Here is a patch to fltk 1.3 that add a static method for Fl_JPEG_Image and Fl_PNG_Image to encode from Fl_Image to JPEG and PNG format on memory.

I moving this to 1.4 temporarily so that it will not block the release of 1.3.0.

Also, somne comments:

- The PNG encoder needs to handle image depths of 2 also (i.e. greyscale with alpha) which it currently does not.

- The JPEG encoder needs to process images with alpha too, not just discard them.

- The name of the method, "encode" may not be appropriate - the fltk-style is more to call it "store" or "save" or something I guess. We should also make it explicit that this creates an in-memory version of the compressed image (which can then be written to file if needs be, of course.)

I suggest that we add code to save to a file as well. I'd call them "compress_to_file(const char *filename,...)" and "compress_to_memory(void*,...)" or "save_to_file" and "save_to_memory".

Seems reasonable.
The "save to file" versions would just wrap the in-memory versions?
Or be standalone functions?

Might be useful to include a background color for saving to JPEG - then the colors in the image can be composited with the background color...

Yes - seems like a good idea, if we are going to catch the alpha, we need *something* to blend it with.
I guess we'd default to white (or black?) if no colour were supplied?

Probably default to white...
