Detailed Description

Access and modify an Exif thumbnail image. This class implements manipulators to set and erase the thumbnail image that is optionally embedded in IFD1 of the Exif data. Accessors are provided by the base class, ExifThumbC.

Note

Various other preview and thumbnail images may be contained in an image, depending on its format and the camera make and model. This class only provides access to the Exif thumbnail as specified in the Exif standard.

Member Function Documentation

setJpegThumbnail() [1/2]

void Exiv2::ExifThumb::setJpegThumbnail	(	const byte *	buf,
		size_t	size
	)

Set the Exif thumbnail to the JPEG image pointed to by buf, and size size.

This sets only the Compression, JPEGInterchangeFormat and JPEGInterchangeFormatLength tags, which is not all the thumbnail Exif information mandatory according to the Exif standard. (But it's enough to work with the thumbnail.)

Note

No checks on the image format or size are performed.

Additional existing Exif thumbnail tags are not modified.

setJpegThumbnail() [2/2]

void Exiv2::ExifThumb::setJpegThumbnail	(	const byte *	buf,
		size_t	size,
		URational	xres,
		URational	yres,
		uint16_t	unit
	)

Set the Exif thumbnail to the JPEG image pointed to by buf, and size size. Set XResolution, YResolution and ResolutionUnit to xres, yres and unit, respectively.

This results in the minimal thumbnail tags being set for a JPEG thumbnail, as mandated by the Exif standard.

Exceptions

Error

if reading the file fails.

Note

No checks on the image format or size are performed.

Additional existing Exif thumbnail tags are not modified.

The JPEG image inserted as thumbnail image should not itself contain Exif data (or other metadata), as existing applications may have problems with that. (The preview application that comes with OS X for one.) - David Harvey.
