Re: [isugamedev-devel] image library

[Kevin M. <ke...@vr...>]

Alternatively isn't there a few general image libs already available?  
probably don't want to reinvent the wheel.  I wrote mine because at the 
time (3-4 years back) there wasn't a good sgi loader, and there certainly 
wasn't any good C++ loaders...  I don't care if we find something 
different than mine if it's better.

someone want to research the available libs, and make notes about how to 
load and access the image data?

for example my lib works like this:

Image image;
TgaImport imp;
imp.import( "filename.tga", image );


then to access the data:
void *data = image.data()
int width = image.width();
int height = image.height();
int channels = image.channels();
int bpp = image.bpp(); // bits per pixel

void* pixel = image.pixel( x, y ); // access an individual pixel

the Image class data format is what OpenGL needs passed to it.  I think I 
also used it with direct X once as well...
