Unigine::Image Class
Header: | #include <UnigineImage.h> |
The color of each pixel of an image is represented by the Pixel structure. Pixel format is determined by the image file format (see the table below).
Image type | Pixel format |
---|---|
8-bit unsigned formats: R8, RG8, RGB8, RGBA8 |
Pixel color components are in range from 0 to 255. E.g. Pixel(10, 10, 255, 255) for RGBA8 Color components are accessed via Pixel.i |
16-bit unsigned formats: R16, RG16, RGB16, RGBA16 |
Pixel color components are in range from 0 to 65535. Color components are accessed via Pixel.i |
16-bit float formats: R16F, RG16F, RGB16F, RGBA16F |
Pixel color components are in range from 0.0f to 1.0f. Color components are accessed via Pixel.i |
32-bit float formats: R32F, RG32F, RGB32F, RGBA32F |
Pixel color components are in range from 0.0f to 1.0f. Color components are accessed via Pixel.f |
