Texture Filtering options #114

Closed yveszoundi closed 2 years ago

yveszoundi commented 3 years ago

Problem

The screenshot quality is not always the greatest with default hard-coded settings, leading to blurry images while zooming.

I'm running a Debian based distribution (sparkylinux), inside a windows virtual machine (hyper-v)
I'm using boomer inside a tiling window manager (dwm)

The Ask

Provide some configuration options in order to set the expected screenshot quality for zooming.

Potential approach

Configuration change

Allow some config options in config.nim (image_quality=default or high?)
Those options should be available in the config file generation logic too (~/.config/boomer/config)

Conditional logic for higher quality screenshots

In the main procedure (boomer.nim), I've played around with the following with great results:

GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER set to GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR instead of the default GL_NEAREST
GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER set to GL_LINEAR instead of the default GL_NEAREST

Thanks again for your hard work overall, I really enjoy your videos especially on porth.
