Re: [sdljava-users] Anyone using get/setPixelDataXX()?

[Ivan Z. G. <iva...@ya...>]

Hi Steph,

Sorry for the late reply I was travelling last week.

I think I had this in at one point but then removed it in favour of the 
byte buffers.  Also the get/setPixelDataXXXX methods are VERY 
inefficient due to the fact this results in copies between java and the 
native layer.

I don't see any harm in providing this methods though so they will be 
added.  Just be aware of the fact they are inefficient.

I will add them as soon as I can.

Thanks,
-Ivan/
