Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to programmatically write a series of UIImages into an APNG, similar to what the code below does for GIFs (credit: https://github.com/AFathi/ARVideoKit/tree/swift_5). I've tried implementing a similar solution but it doesn't seem to work. My code is included below
I've also done a lot of searching and have found lots of code for displaying APNGs, but have had no luck with code for writing them.
Any hints or pointers would be appreciated.
func generate(gif images: [UIImage], with delay: Float, loop count: Int = 0, _ finished: ((_ status: Bool, _ path: URL?) -> Void)? = nil) {
currentGIFPath = newGIFPath
gifQueue.async {
let gifSettings = [kCGImagePropertyGIFDictionary as String : [kCGImagePropertyGIFLoopCount as String : count]]
let imageSettings = [kCGImagePropertyGIFDictionary as String : [kCGImagePropertyGIFDelayTime as String : delay]]
guard let path = self.currentGIFPath else { return }
guard let destination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL(path as CFURL, __UTTypeGIF as! CFString, images.count, nil)
else { finished?(false, nil); return }
//logAR.message("\(destination)")
CGImageDestinationSetProperties(destination, gifSettings as CFDictionary)
for image in images {
if let imageRef = image.cgImage {
CGImageDestinationAddImage(destination, imageRef, imageSettings as CFDictionary)
}
}
if !CGImageDestinationFinalize(destination) {
finished?(false, nil); return
} else {
finished?(true, path)
}
}
}
My adaptation of the above code for APNGs (doesn't work; outputs empty file):
func generateAPNG(images: [UIImage], delay: Float, count: Int = 0) {
let apngSettings = [kCGImagePropertyPNGDictionary as String : [kCGImagePropertyAPNGLoopCount as String : count]]
let imageSettings = [kCGImagePropertyPNGDictionary as String : [kCGImagePropertyAPNGDelayTime as String : delay]]
guard let destination = CGImageDestinationCreateWithURL(outputURL as CFURL, UTType.png.identifier as CFString, images.count, nil)
else { fatalError("Failed") }
CGImageDestinationSetProperties(destination, apngSettings as CFDictionary)
for image in images {
if let imageRef = image.cgImage {
CGImageDestinationAddImage(destination, imageRef, imageSettings as CFDictionary)
}
}
}
