Data Structures
libraw_data_t: Main Data Structure of LibRaw
Structure libraw_data_t is a "wrapping" for data structures accessible to the user of the library.
When one uses C++ API, it is accessible as LibRaw::imgdata (class_instance.imgdata). The data in this structure appear after
a file is opened through open_file (and other open_ calls), except for the image itself (filled by unpack()) and data containing
the preview information (filled by calling unpack_thumb()).
Data fields:
- unsigned int progress_flags;

This field records the past phases of image processing.
- unsigned int progress_flags;
-
This field records suspicious situations (warnings) that have emerged during image processing.
- libraw_iparams_t idata;
-
The structure describes the main image parameters retrieved from the RAW file. Fields of this structure
are described in detail below.
- libraw_image_sizes_t sizes;
-
The structure describes the geometrical parameters of the image. Fields of this structure
are described in detail below.
- libraw_colordata_t color;
-
The structure contains color data retrieved from the file. Fields of this structure
are described in detail below.
- libraw_imgother_t other;
-
Data structure for information purposes: it contains the image parameters that have been extracted from the file but are
not needed in further file processing. Fields of this structure are described in detail below.
- libraw_thumbnail_t thumbnail;
-
Data structure containing information on the preview and the preview data themselves. All fields of this
structure but thumbnail itself are filled when open_file() is called. Thumbnail readed by unpack_thumb() call.
The fields are described in detail below.
- libraw_rawdata_t rawdata;
-
Data structure with pointer to raw-data buffer.

Input abstraction layer
RAW data input (read) in LibRaw implemented by calling methods of object derived from
LibRaw_abstract_datastream abstract class. Full list of methods is described in
href="API-CXX-eng.html#datastream">C++ API reference.
There is two ready to use implementations of datastream objects:
LibRaw user can create own datastream object derived from
LibRaw_abstract_datastream. For example, such object may
implement reading RAW data directly from camera (by remote interface). LibRaw can use these
objects via
LibRaw::open_datastream() interface.
Datastreams can be used either via
LibRaw::open_datastream() call (in this case datastream
object should be created an maintained by user) or via
LibRaw::open_file() and
LibRaw::open_buffer() shortcuts.
Only C++ API users may use object-oriented interface and
implement own input interfaces. For C API users only
built-on libraw_open_file()/libraw_open_buffer() shortcuts are avaliable.
Data fields
Definition:
class LibRaw_abstract_datastream {
...
protected:
LibRaw_abstract_datastream *substream;
}
Description:
Ojects derived from LibRaw_abstract_datastream always contains pointer to secondary data stream
(substream). This substream initialized internally when needed (really used only for Sony RAW data) and
used for temporary switch input stream to temporary memory buffer allocated internally in LibRaw.
Substream usage details described more precisely in
own datastream objects creation guide.
Constants
enum LibRaw_errors: Error Codes
All functions returning integer numbers must return either errno or one of the following error codes (see also error code conventions).
Fatal errors (return of such an error code implies that file processing has to be terminated, since
the state of data structures is unknown).
- LIBRAW_UNSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
- Attempt to get memory from the system has failed.
All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw
object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
- LIBRAW_DATA_ERROR
- A fatal error emerged during data unpacking.
All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw
object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
- LIBRAW_IO_ERROR
- A fatal error emerged during file reading (premature end-of-file encountered or file is corrupt).
All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw
object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
- LIBRAW_CANCELLED_BY_CALLBACK
- Processing cancelled due to calling application demand (by returning nonzero code from
progress callback).
All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and
the LibRaw object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
- LIBRAW_BAD_CROP
- The incorrect cropping coordinates are set via params.cropbox[]: the left-top corner of cropping
rectangle is outside the image.
The processing will be cancelled, all allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw object will be brought to the
state "right after creation."

- LIBRAW_PROGRESS_STAGE17 - LIBRAW_PROGRESS_STAGE27
-
Reserved for possible appearance of other processing stages.
The following flags are set during loading of thumbnails.
LIBRAW_PROGRESS_THUMB_LOAD
Thumbnail data have been loaded (for Kodak cameras, the necessary conversions have also been made).
LIBRAW_PROGRESS_TRESERVED1 - LIBRAW_PROGRESS_TRESERVED3
Reserved for possible future processing stages.
enum LibRaw_thumbnail_formats: Thumbnail Data Formats
Thumbnail data format is written in the imgdata.thumbnail.tformat data field.
Presently LibRaw knows about four thumbnail formats, among which two are unpacked:
- LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_UNKNOWN
- Format unknown or thumbnail not yet read.
- LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_JPEG
- The thumbnail buffer contains a JPEG file (read from the RAW file "as is," without any manipulations performed on it).
- LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_BITMAP
-
The thumbnail buffer contains the gamma-adjusted RGB bitmap (for Kodak cameras, the gamma correction is performed with allowance
for maximum values and the white balance is set in accordance with the camera settings).
In this format, each pixel of the image is represented by a 8-bit RGB triplet.
- LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_LAYER
-
Data format is presently recognized upon opening of RAW file but not supported: not unpacked into LibRaw::unpack_thumb.
- LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_ROLLEI
-
Data format is presently recognized upon opening of RAW file but not supported: not unpacked into LibRaw::unpack_thumb.
Nonstandard Situations (Warnings) during RAW Data Processing
Some suspicious situations emerging during image processing are not fatal but may affect the result of data
retrieval or postprocessing. Such states are indicated by setting a bit in the imgdata.process_warnings field.
- LIBRAW_WARN_FOVEON_NOMATRIX
-
Only for cameras with Foveon: extraction of one of data matrices has failed.
- LIBRAW_WARN_FOVEON_INVALIDWB
-
Only for cameras with Foveon: extraction of white balance data has failed.
- LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_CAMERA_WB
-
Postprocessing must use white balance of the camera but this balance is not suitable for use.
- LIBRAW_WARN_NO_METADATA
-
Only for cameras where the metadata are taken from an external JPEG file: metadata extraction has failed.
- LIBRAW_WARN_NO_JPEGLIB
-
Only for P&S Kodak cameras: data in JPEG format. At the same time, open_file() will return LIBRAW_FILE_UNSUPPORTED.
- LIBRAW_WARN_NO_EMBEDDED_PROFILE
-
(only if LCMS support compiled in).
Caller set embedded input profile use, but no such profile exists in RAW.
- LIBRAW_WARN_NO_INPUT_PROFILE
-
(only if LCMS support compiled in).
Error when opening input profile ICC file.
- LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_OUTPUT_PROFILE
-
(only if LCMS support compiled in).
Error when opening output profile ICC file.
- LIBRAW_WARN_NO_BADPIXELMAP
-
Error when opening bad pixels map file.
- LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_DARKFRAME_FILE
-
Error when opening dark frame file.
- LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_DARKFRAME_DIM
-
Dark frame file either differs in dimensions from RAW-file processed, or have wrong format.
Dark frame should be in 16-bit PGM format (one can generate it using simple_dcraw -4 -D).
enum LibRaw_colorstate: Types of Color Data Source
For each type of retrieved color information (see above for description of structure imgdata.color.color_flags), the
data source is recorded. The possible values are listed below.
- LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_UNKNOWN
-
Data source unknown.
- LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_INIT
-
Data field initialized by default (the same value for all cameras) before opening the RAW file.
- LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_CONST
-
Data source is a hardcoded constant.
- LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_LOADED
-
Data loaded from RAW file.
- LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_CALCULATED
-
Data calculated on the basis of RAW data.
- LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_RESERVED1-LIBRAW_COLORSTATE_RESERVED3
-
Reserved.
enum LibRaw_image_formats - possible types of data, contains in libraw_processed_image_t structure
type field of libraw_processed_image_t structure may have one of these values:
- LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP
-
The structure contains RGB-bitmap, metadata described in other fields of libraw_processed_image_t.
- LIBRAW_IMAGE_JPEG
-
libraw_processed_image_t structure contains JPEG image (in memory). Only data_size field is meaningful.
