Method

VipsImagelinecache

Declaration [src] 

int
vips_linecache (
  VipsImage* in,
  VipsImage** out,
  ...
)

Description [src]

Optional arguments:

  • access: hint expected access pattern VipsAccess
  • tile_height: height of tiles in cache
  • threaded: allow many threads

This operation behaves rather like vips_copy() between images in and out, except that it keeps a cache of computed scanlines.

The number of lines cached is enough for a small amount of non-local access.

Each cache tile is made with a single call to vips_region_prepare().

When the cache fills, a tile is chosen for reuse. If access is

VIPS_ACCESS_RANDOM, then the least-recently-used tile is reused. If

access is #VIPS_ACCESS_SEQUENTIAL, then the top-most tile is reused. access defaults to #VIPS_ACCESS_RANDOM.

tile_height can be used to set the size of the strips that vips_linecache() uses. The default is 1 (a single scanline).

Normally, only a single thread at once is allowed to calculate tiles. If you set threaded to TRUE, vips_linecache() will allow many threads to calculate tiles at once and share the cache between them.
