OpenGLImageLoader - myGUI (What's wrong?)

[codder]

Hi,

im going to use myGUI as gui library for a tiny project

but the problem is:
http://www7.escoflip.com/tikiwiki/OpenGL+Image+Loader+Using+DevIL+Image+Library&structure=Libraries

i have to change this with sfml functions

actually im doing this:

-loading image
-pass image.GetWidth(); to _width
-pass image.GetHeight(); to _height

but what about pixel format?
and getting raw image and return it?

[Laurent]

Hi

The pixel format is fixed in SFML: MyGUI::PixelFormat::R8G8B8A8.

The raw pixel data is image.GetPixelsPtr() (don't forget to memcpy it, don't return it directly).

Thanks

Code: [Select]

void* ImgLoader::loadImage(int& _width, int& _height, MyGUI::PixelFormat& _format, const std::string& _filename)
{
if (!mImage.LoadFromFile(_filename))
return NULL;

_width = mImage.GetWidth();
_height = mImage.GetHeight();
_format = MyGUI::PixelFormat::R8G8B8A8;

size_t size = _width * _height ;
void* data = new unsigned char[size];
memcpy(data, mImage.GetPixelsPtr(), size);
return data;
}

it doesn't load the image

The pixel data size is width * height * 4 (there are 4 components per pixel).

And who frees the allocated memory which is returned? If it's not you, I guess that you must use a specific allocation function, that matches the deallocation function that myGUI uses. For example, if it uses free, the behaviour will be undefined on your memory allocated with new.

i'm looking an official example
and here is the code:

Code: [Select]

void* BaseManager::loadImage(int& _width, int& _height, MyGUI::PixelFormat& _format, const std::string& _filename)
{
std::string fullname = MyGUI::OpenGLDataManager::getInstance().getDataPath(_filename);

void* result = 0;

Gdiplus::Bitmap* image = Gdiplus::Bitmap::FromFile(MyGUI::UString(fullname).asWStr_c_str());
if (image)
{
_width = image->GetWidth();
_height = image->GetHeight();
Gdiplus::PixelFormat format = image->GetPixelFormat();

if (format == PixelFormat24bppRGB)
_format = MyGUI::PixelFormat::R8G8B8;
else if (format == PixelFormat32bppARGB)
_format = MyGUI::PixelFormat::R8G8B8A8;
else
_format = MyGUI::PixelFormat::Unknow;

if (_format != MyGUI::PixelFormat::Unknow)
{
Gdiplus::Rect rect(0, 0, _width, _height);
Gdiplus::BitmapData out_data;
image->LockBits(&rect, Gdiplus::ImageLockModeRead, format, &out_data);

size_t size = out_data.Height * out_data.Stride;
result = new unsigned char[size];

convertRawData(&out_data, result, size, _format);

image->UnlockBits(&out_data);
}

delete image;
}

return result;
}

btw let my try width*height*4
edit:

it give me

[Laurent]

The vertex buffer error doesn't seem to be related to your image loading function.

[codder]

maybe a it's a myGUI bug?

[Laurent]

Maybe. But it's a totally different problem anyway, you should probably report it to the developers or ask on the official forum.
