Imagine

GPU accelerated, blisteringly fast, easy-to-use, layer based image editing library using OpenGL ES 2.0 for Android with support for Photoshop style blend modes.

Features

• Multiple consecutive customizable layers of processing.
• Photoshop style blending mode for each layer to merge a layer atop the previous.
• Allows alpha blending between layers.
• Easy to implement abstract interface ImagineLayer which must provide the following:
  • source: String: GLSL code snippet implementing a vec4 process(vec4 color) function.
  • intensity: Float: Mixing factor of pixel from this and the previous layer. Must lie between 0.0f to 1.0f.
  • blendMode: ImagineBlendMode: How to blend the current layer atop the previous layer.
• 2 purposeful modes of operation:
  • preview: Scaled down image for low memory footprint and faster viewport previews, invoked by ImagineEngine.updatePreview().
  • export: Full resolution mode for extracting an edited Bitmap, invoked by ImagineEngine.exportBitmap().

Demo

A beautiful Material You themed simple image editor is provided in the editor module. You can refer to the source code of the same and maybe also use it.

Documentation

The library code is extensively documented. Additionally, check out the story style blog Imagine: A story of the evergreen OpenGL on Android that details the conception of this library!

Installation

In project level build.gradle (Older Gradle versions)

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

In settings.gradle (Newer Gradle versions)

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

In module level build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.github.forkachild:imagine:1.1.0'
}

Usage

1. Add ImagineView into your layout<com.suhel.imagine.core.ImagineView android:id=”@+id/imagineView” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”match_parent” />
2. Configure ImagineEngineprivate lateinit var imagineView: ImagineView private lateinit var imagineEngine: ImagineEngine override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) imagineView = findViewById(R.id.imagineView) imagineEngine = ImagineEngine(imagineView) // Stored in a WeakReference internally }
3. Load an image using an implementation of ImageProvider interfaceimagineEngine.imageProvider = UriImageProvider(context, uri) // From ContentResolver Uri imagineEngine.imageProvider = ResImageProvider(context, resId) // Or from a drawable res imagineEngine.imageProvider = … // Or your custom ImageProvider implementation
4. Create one or more ImagineLayer objects, writing a vec4 process(vec4 color) GLSL function for eachclass InvertGreenLayer: ImagineLayer { // The fragment shader source for this layer. The texture is pre-sampled // and the color is passed to this function. The function signature must // be accurate! override val source: String = “”” vec4 process(vec4 color) { return vec4(color.r, 1.0 – color.g, color.b, color.a); // The alpha channel is important! } “””.trimIndent() // Configures how each layer (after processing) will be blended with the previous // layer in the chain override val blendMode: ImagineBlendMode = ImagineBlendMode.Normal // Configures the intensity of application of the pixel color output from this layer override val intensity: Float = 1.0f override fun create(program: ImagineShader.Program) { // Optional override to extract your custom uniforms from the shader program } override fun bind(program: ImagineShader.Program) { // Optional override to bind your custom uniforms during processing } }
5. Assign a List<ImagineLayer> to ImagineEngineimagineEngine.layers = listOf( InvertGreenLayer(), … )
6. Update the viewport previewimagineEngine.updatePreview()
7. (Optional) Extract a full resolution processed bitmapimagineEngine.onBitmap = { bitmap -> // Do something with the bitmap and then recycle it } imagineEngine.exportBitmap()

TODO

• Photoshop style blend mode support for each ImagineLayer
• Custom texture sampling in ImagineLayer fragment shader code
• Ability to conditionally render an ImagineLayer
• Viewport background color customisation
