image.mod

BlitzMax includes support for loading many different image formats.

Simply import one of the image modules, and you will be able to load images of that format into a TPixmap.

Supported formats

The following image formats are currently supported :

BMP

Usage :

Import Image.BMP

See Wikipedia for more information about the format.

GIF

Usage :

Import Image.GIF

Supports both static and animated GIFs.

To load an animated GIF, use the following function, TGifImage.LoadImage(url:Object) :

Local image:TImage = TGifImage.LoadImage("image-name.gif")

This function returns a fully populated Max2D TImage object directly (similar to calling LoadAnimImage), rather than a TPixmap. GIF frame delays are stored in the frameDuration:Int[] field of TImage as a time in milliseconds.
