+Description:
+============
+
+WebP codec: library to encode and decode images in WebP format. This package
+contains the library that can be used in other programs to add WebP support,
+as well as the command line tools 'cwebp' and 'dwebp'.
+
+See http://developers.google.com/speed/webp
+
+The latest source tree is available at
+https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libwebp
+
+It is released under the same license as the WebM project.
+See http://www.webmproject.org/license/software/ or the
+"COPYING" file for details. An additional intellectual
+property rights grant can be found in the file PATENTS.
+
+Building:
+=========
+
+Windows build:
+--------------
+
+By running:
+
+  nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-static RTLIBCFG=static OBJDIR=output
+
+the directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\bin will contain the tools
+cwebp.exe and dwebp.exe. The directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\lib will
+contain the libwebp static library.
+The target architecture (x86/x64) is detected by Makefile.vc from the Visual
+Studio compiler (cl.exe) available in the system path.
+
+Unix build using makefile.unix:
+-------------------------------
+
+On platforms with GNU tools installed (gcc and make), running
+
+  make -f makefile.unix
+
+will build the binaries examples/cwebp and examples/dwebp, along
+with the static library src/libwebp.a. No system-wide installation
+is supplied, as this is a simple alternative to the full installation
+system based on the autoconf tools (see below).
+Please refer to makefile.unix for additional details and customizations.
+
+Using autoconf tools:
+---------------------
+Prerequisites:
+A compiler (e.g., gcc), make, autoconf, automake, libtool.
+On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
+minimal build:
+$ sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf automake libtool
+
+When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate the
+configure script.
+
+./configure
+make
+make install
+
+should be all you need to have the following files
+
+/usr/local/include/webp/decode.h
+/usr/local/include/webp/encode.h
+/usr/local/include/webp/types.h
+/usr/local/lib/libwebp.*
+/usr/local/bin/cwebp
+/usr/local/bin/dwebp
+
+installed.
+
+Note: A decode-only library, libwebpdecoder, is available using the
+'--enable-libwebpdecoder' flag. The encode library is built separately and can
+be installed independently using a minor modification in the corresponding
+Makefile.am configure files (see comments there). See './configure --help' for
+more options.
+
+Building for MIPS Linux:
+------------------------
+MIPS Linux toolchain stable available releases can be found at:
+https://community.imgtec.com/developers/mips/tools/codescape-mips-sdk/available-releases/
+
+# Add toolchain to PATH
+export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/toolchain/bin
+
+# 32-bit build for mips32r5 (p5600)
+HOST=mips-mti-linux-gnu
+MIPS_CFLAGS="-O3 -mips32r5 -mabi=32 -mtune=p5600 -mmsa -mfp64 \
+  -msched-weight -mload-store-pairs -fPIE"
+MIPS_LDFLAGS="-mips32r5 -mabi=32 -mmsa -mfp64 -pie"
+
+# 64-bit build for mips64r6 (i6400)
+HOST=mips-img-linux-gnu
+MIPS_CFLAGS="-O3 -mips64r6 -mabi=64 -mtune=i6400 -mmsa -mfp64 \
+  -msched-weight -mload-store-pairs -fPIE"
+MIPS_LDFLAGS="-mips64r6 -mabi=64 -mmsa -mfp64 -pie"
+
+./configure --host=${HOST} --build=`config.guess` \
+  CC="${HOST}-gcc -EL" \
+  CFLAGS="$MIPS_CFLAGS" \
+  LDFLAGS="$MIPS_LDFLAGS"
+make
+make install
+
+CMake:
+------
+The support for CMake is minimal: it only helps you compile libwebp, cwebp and
+dwebp.
+
+Prerequisites:
+A compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and CMake.
+On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
+minimal build:
+$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
+
+When building from git sources, you will need to run cmake to generate the
+configure script.
+
+mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../
+make
+make install
+
+If you also want cwebp or dwebp, you will need to enable them through CMake:
+
+cmake -DWEBP_BUILD_CWEBP=ON -DWEBP_BUILD_DWEBP=ON ../
+
+or through your favorite interface (like ccmake or cmake-qt-gui).
+
+Gradle:
+-------
+The support for Gradle is minimal: it only helps you compile libwebp, cwebp and
+dwebp and webpmux_example.
+
+Prerequisites:
+A compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and gradle.
+On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a
+minimal build:
+$ sudo apt-get install build-essential gradle
+
+When building from git sources, you will need to run the Gradle wrapper with the
+appropriate target, e.g. :
+
+./gradlew buildAllExecutables
+
+SWIG bindings:
+--------------
+
+To generate language bindings from swig/libwebp.swig at least swig-1.3
+(http://www.swig.org) is required.
+
+Currently the following functions are mapped:
+Decode:
+  WebPGetDecoderVersion
+  WebPGetInfo
+  WebPDecodeRGBA
+  WebPDecodeARGB
+  WebPDecodeBGRA
+  WebPDecodeBGR
+  WebPDecodeRGB
+
+Encode:
+  WebPGetEncoderVersion
+  WebPEncodeRGBA
+  WebPEncodeBGRA
+  WebPEncodeRGB
+  WebPEncodeBGR
+  WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA
+  WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA
+  WebPEncodeLosslessRGB
+  WebPEncodeLosslessBGR
+
+See swig/README for more detailed build instructions.
+
+Java bindings:
+
+To build the swig-generated JNI wrapper code at least JDK-1.5 (or equivalent)
+is necessary for enum support. The output is intended to be a shared object /
+DLL that can be loaded via System.loadLibrary("webp_jni").
+
+Python bindings:
+
+To build the swig-generated Python extension code at least Python 2.6 is
+required. Python < 2.6 may build with some minor changes to libwebp.swig or the
+generated code, but is untested.
+
+Encoding tool:
+==============
+
+The examples/ directory contains tools for encoding (cwebp) and
+decoding (dwebp) images.
+
+The easiest use should look like:
+  cwebp input.png -q 80 -o output.webp
+which will convert the input file to a WebP file using a quality factor of 80
+on a 0->100 scale (0 being the lowest quality, 100 being the best. Default
+value is 75).
+You might want to try the -lossless flag too, which will compress the source
+(in RGBA format) without any loss. The -q quality parameter will in this case
+control the amount of processing time spent trying to make the output file as
+small as possible.
+
+A longer list of options is available using the -longhelp command line flag:
+
+> cwebp -longhelp
+Usage:
+ cwebp [-preset <...>] [options] in_file [-o out_file]
+
+If input size (-s) for an image is not specified, it is
+assumed to be a PNG, JPEG, TIFF or WebP file.
+
+Options:
+  -h / -help ............. short help
+  -H / -longhelp ......... long help
+  -q <float> ............. quality factor (0:small..100:big), default=75
+  -alpha_q <int> ......... transparency-compression quality (0..100),

+     -preset must come first, as it overwrites other parameters
+  -z <int> ............... activates lossless preset with given
+                           level in [0:fast, ..., 9:slowest]
+

+  -f <int> ............... filter strength (0=off..100), default=60
+  -sharpness <int> ....... filter sharpness (0:most .. 7:least sharp), default=0
+  -strong ................ use strong filter instead of simple (default)
+  -nostrong .............. use simple filter instead of strong
+  -sharp_yuv ............. use sharper (and slower) RGB->YUV conversion
+  -partition_limit <int> . limit quality to fit the 512k limit on
+                           the first partition (0=no degradation ... 100=full)
+  -pass <int> ............ analysis pass number (1..10)
+  -crop <x> <y> <w> <h> .. crop picture with the given rectangle
+  -resize <w> <h> ........ resize picture (after any cropping)
+  -mt .................... use multi-threading if available
+  -low_memory ............ reduce memory usage (slower encoding)
+  -map <int> ............. print map of extra info
+  -print_psnr ............ prints averaged PSNR distortion
+  -print_ssim ............ prints averaged SSIM distortion
+  -print_lsim ............ prints local-similarity distortion
+  -d <file.pgm> .......... dump the compressed output (PGM file)
+  -alpha_method <int> .... transparency-compression method (0..1), default=1
+  -alpha_filter <string> . predictive filtering for alpha plane,
+                           one of: none, fast (default) or best
+  -exact ................. preserve RGB values in transparent area, default=off
+  -blend_alpha <hex> ..... blend colors against background color
+                           expressed as RGB values written in
+                           hexadecimal, e.g. 0xc0e0d0 for red=0xc0

+                           one of: photo, picture or graph
+
+  -metadata <string> ..... comma separated list of metadata to
+                           copy from the input to the output if present.
+                           Valid values: all, none (default), exif, icc, xmp

+  -version ............... print version number and exit
+  -noasm ................. disable all assembly optimizations
+  -v ..................... verbose, e.g. print encoding/decoding times
+  -progress .............. report encoding progress
+
+Experimental Options:
+  -jpeg_like ............. roughly match expected JPEG size
+  -af .................... auto-adjust filter strength
+  -pre <int> ............. pre-processing filter
+
+The main options you might want to try in order to further tune the
+visual quality are:
+ -preset
+ -sns
+ -f
+ -m
+
+Namely:
+  * 'preset' will set up a default encoding configuration targeting a
+     particular type of input. It should appear first in the list of options,
+     so that subsequent options can take effect on top of this preset.
+     Default value is 'default'.
+  * 'sns' will progressively turn on (when going from 0 to 100) some additional
+     visual optimizations (like: segmentation map re-enforcement). This option
+     will balance the bit allocation differently. It tries to take bits from the
+     "easy" parts of the picture and use them in the "difficult" ones instead.
+     Usually, raising the sns value (at fixed -q value) leads to larger files,
+     but with better quality.
+     Typical value is around '75'.
+  * 'f' option directly links to the filtering strength used by the codec's
+     in-loop processing. The higher the value, the smoother the
+     highly-compressed area will look. This is particularly useful when aiming
+     at very small files. Typical values are around 20-30. Note that using the
+     option -strong/-nostrong will change the type of filtering. Use "-f 0" to
+     turn filtering off.
+  * 'm' controls the trade-off between encoding speed and quality. Default is 4.
+     You can try -m 5 or -m 6 to explore more (time-consuming) encoding
+     possibilities. A lower value will result in faster encoding at the expense
+     of quality.
+
+Decoding tool:
+==============
+
+There is a decoding sample in examples/dwebp.c which will take
+a .webp file and decode it to a PNG image file (amongst other formats).
+This is simply to demonstrate the use of the API. You can verify the
+file test.webp decodes to exactly the same as test_ref.ppm by using:
+
+ cd examples
+ ./dwebp test.webp -ppm -o test.ppm
+ diff test.ppm test_ref.ppm
+
+The full list of options is available using -h:
+
+> dwebp -h
+Usage: dwebp in_file [options] [-o out_file]
+
+Decodes the WebP image file to PNG format [Default]
+Use following options to convert into alternate image formats:
+  -pam ......... save the raw RGBA samples as a color PAM
+  -ppm ......... save the raw RGB samples as a color PPM
+  -bmp ......... save as uncompressed BMP format
+  -tiff ........ save as uncompressed TIFF format
+  -pgm ......... save the raw YUV samples as a grayscale PGM
+                 file with IMC4 layout
+  -yuv ......... save the raw YUV samples in flat layout
+
+ Other options are:
+  -version ..... print version number and exit
+  -nofancy ..... don't use the fancy YUV420 upscaler
+  -nofilter .... disable in-loop filtering
+  -nodither .... disable dithering
+  -dither <d> .. dithering strength (in 0..100)
+  -alpha_dither  use alpha-plane dithering if needed
+  -mt .......... use multi-threading
+  -crop <x> <y> <w> <h> ... crop output with the given rectangle
+  -resize <w> <h> ......... scale the output (*after* any cropping)
+  -flip ........ flip the output vertically
+  -alpha ....... only save the alpha plane
+  -incremental . use incremental decoding (useful for tests)
+  -h ........... this help message
+  -v ........... verbose (e.g. print encoding/decoding times)
+  -quiet ....... quiet mode, don't print anything
+  -noasm ....... disable all assembly optimizations
+
+Visualization tool:
+===================
+
+There's a little self-serve visualization tool called 'vwebp' under the
+examples/ directory. It uses OpenGL to open a simple drawing window and show
+a decoded WebP file. It's not yet integrated in the automake build system, but
+you can try to manually compile it using the recommendations below.
+
+Usage: vwebp in_file [options]
+
+Decodes the WebP image file and visualize it using OpenGL
+Options are:
+  -version ..... print version number and exit
+  -noicc ....... don't use the icc profile if present
+  -nofancy ..... don't use the fancy YUV420 upscaler
+  -nofilter .... disable in-loop filtering
+  -dither <int>  dithering strength (0..100), default=50
+  -noalphadither disable alpha plane dithering
+  -mt .......... use multi-threading
+  -info ........ print info
+  -h ........... this help message
+
+Keyboard shortcuts:
+  'c' ................ toggle use of color profile
+  'i' ................ overlay file information
+  'd' ................ disable blending & disposal (debug)
+  'q' / 'Q' / ESC .... quit

+$ make
+
+Encoding API:
+=============
+
+The main encoding functions are available in the header src/webp/encode.h
+The ready-to-use ones are:
+size_t WebPEncodeRGB(const uint8_t* rgb, int width, int height, int stride,
+                     float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
+size_t WebPEncodeBGR(const uint8_t* bgr, int width, int height, int stride,
+                     float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
+size_t WebPEncodeRGBA(const uint8_t* rgba, int width, int height, int stride,
+                      float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
+size_t WebPEncodeBGRA(const uint8_t* bgra, int width, int height, int stride,
+                      float quality_factor, uint8_t** output);
+
+They will convert raw RGB samples to a WebP data. The only control supplied
+is the quality factor.
+
+There are some variants for using the lossless format:
+
+size_t WebPEncodeLosslessRGB(const uint8_t* rgb, int width, int height,
+                             int stride, uint8_t** output);
+size_t WebPEncodeLosslessBGR(const uint8_t* bgr, int width, int height,
+                             int stride, uint8_t** output);
+size_t WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA(const uint8_t* rgba, int width, int height,
+                              int stride, uint8_t** output);
+size_t WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA(const uint8_t* bgra, int width, int height,
+                              int stride, uint8_t** output);
+
+Of course in this case, no quality factor is needed since the compression
+occurs without loss of the input values, at the expense of larger output sizes.
+
+Advanced encoding API:
+----------------------
+
+A more advanced API is based on the WebPConfig and WebPPicture structures.
+
+WebPConfig contains the encoding settings and is not tied to a particular
+picture.
+WebPPicture contains input data, on which some WebPConfig will be used for
+compression.
+The encoding flow looks like:
+
+-------------------------------------- BEGIN PSEUDO EXAMPLE
+
+#include <webp/encode.h>
+
+  // Setup a config, starting form a preset and tuning some additional
+  // parameters
+  WebPConfig config;
+  if (!WebPConfigPreset(&config, WEBP_PRESET_PHOTO, quality_factor))
+    return 0;   // version error
+  }
+  // ... additional tuning
+  config.sns_strength = 90;
+  config.filter_sharpness = 6;
+  config_error = WebPValidateConfig(&config);  // not mandatory, but useful
+
+  // Setup the input data
+  WebPPicture pic;
+  if (!WebPPictureInit(&pic)) {
+    return 0;  // version error
+  }
+  pic.width = width;
+  pic.height = height;
+  // allocated picture of dimension width x height
+  if (!WebPPictureAllocate(&pic)) {
+    return 0;   // memory error
+  }
+  // at this point, 'pic' has been initialized as a container,
+  // and can receive the Y/U/V samples.
+  // Alternatively, one could use ready-made import functions like
+  // WebPPictureImportRGB(), which will take care of memory allocation.
+  // In any case, past this point, one will have to call
+  // WebPPictureFree(&pic) to reclaim memory.

+  // Set up a byte-output write method. WebPMemoryWriter, for instance.
+  WebPMemoryWriter wrt;
+  WebPMemoryWriterInit(&wrt);     // initialize 'wrt'
+
+  pic.writer = MyFileWriter;
+  pic.custom_ptr = my_opaque_structure_to_make_MyFileWriter_work;
+
+  // Compress!
+  int ok = WebPEncode(&config, &pic);   // ok = 0 => error occurred!
+  WebPPictureFree(&pic);  // must be called independently of the 'ok' result.
+
+  // output data should have been handled by the writer at that point.

+
+Decoding API:
+=============
+
+This is mainly just one function to call:
+
+#include "webp/decode.h"
+uint8_t* WebPDecodeRGB(const uint8_t* data, size_t data_size,
+                       int* width, int* height);
+
+Please have a look at the file src/webp/decode.h for the details.
+There are variants for decoding in BGR/RGBA/ARGB/BGRA order, along with
+decoding to raw Y'CbCr samples. One can also decode the image directly into a
+pre-allocated buffer.
+
+To detect a WebP file and gather the picture's dimensions, the function:
+  int WebPGetInfo(const uint8_t* data, size_t data_size,
+                  int* width, int* height);
+is supplied. No decoding is involved when using it.
+
+Incremental decoding API:
+=========================
+
+In the case when data is being progressively transmitted, pictures can still
+be incrementally decoded using a slightly more complicated API. Decoder state
+is stored into an instance of the WebPIDecoder object. This object can be
+created with the purpose of decoding either RGB or Y'CbCr samples.
+For instance:
+
+  WebPDecBuffer buffer;
+  WebPInitDecBuffer(&buffer);
+  buffer.colorspace = MODE_BGR;
+  ...
+  WebPIDecoder* idec = WebPINewDecoder(&buffer);
+
+As data is made progressively available, this incremental-decoder object
+can be used to decode the picture further. There are two (mutually exclusive)
+ways to pass freshly arrived data:
+
+either by appending the fresh bytes:
+
+  WebPIAppend(idec, fresh_data, size_of_fresh_data);
+
+or by just mentioning the new size of the transmitted data:
+
+  WebPIUpdate(idec, buffer, size_of_transmitted_buffer);
+
+Note that 'buffer' can be modified between each call to WebPIUpdate, in
+particular when the buffer is resized to accommodate larger data.
+
+These functions will return the decoding status: either VP8_STATUS_SUSPENDED if
+decoding is not finished yet or VP8_STATUS_OK when decoding is done. Any other
+status is an error condition.
+
+The 'idec' object must always be released (even upon an error condition) by
+calling: WebPDelete(idec).
+
+To retrieve partially decoded picture samples, one must use the corresponding
+method: WebPIDecGetRGB or WebPIDecGetYUVA.
+It will return the last displayable pixel row.
+
+Lastly, note that decoding can also be performed into a pre-allocated pixel
+buffer. This buffer must be passed when creating a WebPIDecoder, calling
+WebPINewRGB() or WebPINewYUVA().
+
+Please have a look at the src/webp/decode.h header for further details.
+
+Advanced Decoding API:
+======================
+
+WebP decoding supports an advanced API which provides on-the-fly cropping and
+rescaling, something of great usefulness on memory-constrained environments like
+mobile phones. Basically, the memory usage will scale with the output's size,
+not the input's, when one only needs a quick preview or a zoomed in portion of
+an otherwise too-large picture. Some CPU can be saved too, incidentally.
