  • b
    presumably you already have code there that is doing it
  • c
    i do
  • b
    i vaguely remember adding some util functions to hxwidgets for it
  • c
    Copy code
    haxe
var image = new hx.widgets.Image(null, 200, 56, true);
image.imageData.copyARGB(argbdata);
return new hx.widgets.Bitmap(image);
  • b
    ok, so there you go...
  • c
    this, however, is not portable
  • b
    well, image display is pretty framework specific
  • b
    esp from raw bytes
  • c
    i mean
  • c
    i feel like it's a pretty fundamental thing to do
  • b
    i wouldnt say many people want to create images from raw data... pngs, bmps data... maybe... but i dont think its common to be like "i want to show ARGB data"
  • b
    that said, its not impossible to create an abstraction for it, i just dont personally feel its high priority as, except for you, its never come up before
  • c
    ...huh
  • c
    i use it quite a lot
  • c
    i feel like it wouldnt be too hard to have an abstracted function that converts rgba -> native pixel format that can be imported into an image
  • b
    i dont really know of another UI framework that lets you shunt raw pìxel data into a UI... i mean, you can if you jump though some hoops... even that copyARGB isnt simple in wxwidgets
  • c
    weird
  • b
    do you?
  • c
    it seems like it would be a really obvious feature
  • c
    but, thinking back to it, when i did this kind of thing in python, i would have to use an image library to convert the image data, and then pass that to a compatibility layer, and then to the gui library
  • b
    i think its the opposite of obvious to be honest... i mean, its very specific, why would anyone (in general) be working with raw ARGB data under "normal" circumstances?
  • b
    exactly
  • c
    any kind of image modification
  • c
    viewing obscure formats
  • c
    creating viewers for obscure formats
  • c
    developing new formats
  • c
    implementing new formats
  • b
    sure, but these arent "super obvious" usages is what im saying... and you can do it, its just not "the default" (as i wouldnt expect it to be in any UI framework)
  • c
    hm
  • b
    i mean, i doubt it would be hard to add a 
    ToolkitAssets.imageFromRaw(bytes, width, height, format, callback)
