[description]
[para]

This package provides commands to query and modify JPEG images. JPEG
stands for [term {Joint Photography Experts Group}] and is a standard
for the lossy compression of photographical images. It is specified at
[uri LINK_HERE].

[section COMMANDS]
[list_begin definitions]

[call [cmd ::jpeg::isJPEG] [arg file]]

Returns a boolean value indicating if [arg file] is a
JPEG image.

[call [cmd ::jpeg::imageInfo] [arg file]]

Returns a dictionary with keys [const version], [const units],
[const xdensity], [const ydensity], [const xthumb], and
[const ythumb]. The values are the associated properties of the JPEG
image in [arg file].

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a JPEG image.


[call [cmd ::jpeg::dimensions] [arg file]]

Returns the dimensions of the JPEG [arg file] as a list of the
horizontal and vertical pixel count.

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a JPEG image.


[call [cmd ::jpeg::getThumbnail] [arg file]]

This procedure will return the binary thumbnail image data, if a JPEG
thumbnail is included in [arg file], and the empty string
otherwise. Note that it is possible to include thumbnails in formats
other than JPEG although that is not common. The command finds
thumbnails that are encoded in either the JFXX or EXIF segments of the
JPEG information. If both are present the EXIF thumbnail will take precedence.

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a JPEG image.

[example {
    set fh [open thumbnail.jpg w+]
    fconfigure $fh -translation binary -encoding binary
    puts -nonewline $fh [::jpeg::getThumbnail photo.jpg]
    close $fh
}]

[call [cmd ::jpeg::getExif] [arg file] [opt [arg section]]]

[arg section] must be one of [const main] or [const thumbnail].
The default is [const main].

Returns a dictionary containing the EXIF information for the specified section.

For example:
[para]
[example {
    set exif {
	Make     Canon
	Model    {Canon DIGITAL IXUS}
	DateTime {2001:06:09 15:17:32}
    }
}]

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a JPEG image.

[call [cmd ::jpeg::formatExif] [arg keys]]

Takes a list of key-value pairs as returned by [cmd getExif] and formats
many of the values into a more human readable form. As few as one key-value
may be passed in, the entire exif is not required.

[example {
    foreach {key val} [::jpeg::formatExif [::jpeg::getExif photo.jpg]] {
        puts "$key: $val"
    }
}]
[para]
[example {
    array set exif [::jpeg::getExif photo.jpg]
    puts "max f-stop: [::jpeg::formatExif [list MaxAperture $exif(MaxAperture)]]
}]

[call [cmd ::jpeg::exifKeys]]

Returns a list of the EXIF keys which are currently understood.
There may be keys present in [cmd getExif] data that are not understood.
Those keys will appear in a 4 digit hexadecimal format.

[call [cmd ::jpeg::removeExif] [arg file]]

Removes the Exif data segment from the specified file and replaces
it with a standard JFIF segment.

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a JPEG image.

[call [cmd ::jpeg::stripJPEG] [arg file]]

Removes all metadata from the JPEG file leaving only
the image. This includes comments, EXIF segments, JFXX
segments, and application specific segments.

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a JPEG image.


[call [cmd ::jpeg::getComments] [arg file]]

Returns a list containing all the JPEG comments found in
the [arg file].

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a valid JPEG image.


[call [cmd ::jpeg::addComment] [arg file] [arg text]...]

Adds one or more plain [arg text] comments to the JPEG image
in [arg file].

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a valid JPEG image.


[call [cmd ::jpeg::removeComments] [arg file]]

Removes all comments from the file specified.

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a valid JPEG image.


[call [cmd ::jpeg::replaceComment] [arg file] [arg text]]

Replaces the first comment in the file with the new [arg text].
This is merely a shortcut for [cmd ::jpeg::removeComments]
and [cmd ::jpeg::addComment]

Throws an error if [arg file] is not a valid JPEG image.

[call [cmd ::jpeg::debug] [arg file]]

Prints everything we know about the given file in a nice format.

[call [cmd ::jpeg::markers] [arg channel]]

This is an internal helper command, we document it for use by advanced
users of the package. The argument [arg channel] is an open file
handle positioned at the start of the first marker (usually 2
bytes). The command returns a list with one element for each JFIF
marker found in the file. Each element consists of a list of the
marker name, its offset in the file, and its length. The offset points
to the beginning of the sections data, not the marker itself.  The
length is the length of the data from the offset listed to the start
of the next marker.
