JPEG(3)

🎀 Tk::JPEG 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the JPEG(3) page from the perl/Tk Documentation hive 💖. This is the manual for Tk::JPEG, and it is literally the JPEG loader for Tk::Photo — iconic behavior only, no cap ✨.

🌸 NAME 🌸

Tk::JPEG - JPEG loader for Tk::Photo 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Tk;
use Tk::JPEG;

my $image = $widget->Photo('-format' => 'jpeg', -file => 'something.jpg');

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this is an extension for Tk, and what it does is supply a JPEG format loader for the Photo image type. That’s the whole vibe: you got a JPEG, you want it in a Photo, and this is the little connector fairy making it happen 🧚.

JPEG access happens via release 5 of the The Independent JPEG Group's (IJG) free JPEG software. yes, the “The” is living there rent-free in the original, and we respect the lore 💀.

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

This extension works for Tk800.015 and later, and it’s by default bundled with Perl/Tk since Tk804. glow-up timeline, fr fr ⭐.
