Introduction
What is a texture?
A texture is simply an image (or portion of an image).
Why use textures?
ISUI can elements use one or more textures to beautify their appearance. For example, a button that just looks like a rectangle isn't very beautiful. However, applying a texture to give it a picture or a 3D appearance makes the button more enjoyable.
Using Textures
Textures are referenced by filename and color key (used to treat a single given 32-bit color as transparent), and allow other properties. Textures MAY be templated.
Attributes
- FileName
- Image filename. The image may be any of those supported by Direct3D's D3DX library: .bmp, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga
- ColorKey
- 32-bit color to consider transparent
Properties
Rectangle
- Left
- Leftmost pixel of the base image to use for this texture
- Right
- Rightmost pixel of the base image to use for this texture
- Top
- Topmost pixel of the base image to use for this texture
- Bottom
- Bottom-most pixel of the base image to use for this texture
Others
- Alpha
- Not yet implemented. Will be used for overall alpha level of this texture.
- Border
- Uniform size, in pixels, of the border area of this texture.
- ColorMask
- 32-bit color to apply to the texture
- Orientation
- Rotation to apply to the texture. Valid values are 0 to 3 (0 being default). The texture will be rotated 90 degrees clockwise for each 1 (e.g. 1=90, 2=180, 3=270 degrees).
