Hello Niels, Thanks a lot for the information.
I guess the answer remains same for .bmp file. I read in an old document on directfb : *1.2.6 Image Loading DirectFB includes image providers, which allow loading of the following image formats directly into DirectFB surfaces: • JPEG (using libjpeg) • PNG (using libpng2) • GIF (integrated, no library required) • various other image formats (using Imlib2)* Do you have any info about the image formats supported through lmlib2? tia Aman On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 7:40 PM, Niels Roest <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Aman. > > Writing a ppm is always going to be easier than reading ;) > > You need to write your own provider. > I suggest to take an existing one, copy it and adapt it, e.g. gif.
