle_putrow( rows, length, the_hdr );
       rle_pixel ** rows;
       int length;
       rle_hdr * the_hdr;


DESCRIPTION

       Rle_putrow is called for each output scanline when creating an RLE(5)
       image.  Rows is an array of pointers to the pixel data for the color
       components of the scanline.  Rows should have the_hdr->ncolors
       elements.  If an alpha channel is being saved, rows[-1] should point to
       the alpha channel data.  Length is the number of pixels in the
       scanline.  Rows[i] should point to the the_hdr->xmin element of the
       scanline.

       The function rle_row_alloc(3) will properly allocate memory for use by
       rle_putrow.

BUGS

       Having the scanline indexed from xmin is an incredible botch.  Its
       origin lies in the deep dark history of the raster toolkit, and it
       seems it's too late to change it now.
