About

cputexture provides classes that wrap texture data and provide easy access to their surfaces. There is support for 1d, 1d array, 2d, 2d array, cubemap, cubemap array, and 3d textures. cputexture supports all the formats supported by gpuformat.

Features Overview

• Classes wrapping a texture and all its surfaces.
• Views and spans for textures and surfaces.
• Conversions between texture formats.
• Sampling of textures. Currently only point sampling is supported.
• Basic texture operations for clearing, copying, decompressing, and flipping textures

Textures

#include <cputex/unique_texture.h>
#include <cputex/shared_texture.h>

cputexture provides two basic classes for representing textures: cputex::UniqueTexture and cputex::SharedTexture. They provide identical functionality, except that cputex::SharedTexture is reference counted. They are analogous to std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr. These classes can be found in cputex/unique_texture.h and cputex/shared_texture.h respectively.

Texture Views and Spans

#include <cputex/texture_view.h>

In addition to the main texture classes, there are also views and spans. These views and spans can represent a whole texture (collection of surfaces) or a single surface from the texture. The available views and spans are:

• cputex::TextureView: Read only view of a texture and all its surfaces.
• cputex::TextureSpan: Mutable view of a texture and all its surfaces.
• cputex::SurfaceView: Read only view of an individual surface (mip, array slice, cubemap face, or volume slice).
• cputex::SurfaceSpan: Mutable view of an individual surface (mip, array slice, cubemap face, or volume slice).

Sampling

#include <cputex/sampler.h>

cputex::Sampler sampler{someTextureView};

glm::vec3 texCoords{0.1, 0.5, 0.0};
gpufmt::SampleVariant = sampler.sample(texCoords);

glm::ivec3 texel(12, 52, 0);
gpufmt::SampleVariant = sampler.load(texel);

Converting

#include <cputex/converter.h>

cputex::Converter converter{sourceFormat, destFormat};
cputex::ConvertError error;
cputex::UniqueTexture convertedTexture = converter.convert(sourceSurfaceOrTexture, error);

Operations

#include <cputex/texture_operations.h>

• cputex::clear
• cputex::flipHorizontal
• cputex::flipVertical
• cputex::copySurfaceRegionTo
• cputex::decompressSurface
• cputex::decompressTexture

Supported Compilers

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2017
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2019

No other compilers have been tested, but there's no reason why they shouldn't work. I am more than happy integrate changes that provide compatibility for other compilers.

Building

1. Run premake 5.0 in the cputexture directory using the premake5.lua file targeting your desired toolset. ex. premake5.exe vs2019.
2. Then build the static libraries with your desired environment.
3. Include all of the files in cputex/include in your project.

Thirdparty Libraries

• glm - Basic vector types and some packing and unpacking functions.
• gpuformat - GPU format wrapper library.
• tcbrindle-span - std::span implementation for C++11 and later.
