# QOI
QOI is fast. It losslessy compresses images to a similar size of PNG,
while offering 20x-50x faster encoding and 3x-4x faster decoding.
QOI is simple. The reference en-/decoder fits in about 300 lines of C.
The file format specification is a single page PDF.
<https://qoiformat.org/>
This **R**-package is a wrapper to handle QOI files with **R**. The
package is completely written in base R with no dependencies and pure
C-code.

```{r setup, include=FALSE, echo = FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(collapse = TRUE,
comment = "##",
fig.retina = 2,
fig.align = "center",
fig.path = "README_figs/README-")
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "C")
```
## Installation
The package is on CRAN. The easiest way to download is via:
```{r, eval = FALSE}
install.packages("qoi")
```
You can install the development version from GitHub with the following
command:
```{r, eval = FALSE}
if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("JohannesFriedrich/qoi4R")
```
## Usage
There are just two main functions: `readQOI()` and `writeQOI()`.
- `readQOI()`: Takes an qoi-format image and decodes it into its RGB
or RGBA values. The result is a matrix with dimensions height x
width x channels.
- `writeQOI()`: Takes an RGB(A) matrix and encodes it into an
qoi-image.
### `readQOI()`
Let´s read in an QOI-image delivered with this package:
```{r}
library(qoi)
path <- system.file("extdata", "Rlogo.qoi", package="qoi")
Rlogo_pixels <- readQOI(path)
```
The dimension of `Rlogo_pixels` is `r dim(Rlogo_pixels)`. So the height
of the image is `r dim(Rlogo_pixels)[1]` px, the width
`r dim(Rlogo_pixels)[2]` px and it has `r dim(Rlogo_pixels)[3]`
channels, so it´s RGBA. With `3` channels it would be RGB encoded.
With `readQOI()` is it possible to show the image with **R**.
```{r}
plot.new()
rasterImage(Rlogo_pixels/255, xleft = 0, xright = 1,
ytop = 0, ybottom = 1, interpolate = FALSE)
```
The pixels returned from `readQOI()` are integer values between 0 - 255.
To show them with `rasteImage()` it is necessary to divide them by 255
to get values between 0-1.
Let´s compare the result to the wonderful
[PNG-package](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/png). The results
from `readPNG()` are numerical values between 0 and 1. To compare the
results multiply with 255 and change the mode to integer.
```{r}
qoi_logo_rgb_png <- png::readPNG(system.file("extdata", "qoi_logo.png", package="qoi"))*255L
qoi_logo_rgb_qoi <- qoi::readQOI(system.file("extdata", "qoi_logo.qoi", package="qoi"))
mode(qoi_logo_rgb_png) <- "integer"
identical(qoi_logo_rgb_png, qoi_logo_rgb_qoi)
```
### `writeQOI()`
With this function it is possible to save an RGB(A) matrix to an
QOI-image. The input arguments are:
- image: a matrix with dimensions height x width x channels
- target: Either name of the file to write, a binary connection or a
raw vector indicating that the output should be a raw vector (so the
hex-interpretation of the image).
If no second argument is given, the returned value is the
hex-interpretation of the image in the QOI-file format.
```{r}
qoi_logo <- writeQOI(qoi_logo_rgb_qoi)
rawToChar(head(qoi_logo))
```
If an second argument is given as character the image is saved to this
name:
```{r, eval = FALSE}
writeQOI(qoi_logo_rgb_qoi, "qoi_logo_rgb.qoi")
```
If the second argument is of type `connection` the hex interpretation of
the QOI-image will be send to this connection.
```{r, eval = FALSE}
file <- file("file.qoi", "wb")
writeQOI(qoi_logo_rgb_qoi, file)
close(file)
```
