dds-ktx: Portable single header DDS/KTX reader for C/C++

@septag

• Parses from memory blob. No allocations
• No dependencies
• Single-header for easy integration
• Overridable libc functions

Build Example (ctexview)

ctexview is a tiny ddx-ktx viewer that can be built on linux/mac and windows. To build it just compile the single file with your compiler.

Windows:

cl ctexview.c /O2

Linuxx

gcc ctexview.c -O2 -lGL -ldl -lX11 -lXi -lXcursor -lm -o ctexview

MacOS

clang -framework Foundation -framework CoreServices -framework CoreFoundation -O2 -fobjc-arc -x objective-c -fmodules -x objective-c ctexview.c -o ./ctexview

to view images just provide the image path as an argument:

ctexview [dds_or_ktx_image_file_path]

Used open-source libraries for app creation/graphics: Sokol

Keys:

• UP/DOWN: change current mipmap
• Apostrophe: change text color
• F: Next cube-map face
• R: Toggle Red channel
• G: Toggle Green channel
• B: Toggle Blue channel
• A: Toggle Alpha channel

Usage

In this example, a simple 2D texture is parsed and created using OpenGL

#define DDSKTX_IMPLEMENT
#include "dds-ktx.h"

int size;
void* dds_data = load_file("test.dds", &size);
assert(dds_data);
ddsktx_texture_info tc = {0};
GLuint tex = 0;
if (ddsktx_parse(&tc, dds_data, size, NULL)) {
    assert(tc.depth == 1);
    assert(!(tc.flags & STC_TEXTURE_FLAG_CUBEMAP));
    assert(tc.num_layers == 1);

    //Create GPU texture from tc data
    glGenTextures(1, &tex);
    glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
    glBindTexture(img->gl_target, tex);

    for (int mip = 0; mip < tc->num_mips; mip++) {
        ddsktx_sub_data sub_data;
        ddsktx_get_sub(&tc, &sub_data, dds_data, size, 0, 0, mip);
        // Fill/Set texture sub resource data (mips in this case)
        if (ddsktx_format_compressed(tc.format))
            glCompressedTexImage2D(..);
        else
            glTexImage2D(..);
    }

    // Now we can delete file data
    free(dds_data);
}

TODO

• Write KTX/DDS
• Read KTX metadata. currently it just stores the offset/size to the metadata block

Others

• stb_image - Single header library that loads images (.png, .jpg, .bmp, etc)
• bimg - Extensive C++ image library

NOTE: Many parts of the code is taken from bimg library.
