Consider STB as a replacement for libpng #4121

Open santorac opened 3 years ago

Consider stb's stb_image_write.h as a smaller replacement for libpng.

libpng was introduced as a replacement for OpenImageIO (at least in the runtime). stb was not considered at the time this decision was made, and was suggested during PR.

Yes, assuiming the license for STB is good (looks like its PUBLIC DOMAIN OR MIT) we can grab pieces of it and use it.

It would NOT make a good tool-side library for image processing, but its intended purpose is a quick dump from runtime with no dependencies, which is great.
