Detailed Description

A texture for colored images.

A texture can be loaded from an image, but also directly from a file/memory/stream. The necessary shortcuts are defined so that you don't need an image first for the most common cases. However, if you want to perform some modifications on the pixels before creating the final texture, you can load your file to a gf::Image, do whatever you need with the pixels, and then call the appropriate constructor.

Like gf::Image, gf::Texture can handle a unique internal representation of pixels, which is RGBA. This means that a pixel must be composed of 8 bits red, green, blue and alpha channels.

Usage example:

  // This example shows the most common use of gf::Texture:
  // drawing a sprite

  // Load a texture from a file
  gf::Texture texture("texture.png");

  // Assign it to a sprite
  gf::Sprite sprite;
  sprite.setTexture(texture);

  // Draw the textured sprite
  renderer.draw(sprite);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Texture() [1/6]

gf::Texture::Texture

(

)

Constructor.

No texture is created.

Texture() [2/6]

gf::Texture::Texture

(

Vector2i

size

)

Create the texture.

Parameters

size	Size of the texture

Texture() [3/6]

gf::Texture::Texture

(

const Image &

image

)

Load the texture from an image.

Parameters

image

Image to load into the texture

Texture() [4/6]

gf::Texture::Texture

(

const Path &

filename

)

Load the texture from a file on disk.

Parameters

filename

Path of the image file to load

Texture() [5/6]

gf::Texture::Texture

(

InputStream &

stream

)

Load the texture from a custom stream.

Parameters

stream

Source stream to read from

Texture() [6/6]

Load the texture from a file in memory.

Parameters

content

Content of the file data in memory

Member Function Documentation

copyToImage()

Image gf::Texture::copyToImage

(

)

const

Copy the texture pixels to an image.

This function performs a slow operation that downloads the texture's pixels from the graphics card and copies them to a new image, potentially applying transformations to pixels if necessary (texture may be padded or flipped).

Returns

An image containing the texture's pixels

update()

void gf::Texture::update

(

const Image &

image

)

Update the texture from an image.

Although the source image can be smaller than the texture, this function is usually used for updating the whole texture.

No additional check is performed on the size of the image, passing an image bigger than the texture will lead to an undefined behavior.

This function does nothing if the texture was not previously created.

Parameters

image

Image to copy to the texture
