Hi,
I was working with the pygame.transform.[smooth]scale(...) functions. For
smoothscale, I assume that the final parameter is provided for a similar
reason to pygame.transform.scale(...).
I wrote the following test code (adapted from my program), which works
fairly obviously:
#Does not work
light_surf = pygame.Surface(screen_size)
temp = pygame.image.load("data/light_falloff.png")
light_falloff = pygame.transform.smoothscale(temp,screen_size,light_surf)
pygame.image.save(light_falloff,"1.png")
#Works
light_surf = pygame.Surface(screen_size)
temp = pygame.image.load("data/light_falloff.png").convert() #<--- Note
only difference here
light_falloff = pygame.transform.smoothscale(temp,screen_size,light_surf)
pygame.image.save(light_falloff,"2.png")
In the first case, the returned surface is . . . cropped on one side, I
guess. It's strange. In any case, no exceptions are thrown; the result is
just incorrect. I assume this is because, as per the docs, the destination
surface must be the same format as the source surface. It would be nice to
have an exception thrown in that case.
Thanks,
Ian
