How to save a PNG image in Rust?

Question

给定一个u8字节的向量（每像素4个字节 - RGBA），如何将其保存到PNG文件中？

Answer 1

You could use the image crate in the Piston repository to save the raw buffer to disk.

The example at the bottom of the page shows you how to do this..:

extern crate image;

fn main() {

    let buffer: &[u8] = ...; // Generate the image data

    // Save the buffer as "image.png"
    image::save_buffer(&Path::new("image.png"), buffer, 800, 600, image::RGBA(8))
}

Answer 2

This is a self contained, pure Rust implementation of a PNG image writing function.

It's based on my Python answer here .

Notes:

• Since Rust doesn't expose zlib, this is quite a bit larger than the original Python code.
• This avoids using zlib by writing an uncompressed image.
• crc32 and adler32 checksum implementations are included as modules.
• The key function to check is write , which takes any writable type (typically a file).

Example:

mod crc32 {
    // https://github.com/ledbettj/crc32/blob/master/rust/src/crc32.rs
    pub struct Crc32 {
        table: [u32; 256],
        value: u32,
    }

    const CRC32_INITIAL: u32 = 0xedb88320;

    impl Crc32 {
        pub fn new() -> Crc32 {
            let mut c = Crc32 {
                table: [0; 256],
                value: 0xffffffff,
            };
            for i in 0..256 {
                let mut v = i as u32;
                for _ in 0..8 {
                    v = if v & 1 != 0 {
                        CRC32_INITIAL ^ (v >> 1)
                    } else {
                        v >> 1
                    }
                }
                c.table[i] = v;
            }
            return c;
        }

        pub fn start(&mut self) {
            self.value = 0xffffffff;
        }

        pub fn update(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) {
            for &i in buf {
                self.value = self.table[((self.value ^ (i as u32)) & 0xff) as usize] ^
                            (self.value >> 8);
            }
        }

        pub fn finalize(&mut self) -> u32 {
            self.value ^ 0xffffffff_u32
        }

        #[allow(dead_code)]
        pub fn crc(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> u32 {
            self.start();
            self.update(buf);
            self.finalize()
        }
    }
}

mod adler32 {
    // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adler-32

    pub struct Adler32 {
        a: u32,
        b: u32,
    }

    const MOD_ADLER: u32 = 65521;

    impl Adler32 {
        pub fn new() -> Adler32 {
            Adler32 { a: 1, b: 0 }
        }

        pub fn start(&mut self) {
            self.a = 1;
            self.b = 0;
        }

        pub fn update(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) {
            for &i in buf {
                self.a = (self.a + i as u32) % MOD_ADLER;
                self.b = (self.a + self.b) % MOD_ADLER;
            }
        }

        pub fn finalize(&self) -> u32 {
            return (self.b << 16) | self.a;
        }

        #[allow(dead_code)]
        pub fn crc(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> u32 {
            self.start();
            self.update(buf);
            self.finalize()
        }
    }

This has since been made into the png_encode_mini crate , which is basically the same as this snippet.
