Date: 2008/8/26<br>Subject: Implementing textures functions of d3dx using an extern library.<br>To: <a href="mailto:wine-devel@winehq.org">wine-devel@winehq.org</a><br><br><br><div dir="ltr">D3DX supports a wide range of file types for textures. Instead of rewriting everything from scratch, the best would certainly be to use some image processing library to handle them. As a bonus, this would allow lighter code.<br>
<br>Some of those library are :<br>SDL_Image : easy to use, but loading an image using a SDL_Surface is quite heavy. Moreover, the files supported are not enough for d3dx.<br>MagickWand/MagickCore, the libraries on which imagemagick is based : Hard to use, and very heavy. Supports every format thet d3dx supports.<br>
FreeImage : Quite easy to use, the only files not supported are DIB and PFM... Not so widely represented. I had to recompile it, as packages for it are not available for 32 bits. (I use a 64 bits ubuntu system).<br><br>Here is an implementation of D3DXGetImageInfoFromFileInMemory using FreeImage.<br>
