Supported formats and capabilities

Common features

• Support for indexed reading and writing.
• Through VFile, you can load from memory locations (eg. compressed files)

Truevision TARGA (tga)

• RLE compression and decompression works mostly fine, but needs further testing.
• Capable of reading and writing embedded data (developer area). (untested)
• Capable of accessing extension area and generating scanline table. (untested)
• Extra features not present in standard: less than 8 bit indexed images, scanline boundary ignorance compressing RLE at the sacrifice of easy scanline accessing.

Portable Network Graphics (png)

• Compression and decompression through phobos' etc.c.zlib.
• Output mostly works. Certain ancillary chunks generate bad checksums on writing, which might not be liked by certain readers.
• No interlace support yet.
• Basic processing is fully supported, unsupported chunks are stored as extra embedded data.

Planned features

• Better memory safety.

Planned formats

• BMP
• TIFF (requires LZW)
• GIF (requires LZW)
• JPEG (requires codec)
