Runtime-generated textures

[AW999]

Once I've generated the textures I need via my code, what's the easiest way to transfer that array to a usable texture graphic which jPCT can use?  I assume for a .bmp, I just need to reverse the array so it's "upside down" and then add a header?  Or is it best to use premade conversion code from a library? Or am I way off base...?

Depends on the format of the generated texture. If it's an int[]-array or similar, the best way is to use an ITextureEffect.

  Just an array of pixels in RGB format. Is there an example of using ITextureEffect for something like this?

I have various ITextureEffect implementations lying around here, but i guess they would confuse more than they might help, because they do too much.

The steps are pretty simple:

• Implement the ITextureEffect-interface and let the apply()-method copy your generated pixel data into the dest int[]-array
• Assign the effect to an empty texture of that size (Texture.setEffect())
• Apply the effect (Texture.applyEffect())
• Remove the effect (Texture.removeEffect())

That's basically all there is to do. Hope this helps.
