Detailed Description

Class which is able to create a image from a file.

If you want the Nirtcpp Engine be able to load textures of currently unsupported file formats (e.g .gif), then implement this and add your new Surface loader with IVideoDriver::addExternalImageLoader() to the engine.

Member Function Documentation

isALoadableFileExtension()

virtual bool nirt::video::IImageLoader::isALoadableFileExtension ( const io::path &  filename ) const

pure virtual

Check if the file might be loaded by this class.

Check is based on the file extension (e.g. ".tga")

Parameters

filename

Name of file to check.

Returns

True if file seems to be loadable.

isALoadableFileFormat()

virtual bool nirt::video::IImageLoader::isALoadableFileFormat ( io::IReadFile *  file ) const

pure virtual

Check if the file might be loaded by this class.

Check might look into the file.

Parameters

file	File handle to check.

Returns

True if file seems to be loadable.

loadImage()

virtual IImage * nirt::video::IImageLoader::loadImage ( io::IReadFile *  file ) const

pure virtual

Creates a surface from the file.

Parameters

file	File handle to check.

Returns

Pointer to newly created image, or 0 upon error.

loadImages()

virtual core::array< IImage * > nirt::video::IImageLoader::loadImages ( io::IReadFile *  file, E_TEXTURE_TYPE *  type  ) const

inlinevirtual

Creates a multiple surfaces from the file eg. whole cube map.

Parameters

file	File handle to check.
type	Pointer to E_TEXTURE_TYPE where a recommended type of the texture will be stored.

Returns

Array of pointers to newly created images.
