Since some # image information needs to be present in the PDF object itself (like height and width) the # loader needs to parse the image to get the needed data. # # # == Implementation of an Image Loader # # Each image loader is a (stateless) object (normally a module) that responds to two methods: # # handles?(file_or_io):: # Should return +true+ if the given file or IO stream can be handled by the loader, i.e. if # the content contains a suitable image. # # load(document, file_or_io):: # Should add a new image XObject to the document that uses the file or IO stream as source # and return this newly created object. This method is only invoked if #handles? has # returned +true+ for the same +file_or_io+ object. # # The image XObject may use any implemented filter. For example, an image loader for JPEG files # would typically use the DCTDecode filter instead of decoding the image itself. # # See: PDF1.7 s8.9 module ImageLoader autoload(:JPEG, 'hexapdf/image_loader/jpeg') autoload(:PNG, 'hexapdf/image_loader/png') autoload(:PDF, 'hexapdf/image_loader/pdf') end end
