Detailed Description

Base image handler class.

Keeps track of images which are loaded from disk via supplied ImageLoader. Derived classes are responsible for determinining how to perform the logic for "binding" of these resources for a given target (such as a given shading language).

Member Function Documentation

acquireImage()

ImagePtr acquireImage	(	const FilePath &	filePath,
		const Color4 &	defaultColor = Color4(0.0f)
	)

Acquire an image from the cache or file system.

If the image is not found in the cache, then each image loader will be applied in turn. If the image cannot be found by any loader, then a uniform image of the given default color will be returned.

Parameters

filePath	File path of the image.
defaultColor	Default color to use as a fallback for missing images.

Returns

On success, a shared pointer to the acquired image.

bindImage()

virtual bool bindImage ( ImagePtr  image, const ImageSamplingProperties &  samplingProperties  )

virtual

Bind an image for rendering.

Parameters

image	The image to bind.
samplingProperties	Sampling properties for the image.

Reimplemented in GLTextureHandler.

createRenderResources()

virtual bool createRenderResources ( ImagePtr  image, bool  generateMipMaps, bool  useAsRenderTarget = false  )

virtual

Create rendering resources for the given image.

Reimplemented in GLTextureHandler.

releaseRenderResources()

virtual void releaseRenderResources ( ImagePtr  image = nullptr )

virtual

Release rendering resources for the given image, or for all cached images if no image pointer is specified.

Reimplemented in GLTextureHandler.

saveImage()

bool saveImage	(	const FilePath &	filePath,
		ConstImagePtr	image,
		bool	verticalFlip = false
	)

Save image to disk.

This method must be implemented by derived classes. The first image loader which supports the file name extension will be used.

Parameters

filePath	File path to be written
image	The image to be saved
verticalFlip	Whether the image should be flipped in Y during save

Returns

if save succeeded

unbindImage()

virtual bool unbindImage ( ImagePtr  image )

virtual

Unbind an image, making it no longer active for rendering.

Parameters

image

The image to unbind.

Reimplemented in GLTextureHandler.
