Makes it far easier to detect pixel storage misconfigurations and
improperly sized data arrays. Data owning classes (Image,
Trade::ImageData) accept Containers::Array<char> while wrappers
(ImageView, BufferImage) accept Containers::ArrayView<const void>.
ImageView reinterprets the passed array as const char to enable pointer
arithmetic on the data.
The old way (constructor/setData() call accepting void*) is now marked as
deprecated and will be removed in some future release. Because decay of
fixed-size arrays to void* is preferred to calling Containers::ArrayView
constructor, there are two more overloads to have proper handling of
const T(&)[n] and std::nullptr_t arguments.
Currently the TgaImporter and TgaImageConverter fail on images with row
length not aligned to 4, will fix that in followup commits.
Yeah, sorry, I know, the enums are renamed for second or third time in a
row, first they were Image::Format, then ImageFormat, then ColorFormat
and now PixelFormat. But this time it's final and last time they are
renamed and now everything is finally consistent:
* ColorFormat::DepthComponent -- depth is not a color, thus
PixelFormat::DepthComponent makes a lot more sense.
* There will be PixelStorage classes, which will be stored in images
alonside PixelFormat/PixelType enums, making everything nicely
aligned.
* The GL documentation about glTexImage2D() etc. denotes the <format>
and <type> parameters as format and type of *pixel* data, so now we
are _finally_ consistent with the official naming.
I wonder why did I not choose PixelFormat originally. Anyway, the old
<Magnum/ColorFormat.h> header, ColorFormat, ColorType and
CompressedColorFormat types are now aliases to the new ones, are marked
as deprecated and will be removed in some future release (as always, I'm
waiting at least six months before removing the deprecated
functionality).
Added (now empty) AbstractCompressedImage class that inherits (now also
empty) AbstractImage class.
Added CompressedBufferImage, CompressedImage and CompressedImageView
classes, which are just copies of BufferImage, Image and ImageView
classes with format/type pair replaced by just format, but they
additionally need data size parameter.
Because of different use cases in Trade, the Trade::ImageData class now
handles both uncompressed and compressed format, checking the API
usage with runtime assertions. The reason for this is that a material
could just reference a image file by ID and we need to be able to
extract image of that ID without prior knowledge whether it is
compressed or not. Requiring prior knowledge of image format from the
user would make both the API and the usage far more complicated than
having Trade::ImageData which handles both cases.
On the other hand, the Image*/CompressedImage* distinction is done for
easier usage and type-safe APIs in all other cases.
`char*` is now the default type for byte arrays. Results in shorter
code, less annoyances and more convenient testing. As is the case with
Corrade, I'm not doing any compatibility/deprecation layer, as most of
these functions is not widely used anyway.
Everything what was in src/ is now in src/Corrade, everything from
src/Plugins is now in src/MagnumPlugins, everything from external/ is in
src/MagnumExternal. Added new CMakeLists.txt file and updated the other
ones for the moves, no other change was made. If MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED
is set, everything compiles and installs like previously except for the
plugins, which are now in MagnumPlugins and not in Magnum/Plugins.
Advantages:
* The enums were large (600-800 lines) and they polluted the header,
now they are in separate files (except for BufferTexture, which has
the enum small enough to be left in the same file).
* Image classes now don't need to include OpenGL headers, as they were
needed only for the enum values. With advantage of C++11's forward
enum declarations there is no need to include the enum headers
anywhere in implementation, only when particular values are needed.
* The values are now less verbose:
AbstractTexture::InternalFormat::RGB8 // before
TextureFormat::RGB8 // now
* Resolved another "trivial choice" problem (thanks @JanDupal for
introducing this term to me): how to specify the format if there are
ten ways to do it (some being massively confusing):
Image2D::Format f = AbstractImage::Format::RGB; // too long...
Image2D::Format f = Image3D::Format::RGBA; // why 3D? this works?
Image2D::Format f = BufferImage1D::Format::RGBA; // wat?
It is even worse (and more verbose) with textures:
Texture2D::InternalFormat f =
CubeMapTextureArray::InternalFormat::RGB8; // this is allowed?
To have consistent naming this change was done also with
BufferTexture::InternalFormat (now BufferTextureFormat), although there
were no trivial choice issues and the enum isn't too large. But at least
it is now less typing.
Thanks to DimensionTraits it is now possible to e.g. conveniently access
components by name or pass size as combination of vector and scalar:
GLsizei width = image.size().x();
image.setData({xy, 1}, ...);
Instead of previous inconvenient ways:
GLsizei width = image.size()[0];
Math::Vector2<GLsizei> size(xy, 1);
image.setData(size, ...);
Not using the specialized type for internal functions and storage, as it
wouldn't cause any other improvements. This way it is virtually possible
to forward-declare the specialized types without including them in the
headers.
SizeTraits class provides suitable types for given data size at compile
time, SizeBasedCall can call suitable templated overload based on given
data size at runtime.
Also added meta classes Pow and Log for computing powers and logarithms
at compile time, usable mainly in conjunction with SizeTraits. Their
implementation is checked at compile-time using static_cast().
