Easily create image files with Deno

This is a simple library for Deno to create PNG (and other image types in the feature) files.

Usage

//import the module
import { PNGImage } from 'https://deno.land/x/dpng/mod.ts'

//create a PNG file
const png = new PNGImage(512, 512)

//generating a color to use in setPixel
const red = png.createRGBColor({ r: 255, g: 0, b: 0, a: 1 })

//setting one pixel
png.setPixel(10, 10, red)

//get the base64 encoded image
const base64String = png.getBase64()

//let's save the image
Deno.writeFileSync('./test/img/test.png', png.getBuffer())

API

We have plenty of tools to modify the desired image. Here's a list of all of them.

Getting information about the image

getBuffer (): Uint8Array

Get the buffer (Uint8Array) of the image file
This can be used to save the image later, using Deno.writeFileSync

getBase64 (): string

Get the base64 encoded string of the created image

getDataURL (): string

Get the base64 encoded string of the created image with a data url, so you can utilize it inside an img tag in html, using the src attribute

createRGBColor (color: RGB): number

Create a valid RGB (rgba) color that you can use with setPixel

getPixel (x: number, y: number): number

Get the color of a pixel

index (x: number, y: number): number

Getting the index of a pixel

Rendering

setPixel (x: number, y: number, color: number): void

Modifying a pixel

drawLine (x: number, y: number, width: number, height: number, color: number): void

Draw a line inside the image

drawRect (x1: number, y1: number, x2: number, y2: number, color: number): void

Draw a rectangle inside the image

drawBorderedRect (x1: number, y1: number, x2: number, y2: number, borderSize: number, insideColor: number, outsideColor: number): void

Draw a rectangle with a border/outline

drawFilledCircle (x_center: number, y_center: number, r: number, color: number): void

Draw a circle inside the image

Saving your image

We do not provide a write() or save() function, as we find it unnecessary. Deno has an easy to use way to write files and we don't want to overcomplicate this module. To save an image, use the built in Deno.writeFileSync() function:

Deno.writeFileSync('./assets/img/denos_land.png', png.getBuffer())

Attention

Make sure to add flag --allow-write, when running your code.

Feature plans, goals

• Fix bordered circle
• A createColor function that converts css-style colors to <RGB> type colors
• getPixel or an alternative new function to return css-style colors (maybe with a param)
• Add loading buffers / Uint8Arrays

Credits

The base of this library is largely ported from pnglib-es6. Thank you very much for providing a simple, yet amazing library
