Tiff Texture Provider

Hey guys,

There doesn't seem to be a Tiff Texture Provider in TextureIO. Does one exist somewhere and I am just missing it? Or is this a planned feature for the future? Or is there some other way to load .tiff textures.

Thanks,
Mike

Rather use ImageIO with TextureIO. There is no plan of supporting Tiff as far as I know.

I like to recommend _not_ to use AWT's ImageIO,
since it is not supported on all platforms
like headless, mobile/embedded, Android/Dalvik.

However our build in PNG is supported quite well (thx to PNGJ),
as well as other native image formats (DDS, SGI, TGA, NetPbm).
With those .. your application will run on all devices
and also use less memory and cpu cycles (AWT's ImageIO is quite expensive).

What about JPEG? I'm not a big fan of Swing ImageIO, I suggested it as a workaround.

Such encoder/decoder is missing in our 'core support'.
Is it more desired than PNG? Thought the latter is superior anyways.
However, if anybody knows about a 'small and fast' JPEG encoder (optional)
and decoder w/ a compatible license (BSD, Apache2, ..) we can migrate it.

Yup.

PNG and GIF are better for logos whereas JPEG is better for photos.

Maybe look at this:
