LE5 draw texture to screen?

[SpiderPig]

How can a texture be drawn to the screen?  Does it first need to be converted into a pixmap and set onto a widget?

In UAK? Create a panel and use SetPixmap to apply the image to the panel.

I'm using Ultra - trying to do something like this.

//Setup
auto texture = CreateTextureBuffer(512, 512);
auto cam2 = CreateCamera(world);
cam2->SetRenderTarget(texture);

auto panel = CreatePanel(0,0,512,512,ui);

//Loop
auto pixmap = ConvertToPixmap(texture->GetColorBuffer());???
panel->setPixmap(pixmap);

How can you be using it? It has not been released yet.

I have a steam copy you gave access too ages ago.

It may have changed, but you would call CreateRect() and apply a material to it, together with a camera with orthographic projection. There's no 2D drawing commands, just persistent objects and orthographic projection.

That did the trick, thankyou.
