devil: BufferedImage

hi lwjgl developer,

what do you think about BufferedImage in devil ?

a simple method in IL like

public static BufferedImage loadBufferedImage (String fileName);
or better
public static BufferedImage loadBufferedImage (URL url);

i implemented that method in a jogl (uh - sorry for that) binding for my little
gui3d project http://gui3d.org/

the damn. slow and buggy
javax.imageio.ImageIO isnt’ longer need.
also the extra package
JAI - Java Advanced Imaging API , from sun

i think you’ve so much on board that you should
write little bridges to “java-standards” to make the stuff more accessible.

i’m not the only one who uses lwjgl for APPLICATIONS.

i hope that you dont’ misunderstand my suggestions.
lwjgl is the best java gaming platform !

greetZ+codeZ,
olaf

I’ve never heard of anyone having any use for it… that said, we could add that to a utility method/class if someone wants to send us a patch :wink:
