Rough idea for texture mapping options

0 TEXTURE START <fname>
<quadized verison of texture-using parts if needed>
0 TEXTURE END


I could agree on this.

A browser compatible with L-Draw woudl use the quad version ignoring the
directive. Otherwise the bitmap in fname would be used.

Perhps a new line type is needed.- ie  Type 6.

Type 6- is only treated by new browsers.

line looks like: 6 <fanme.DAT> <fname.*>

where the first param indicates the dat file to be used for the texture
and where the second param indicates the optional image format to be used
instead of the DAT file if the borwser suppourts texture mapping.  A patch
might be needed to L-Draw so that it is able to use Type 6...


Issues: local file name or URL? Upper vs Lower case..
        Format for bitmaps? - Not evreybody uses Windows *.BMP, some other
people use MAC Pict or GIF/PNG/JPEG for images as well as other more • obscure
formats...
Compatibility with earlier *.DAT file viewers.

Generally possible, but keep in mind that writing code for Gif/Jpeg could be
a license issue.

As I remember. Another person had the same probleme with the GIF license. But he desided to let his program be freeware, and then it was not a probleme. So I think you could use the GIF format, as long as MLcad is freware. -- Djelle alias Mogens (...) (24 years ago, 4-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
