Getting Started

1. Add the source code to your project.

Java

• Add src/java/TGAReader.java to your project, and modify package statement.

C

• Add src/c/tga_reader.{c,h} to your project.

2. Create a TGA binary data buffer.

Java

	FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("test.tga"));
	byte [] buffer = new byte[fis.available()];
	fis.read(buffer);
	fis.close();

C

#include "tga_reader.h"

FILE *file = fopen("test.tga", "rb");
if(file) {
	int size;
	fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);
	size = ftell(file);
	fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);

	unsigned char *buffer = (unsigned char *)tgaMalloc(size);
	fread(buffer, 1, size, file);
	fclose(file);
}

3. Create pixels with the RGBA byte order parameter.

ByteOrder	Java	C	Comments
ARGB	TGAReader.ARGB	TGA_READER_ARGB	for java.awt.image.BufferedImage, android.graphics.Bitmap
ABGR	TGAReader.ABGR	TGA_READER_ABGR	for OpenGL Texture(GL_RGBA), iOS UIImage

Java

	byte [] buffer = ...;
	int [] pixels = TGAReader.read(buffer, TGAReader.ARGB);
	int width = TGAReader.getWidth(buffer);
	int height = TGAReader.getHeight(buffer);

C

	unsigned char *buffer = ...;
	int *pixels = tgaRead(buffer, TGA_READER_ABGR);
	int width = tgaGetWidth(buffer);
	int height = tgaGetHeight(buffer);

4. Use created pixels in your application.
