Source files for images in Magnum documentation

Compile and install Magnum with Sdl2Application, windowless application for your platform and magnum-distancefieldconverter utility and any PngImporter and PngImageConverter plugins from Magnum Plugins.

Create build dir, point CMake to this directory and compile the executables:

mkdir build-doc
cd build-doc
cmake ../doc/generated
cmake --build .

Primitive images

Generated by the primitives executable. Run it in this directory, the output is put into doc/ directory. Apply pngcrush to them for smaller file sizes:

for f in $(ls primitives-*.png); do pngcrush -ow $f; done

Shader images

Generated by the shaders executable. Must be run in this directory, the output is put into doc/ directory. The executable requires two textures:

• vector.png, generated as full-page PNG output at 96 DPI from vector.svg, converted to pure grayscale using imagemagick:

  mogrify -flatten -background '#ffffff' -colorspace gray vector.png
  

• vector-distancefield.png, generated as full-page PNG output at 384 DPI (1024x1024) to vector-src.png and then processed through magnum-distancefieldconverter

  magnum-distancefieldconverter --importer PngImporter --converter PngImageConverter --output-size "64 64" --radius 16 vector-src.png vector-distancefield.png
  

Apply pngcrush to the result for smaller file sizes:

for f in $(ls shaders-*.png); do pngcrush -ow $f; done

Distance field vector images

Similarly as above, just with slightly different parameters. The distancefield-src.png is generated as full-page PNG output at 192 DPI (512x512) from vector.svg, the distancefield-dst.png is then converted with

magnum-distancefieldconverter distancefield-src.png distancefield-dst.png --output-size "128 128" --radius 24

This is chosen so it corresponds to the TextureTools::DistanceFieldGL doc snippet where it takes a 256x256 image and converts it to 64x64 with a radius 12, but is scaled twice to look better on HiDPI displays.
