Magnum::Trade::StbImageConverter class

Image converter plugin using stb_image_write.

Contents

Creates files in one of the following formats:

  • Windows Bitmap (*.bmp) if the plugin was loaded as StbBmpImageConverter / BmpImageConverter or Format::Bmp was passed to the constructor
  • Radiance HDR (*.hdr) if the plugin was loaded as StbHdrImageConverter / HdrImageConverter or Format::Hdr was passed to the constructor
  • Portable Network Graphics (*.png) if the plugin was loaded as StbPngImageConverter / PngImageConverter or Format::Png was passed to the constructor
  • Truevision TGA (*.tga, *.vda, *.icb, *.vst) if the plugin was loaded as StbTgaImageConverter / TgaImageConverter or Format::Tga was passed to the constructor

For BMP, PNG and TGA output the images must have format PixelFormat::R8Unorm, PixelFormat::RG8Unorm, PixelFormat::RGB8Unorm or PixelFormat::RGBA8Unorm. For HDR the images must have format PixelFormat::R32F, PixelFormat::RG32F, PixelFormat::RGB32F or PixelFormat::RGBA32F. The image data must be tightly packed (except for PNG output, which is able to handle custom row strides).

This plugin depends on the Trade library and is built if WITH_STBIMAGECONVERTER is enabled when building Magnum Plugins. To use as a dynamic plugin, you need to load one of the "StbBmpImageConverter", "StbHdrImageConverter", "StbPngImageConverter", "StbTgaImageConverter" plugins from MAGNUM_PLUGINS_IMAGECONVERTER_DIR. If you would load the plugin as just "StbImageConverter", it won't be able to guess the desired output format. To use as a static plugin or as a dependency of another plugin with CMake, you need to request the StbImageConverter component of the MagnumPlugins package and link to the MagnumPlugins::StbImageConverter target.

Besides StbBmpImageConverter, StbHdrImageConverter, StbPngImageConverter and StbTgaImageConverter aliases this plugin provides also BmpImageConverter, HdrImageConverter, PngImageConverter and TgaImageConverter plugins, but note that this plugin may generate slightly larger files and the performance might be worse than when using plugins dedicated for given format.
