SDL.Image

Loads any given file of a supported image type as a Surface, including TGA if the filename ends with ".tga".

If you have TGA files that don't have names ending with ".tga", use loadTGA instead.

Reads an image from a ByteString.

This will work for all supported image types, except TGA. If you need to decode a TGA ByteString, use decodeTGA instead.

Same as load, but returning a Texture instead.

For TGA files not ending in ".tga", use loadTextureTGA instead.

Same as decode, but returning a Texture instead.

If you need to decode a TGA ByteString, use decodeTextureTGA instead.

If your TGA files aren't in a filename ending with ".tga", you can load them using this function.

Reads a TGA image from a ByteString.

Assumes the input is a TGA-formatted image.

Same as loadTGA, only returning a Texture instead.

Same as decodeTGA, but returns a Texture instead.

Tests whether a ByteString contains an image of a given format.

Tries to detect the image format by attempting formattedAs with each possible Format.

If you're trying to test for a specific format, use a specific formattedAs directly instead.

Each of the supported image formats.

Initializes SDL2_image by loading support for the chosen image formats. Explicit initialization is optional.

You should call this function if you prefer to load image support yourself, at a time when your process isn't as busy. Otherwise, image support will be loaded dynamically when you attempt to load a JPG, PNG, TIF or WEBP-formatted file.

You may call this function multiple times.

Flags intended to be fed to initialize.

Each designates early loading of support for a particular image format.

Gets the major, minor, patch versions of the linked SDL2_image library.

Cleans up any loaded image libraries, freeing memory. You only need to call this function once.
