Detailed Description

Background texture loading manager.

Used to load textures for the user interface asynchronously, allowing fluid framerates while background loading textures.

Member Function Documentation

CleanupUnusedImages()

void CGUILargeTextureManager::CleanupUnusedImages

(

bool

immediately = false

)

Cleanup images that are no longer in use.

Loaded textures are reference counted, and upon reaching reference count 0 through ReleaseImage() they are flagged as unused with the current time. After a delay they may be unloaded, hence CleanupUnusedImages() should be called periodically to ensure this occurs.

Parameters

immediately

set to true to cleanup images regardless of whether the delay has passed

GetImage()

bool CGUILargeTextureManager::GetImage	(	const std::string &	path,
		CTextureArray &	texture,
		bool	firstRequest,
		bool	useCache = true )

Request a texture to be loaded in the background.

Loaded textures are reference counted, hence this call may immediately return with the texture object filled if the texture has been previously loaded, else will return with an empty texture object if it is being loaded.

Parameters

path	path of the image to load.
texture	texture object to hold the resulting texture
orientation	orientation of resulting texture
firstRequest	true if this is the first time we are requesting this texture

Returns

true if the image exists, else false.

OnJobComplete()

void CGUILargeTextureManager::OnJobComplete ( unsigned int jobID, bool success, CJob * job )

overridevirtual

Callback from CImageLoader on completion of a loaded image.

Transfers texture information from the loading job to our allocated texture list.

See also

CImageLoader, IJobCallback

Implements IJobCallback.

ReleaseImage()

void CGUILargeTextureManager::ReleaseImage	(	const std::string &	path,
		bool	immediately = false )

Request a texture to be unloaded.

When textures are finished with, this function should be called. This decrements the texture's reference count, and schedules it to be unloaded once the reference count reaches zero. If the texture is still queued for loading, or is in the process of loading, the image load is cancelled.

Parameters

path	path of the image to release.
immediately	if set true the image is immediately unloaded once its reference count reaches zero rather than being unloaded after a delay.
