Bug 108602 – media-libs/sdl-buffer-0.2.3.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description crusaderky 2005-10-09 06:52:51 UTC]

A SDL library that is useful when you have to resize an image multiple times,
like in an interactive image viewer.

The C code is very well tested but expect bugs in the autoconf/automake scripts.

Required by sdlsee.

any reason you wrote your own instead of simply adding support to sdl-image ?

[Comment 3 crusaderky 2006-01-29 15:19:19 UTC]

sdl-image is just meant to handle loading (and eventually in the future, saving) from (to) different file format. SDL_buffer doesn't do that - in fact, it's written _on top_ of SDL_image, and it comes in handy whenever you need to resize the same image multiple times.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2006-09-03 22:23:29 UTC]

so why cant said functionality be integrated into SDL_Image ?

[Comment 5 crusaderky 2006-09-09 05:10:23 UTC]

because, SDL_Image is meant to _load images_.
SDL_gfx is meant to _manipulate an image_.
SDL_buffer is meant to _manipulate an image buffer_, that is, apply multiple manipulations to a single image and then be able to easily revert back to the original.

I didn't patch sdl_image because this has nothing to do with sdl_image, and I didn't patch sdl_gfx becase this adds much more than what the normal sdl_gfx user needs and wants.
