4 The latest version of this library is available from:
\r
5 http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
\r
7 This is a simple library to load images of various formats as SDL surfaces.
\r
8 This library supports BMP, PNM (PPM/PGM/PBM), XPM, LBM, PCX, GIF, JPEG, PNG,
\r
9 TGA, and TIFF formats.
\r
12 #include "SDL_image.h"
\r
14 SDL_Surface *IMG_Load(const char *file);
\r
16 SDL_Surface *IMG_Load_RW(SDL_RWops *src, int freesrc);
\r
18 SDL_Surface *IMG_LoadTyped_RW(SDL_RWops *src, int freesrc, char *type);
\r
20 where type is a string specifying the format (i.e. "PNG" or "pcx").
\r
21 Note that IMG_Load_RW cannot load TGA images.
\r
23 To create a surface from an XPM image included in C source, use:
\r
25 SDL_Surface *IMG_ReadXPMFromArray(char **xpm);
\r
27 An example program 'showimage' is included, with source in showimage.c
\r
29 JPEG support requires the JPEG library: http://www.ijg.org/
\r
30 PNG support requires the PNG library: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
\r
31 and the Zlib library: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
\r
32 TIFF support requires the TIFF library: ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/
\r
34 If you have these libraries installed in non-standard places, you can
\r
35 try adding those paths to the configure script, e.g.
\r
36 sh ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/somewhere/include" LDFLAGS="-L/somewhere/lib"
\r
37 If this works, you may need to add /somewhere/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
\r
38 so shared library loading works correctly.
