gDPSetTextureImage [Macro]

Function

gDPSetTextureImage

Sets the texture image area

Syntax

#include <ultra64.h>        /* gbi.h */
gDPSetTextureImage(Gfx *gdl, s32  fmt, s32  siz, s32  width, s32  img)
gsDPSetTextureImage(         s32  fmt, s32  siz, s32  width, s32  img)

Arguments

gdl
Display list pointer.
img
Image address (64-byte alignment).
fmt
Image format:
G_IM_FMT_RGBA (RGBA format)
G_IM_FMT_CI (CI format)
G_IM_FMT_IA (IA format)
G_IM_FMT_I (I format)
siz
Pixel component size:
G_IM_SIZ_4b (4 bits/texel)
G_IM_SIZ_8b (8 bits/texel)
G_IM_SIZ_16b (16 bits/texel)
G_IM_SIZ_32b (32 bits/texel)
width
Image width (1~4096 pixels).

Description

Sets the frame buffer region for texture images. This macro is used in order to utilize a number of textures. The command is normally embedded in gDPLoadTexture* so it is not directly used.

The different image formats of the fmt argument are explained below:

G_IM_FMT_RGBA
Each texel comprises four elements of information: RGB (red, green, blue) and alpha (opacity).
G_IM_FMT_CI
Each texel is comprised of index information specifying palette data.
G_IM_FMT_IA
Each texel is comprised of I (intensity) information and alpha information.
G_IM_FMT_I
Each texel is a texture with only I information. Since this is extremely compact, it is useful when only a few colors are being used.

You can choose from among 7 different texture image formats. The table shows the valid combinations of format and size. Select the format that best suits the texture compression method and type.
