[fpc-pascal] Loading PNG files as OpenGL textures

I’m coming from the Mac and I’d like to replace some code that loads .png files into OpenGL textures using Apple libraries that aren’t cross platform compatible. Does the FPC RTL contain any units for loading PNG files as bitmaps that I could extract the pixel data from and make textures for?

[fpc-pascal] Distinguishing between ARM and ARMHF at build time

I habitually use something like fpcV= 'Free Pascal v' + (*$I %FPCVERSION% *) ; fpcC= ' for ' + (*$I %FPCTARGETCPU% *) ; to generate "about box" text for programs, and designate the binary name using the Lazarus IDE like

[fpc-pascal] interface inheritance implementation

Not sure what subject line to use to summarize what I'm trying to do here, but that is kind of related :) So I would like to use an interface that inherits from another interface, and ... well rather than describe what I'm trying to do, I think code speaks best. type // here is the first

Re: [fpc-pascal] Loading PNG files as OpenGL textures

You can write an interface to the quartz libs and have them load or save a variety of image formats such as bmp, jpg, gif, and png. I've done this with OpenGL on OSX with Free Pascal and I look for the code and post it to git sometime, maybe even Today. http://codebot.org/baregame/

[fpc-pascal] STM32F407?

Hi, I've seen on the list that the STM32F429 has some support in fpc now! A couple of years ago I got a STM32F407 discovery board. Is the code for *29 compatible with *07? Regards, Andrew Haines ___ fpc-pascal maillist -

Re: [fpc-pascal] Loading PNG files as OpenGL textures

I tend to use OS core elements or well known open source libraries for a few reasons. 1) less code compiled and small programs 2) superior performance 3) more features Example: When loading hundreds of textures you bet the Apple Quartz graphics libs are faster and more reliable. Same goes to WIC

Re: [fpc-pascal] Loading PNG files as OpenGL textures

Okay, I looked at my Darwin sources which use minimal wrappers around the inbuilt Quartz classes to handle image loading, saving, and pixel data access. To load any image (png, jpg, bmp, gif, ect) you use a CGImageSourceRef object. >From file: ImageSource :=
