Version      : 0.30
Date         : 2003-03-24
Category     : Graphics
Supported OS : Win32
Description  :
A simple yet robust library to load graphic files.
It allows at the moment to load almost any TGA created with a modern program (PhotoShop, 3DSMax, PaintShopPro...) and almost any DDS (DirectDraw Surface) with support for MipMaps and DXTn/S3TC compression. This library uses its own uncompression routines, so there is no need to link with DirectX libraries.
It's also possible to convert between pixel formats using a 3rd party library like SDL or Hermes.
