Introduction
============
PASJPEG is a port of the sixth public release of the IJG C source (release
6b of 27-Mar-98) [3], that implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and
progressive compression processes to Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS (TP). The code
has been tested under Delphi 3.0, it can be ported to other Pascal
environments, since many compilers try to be compatible to TP.
JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized familly of algorithms for
compression of continous tone still images. Most JPEG processes are lossy,
the output image is not exactly identical to the input image. However, on
typical photographic images, very good compression levels can be obtained
with no visible change, and remarkably high compression levels are possible
if you can tolerate a low-quality image [1],[2]. The Independent JPEG Group
(IJG) has created a free, portable C library for JPEG compression and
decompression of JPEG images.
The IJG documentation (system architecture, using the IJG JPEG library,
usage and file list) is a must read. The files DEMO.PAS, TEST.PAS, CJPEG.PAS,
DJPEG.PAS and EXAMPLE.PAS demonstrate the usage of the JPEG decompression
and compression library. The RDJPGCOM application shows how to parse a JFIF
file.
Notes:
======
* Please report any errors/problems you may find in code and in the
documentation (e.g. this README.TXT file).
* The sample applications (CJPEG, DJPEG) doesn't support all the options
of the original C code. WRJPGCOM is not ported.
* Environment variable JPEGMEM syntax changed;
* You can modify the jpeg.pas unit from the Delphi 3 distribution to
use PasJPEG.
Change log
==========
1. bugs fixed:
* in procedure read_gif_map(), unit RDCOLMAP.PAS (used by DJPEG sample
application). Davie Lee Reed <smatters@iquest.net>
* -dct int and -dct fast now bytewise equal to the IJG output.
* -dct float produced large files
2. Support for scripts
3. BASM version of JIDCTINT.PAS for Delphi 2 and 3.
4. images with integral sampling ratios were not decoded correctly.
Create a jpeg file with cjpeg and the option "-sample 4x1" and try to decode
it with any software that uses PasJpeg. Thanks to Jannie Gerber for reporting
this with a fix: In JDSAMPLE.PAS, procedure int_upsample(),
for h := pred(h_expand) downto 0 do
begin
outptr^ := invalue;
+=> inc(outptr); { this is the culprit that was left out!!! }
Dec(outcount);
end;
File list
=========
Here is a road map to the files in the PasJPEG distribution. The
distribution includes the JPEG library proper, plus two application
programs ("cjpeg" and "djpeg") which use the library to convert JPEG
files to and from some other popular image formats. A third application
"jpegtran" uses the library to do lossless conversion between different
variants of JPEG. There is also the stand-alone applications "rdjpgcom".

Translation
===========
TP is unit-centric, exported type definitions and routines are declared
in the "interface" part of the unit, "make" files are not needed.
Macros are not supported, they were either copied as needed or translated
to Pascal routines (procedure). The procedures will be replaced by code in
later releases.
Conditional defines that indicate whether to include various optional
functions are defined in the file JCONFIG.INC. This file is included first
in all source files.
The base type definitions are in the unit JMORECFG.PAS. The error handling
macros have been converted to procedures in JERROR.PAS. The error codes are
in JDEFERR.PAS. jpegint.h and jpeglib.h were merged into one large unit
JPEGLIB.PAS containing type definitions with global scope.
The translation of the header file is the most sophisticated work, a good
understanding of the syntax is required. Once the header files are done,
the translation turns into a lot of editing work. Each C source file was
converted to a unit by editing the syntax (separate variable definition
and usage, define labels, group variable definitions, expanding macros, etc).
The IJG source labels routines GLOBAL, METHODDEF and LOCAL. All globals
routines are in the interface section of the units. The "far" directive is
used for methods (METHODDEF).
Some C -> Pascal examples.
* "{" -> "begin" "->" -> "^." " = " -> " := " "<<" -> " shl "
"}" -> "end;" "!=" -> "<>" " == " -> " = " ">>" -> " shr "
"/*" -> "{" routine -> function "0x" -> "$"
"*/" -> "}" (void) procedure "NULL" -> "NIL"
* structs are records, Unions are variable records, pointers are always far,
the operators && and || (and/or) have not the same priority in both
languages, so parenthesis are important. The Pascal "case" doesn't have the
falltrough option of the C "switch" statement, my work around is to split
one "switch" statement into many case statements.
* The pointer type in C is not readily interchangeable. It is used to address
an array (Pascal pointer to an array) or in pointer arithmetic a pointer to
a single element. I've used the Inc() statement with type casting to
translate pointer arithmetic most of the time.
C example:
typedef JSAMPLE* JSAMPROW; /* ptr to one image row of pixel samples. */
Pascal
type
JSAMPLE_PTR = ^JSAMPLE; { ptr to a single pixel sample. }
jTSample = 0..(MaxInt div SIZEOF(JSAMPLE))-1;
JSAMPLE_ARRAY = Array[jTSample] of JSAMPLE; {far}
JSAMPROW = ^JSAMPLE_ARRAY; { ptr to one image row of pixel samples. }
The following code
JSAMPROW buffer0, buffer1; /* ptr to a JSAMPLE buffer. */
...
buffer1 = buffer0 + i;
can be translated to
var
buffer0, buffer1 : JSAMPROW;
...
buffer1 := buffer0;
Inc(JSAMPLE_PTR(buffer1), i);
or
buffer1 := JSAMPROW(@ buffer0^[i]);
Declaring the variables as JSAMPLE_PTR may reduce type casting in some
places. I use help pointers to handle negative array offsets.
While translating the type of function parameter from C to Pascal, one can
often use "var", "const", or "array of" parameters instead of pointers.
While translating for(;;)-loops with more than one induction variable to
Pascal "for to/downto do"-loops, the extra induction variables have to be
manually updated at the end of the loop and before "continue"-statements.
