[Plib-devel] ssgImageLoader

[Dave M. <dp...@ef...>]

I would like to have textures with alpha so I can do
non-rectangular buttons mapped to panels.

Do either of the current formats BMP or SGI (bw) support that?

If not, the only way I can think of doing this cleanly is to
derive from ssgImageLoader and install my "new"
image loader into SSG.  That way I can allow my
new image loader to load PNG files and link with libpng.

Any alternatives?

//current image loader
ssgImageLoader defaultImageLoader;
ssgImageLoader* _ssgImageLoader = defaultImageLoader;
//and make some of ssgImageLoader functions virtual
