Image datatype.

Description

Native image datatype. Contains image data which can be converted to an ImageTexture and provides commonly used image processing methods. The maximum width and height for an Image are MAX_WIDTH and MAX_HEIGHT.

An Image cannot be assigned to a texture property of an object directly (such as Sprite), and has to be converted manually to an ImageTexture first.

Note: The maximum image size is 16384×16384 pixels due to graphics hardware limitations. Larger images may fail to import.

Enumerations

enum Format:

• FORMAT_L8 = 0 —- Texture format with a single 8-bit depth representing luminance.

• FORMAT_LA8 = 1 —- OpenGL texture format with two values, luminance and alpha each stored with 8 bits.

• FORMAT_R8 = 2 —- OpenGL texture format RED with a single component and a bitdepth of 8.

Note: When using the GLES2 backend, this uses the alpha channel instead of the red channel for storage.

• FORMAT_RG8 = 3 —- OpenGL texture format RG with two components and a bitdepth of 8 for each.

• FORMAT_RGB8 = 4 —- OpenGL texture format RGB with three components, each with a bitdepth of 8.

Note: When creating an ImageTexture, an sRGB to linear color space conversion is performed.

• FORMAT_RGBA8 = 5 —- OpenGL texture format RGBA with four components, each with a bitdepth of 8.

Note: When creating an ImageTexture, an sRGB to linear color space conversion is performed.

• FORMAT_RGBA4444 = 6 —- OpenGL texture format RGBA with four components, each with a bitdepth of 4.

• FORMAT_ETC2_R11 = 30 —- Ericsson Texture Compression format 2 (R11_EAC variant), which provides one channel of unsigned data.

• FORMAT_ETC2_R11S = 31 —- Ericsson Texture Compression format 2 (SIGNED_R11_EAC variant), which provides one channel of signed data.

• FORMAT_ETC2_RG11 = 32 —- Ericsson Texture Compression format 2 (RG11_EAC variant), which provides two channels of unsigned data.

• FORMAT_ETC2_RG11S = 33 —- Ericsson Texture Compression format 2 (SIGNED_RG11_EAC variant), which provides two channels of signed data.

• FORMAT_ETC2_RGB8 = 34 —- Ericsson Texture Compression format 2 (RGB8 variant), which is a follow-up of ETC1 and compresses RGB888 data.

Note: When creating an ImageTexture, an sRGB to linear color space conversion is performed.

Note: When creating an ImageTexture, an sRGB to linear color space conversion is performed.

• FORMAT_MAX = 37 —- Represents the size of the Format enum.

enum Interpolation:

• INTERPOLATE_NEAREST = 0 —- Performs nearest-neighbor interpolation. If the image is resized, it will be pixelated.

• INTERPOLATE_BILINEAR = 1 —- Performs bilinear interpolation. If the image is resized, it will be blurry. This mode is faster than INTERPOLATE_CUBIC, but it results in lower quality.

• INTERPOLATE_CUBIC = 2 —- Performs cubic interpolation. If the image is resized, it will be blurry. This mode often gives better results compared to INTERPOLATE_BILINEAR, at the cost of being slower.

• INTERPOLATE_TRILINEAR = 3 —- Performs bilinear separately on the two most-suited mipmap levels, then linearly interpolates between them.

It’s slower than INTERPOLATE_BILINEAR, but produces higher-quality results with far fewer aliasing artifacts.

If the image does not have mipmaps, they will be generated and used internally, but no mipmaps will be generated on the resulting image.

Note: If you intend to scale multiple copies of the original image, it’s better to call generate_mipmaps] on it in advance, to avoid wasting processing power in generating them again and again.

On the other hand, if the image already has mipmaps, they will be used, and a new set will be generated for the resulting image.

• INTERPOLATE_LANCZOS = 4 —- Performs Lanczos interpolation. This is the slowest image resizing mode, but it typically gives the best results, especially when downscalng images.

enum AlphaMode:

• ALPHA_NONE = 0 —- Image does not have alpha.

• ALPHA_BIT = 1 —- Image stores alpha in a single bit.

• ALPHA_BLEND = 2 —- Image uses alpha.

enum CompressMode:

• COMPRESS_S3TC = 0 —- Use S3TC compression.

• COMPRESS_PVRTC2 = 1 —- Use PVRTC2 compression.

• COMPRESS_PVRTC4 = 2 —- Use PVRTC4 compression.

• COMPRESS_ETC = 3 —- Use ETC compression.

• COMPRESS_ETC2 = 4 —- Use ETC2 compression.

enum CompressSource:

• COMPRESS_SOURCE_GENERIC = 0 —- Source texture (before compression) is a regular texture. Default for all textures.

• COMPRESS_SOURCE_SRGB = 1 —- Source texture (before compression) is in sRGB space.

• COMPRESS_SOURCE_NORMAL = 2 —- Source texture (before compression) is a normal texture (e.g. it can be compressed into two channels).

Constants

• MAX_WIDTH = 16384 —- The maximal width allowed for Image resources.

• MAX_HEIGHT = 16384 —- The maximal height allowed for Image resources.

Property Descriptions

Holds all the image’s color data in a given format. See Format constants.

Method Descriptions

• void blend_rect ( Image src, Rect2 src_rect, Vector2 dst )

Alpha-blends src_rect from src image to this image at coordinates dest.

• void blend_rect_mask ( Image src, Image mask, Rect2 src_rect, Vector2 dst )

Alpha-blends src_rect from src image to this image using mask image at coordinates dst. Alpha channels are required for both src and mask. dst pixels and src pixels will blend if the corresponding mask pixel’s alpha value is not 0. src image and mask image must have the same size (width and height) but they can have different formats.

• void blit_rect ( Image src, Rect2 src_rect, Vector2 dst )

Copies src_rect from src image to this image at coordinates dst.

• void blit_rect_mask ( Image src, Image mask, Rect2 src_rect, Vector2 dst )

Blits src_rect area from src image to this image at the coordinates given by dst. src pixel is copied onto dst if the corresponding mask pixel’s alpha value is not 0. src image and mask image must have the same size (width and height) but they can have different formats.

• void bumpmap_to_normalmap ( float bump_scale=1.0 )

Converts a bumpmap to a normalmap. A bumpmap provides a height offset per-pixel, while a normalmap provides a normal direction per pixel.

• void clear_mipmaps ( )

Removes the image’s mipmaps.

• Error compress ( CompressMode mode, CompressSource source, float lossy_quality )

Compresses the image to use less memory. Can not directly access pixel data while the image is compressed. Returns error if the chosen compression mode is not available. See CompressMode and CompressSource constants.

• void convert ( Format format )

Converts the image’s format. See Format constants.

• void copy_from ( Image src )

Copies src image to this image.

• void create ( int width, int height, bool use_mipmaps, Format format )

Creates an empty image of given size and format. See Format constants. If use_mipmaps is true then generate mipmaps for this image. See the generate_mipmaps.

• void create_from_data ( int width, int height, bool use_mipmaps, Format format, PoolByteArray data )

Creates a new image of given size and format. See Format constants. Fills the image with the given raw data. If use_mipmaps is true then loads mipmaps for this image from data. See generate_mipmaps.

• void crop ( int width, int height )

Crops the image to the given width and height. If the specified size is larger than the current size, the extra area is filled with black pixels.

• Error decompress ( )

Decompresses the image if it is compressed. Returns an error if decompress function is not available.

• AlphaMode detect_alpha ( ) const

Returns ALPHA_BLEND if the image has data for alpha values. Returns ALPHA_BIT if all the alpha values are stored in a single bit. Returns ALPHA_NONE if no data for alpha values is found.

• void expand_x2_hq2x ( )

Stretches the image and enlarges it by a factor of 2. No interpolation is done.

• void fill ( Color color )

Fills the image with a given Color.

• void fix_alpha_edges ( )

Blends low-alpha pixels with nearby pixels.

• void flip_x ( )

Flips the image horizontally.

• void flip_y ( )

Flips the image vertically.

• Error generate_mipmaps ( bool renormalize=false )

Generates mipmaps for the image. Mipmaps are precalculated lower-resolution copies of the image that are automatically used if the image needs to be scaled down when rendered. They help improve image quality and performance when rendering. This method returns an error if the image is compressed, in a custom format, or if the image’s width/height is 0.

Note: Mipmap generation is done on the CPU, is single-threaded and is always done on the main thread. This means generating mipmaps will result in noticeable stuttering during gameplay, even if generate_mipmaps is called from a Thread.

• PoolByteArray get_data ( ) const

Returns a copy of the image’s raw data.

• Format get_format ( ) const

Returns the image’s format. See Format constants.

• int get_height ( ) const

Returns the offset where the image’s mipmap with index mipmap is stored in the data dictionary.

• Color get_pixel ( int x, int y ) const

Returns the color of the pixel at (x, y) if the image is locked. If the image is unlocked, it always returns a Color with the value (0, 0, 0, 1.0). This is the same as get_pixelv, but two integer arguments instead of a Vector2 argument.

• Color get_pixelv ( Vector2 src ) const

Returns the color of the pixel at src if the image is locked. If the image is unlocked, it always returns a Color with the value (0, 0, 0, 1.0). This is the same as get_pixel, but with a Vector2 argument instead of two integer arguments.

• Error load ( String path )

Loads an image from file path. See Supported image formats for a list of supported image formats and limitations.

Warning: This method should only be used in the editor or in cases when you need to load external images at run-time, such as images located at the user:// directory, and may not work in exported projects.

See also ImageTexture description for usage examples.

• Error load_bmp_from_buffer ( PoolByteArray buffer )

Loads an image from the binary contents of a BMP file.

Note: Godot’s BMP module doesn’t support 16-bit per pixel images. Only 1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit per pixel images are supported.

• Error load_jpg_from_buffer ( PoolByteArray buffer )

Loads an image from the binary contents of a JPEG file.

• Error load_png_from_buffer ( PoolByteArray buffer )

Loads an image from the binary contents of a PNG file.

Loads an image from the binary contents of a TGA file.

• Error load_webp_from_buffer ( PoolByteArray buffer )

Loads an image from the binary contents of a WebP file.

• void lock ( )

Locks the data for reading and writing access. Sends an error to the console if the image is not locked when reading or writing a pixel.

• void normalmap_to_xy ( )

Converts the image’s data to represent coordinates on a 3D plane. This is used when the image represents a normalmap. A normalmap can add lots of detail to a 3D surface without increasing the polygon count.

Multiplies color values with alpha values. Resulting color values for a pixel are (color * alpha)/256.

• void resize ( int width, int height, Interpolation interpolation=1 )

Resizes the image to the given width and height. New pixels are calculated using the interpolation mode defined via Interpolation constants.

• void resize_to_po2 ( bool square=false, Interpolation interpolation=1 )

Resizes the image to the nearest power of 2 for the width and height. If square is true then set width and height to be the same. New pixels are calculated using the interpolation mode defined via Interpolation constants.

• Image rgbe_to_srgb ( )

Converts a standard RGBE (Red Green Blue Exponent) image to an sRGB image.

• Error save_exr ( String path, bool grayscale=false ) const

Saves the image as an EXR file to path. If grayscale is true and the image has only one channel, it will be saved explicitly as monochrome rather than one red channel. This function will return @GlobalScope.ERR_UNAVAILABLE if Godot was compiled without the TinyEXR module.

Note: The TinyEXR module is disabled in non-editor builds, which means save_exr will return @GlobalScope.ERR_UNAVAILABLE when it is called from an exported project.

Saves the image as a PNG file to path.

• PoolByteArray save_png_to_buffer ( ) const

• void set_pixel ( int x, int y, Color color )

var img = Image.new()
img.create(img_width, img_height, false, Image.FORMAT_RGBA8)
img.lock()
img.set_pixel(x, y, color) # Works
img.unlock()
img.set_pixel(x, y, color) # Does not have an effect

• void set_pixelv ( Vector2 dst, Color color )

Sets the Color of the pixel at (dst.x, dst.y) if the image is locked. Note that the dst values must be integers. Example:

var img = Image.new()
img.create(img_width, img_height, false, Image.FORMAT_RGBA8)
img.lock()
img.set_pixelv(Vector2(x, y), color) # Works
