In case of --layers and --levels this only works if the input images
have a single level, otherwise --level has to be set. The internal
implementation would be too complex otherwise. As a consequence,
combining a set of 2D mipmapped images into a 3D mipmapped image means
one first has to combine particular 2D image levels to 3D levels and
then combine all 3D levels to a 3D mipmapped image, it can't be done in
a single step and it also can't be done by first combining levels and
then layers.
Minor but very important convenience feature, especially useful when
dealing with command-line apps. This now works:
magnum-imageconverter a.png a.jpg -c jpegQuality=0.75
The AnyImageConverter gets the jpegQuality option and then
automatically propagates it to the concrete plugin (which is either
JpegImageConverter or StbImageConverter), possibly warning in case the
target plugin doesn't recognize given option (i.e., doesn't list it in
its default configuration). Previously the user had to always specify a
concrete converter implementation using -C, which was rather annoying
and nonintuitive.
First and foremost I need to expand the interface to support 3D
image conversion. But the interface was not great to begin with, so this
takes the opportunity of an API break and does several things:
* The `export*()` names were rather strange and I don't even remember
why I chose that name (maybe because at first I wanted to have an
"exporter" API as a counterpart to importers?)
* In addition, there was no way to convert a compressed image to a
compressed image (or to an uncompressed image) and adding the two
missing variants would be a lot of combinations. So instead the new
convert() returns an ImageData, which can be both, and thus also
allows the converters to produce compressed or uncompressed output
based on some runtime setting, without having to implement two
(four?) separate functions for that and requiring users to know
beforehand what type of an image will be created.
* The ImageConverterFeature enum was named in a really strange way as
well, with ConvertCompressedImage meaning "convert to a compressed
image" while "ConvertCompressedData" instead meant "convert a
compressed image to a data". Utter chaos. It also all implied 2D and
on the other hand had a redundant `Image` in the name, so I went and
remade the whole thing. As mentioned above, two of the enums now mean
the same thing, and are both replaced with Convert2D.
* Finally, similarly as changes elsewhere, I took this opportunity to
get rid of std::string in the convertToFile() APIs.
There will be Flag::FlipY for images at some point, enabled by default
for compatibility with existing GL code, and so it makes sense to start
discouraging setFlags() as early as possible to avoid people resetting
the default by accident.
Also update the imageconverter, sceneconverter and shaderconverter utils
to use these instead of setFlags().
If it's ignored, a warning is printed to catch accidents, but not an
error since it should be possible to just append --info to existing
command line to see what the input is about.
At first I wanted to add --importers / --converters options, but that
didn't really work because the argument parser complained that
input/output is not set.
And removing the bundled std::optional implementation. This finally
makes this library compatible with C++17. Since this would be a huge
backwards-incompatible change that would make everyone angry, the
following had to be done in case both CORRADE_BUILD_DEPRECATED and
MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED is defined:
* Under C++11 and C++14, Containers::Optional / Containers::NullOpt is
aliased to std::optional / std::nullopt. This is no worse than the
state before, when we also provided these symbols.
* Under C++17, where standard <optional> header is available,
Containers::Optional provides implicit conversion to it. Only one-way
conversion is supported, as there was fortunately no Magnum API that
took std::optional via parameter, and there might be some corner
cases that this doesn't cover. The goal is to have all examples
compiling with the old API, at least.
* There's a new test especially for this, which checks that both the
C++11 and C++17 ways of doing things work as they should.
The typedef and conversion is marked as deprecated, so it will spit out
many warnings to push users to upgrade. I hope I can completely remove
this mess soon :/
