 | 
| +==========================================================================
 | 
| +
 | 
| +This file describes cjpeg's "switches for wizards".
 | 
| +
 | 
| +The "wizard" switches are intended for experimentation with JPEG by persons
 | 
| +who are reasonably knowledgeable about the JPEG standard.  If you don't know
 | 
| +what you are doing, DON'T USE THESE SWITCHES.  You'll likely produce files
 | 
| +with worse image quality and/or poorer compression than you'd get from the
 | 
| +default settings.  Furthermore, these switches must be used with caution
 | 
| +when making files intended for general use, because not all JPEG decoders
 | 
| +will support unusual JPEG parameter settings.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Quantization Table Adjustment
 | 
| +-----------------------------
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Ordinarily, cjpeg starts with a default set of tables (the same ones given
 | 
| +as examples in the JPEG standard) and scales them up or down according to
 | 
| +the -quality setting.  The details of the scaling algorithm can be found in
 | 
| +jcparam.c.  At very low quality settings, some quantization table entries
 | 
| +can get scaled up to values exceeding 255.  Although 2-byte quantization
 | 
| +values are supported by the IJG software, this feature is not in baseline
 | 
| +JPEG and is not supported by all implementations.  If you need to ensure
 | 
| +wide compatibility of low-quality files, you can constrain the scaled
 | 
| +quantization values to no more than 255 by giving the -baseline switch.
 | 
| +Note that use of -baseline will result in poorer quality for the same file
 | 
| +size, since more bits than necessary are expended on higher AC coefficients.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +You can substitute a different set of quantization values by using the
 | 
| +-qtables switch:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        -qtables file   Use the quantization tables given in the named file.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +The specified file should be a text file containing decimal quantization
 | 
| +values.  The file should contain one to four tables, each of 64 elements.
 | 
| +The tables are implicitly numbered 0,1,etc. in order of appearance.  Table
 | 
| +entries appear in normal array order (NOT in the zigzag order in which they
 | 
| +will be stored in the JPEG file).
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Quantization table files are free format, in that arbitrary whitespace can
 | 
| +appear between numbers.  Also, comments can be included: a comment starts
 | 
| +with '#' and extends to the end of the line.  Here is an example file that
 | 
| +duplicates the default quantization tables:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        # Quantization tables given in JPEG spec, section K.1
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        # This is table 0 (the luminance table):
 | 
| +          16  11  10  16  24  40  51  61
 | 
| +          12  12  14  19  26  58  60  55
 | 
| +          14  13  16  24  40  57  69  56
 | 
| +          14  17  22  29  51  87  80  62
 | 
| +          18  22  37  56  68 109 103  77
 | 
| +          24  35  55  64  81 104 113  92
 | 
| +          49  64  78  87 103 121 120 101
 | 
| +          72  92  95  98 112 100 103  99
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        # This is table 1 (the chrominance table):
 | 
| +          17  18  24  47  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          18  21  26  66  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          24  26  56  99  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          47  66  99  99  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          99  99  99  99  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          99  99  99  99  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          99  99  99  99  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +          99  99  99  99  99  99  99  99
 | 
| +
 | 
| +If the -qtables switch is used without -quality, then the specified tables
 | 
| +are used exactly as-is.  If both -qtables and -quality are used, then the
 | 
| +tables taken from the file are scaled in the same fashion that the default
 | 
| +tables would be scaled for that quality setting.  If -baseline appears, then
 | 
| +the quantization values are constrained to the range 1-255.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +By default, cjpeg will use quantization table 0 for luminance components and
 | 
| +table 1 for chrominance components.  To override this choice, use the -qslots
 | 
| +switch:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        -qslots N[,...]         Select which quantization table to use for
 | 
| +                                each color component.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +The -qslots switch specifies a quantization table number for each color
 | 
| +component, in the order in which the components appear in the JPEG SOF marker.
 | 
| +For example, to create a separate table for each of Y,Cb,Cr, you could
 | 
| +provide a -qtables file that defines three quantization tables and say
 | 
| +"-qslots 0,1,2".  If -qslots gives fewer table numbers than there are color
 | 
| +components, then the last table number is repeated as necessary.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Sampling Factor Adjustment
 | 
| +--------------------------
 | 
| +
 | 
| +By default, cjpeg uses 2:1 horizontal and vertical downsampling when
 | 
| +compressing YCbCr data, and no downsampling for all other color spaces.
 | 
| +You can override this default with the -sample switch:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        -sample HxV[,...]       Set JPEG sampling factors for each color
 | 
| +                                component.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +The -sample switch specifies the JPEG sampling factors for each color
 | 
| +component, in the order in which they appear in the JPEG SOF marker.
 | 
| +If you specify fewer HxV pairs than there are components, the remaining
 | 
| +components are set to 1x1 sampling.  For example, the default YCbCr setting
 | 
| +is equivalent to "-sample 2x2,1x1,1x1", which can be abbreviated to
 | 
| +"-sample 2x2".
 | 
| +
 | 
| +There are still some JPEG decoders in existence that support only 2x1
 | 
| +sampling (also called 4:2:2 sampling).  Compatibility with such decoders can
 | 
| +be achieved by specifying "-sample 2x1".  This is not recommended unless
 | 
| +really necessary, since it increases file size and encoding/decoding time
 | 
| +with very little quality gain.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Multiple Scan / Progression Control
 | 
| +-----------------------------------
 | 
| +
 | 
| +By default, cjpeg emits a single-scan sequential JPEG file.  The
 | 
| +-progressive switch generates a progressive JPEG file using a default series
 | 
| +of progression parameters.  You can create multiple-scan sequential JPEG
 | 
| +files or progressive JPEG files with custom progression parameters by using
 | 
| +the -scans switch:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        -scans file     Use the scan sequence given in the named file.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +The specified file should be a text file containing a "scan script".
 | 
| +The script specifies the contents and ordering of the scans to be emitted.
 | 
| +Each entry in the script defines one scan.  A scan definition specifies
 | 
| +the components to be included in the scan, and for progressive JPEG it also
 | 
| +specifies the progression parameters Ss,Se,Ah,Al for the scan.  Scan
 | 
| +definitions are separated by semicolons (';').  A semicolon after the last
 | 
| +scan definition is optional.
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Each scan definition contains one to four component indexes, optionally
 | 
| +followed by a colon (':') and the four progressive-JPEG parameters.  The
 | 
| +component indexes denote which color component(s) are to be transmitted in
 | 
| +the scan.  Components are numbered in the order in which they appear in the
 | 
| +JPEG SOF marker, with the first component being numbered 0.  (Note that these
 | 
| +indexes are not the "component ID" codes assigned to the components, just
 | 
| +positional indexes.)
 | 
| +
 | 
| +The progression parameters for each scan are:
 | 
| +        Ss      Zigzag index of first coefficient included in scan
 | 
| +        Se      Zigzag index of last coefficient included in scan
 | 
| +        Ah      Zero for first scan of a coefficient, else Al of prior scan
 | 
| +        Al      Successive approximation low bit position for scan
 | 
| +If the progression parameters are omitted, the values 0,63,0,0 are used,
 | 
| +producing a sequential JPEG file.  cjpeg automatically determines whether
 | 
| +the script represents a progressive or sequential file, by observing whether
 | 
| +Ss and Se values other than 0 and 63 appear.  (The -progressive switch is
 | 
| +not needed to specify this; in fact, it is ignored when -scans appears.)
 | 
| +The scan script must meet the JPEG restrictions on progression sequences.
 | 
| +(cjpeg checks that the spec's requirements are obeyed.)
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Scan script files are free format, in that arbitrary whitespace can appear
 | 
| +between numbers and around punctuation.  Also, comments can be included: a
 | 
| +comment starts with '#' and extends to the end of the line.  For additional
 | 
| +legibility, commas or dashes can be placed between values.  (Actually, any
 | 
| +single punctuation character other than ':' or ';' can be inserted.)  For
 | 
| +example, the following two scan definitions are equivalent:
 | 
| +        0 1 2: 0 63 0 0;
 | 
| +        0,1,2 : 0-63, 0,0 ;
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Here is an example of a scan script that generates a partially interleaved
 | 
| +sequential JPEG file:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        0;                      # Y only in first scan
 | 
| +        1 2;                    # Cb and Cr in second scan
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Here is an example of a progressive scan script using only spectral selection
 | 
| +(no successive approximation):
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        # Interleaved DC scan for Y,Cb,Cr:
 | 
| +        0,1,2: 0-0,   0, 0 ;
 | 
| +        # AC scans:
 | 
| +        0:     1-2,   0, 0 ;    # First two Y AC coefficients
 | 
| +        0:     3-5,   0, 0 ;    # Three more
 | 
| +        1:     1-63,  0, 0 ;    # All AC coefficients for Cb
 | 
| +        2:     1-63,  0, 0 ;    # All AC coefficients for Cr
 | 
| +        0:     6-9,   0, 0 ;    # More Y coefficients
 | 
| +        0:     10-63, 0, 0 ;    # Remaining Y coefficients
 | 
| +
 | 
| +Here is an example of a successive-approximation script.  This is equivalent
 | 
| +to the default script used by "cjpeg -progressive" for YCbCr images:
 | 
| +
 | 
| +        # Initial DC scan for Y,Cb,Cr (lowest bit not sent)
 | 
| +        0,1,2: 0-0,   0, 1 ;
 | 
| +        # First AC scan: send first 5 Y AC coefficients, minus 2 lowest bits:
 | 
| +        0:     1-5,   0, 2 ;
 | 
| +        # Send all Cr,Cb AC coefficients, minus lowest bit:
 | 
| +        # (chroma data is usually too small to be worth subdividing further;
 | 
| +        #  but note we send Cr first since eye is least sensitive to Cb)
 | 
| +        2:     1-63,  0, 1 ;
 | 
| +        1:     1-63,  0, 1 ;
 | 
| +        # Send remaining Y AC coefficients, minus 2 lowest bits:
 | 
| +        0:     6-63,  0, 2 ;
 | 
| +        # Send next-to-lowest bit of all Y AC coefficients:
 | 
| +        0:     1-63,  2, 1 ;
 | 
| +        # At this point we've sent all but the lowest bit of all coefficients.
 | 
| +        # Send lowest bit of DC coefficients
 | 
| +        0,1,2: 0-0,   1, 0 ;
 | 
| +        # Send lowest bit of AC coefficients
 | 
| +        2:     1-63,  1, 0 ;
 | 
| +        1:     1-63,  1, 0 ;
 | 
| +        # Y AC lowest bit scan is last; it's usually the largest scan
 | 
| +        0:     1-63,  1, 0 ;
 | 
| +
 | 
| +It may be worth pointing out that this script is tuned for quality settings
 | 
| +of around 50 to 75.  For lower quality settings, you'd probably want to use
 | 
| +a script with fewer stages of successive approximation (otherwise the
 | 
| +initial scans will be really bad).  For higher quality settings, you might
 | 
| +want to use more stages of successive approximation (so that the initial
 | 
| +scans are not too large).
