Ditch stb_image, replace with alternative image loading library
eddieantonio opened this issue · comments
It was convenient for a one-off app, but it doesn't work with all images.
Possible replacements
- CImg (single header file, C++, massive feature bloat)
- FreeImage (requires switch to GPL, big dependency)
- Direct bindings to libpng, libjpeg (requires manual image scaling algorithm)
- ImageMagick
CImg was the deemed to be the best option.
