Greetings, I am working with nehe's lesson 6 loading a raw image. Some of the code seems to baffle me. I can get it to work I just need to logic about a line. Please explain this line........ sz = (((3*refimg->w+3)>>2)<<2)*refimg->h;
Here is the source code..... =============================================================== typedef struct _RGBIMG { GLuint w; // Image's Width GLuint h; // Image's Height GLubyte* data; // Image's Data (Pixels) } RGBIMG; GLuint g_texid[TEXTURES_NUM]; // Our Textures' Id List (NEW) bool load_rgb_image(const char* file_name, int w, int h, RGBIMG* refimg) { GLuint sz; // Our Image's Data Field Length In Bytes FILE* file; // The Image's File On Disk long fsize; // File Size In Bytes GLubyte* p; // Helper Pointer // Update The Image's Fields refimg->w = (GLuint) w; refimg->h = (GLuint) h; sz = (((3*refimg->w+3)>>2)<<2)*refimg->h; refimg->data = new GLubyte [sz]; if (refimg->data == NULL) return false; // Open The File And Read The Pixels file = fopen(file_name , "rb"); if (!file) return false; fseek(file, 0L, SEEK_END); fsize = ftell(file); if (fsize != (long)sz) { fclose(file); return false; } fseek(file, 0L, SEEK_SET); p = refimg->data; while (fsize > 0) { fread(p, 1, 1, file); p++; fsize--; } fclose(file); return true; } ============================================================= sz = (((3*refimg->w+3)>>2)<<2)*refimg->h; This is how I see the line... 3 multiply by the width plus 3. then shift the bytes right(divide by 2) the shift the bytes left (multiply by 2) multiply by the height. Please clear up this line for me. Thanks in advance. ----------------------------- "There are ones that say they can and there are those who actually do."
