Description:
============

WebP Mux: library to create the MUX container object for features like
Color profile, XMP metadata, Animation & Tiling. A reference command line
tool 'webpmux' and Mux container specification 'MuxContainerSpec.pdf' are also
provided in this package.


WebP Mux tool:
==============

The examples/ directory contains tool (webpmux) for manipulating the WebP Mux
file. webpmux tool can be used to create a WebP container file and to extract or
strip relevant data from the container file.

A list of options is available using the -help command line flag:

> webpmux -help
Usage: webpmux -get GET_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT
   or: webpmux -set SET_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT
   or: webpmux -strip STRIP_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT
   or: webpmux [-tile TILE_OPTIONS]... -o OUTPUT
   or: webpmux [-frame FRAME_OPTIONS]... -loop LOOP_COUNT -o OUTPUT
   or: webpmux -info INPUT
   or: webpmux -help OR -h

GET_OPTIONS:
   icc       Get ICCP Color profile.
   xmp       Get XMP metadata.
   tile n    Get nth tile.
   frame n   Get nth frame.

SET_OPTIONS:
   icc       Set ICC Color profile.
   xmp       Set XMP metadata.

STRIP_OPTIONS:
   icc       Strip ICCP color profile.
   xmp       Strip XMP metadata.

TILE_OPTIONS(i):
   file_i +xi+yi
   where:    'file_i' is the i'th tile (webp format),
             'xi','yi' specify the image offset for this tile.

FRAME_OPTIONS(i):
   file_i +xi+yi+di
   where:    'file_i' is the i'th animation frame (webp format),
             'xi','yi' specify the image offset for this frame.
             'di' is the pause duration before next frame.

INPUT & OUTPUT are in webp format.



WebP Mux API:
==============
WebP Mux API contains methods for adding data to WebPMux (a MUX container object
for a WebP file) and reading data from WebPMux. This API currently supports
XMP metadata, Color profile, Animation & Tiling. Other features will be added
in subsequent releases.

Example#1 (pseudo code): Creating a MUX with image data, color profile & XMP
metadata.

  int copy_data = 0;
  WebPMux* mux = WebPMuxNew();
  // ... (Prepare image data).
  WebPMuxSetImage(mux, image_data, image_data_size, alpha_data, alpha_size,
                  copy_data);
  // ... (Prepare ICCP color profile data).
  WebPMuxSetColorProfile(mux, icc_data, icc_data_size, copy_data);
  // ... (Prepare XMP metadata).
  WebPMuxSetMetadata(mux, xmp_data, xmp_data_size, copy_data);
  // Get data from mux in WebP RIFF format.
  WebPMuxAssemble(mux, &output_data, &output_data_size);
  WebPMuxDelete(mux);
  // ... (Consume output_data; e.g. write output_data to file).
  free(output_data);


Example#2 (pseudo code): Get image & color profile data from a WebP file.

  int copy_data = 0;
  // ... (Read data from file).
  WebPMux* mux = WebPMuxCreate(data, data_size, copy_data);
  WebPMuxGetImage(mux, &image, &alpha);
  // ... (Consume image; e.g. call WebPDecode() to decode the data).
  WebPMuxGetColorProfile(mux, &icc_chunkdata);
  // ... (Consume icc_chunkdata).
  WebPMuxDelete(mux);
  free(data);
