to_pixels(
  binary(),
  ExPng.bit_depth(),
  ExPng.color_mode(),
  ExPng.maybe(ExPng.Chunks.Palette.t())
) :: [ExPng.Pixel.t(), ...]

Parses a de-filtered line of pixel data into a list of ExPng.Pixel structs based on the bit depth and color mode of the image. For images that use the ExPng.indexed/0 color mode, the image's ExPng.Chunks.Palette data is passed as an optional 4th argument.

In the code below, in the call to new/2, 0 represents the ExPng.filter_none/0 filter type. In the call to to_pixels/3, 1 is the bit depth of the line -- each piece of a pixel's data is encoded in a single bit -- and 0 is the reperesentation of the ExPng.grayscale/0 color mode.

iex> line = {0, <<21>>}
iex> ExPng.Image.Pixelation.to_pixels(line, 1, 0)
[
  ExPng.Pixel.black(), ExPng.Pixel.black(),
  ExPng.Pixel.black(), ExPng.Pixel.white(),
  ExPng.Pixel.black(), ExPng.Pixel.white(),
  ExPng.Pixel.black(), ExPng.Pixel.white()
]

Here, in the call to to_pixels/3, 8 shows that each part of a pixel's definition -- the red, green, and blue values -- is stored in 8 bits, or 1 byte, and the 2 is the code for the ExPng.truecolor/0 color mode.

iex> line = {0, <<100, 100, 200, 30, 42, 89>>}
iex> ExPng.Image.Pixelation.to_pixels(line, 8, 2)
[
  ExPng.Pixel.rgb(100, 100, 200),
  ExPng.Pixel.rgb(30, 42, 89)
]
