GetPixels

This function writes the pixel data of a texture to a memory buffer.

Syntax

Parameters

Remarks

The Texture::GetMipmapSize() function should be used to make sure the memory buffer is big enough to accommodate the texture pixel data size.

This function is not available in Lua.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
Context* context = Context::Create(window);
Texture* texture = Texture::Load("Materials/Grass/grass01.tex");

//Create a buffer to store pixel data in
char* pixels = (char*)malloc(texture->GetMipmapSize(0)*8);

//Get the pixel data from the texture and invert it
texture->GetPixels(pixels);
char r, g, b;
for (int x = 0; x < 512; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y<512; y++)
{
int p = (x*texture->GetWidth() + y) * 4;
memcpy(&r, pixels + p + 0, 1);
memcpy(&g, pixels + p + 1, 1);
memcpy(&b, pixels + p + 2, 1);

r = 255 - r;
g = 255 - g;
b = 255 - b;

memcpy(pixels + p + 0, &r, 1);
memcpy(pixels + p + 1, &g, 1);
memcpy(pixels + p + 2, &b, 1);
}
}

//Set the modified pixel data
texture->SetPixels(pixels);
free(pixels);

while (true)
{
if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;
context->SetColor(0, 0, 0, 0);
context->Clear();

//Display the texture on screen
context->SetColor(1, 1, 1, 0);
context->DrawImage(texture, 0, 0);

context->Sync();
}
return 0;
