Open Image Library is a programming library in C/C++ designed to load, save, convert, manipulate and display a variety of image formats. Current, it saves .h, .jpg, .tga, .raw, .ppm, .pbm and .pgm files. It can also load .bmp, .cut, .jpg, .pal, .col, .pcd, .pcx, .pic, .pbm, .pgm, .png, .ppm, .raw, .sgi, .tga and .tif files.
If you are familiar with OpenGL syntax, then this library should seem very familiar and easy to use. OpenIL uses a very OpenGL-like syntax, modelled after both OpenGL and OpenAL. A quick example of loading an image is:
GLuint Id;
ilGenTextures(1, &Id);
ilBindImage(IL_IMAGE_2D, Id);
ilLoadImage("test.tga");
// Do something with the image here
ilDeleteImages(1, &Id);
This library is still under heavy development but is stable enough to be used in developing projects. Even though library internals may be changed in the future, the current version has the mostly finalized syntax that the library will use from now on. Also, if you want to contribute anything at all to the project, feel free to do so with no obligations. =]
