libpng decoder

libpng is the official PNG reference library. It supports almost all PNG features, is extensible, and has been extensively tested for over 28 years.

Detailed introduction: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

Install

sudo apt install libpng-dev

Add libpng to your project

find_package(PNG REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PNG_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${PNG_LIBRARIES})

Usage

Enable LV_USE_LIBPNG in lv_conf.h.

See the examples below. It should be noted that each image of this decoder needs to consume width x height x 4 bytes of RAM, and it needs to be combined with the Image caching feature to ensure that the memory usage is within a reasonable range. The decoded image is stored in RGBA pixel format.
