//IconFamily depends heavily upon Carbon calls and thus will only work in Mac OS X

#import <Carbon/Carbon.h>

// This class is a Cocoa/Objective-C wrapper for the Mac OS X Carbon API's
// "icon family" data type.  Its main purpose is to enable Cocoa applications
// to easily create custom file icons from NSImage instances, and thus take
// advantage of Mac OS X's new 128x128 RGBA "thumbnail" icon format to provide
// richly detailed thumbnail previews of the files' contents.
//
// Using IconFamily, this becomes as simple as:
//
//      id iconFamily = [IconFamily iconFamilyWithThumbnailsOfImage:anImage];
//      [iconFamily setAsCustomIconForFile:anExistingFile];
//
// You can also write an icon family to an .icns file using the -writeToFile:
// method.

@interface IconFamily : NSObject
{
    IconFamilyHandle hIconFamily;
}

// Convenience methods.  These use the corresponding -init methods to return
// an autoreleased IconFamily instance.
//
// NOTE: +iconFamily relies on -init, which is currently broken (see -init).

//
// NOTE: This method is broken until we figure out how to create a valid new

//       load an existing .icns file that you can use as a starting point, and
//       use -setIconFamilyElement:fromBitmapImageRep: to replace its

- initWithSystemIcon:(int)fourByteCode;

// Initializes an IconFamily by creating its elements from a resampled

// of antialiasing to be used in resampling the image, by passing in one of
// the NSImageInterpolation... constants that are defined in
// NSGraphicsContext.h.  The first form of this initializer simply calls the
// second form with imageInterpolation set to NSImageInterpolationHigh, which
// produces highly smoothed thumbnails.

// family element types listed below, and the format of the "bitmapImageRep"
// must match the corresponding requirements specified below.  Regardless of

// per sample.

//  kLarge32BitData         32 x  32   32-bit RGBA, 32-bit RGB, or 24-bit RGB

// taken from the image's alpha channel.
//
// NOTE: Setting an IconFamily's kLarge1BitMask seems to damage the IconFamily
//       for some as yet unknown reason.  (If you then assign the icon family
//       as a file's custom icon using -setAsCustomIconForFile:, the custom
//       icon doesn't appear for the file in the Finder.)  However, both
//       custom icon display and mouse-click hit-testing in the Finder seem to
//       work fine when we only set the other four elements (thus keeping the
//       existing kLarge1BitMask from the valid icon family from which we
//       initialized the IconFamily via -initWithContentsOfFile:, since
//       IconFamily's -init method is currently broken...), so it seems safe
//       to just leave the kLarge1BitMask alone.

// in its alpha channel, or a fully opaque alpha channel if the icon family
