STBImage
Very naive bindings for stb_image.h
. Implements only
stbi_set_flip_vertically_on_load
and stb_load
since these are the
2 functions I need to load an image as a texture in OpenGL.
The reason I made this instead of using
stb-image is because stb-image didn't
implement stbi_set_flip_vertically_on_load
, as far as I can tell, which is
useful/necessary when wanting to load image data in a format immediately
consumable by OpenGL (see Example down below).
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'stb_image_ffi'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install stb_image_ffi
Example
STBImage.stbi_set_flip_vertically_on_load 1
file = "image.jpg"
width_ptr = " " * 8
height_ptr = " " * 8
channels_ptr = " " * 8
desired_channels = 3
ptr = STBImage.stbi_load(file, width_ptr, height_ptr, channels_ptr, desired_channels)
width = width_ptr.unpack1 "L"
height = height_ptr.unpack1 "L"
channels = channels_ptr.unpack1 "L"
data = ptr.get_bytes(0, width * height * channels)
# ...
glTexStorage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 1, GL_RGB8, width, height)
glTexSubImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 0, 0, width, height, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data)
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
