It is a valid usecase, e.g. when saving a screenshot in an oneliner:
pngImageConverter->exportToFile(defaultFramebuffer.read(
defaultFramebuffer.viewport(), {PixelFormat::RGB,
PixelType::UnsignedByte}), "screenshot.png");
In the particular case of AnyImageConverter the function needs to access
manager and load/instantiate plugin using it, which is non-const
operation. More generally, it puts unnecessary restrictions on what the
plugin can and cannot do.
Provide a way to convert compressed images to data/file (i.e. saving
DXT5-compressed image data to DDS file), improve feature flags so that
the plugin can properly advertise what's supported (for example some
plugin may just be able to compress RGBA to DXT5, but not to save that to
DDS file).
This is backwards-incompatible API breakage (renamed enum value), but
because the original API wasn't in any official release yet, I'm not
doing any deprecation and backwards compatibility.
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.
Removed *Image::dataSize() and added *Image::dataProperties(), which
returns all properties separately for better introspection. This function
is now just an convenience alias to PixelStorage::dataProperties(), which
takes into account proper alignment and all other storage properties.
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).
I hoped to use them to store pixel pack/unpack configuration, but I have
better solution now.
The AbstractImage.h header is now removed along with the base classes,
I'm not expecting that anyone used these empty classes, so I'm not doing
anything to preserve backwards compatibility.
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.
With pixel pack/unpack support it will be possible to create views onto
sub-images, renamed the class to reflect that.
The old Magnum/ImageReference.h and ImageReference types are now aliases
to ImageView.h and ImageView types, are marked as deprecated and will be
removed in future release.
When pixel pack/unpack parameter support is done, this class will
contain only stuff that's common to both compressed and uncompressed
images. Currently that's nothing, so the class is empty.
Note the hilarious bug in both GCC and Clang: if you remove the `_dummy`
member, both of them start complaining about weird completely unrelated
stuff.
`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.
Forward declarations of templated types don't have named template
parameters and thus Doxygen (sometimes) used these for documentation. It
then looked like this:
Magnum::Math::RectangularMatrix<std::size_t, std::size_t, class>
which isn't helpful at all. After the change it looks like this (much
better):
Magnum::Math::RectangularMatrix<cols, rows, T>
