class Texture

Defined in: C4Textures.h

The Texture class encapsulates a texture map.

Definition

class Texture : public Render::TextureObject, public Shared, public ListElement<Texture>

Member Functions

`Texture::Get`	Returns a reference to a texture object.
`Texture::GetTextureWidth`	Returns the width of a texture map.
`Texture::GetTextureHeight`	Returns the height of a texture map.
`Texture::GetTextureHeader`	Returns the `TextureHeader` data structure for a texture object.
`Texture::GetImagePointer`	Returns a pointer to the image data for a texture object.

Constructor

Texture(TextureResource *resource, long index);

Texture(const TextureHeader *header, const void *image = nullptr);

Parameters

`name`	The name of the texture resource.
`index`	The index of the texture within the texture resource.
`header`	A pointer to a `TextureHeader` structure describing the texture.
`image`	A pointer to the pixel image for the texture. If this is `nullptr`, then the location of the image is given by the information in the texture header.

Description

The Texture class encapsulates a texture map that is either stored in a resource or created in memory. Since a texture is a reference-counted shared object, it cannot be created using the new operator, but instead should be created using the Texture::Get function.

A texture should be released by calling the Shared::Release function.

Base Classes

`Render::TextureObject`	Used internally by the Graphics Manager.
`Shared`	Texture objects are reference counted.
`ListElement<Texture>`	Used internally by the Graphics Manager.
