## Detailed Description

Makes it easy to quickly draw scaled views of the waveform shape of an audio file.

To use this class, just create an AudioThumbNail class for the file you want to draw, call setSource to tell it which file or resource to use, then call drawChannel() to draw it.

The class will asynchronously scan the wavefile to create its scaled-down view, so you should make your UI repaint itself as this data comes in. To do this, the AudioThumbnail is a ChangeBroadcaster, and will broadcast a message when its listeners should repaint themselves.

The thumbnail stores an internal low-res version of the wave data, and this can be loaded and saved to avoid having to scan the file again.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## AudioThumbnail()

AudioThumbnail::AudioThumbnail | ( | int | sourceSamplesPerThumbnailSample,
|  | AudioFormatManager & | formatManagerToUse,
|  | AudioThumbnailCache & | cacheToUse
| ) |  |

Creates an audio thumbnail.

Parameters

  sourceSamplesPerThumbnailSample | when creating a stored, low-res version of the audio data, this is the scale at which it should be done. (This number is the number of original samples that will be averaged for each low-res sample)
  formatManagerToUse | the audio format manager that is used to open the file
  cacheToUse | an instance of an AudioThumbnailCache - this provides a background thread and storage that is used to by the thumbnail, and the cache object can be shared between multiple thumbnails

## ~AudioThumbnail()

AudioThumbnail::~AudioThumbnail | ( |  | ) |

override

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## clear()

void AudioThumbnail::clear | ( |  | ) |

override virtual

Clears and resets the thumbnail.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## setSource()

bool AudioThumbnail::setSource | ( | InputSource * | newSource | ) |

override virtual

Specifies the file or stream that contains the audio file.

For a file, just call

setSource (new FileInputSource (file))

You can pass a nullptr in here to clear the thumbnail. The source that is passed in will be deleted by this object when it is no longer needed.

Returns
  true if the source could be opened as a valid audio file, false if this failed for some reason.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## setReader()

void AudioThumbnail::setReader | ( | AudioFormatReader * | newReader,
|  | int64 | hashCode
| ) |  |

override virtual

Gives the thumbnail an AudioFormatReader to use directly.

This will start parsing the audio in a background thread (unless the hash code can be looked-up successfully in the thumbnail cache). Note that the reader object will be held by the thumbnail and deleted later when no longer needed. The thumbnail will actually keep hold of this reader until you clear the thumbnail or change the input source, so the file will be held open for all this time. If you don't want the thumbnail to keep a file handle open continuously, you should use the setSource() method instead, which will only open the file when it needs to.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## reset()

void AudioThumbnail::reset | ( | int | numChannels,
|  | double | sampleRate,
|  | int64 | totalSamplesInSource = `0`
| ) |  |

override virtual

Resets the thumbnail, ready for adding data with the specified format.

If you're going to generate a thumbnail yourself, call this before using addBlock() to add the data.

Implements AudioFormatWriter::ThreadedWriter::IncomingDataReceiver.

## addBlock()

void AudioThumbnail::addBlock | ( | int64 | sampleNumberInSource,
|  | const AudioBuffer< float > & | newData,
|  | int | startOffsetInBuffer,
|  | int | numSamples
| ) |  |

override virtual

Adds a block of level data to the thumbnail.

Call reset() before using this, to tell the thumbnail about the data format.

Implements AudioFormatWriter::ThreadedWriter::IncomingDataReceiver.

## loadFrom()

bool AudioThumbnail::loadFrom | ( | InputStream & | input | ) |

override virtual

Reloads the low res thumbnail data from an input stream.

This is not an audio file stream! It takes a stream of thumbnail data that would previously have been created by the saveTo() method.

See also
  saveTo

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## saveTo()

void AudioThumbnail::saveTo | ( | OutputStream & | output | ) | const

override virtual

Saves the low res thumbnail data to an output stream.

The data that is written can later be reloaded using loadFrom().

See also
  loadFrom

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## getNumChannels()

int AudioThumbnail::getNumChannels | ( |  | ) | const

override virtual noexcept

Returns the number of channels in the file.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## getTotalLength()

double AudioThumbnail::getTotalLength | ( |  | ) | const

override virtual noexcept

Returns the length of the audio file, in seconds.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## drawChannel()

void AudioThumbnail::drawChannel | ( | Graphics & | g,
|  | const Rectangle< int > & | area,
|  | double | startTimeSeconds,
|  | double | endTimeSeconds,
|  | int | channelNum,
|  | float | verticalZoomFactor
| ) |  |

override virtual

Draws the waveform for a channel.

The waveform will be drawn within the specified rectangle, where startTime and endTime specify the times within the audio file that should be positioned at the left and right edges of the rectangle.

The waveform will be scaled vertically so that a full-volume sample will fill the rectangle vertically, but you can also specify an extra vertical scale factor with the verticalZoomFactor parameter.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## drawChannels()

void AudioThumbnail::drawChannels | ( | Graphics & | g,
|  | const Rectangle< int > & | area,
|  | double | startTimeSeconds,
|  | double | endTimeSeconds,
|  | float | verticalZoomFactor
| ) |  |

override virtual

Draws the waveforms for all channels in the thumbnail.

This will call drawChannel() to render each of the thumbnail's channels, stacked above each other within the specified area.

See also
  drawChannel

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## isFullyLoaded()

bool AudioThumbnail::isFullyLoaded | ( |  | ) | const

override virtual noexcept

Returns true if the low res preview is fully generated.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## getProportionComplete()

double AudioThumbnail::getProportionComplete | ( |  | ) | const

noexcept

Returns a value between 0 and 1 to indicate the progress towards loading the entire file.

## getNumSamplesFinished()

int64 AudioThumbnail::getNumSamplesFinished | ( |  | ) | const

override virtual noexcept

Returns the number of samples that have been set in the thumbnail.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## getApproximatePeak()

float AudioThumbnail::getApproximatePeak | ( |  | ) | const

override virtual

Returns the highest level in the thumbnail.

Note that because the thumb only stores low-resolution data, this isn't an accurate representation of the highest value, it's only a rough approximation.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## getApproximateMinMax()

void AudioThumbnail::getApproximateMinMax | ( | double | startTime,
|  | double | endTime,
|  | int | channelIndex,
|  | float & | minValue,
|  | float & | maxValue
| ) |  | const

override virtual noexcept

Reads the approximate min and max levels from a section of the thumbnail.

The lowest and highest samples are returned in minValue and maxValue, but obviously because the thumb only stores low-resolution data, these numbers will only be a rough approximation of the true values.

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.

## getHashCode()

int64 AudioThumbnail::getHashCode | ( |  | ) | const

override virtual

Returns the hash code that was set by setSource() or setReader().

Implements AudioThumbnailBase.
