Title: PNG library suited for tiny intros on masm?
Post by: ViL on July 02, 2018

Hii!

i've stumbled on PNGlib like it's the only png decoder for masm, it is the only one out there? this is the site of PNGlib
http://www.madwizard.org/programming/projects/pnglib

while it's considerably small, uPNG on C output is even smaller, counting kb; but some pairs of kb makes the difference on tiny intros :)

may i ask if anyone knows another png decoder for masm? :D

any idea is very welcome! x3

Hi Vil,

No need for bloated 3th party image libraries.
You can use GDIplus for that with a few lines of code.
It can load bmp, gif, jpeg, png, tiff and ico files from disk ( or from memory or from resource section ) and decompress it to memory as uncompressed raw ARGB data.

Here is an example to load a bitmap image from disk in Masm. ( and it's very very small.  ;D)

Code: [Select]

include     \masm32\include\gdiplus.inc
includelib  \masm32\lib\gdiplus.lib

.const

; GDI+ info
ImageLockModeRead               equ 1
PixelFormat32bppARGB            equ 26200Ah

GdiplusStartupInput struct
    GdiplusVersion              dd ?
    DebugEventCallback          dd ?
    SuppressBackgroundThread    dd ?
    SuppressExternalCodecs      dd ?
GdiplusStartupInput ends

BitmapData struct                         
    dwWidth                     dd ?   
    dwHeight                    dd ?   
    Stride                      dd ?   
    PixelFormat                 dd ?   
    Scan0                       dd ?   
    Reserved                    dd ?
BitmapData ends

GdiplusInput   GdiplusStartupInput <1,NULL,FALSE,FALSE>

.data?
; GDI+ data
align 4
pImage              dd ?
ReturnMessage       dd ?
GdiplusToken        dd ?
GDIplusBitmapData   BitmapData <?>
FilenameW           dw MAX_PATH dup (?)
ARGB_raw_buffer     dd 640 * 480 dup (?) ; memory to hold a raw 32bit bitmap of 640*480

.data

NicePicture         db "NicePicture.png",0

.code

align 4
GDIp_LoadBitmap proc uses ebx esi edi ImageName:DWORD,pBitmap:DWORD

    mov      ReturnMessage,FALSE

    mov      esi,GDIplusBitmapData.Scan0     ; pointer to the bitmap data

    add         edi,4
    add      ebx,4
    dec      edx
    jnz      Width_lp
    add      esi,GDIplusBitmapData.Stride   
    dec      ecx
    jnz      Height_lp   

    mov      ReturnMessage,TRUE

    invoke  GdipBitmapUnlockBits,pImage,offset GDIplusBitmapData

Close_Image:
    invoke  GdipDisposeImage,pImage
ShutdownGDIplus:
    invoke  GdiplusShutdown,GdiplusToken
Exit_LoadBitmap:
    mov      eax,ReturnMessage
    ret
GDIp_LoadBitmap endp

; load bmp, gif, jpeg, png, tiff and ico files from disk and decompress to memory as uncompressed raw ARGB data.
