Before I went off and started my own D image library, I was wondering if anyone knows of any such effort already underway wehre I could lend a hand. I have looked in www.dsource.org and in google of course, but I haven't found anything at all. Loading PNG's is 90% of my intended intial functionality :( I can't find a D libpng port anywhere :( I don't know enough about ZLib yet OpenGL support is the other 10% :) OpenGL already works with D Anyhoo, if there is anyone who knows of an image loading project, or knows enough about image loading they would like to start one, let me know, cause I think having a native image library, or a good port of an image library, could really help allot of developers out.

Hi, Trevor, Here is the link: http://www.terrainformatica.com/harmonia/imageio.d.zip Harmonia is using this imageio.lib for loading PNG and JPEG images. There is one simple imageio.d (it is also attached) file and build.cmd which will build imageio.lib using DigitalMars C/C++ compiler on Windows, on other platforms you may use make utility with makefile provided. (EncodeImage is not implemented yet.) ----------------------- Internally Harmonia uses Win32 DIB API on Windows for dealing with images. So ::CreateDIBSection and DecodeImage is everything you need. class harmonia.gx.images.Image wrapps all this into simple object. It also supports AlphaBlend rendering (implemented in D).

Hello, I was wondering, what do you use to set up your OpenGL context? If it's SDL, then why not use SDL_image to load the image and SDL_ConvertSurface to convert the surface to a suitable OpenGL-friendly format? I've attached the SDL and OpenGL code I use to do this to this message. sdl.d is a thin wrapper around SDL_Surface and TTF_Font. opengl.d is a thin wrapper around OpenGL textures. Use/delete as you like :-) Probably the thing to keep in mind when converting surfaces to GL_RGB or GL_RGBA formats is the byte ordering, and that the surface probably needs to be flipped vertically for OpenGL. PeterI might end up making a native D image library though, cause the DevIL route, alhtough more robust than what I will initially be able to produce, is also not only complex to imliment, but also has many features I don't need. Thanks again for the tip, now I can get soemthing going for now, even if I make my own image lib later.

Tom created it for Derelict and sent it to me to commit, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I am toying with adding bindings for libpng and libjpeg, but I'm rather feeling it would be a better idea to port both to D instead of binding. There's so many different versions out there compiled with so many different preprocessor options, the only reliable way to use either would be to ship a specific version with your app. So to me, porting makes more sense.

Not yet at least :) It is a seperate idependent package thus it could be used everywhere (not only in Harmonia currently) As an example of possible OO generic image approach you may consider Harmonia way: ------------------------------- Harmonia simple image object: class Image: ISurface, NativeImage /*on Win32 it is a DIB wrapper*/ { public: this( size sz , bool alpha ); // clear rgb or rgba image static Image create( ubyte[] bytes /*png,jpg,etc. encoded bytes*/); static Image loadFromURL(wchar[] uri); static Image load( wchar[] path ); // from local file system static Image loadFromResource( wchar[] name ); size dimension() { return nativeDimension(); } uint bytesPerPixel( ) { return nativeBytesPerPixel(); } } As Image is a ISurface then you can draw/copy/manipulate it using Graphics object: void Foo(Image pic) { auto Graphics gfx = new Graphics(pic); gfx.drawChars(point(10,10), "Hello world"); gfx.fillRect(rect rc, color c); gfx.copy(point dst , rect src); gfx.stretch(rect dst, rect src); // etc. } "Stewart Gordon" <smjg_1998 yahoo.com> wrote in message news:d5te8t$1aig$1 digitaldaemon.com...Tom S wrote: <snip>After that you're ready to roll ;) The docs are here: http://openil.sourceforge.net/I've just been trying to find my way thorough it.
