image options #99

Closed ceheitsch closed 4 years ago

ceheitsch commented 4 years ago

It looks like there are more image options than just PNG...? If so, they should be described (briefly) on the wiki; there isn't enough space in the application note. Also, how extensively have these been tested?

There are examples of output in all the formats we support (from images to CSV plaintext from the stats window) located here for documentation. It hasn't been tested by me recently, but the last time I picked this up I created the sample outputs file. Thus I am confident that these export image formats do what they are supposed to (and look consistent).

The SVG image output was actually a feature that was brought to my attention as wanted when we did the peer group testing rounds. SVG is portable and a non-proprietary format that is standard across the systems we support. The C-HEADER format is more of something that I wanted to make things easier for development. This is essentially in the same GIMP-inspired format as you will see in this directory. This pixel buffer based header format is the way we can include high resolution images, icons and logos with FLTK without having to resort to storing them somewhere on the end user's filesystem (the buffers are static and get compiled into the binary).

I will work on documenting these format options on the WIKI after more coding for the other issues today.

Good write-up on file formats on wiki.
