As each section is produced, <em class="parameter"><code>write_fn</code></em>
 is called.</p>

 is always called single-threaded (though not always from the same
thread), it's always given image

disc files. Things like <a class="link" href="VipsForeignSave.html#vips-jpegsave" title="vips_jpegsave ()"><code class="function">vips_jpegsave()</code></a>, for example, use this to write

<p>This operation renders <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
 in the background, making pixels available on
<em class="parameter"><code>out</code></em>
 as they are calculated. The <em class="parameter"><code>notify_fn</code></em>
 callback is run every time a new
set of pixels are available. Calculated pixels are kept in a cache with
tiles sized <em class="parameter"><code>tile_width</code></em>
 by <em class="parameter"><code>tile_height</code></em>
 pixels and with at most <em class="parameter"><code>max_tiles</code></em>
 
tiles.
If <em class="parameter"><code>max_tiles</code></em>
 is -1, the cache is of unlimited size (up to the maximum image
size).
The <em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em>
 image is a one-band uchar image and has 255 for pixels which are 
currently in cache and 0 for uncalculated pixels.</p>
<p>Only a single sink is calculated at any one time, though many may be
alive. Use <em class="parameter"><code>priority</code></em>
 to indicate which renders are more important:  
zero means normal
priority, negative numbers are low priority, positive numbers high
priority.</p>
<p>Calls to <a class="link" href="VipsRegion.html#vips-region-prepare" title="vips_region_prepare ()"><code class="function">vips_region_prepare()</code></a> on <em class="parameter"><code>out</code></em>
 return immediately and hold 
whatever is
currently in cache for that <a class="link" href="libvips-rect.html#VipsRect" title="VipsRect"><span class="type">VipsRect</span></a> (check <em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em>
 to see which parts of the
<a class="link" href="libvips-rect.html#VipsRect" title="VipsRect"><span class="type">VipsRect</span></a> are valid). Any pixels in the <a class="link" href="libvips-rect.html#VipsRect" title="VipsRect"><span class="type">VipsRect</span></a> which are not in 
cache are added
to a queue, and the <em class="parameter"><code>notify_fn</code></em>
 callback will trigger when those pixels are
ready.</p>
<p>The <em class="parameter"><code>notify_fn</code></em>
 callback is run from one of the background threads. In the 
callback
you need to somehow send a message to the main thread that the pixels are
ready. In a glib-based application, this is easily done with <code class="function">g_idle_add()</code>.</p>
<p>If <em class="parameter"><code>notify_fn</code></em>
 is <code class="literal">NULL</code> then <a class="link" href="libvips-generate.html#vips-sink-screen" title="vips_sink_screen ()"><code class="function">vips_sink_screen()</code></a> runs synchronously.
<a class="link" href="VipsRegion.html#vips-region-prepare" title="vips_region_prepare ()"><code class="function">vips_region_prepare()</code></a> on <em class="parameter"><code>out</code></em>

vips_image_pipeline_array (<em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="VipsImage.html" title="VipsImage"><span class="type">VipsImage</span></a> *image</code></em>,
                           <em class="parameter"><code><a class="link" href="VipsImage.html#VipsDemandStyle" title="enum VipsDemandStyle"><span class="type">VipsDemandStyle</span></a> hint</code></em>,

<p>Add an image to a pipeline. <em class="parameter"><code>image</code></em>
 depends on all of the images in <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
,
<em class="parameter"><code>image</code></em>
 prefers to supply pixels according to <em class="parameter"><code>hint</code></em>
.</p>
<p>Operations can set demand hints, that is, hints to the VIPS IO system about
the type of region geometry they work best with. For example,
operations which transform coordinates will usually work best with
<a class="link" href="VipsImage.html#VIPS-DEMAND-STYLE-SMALLTILE:CAPS"><code class="literal">VIPS_DEMAND_STYLE_SMALLTILE</code></a>, operations which work on local windows of 
pixels will like <a class="link" href="VipsImage.html#VIPS-DEMAND-STYLE-FATSTRIP:CAPS"><code class="literal">VIPS_DEMAND_STYLE_FATSTRIP</code></a>.</p>
<p>Header fields in <em class="parameter"><code>image</code></em>
 are set from the fields in <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
, with lower-numbered
images in <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
 taking priority. 
For example, if <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
[0] and <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
[1] both have an item
called "icc-profile", it's the profile attached to <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
[0] that will end up
on <em class="parameter"><code>image</code></em>
.
Image history is completely copied from all <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>
. <em class="parameter"><code>image</code></em>
 will have the history
of all the input images.
The array of input images can be empty, meaning <em class="parameter"><code>image</code></em>
 is at the start of a
pipeline.</p>
<p>VIPS uses the list of input images to build the tree of operations it needs
for the cache invalidation system. </p>
