Image processing capabilities in SFML

[sharethis]

I am using SFML 2.0 for my OpenGL game. For the Minecraft-like cube terrain I use a texture atlas. My problem is that the default mipmap generator interpolates over the boundaries of tiles in the texture atlas. Therefore I need to generate mipmaps on my own.

To generate my own mipmaps which are not interpolated over the edge of tiles, I need some basic impage processing functionality. My question is if my needed functionality is built in in the SFML framework. Otherwise I would need to find an additional library for that purpose.

Image processing functions I need are extracting segments of an image as a new one, inserting there images back into another, larger image and resizing images using linear interpolation. I use the "sf::Image" class for now and would really appreciate continuing using it.

SFML has only minimal image processing features (ie. the sf::Image class), I'm afraid you will have to use another library to do what you want.

If you are lucky, the other library is also compatible to the RGBA format in which sf::Image stores its pixels, so you could run algorithms in-place.

Thanks for your reply!

I think the "sf::Image::Copy" function is exactly what I need. Furthermore I only need resizing what sadly is not implemented in SFML as far as I found out. Maybe I can do that on my own because since the size halves everytime I only need to average over four pixels.
