babl is a dynamic, any to any, pixel format translation library.
It allows converting between different methods of storing pixels known
as pixel formats that have with different bitdepths and other data
representations, color models and component permutations.
A vocabulary to formulate new pixel formats from existing primitives is
provided as well as the framework to add new color models and data
types.
Features
• Fast.
• Accurate.
• Stable, small API.
• Self profiling and optimizing.
• ANSI C, works on win32, linux and mac, 32bit and 64bit systems.
• Extendable with new formats, color models, components and
datatypes.
• Reference 64bit floating point conversions for datatypes and color
models.
GEGL through GeglBuffer provides tiled buffers with on disk storage as
well as linear buffers with accessor functions for efficient data
access transparently using babl fishes for translation to the desired
pixel formats.
Download
The latest versioned development version of babl can be found in ftp://
ftp.gtk.org/pub/babl/.
Babl uses git. The main repository is hosted by GNOME. It can be
browsed online and cloned with:
git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
The following is a list of the major changes that have gone into each
babl release. If there are significant improvements to babl when a GEGL
release is done a babl release is most often put out just prior to the
GEGL release.
2012-03-30 babl-0.1.8
LUT based speedups for gamma correction / uncorrection.
2012-03-30 babl-0.1.8
Added support for indexed/pallette based formats, constified API.
2011-11-18 babl-0.1.6
Build improvements, remove blatantly wrong conversions from
extensions, made it possible to distinguish format_n formats from
others, improvements to vala/gobject introspection support.
2011-01-20 babl-0.1.4
Improved cross platform build ability, added code to handle
n-component formats, remove extraenous runtime profiling that
impacted performance.
2010-01-15 babl-0.1.2
Made babl mostly threadsafe (sufficient for GIMP/GEGLs needs).
Streamlined core functionality, reducing number of function calls
and removing overeager instrumentation.
2009-05-20 babl-0.1.0
Support for RGBA representation in the frequency domain,
un-pre-multiply close-to-zero alpha values to complete black
instead of slightly brighter than black, add a BABL_ALPHA_THRESHOLD
constant to the API, do a complete overhaul of the babl API and do
some changes to increase portability of the library.
2008-06-12 babl-0.0.22
Speed improvements due to: coalesced hashing, early bail out upon
creation of duplicate formats, caching of non existing paths. Large
amounts of the core has also been reviewed and refactored. Improved
conversion coverage in the matrix.
2008-02-27 babl-0.0.20
Builds on OSX Check <0.0 and >1.0 values conversions for accuracy
as well.
For more news see git log.
Documentation
When using BablFishes to do your conversions, you request a fish to
convert between two formats, and an optimal fish to babls capability is
provided that you can use to do your conversions. Babl also provides
the capability to describe new formats based on a vocabulary of user
registered color models and data types.
Babl provides a base vocabulary in BablBase and some extensions that
are thought to be generally useful.
When performing further extensions to the vocabulary of babl, the
internal consistency is governed by reference conversions that operate
on double (64 bit floating point values). The only color model created
during BablCore bootstrap is RGBA (linear light RGB, 0.0 - 1.0, with a
linear 0.0 - 1.0 opacity channel) backed by the double datatype.
Defined similarily to scRGB using 64bit floating point.
If babls conversion isn't fast enough, you can provide your own
conversion shortcut between two formats. The registered shortcut might
also be used by babl as an intermediate conversion when constructing
BablFishes for other conversions.
Babl extensions are shared objects. If you have already developed some
fast conversion functions, wrapping them as babl extensions should not
take much time and will speed up babl for other users as well.
Usage
babl_process (babl_fish (source_format, destination_format),
source_buffer, destination_buffer,
pixel_count);
The processing operation that babl performs is copying including
conversions if needed between linear buffers containing the same count
of pixels, with different pixel formats.
int width = 123, height = 581, pixel_count = width * height;
const Babl *srgb = babl_format ("R'G'B' u8");
const Babl *lab = babl_format ("CIE Lab float");
Babl *rgb_to_lab_fish = babl_fish (srgb, lab);
float *lab_buffer;
unsigned char *srgb_buffer;
babl_init ();
srgb_buffer = malloc (pixel_count * babl_format_get_bytes_per_pixel (srgb));
lab_buffer = malloc (pixel_count * 3 * sizeof (float));
...... load data into srgb_buffer .......
babl_process (rgb_to_lab_fish, srgb_buffer, lab_buffer, pixel_count);
...... do operation in lab space ........
babl_process (babl_fish(lab, srgb),
lab_buffer, srgb_buffer, pixel_count);
/* the data has now been transformed back to srgb data */
If the existing pixel formats are not sufficient for your conversion
needs, new ones can be created on the fly. The constructor will provide
the prior created one if duplicates are registered.
const Babl *format = babl_format_new (babl_model ("R'G'B'"),
babl_type ("u16"),
babl_component ("B'"),
babl_component ("G'"),
babl_component ("R'"),
NULL);

Environment
If the environment variable BABL_STATS is set containting a html pixel
format conversion usage matrix will be written to /tmp/babl-stats.html.
This allows figuring out which conversions is taking up time during
processing, and what shortcuts extensions might be created or improved
to make babl do it's job faster.
Through the environment variable BABL_TOLERANCE you can control a speed
/performance trade off that by default is set very low (0.000001)
values in the range 0.01-0.1 can provide reasonable preview performance
by allowing lower numerical accuracy
.
Extending
For samples of how the current internal API specification of data
types, color models, and conversions look in the extensions/ directory.
The tables in this HTML file is directly generated based on the data
registered by BablCore (double and RGBA), BablBase (core datatypes, and
RGB models), extensions (CIE Lab, naive CMYK, various shortcut
conversions).

TODO
• Support for conversions between formats that have higher
dimensionality than RGBA. (arbitrary meaningless components)
• Support for datatypes that are not a multiple of 8bit.
• dithering
• dynamic data attached to format, or internal handling of icc
through a registered set of profiles
• Stocastic runtime profiling with running average of the peformance
for conversions, to avoid problems incurred if other cpu intense is
happening when babl tests a conversions.
