Hey guys. I'm working on a plugin for a CAD application in VS2008, C++. I work with an API which is made for OpenGL, but I wont be using OGL at all (I hope) since the actual images (otherwise rendered) are already availible as image files. This API has a function that takes a vector of GLuints. I have a bunch of images I want to load there. I thought I might use DevIL for this, since I heard it's an easy task to convert an image (.JPG in this case) to GLuint, also I need to focus more on the rest of the plugin rather than this. I've been stuck with this for a long time now and would love to get some help on the subject. If someone could assist me with some pseudo code for doing this would be much appreciated. I have a function which is responsible for doing it, which is called in a for loop x times (depending on the number of images). It takes as parameter a pointer to the current .JPG. ( Cstring* fileName )
ILuint imageName;
GLuint image;
ILboolean success;
// Error check
if (ilGetInteger(IL_VERSION_NUM) < IL_VERSION)
{
return;
}
// Initialization
ilInit();
iluInit();
ilutRenderer(ILUT_OPENGL);
ilGenImages(1, &imageName); // grab a new image name
ilBindImage(imageName); // bind it
// Error should be 0 if everything went well
ILenum Error = ilGetError();
success = ilLoadImage( (const wchar_t*) fileName );
Error = ilGetError();
success = ilLoadImage((const wchar_t*)"Z:/mypath/image0.jpg");
