# Tiny OpenEXR image library.

![Example](https://github.com/syoyo/tinyexr/blob/release/asakusa.png?raw=true)

[![AppVeyor build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/k07ftfe4ph057qau/branch/release?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/syoyo/tinyexr/branch/release)

[![Coverity Scan Build Status](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/5827/badge.svg)](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/5827)

`tinyexr` is a small, single header-only library to load and save OpenEXR (.exr) images.
`tinyexr` is written in portable C++ (no library dependency except for STL), thus `tinyexr` is good to embed into your application.
To use `tinyexr`, simply copy `tinyexr.h`, `miniz.c` and `miniz.h`(for zlib. You can use system-installed zlib instead of miniz, or the zlib implementation included in `stb_image[_write].h`. Controlled with `TINYEXR_USE_MINIZ` and `TINYEXR_USE_STB_ZLIB` compile flags) into your project.

# Security

TinyEXR does not use C++ exception.

TinyEXR now does not use `assert` from v1.0.4(2023/06/04), except for miniz's assert.
(We plan to use wuff's zlib for better security and performance)

TinyEXR is fuzz tested and **currently no security issues**(No seg fault for any malcious/corrupted input EXR data) as of v1.0.7.

## Usage

NOTE: **API is still subject to change**. See the source code for details.

Include `tinyexr.h` with `TINYEXR_IMPLEMENTATION` flag (do this only for **one** .cc file).

```cpp
//Please include your own zlib-compatible API header before
//including `tinyexr.h` when you disable `TINYEXR_USE_MINIZ`
//#define TINYEXR_USE_MINIZ 0
//#include "zlib.h"
//Or, if your project uses `stb_image[_write].h`, use their
//zlib implementation:
//#define TINYEXR_USE_STB_ZLIB 1
#define TINYEXR_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "tinyexr.h"
```

### Compile flags

* `TINYEXR_USE_MINIZ` Use miniz (default = 1). Please include `zlib.h` header before `tinyexr.h` if you disable miniz support(e.g. use system's zlib).
* `TINYEXR_USE_STB_ZLIB` Use zlib from `stb_image[_write].h` instead of miniz or the system's zlib (default = 0).
* `TINYEXR_USE_PIZ` Enable PIZ compression support (default = 1)
* `TINYEXR_USE_ZFP` Enable ZFP compression support (TinyEXR extension, default = 0)
* `TINYEXR_USE_THREAD` Enable threaded loading/storing using C++11 thread (Requires C++11 compiler, default = 0)
  * Use `TINYEXR_MAX_THREADS` over 0 to use MIN(TINYEXR_MAX_THREADS,hardware_concurrency()) in stead off hardware_concurrency(). (default = 0)
* `TINYEXR_USE_OPENMP` Enable OpenMP threading support (default = 1 if `_OPENMP` is defined)
  * Use `TINYEXR_USE_OPENMP=0` to force disable OpenMP code path even if OpenMP is available/enabled in the compiler.
* `TINYEXR_USE_COMPILER_FP16` Enable use of compiler provided FP16<>FP32 conversions when available (default = 0)

### Quickly reading RGB(A) EXR file.

```cpp
  const char* input = "asakusa.exr";
  float* out; // width * height * RGBA
  int width;
  int height;
  const char* err = NULL; // or nullptr in C++11

  int ret = LoadEXR(&out, &width, &height, input, &err);

  if (ret != TINYEXR_SUCCESS) {
    if (err) {
       fprintf(stderr, "ERR : %s\n", err);
       FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // release memory of error message.
    }
  } else {
    ...
    free(out); // release memory of image data
  }

```

### Reading layered RGB(A) EXR file.

If you want to read EXR image with layer info (channel has a name with delimiter `.`), please use `LoadEXRWithLayer` API.

You need to know layer name in advance (e.g. through `EXRLayers` API).

```cpp
  const char* input = ...;
  const char* layer_name = "diffuse"; // or use EXRLayers to get list of layer names in .exr
  float* out; // width * height * RGBA
  int width;
  int height;
  const char* err = NULL; // or nullptr in C++11

  // will read `diffuse.R`, `diffuse.G`, `diffuse.B`, (`diffuse.A`) channels
  int ret = LoadEXRWithLayer(&out, &width, &height, input, layer_name, &err);

  if (ret != TINYEXR_SUCCESS) {
    if (err) {
       fprintf(stderr, "ERR : %s\n", err);
       FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // release memory of error message.
    }
  } else {
    ...
    free(out); // release memory of image data
  }

```

### Loading Singlepart EXR from a file.

Scanline and tiled format are supported.

```cpp
  // 1. Read EXR version.
  EXRVersion exr_version;

  int ret = ParseEXRVersionFromFile(&exr_version, argv[1]);
  if (ret != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Invalid EXR file: %s\n", argv[1]);
    return -1;
  }

  if (exr_version.multipart) {
    // must be multipart flag is false.
    return -1;
  }

  // 2. Read EXR header
  EXRHeader exr_header;
  InitEXRHeader(&exr_header);

  const char* err = NULL; // or `nullptr` in C++11 or later.
  ret = ParseEXRHeaderFromFile(&exr_header, &exr_version, argv[1], &err);
  if (ret != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Parse EXR err: %s\n", err);
    FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // free's buffer for an error message
    return ret;
  }

  // // Read HALF channel as FLOAT.
  // for (int i = 0; i < exr_header.num_channels; i++) {
  //   if (exr_header.pixel_types[i] == TINYEXR_PIXELTYPE_HALF) {
  //     exr_header.requested_pixel_types[i] = TINYEXR_PIXELTYPE_FLOAT;
  //   }
  // }

  EXRImage exr_image;
  InitEXRImage(&exr_image);

  ret = LoadEXRImageFromFile(&exr_image, &exr_header, argv[1], &err);
  if (ret != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Load EXR err: %s\n", err);
    FreeEXRHeader(&exr_header);
    FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // free's buffer for an error message
    return ret;
  }

  // 3. Access image data
  // `exr_image.images` will be filled when EXR is scanline format.
  // `exr_image.tiled` will be filled when EXR is tiled format.

  // 4. Free image data
  FreeEXRImage(&exr_image);
  FreeEXRHeader(&exr_header);
```

### Loading Multipart EXR from a file.

Scanline and tiled format are supported.

```cpp
  // 1. Read EXR version.
  EXRVersion exr_version;

  int ret = ParseEXRVersionFromFile(&exr_version, argv[1]);
  if (ret != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Invalid EXR file: %s\n", argv[1]);
    return -1;
  }

  if (!exr_version.multipart) {
    // must be multipart flag is true.
    return -1;
  }

  // 2. Read EXR headers in the EXR.
  EXRHeader **exr_headers; // list of EXRHeader pointers.
  int num_exr_headers;
  const char *err = NULL; // or nullptr in C++11 or later

  // Memory for EXRHeader is allocated inside of ParseEXRMultipartHeaderFromFile,
  ret = ParseEXRMultipartHeaderFromFile(&exr_headers, &num_exr_headers, &exr_version, argv[1], &err);
  if (ret != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Parse EXR err: %s\n", err);
    FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // free's buffer for an error message
    return ret;
  }

  printf("num parts = %d\n", num_exr_headers);


  // 3. Load images.

  // Prepare array of EXRImage.
  std::vector<EXRImage> images(num_exr_headers);
  for (int i =0; i < num_exr_headers; i++) {
    InitEXRImage(&images[i]);
  }

  ret = LoadEXRMultipartImageFromFile(&images.at(0), const_cast<const EXRHeader**>(exr_headers), num_exr_headers, argv[1], &err);
  if (ret != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Parse EXR err: %s\n", err);
    FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // free's buffer for an error message
    return ret;
  }

  printf("Loaded %d part images\n", num_exr_headers);

  // 4. Access image data
  // `exr_image.images` will be filled when EXR is scanline format.
  // `exr_image.tiled` will be filled when EXR is tiled format.

  // 5. Free images
  for (int i =0; i < num_exr_headers; i++) {
    FreeEXRImage(&images.at(i));
  }

  // 6. Free headers.
  for (int i =0; i < num_exr_headers; i++) {
    FreeEXRHeader(exr_headers[i]);
    free(exr_headers[i]);
  }
  free(exr_headers);
```


Saving Scanline EXR file.

```cpp
  // See `examples/rgbe2exr/` for more details.
  bool SaveEXR(const float* rgb, int width, int height, const char* outfilename) {

    EXRHeader header;
    InitEXRHeader(&header);

    EXRImage image;
    InitEXRImage(&image);

    image.num_channels = 3;

    std::vector<float> images[3];
    images[0].resize(width * height);
    images[1].resize(width * height);
    images[2].resize(width * height);

    // Split RGBRGBRGB... into R, G and B layer
    for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++) {
      images[0][i] = rgb[3*i+0];
      images[1][i] = rgb[3*i+1];
      images[2][i] = rgb[3*i+2];
    }

    float* image_ptr[3];
    image_ptr[0] = &(images[2].at(0)); // B
    image_ptr[1] = &(images[1].at(0)); // G
    image_ptr[2] = &(images[0].at(0)); // R

    image.images = (unsigned char**)image_ptr;
    image.width = width;
    image.height = height;

    header.num_channels = 3;
    header.channels = (EXRChannelInfo *)malloc(sizeof(EXRChannelInfo) * header.num_channels);
    // Must be (A)BGR order, since most of EXR viewers expect this channel order.
    strncpy(header.channels[0].name, "B", 255); header.channels[0].name[strlen("B")] = '\0';
    strncpy(header.channels[1].name, "G", 255); header.channels[1].name[strlen("G")] = '\0';
    strncpy(header.channels[2].name, "R", 255); header.channels[2].name[strlen("R")] = '\0';

    header.pixel_types = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * header.num_channels);
    header.requested_pixel_types = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * header.num_channels);
    for (int i = 0; i < header.num_channels; i++) {
      header.pixel_types[i] = TINYEXR_PIXELTYPE_FLOAT; // pixel type of input image
      header.requested_pixel_types[i] = TINYEXR_PIXELTYPE_HALF; // pixel type of output image to be stored in .EXR
    }

    const char* err = NULL; // or nullptr in C++11 or later.
    int ret = SaveEXRImageToFile(&image, &header, outfilename, &err);
    if (ret != TINYEXR_SUCCESS) {
      fprintf(stderr, "Save EXR err: %s\n", err);
      FreeEXRErrorMessage(err); // free's buffer for an error message
      return ret;
    }
    printf("Saved exr file. [ %s ] \n", outfilename);

    free(rgb);

    free(header.channels);
    free(header.pixel_types);
    free(header.requested_pixel_types);

  }
```


Reading deep image EXR file.
See `example/deepview` for actual usage.

```cpp
  const char* input = "deepscanline.exr";
  const char* err = NULL; // or nullptr
  DeepImage deepImage;

  int ret = LoadDeepEXR(&deepImage, input, &err);

  // access to each sample in the deep pixel.
  for (int y = 0; y < deepImage.height; y++) {
    int sampleNum = deepImage.offset_table[y][deepImage.width-1];
    for (int x = 0; x < deepImage.width-1; x++) {
      int s_start = deepImage.offset_table[y][x];
      int s_end   = deepImage.offset_table[y][x+1];
      if (s_start >= sampleNum) {
        continue;
      }
      s_end = (s_end < sampleNum) ? s_end : sampleNum;
      for (int s = s_start; s < s_end; s++) {
        float val = deepImage.image[depthChan][y][s];
        ...
      }
    }
  }

```

### deepview

`examples/deepview` is simple deep image viewer in OpenGL. It can be tested with `deepscanline.exr`.

![DeepViewExample](https://github.com/syoyo/tinyexr/blob/release/examples/deepview/deepview_screencast.gif?raw=true)

## TinyEXR extension

### ZFP

#### NOTE

TinyEXR adds ZFP compression as an experimemtal support (Linux and MacOSX only).

ZFP only supports FLOAT format pixel, and its image width and height must be the multiple of 4, since ZFP compresses pixels with 4x4 pixel block.

#### Setup

Checkout zfp repo as an submodule.

    $ git submodule update --init

#### Build

Then build ZFP

    $ cd deps/ZFP
    $ mkdir -p lib   # Create `lib` directory if not exist
    $ make

Set `1` to `TINYEXT_USE_ZFP` define in `tinyexr.h`

Build your app with linking `deps/ZFP/lib/libzfp.a`

#### ZFP attribute

For ZFP EXR image, the following attribute must exist in its EXR image.

* `zfpCompressionType` (uchar).
  * 0 = fixed rate compression
  * 1 = precision based variable rate compression
  * 2 = accuracy based variable rate compression

And the one of following attributes must exist in EXR, depending on the `zfpCompressionType` value.

* `zfpCompressionRate` (double)
  * Specifies compression rate for fixed rate compression.
* `zfpCompressionPrecision` (int32)
  * Specifies the number of bits for precision based variable rate compression.
* `zfpCompressionTolerance` (double)
  * Specifies the tolerance value for accuracy based variable rate compression.

#### Note on ZFP compression.

At least ZFP code itself works well on big endian machine.

### Spectral EXR

TinyEXR supports reading and writing spectral EXR files based on the JCGT 2021 paper:
https://jcgt.org/published/0010/03/01/

Reference implementation: https://github.com/afichet/spectral-exr

#### Spectrum Types

| Type | Channel Format | Description |
|------|----------------|-------------|
| Emissive | `S{stokes}.{wavelength}nm` | Radiance/irradiance spectra (e.g., `S0.550,000000nm`) |
| Reflective | `T.{wavelength}nm` | Transmittance/reflectance spectra (e.g., `T.550,000000nm`) |
| Polarised | `S0-S3.{wavelength}nm` | Stokes vector spectra |

Wavelengths use European decimal convention (comma as separator).

#### Spectral API Functions

```cpp
// Detection
int IsSpectralEXR(const char* filename);
int EXRGetSpectrumType(const EXRHeader* header);  // Returns TINYEXR_SPECTRUM_*

// Channel naming
void EXRSpectralChannelName(char* buffer, size_t size, float wavelength_nm, int stokes);
void EXRReflectiveChannelName(char* buffer, size_t size, float wavelength_nm);
float EXRParseSpectralChannelWavelength(const char* channel_name);
int EXRGetStokesComponent(const char* channel_name);

// Metadata
int EXRSetSpectralAttributes(EXRHeader* header, int spectrum_type, const char* units);
const char* EXRGetSpectralUnits(const EXRHeader* header);
int EXRGetWavelengths(const EXRHeader* header, float* wavelengths, int max);
```

See `examples/spectral/` for a complete read/write example.

## V3 API (Beta)

TinyEXR V3 is a modern, production-quality C API with C++17 wrapper. It provides:

- **Pure C11/C17 core**: No C++ dependencies in the C API
- **C++17 wrapper**: RAII, `Result<T>`, range-based iteration
- **Vulkan-style API**: Command buffers, fences, explicit synchronization
- **Async/WASM-friendly**: Asyncify support, streaming I/O callbacks
- **Exception-free**: Compatible with `-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti`

### V3 Feature Comparison

| Feature | V1 API | V3 API |
|---------|--------|--------|
| Error handling | Error codes + strings | `Result<T>` with error stack |
| I/O model | Synchronous | Async with callbacks |
| Threading | OpenMP | Command buffers, fences |
| API style | Direct pointers | Opaque handles |
| Memory | Manual | RAII (C++), explicit (C) |
| Compression (read) | All except DWAA/DWAB | All except DWAA/DWAB |
| Compression (write) | ZIP only | NONE, RLE, ZIP, ZIPS, PIZ, PXR24, B44 |
| Deep images | Load only | Detection only (TODO) |

### V3 Quick Example (C++)

```cpp
#include "tinyexr_v3.hh"

using namespace tinyexr::v3;

auto ctx = Context::create().value;
auto decoder = Decoder::from_file(ctx, "input.exr").value;
auto image = decoder.parse_header().value;

auto part = image.get_part(0).value;
std::cout << "Size: " << part.width() << "x" << part.height() << "\n";

// Range-based tile iteration
for (auto tile : part.tiles(0)) {
    // Load tile at (tile.tile_x, tile.tile_y)
}
```

**See**: [TINYEXR_V3_README.md](TINYEXR_V3_README.md) for complete documentation.

**Status**: Beta - suitable for evaluation and testing. V1 API remains stable for production use.

## V2 API (Experimental)

TinyEXR includes an experimental V2 API in separate header files that provides:

- **Modern C++ interface**: `Result<T>` return types, `std::vector`-based data
- **Enhanced error reporting**: Error stack with context, positions, and human-readable messages
- **Header-only**: `tinyexr_v2.hh` + `tinyexr_v2_impl.hh`
- **Safe memory access**: `StreamReader`/`StreamWriter` with bounds checking
- **All compression formats**: Including PIZ, B44/B44A, PXR24 encoding

### V2 Features

| Feature | V1 API | V2 API |
|---------|--------|--------|
| Error handling | Error codes + strings | `Result<T>` with error stack |
| Memory safety | Manual bounds checking | Automatic bounds checking |
| Deep images | Load only | Load + Save (scanline & tiled) |
| Spectral EXR | Full support | Full support |
| Tiled writing | Basic | Full (mipmap/ripmap) |
| Custom attributes | Basic | Full read/write API |

### V2 Quick Example

```cpp
#include "tinyexr_v2.hh"
#include "tinyexr_v2_impl.hh"

using namespace tinyexr::v2;

// Load
auto result = LoadFromFile("input.exr");
if (!result.success) {
    printf("Error: %s\n", result.error_string().c_str());
    return 1;
}
ImageData& image = result.value;

// Save
auto save_result = SaveToFile("output.exr", image);
```

**Note**: V2 API is experimental and subject to change. V1 API remains stable and recommended for production use.
