This procedure reads the comment blocks from a [PNG] file. ---- proc read_png_comments {file} { set fh [open $file r] fconfigure $fh -encoding binary -translation binary -eofchar {} if {[read $fh 8] != "\x89PNG\r\n\x1a\n"} { close $fh; return } set text {} while {[set r [read $fh 8]] != ""} { binary scan $r Ia4 len type set r [read $fh $len] if {[eof $fh]} { close $fh; return } if {$type == "tEXt"} { lappend text [split $r \x00] } elseif {$type == "iTXt"} { set keyword [lindex [split $r \x00] 0] set r [string range $r [expr {[string length $keyword] + 1}] end] binary scan $r cc comp method if {$comp == 0} { lappend text [linsert [split [string range $r 2 end] \x00] 0 $keyword] } } seek $fh 4 current } close $fh return $text } ---- Currently only supports uncompressed comments. Does not attempt to verify checksum. Todo: add inflate support. Returns a list where each element is a comment. Each comment is itself a list. a plain text comment consists of 2 elements: the human readable keyword, and the text data. a unicode (international) comment is 4 elements: the human readable keyword, the langauge identifier, the translated keyword, and the unicode text data. --[AF] 18-12-03 ---- [Category Graphics] - [Category File]
