image2inl

Utility that converts a given image into an array of RGBA bytes that can be easily included on C/C++ applications.

This utility was specially created to generate the .inl file used for the pragtical editor since I didn't found anything public to do so and was curious about how this worked.

Compiling

gcc -lm -o image2inl image2inl.c

Usage

When using it with pragtical make sure to generate a 64x64 png image from the projects icon.svg file since that size is the one that pragtical uses on the SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom call to assign the icon to the application.

After that then just run:

image2inl icon.png icon.inl

Love2d Version

Ulhar developed a lua script for love2d that offers the same functionality and is placed on this repo with the name png2inl.lua for future reference as suggested by redtide!
