Pixel data

Note that a special image/x-pixel MIME type is supported. The binary consists of the following consecutive parts:

  • height - 32 bits (unsigned big-endian integer)
  • width - 32 bits (unsigned big-endian integer)
  • channels - 8 bits (unsigned integer)
  • data - pixel data in HWC order

Pixel data consists of 8-bit unsigned integers. The number of channels can be either: 1 (grayscale), 2 (grayscale + alpha), 3 (RGB), or 4 (RGB + alpha).
