Why `LoadImageColors` returns `Color` instead of `Color[]`?

[xzripper]

Raylib cheatsheet:

Color *LoadImageColors(Image image); // Load color data from image as a Color array (RGBA - 32bit)

Java:

public static native Raylib.Color LoadImageColors(@ByVal Raylib.Image var0);

And same issue with LoadMaterials, LoadRandomSequence, etc...

Why Jaylib returns single object instead of array?

Google "array to pointer decay".

The C function doesn't return an array - it returns a pointer. The pointer may point to an array, or it may point to a single struct. The compiler has no way to know from that function definition.

If we know that it has indeed returned an array, then we can access the other elements with https://electronstudio.github.io/jaylib/com/raylib/Raylib.Color.html#position(long)
