Thanks, this is really helpful.

I see how you populated TFPCustomImage and generated “Data” to store the color values.

Is it necessary to build an entire subclass or can I just use TFPMemoryImage to achieve the same effect? I understand now TFPCustomImage is an abstract class but TFPMemoryImage apparently has stored values so I should be able to access the “Data” property but these seem to be accessors to getting single pixel values so I can’t just pass the entire block into glTexImage2D like you did.
