load_image(3) Arcan Lua API load_image(3) NAME load_image - synchronously load supported images SYNOPSIS VID, fail:BADID load_image( resource, startzv, desired width, desired height ) DESCRIPTION Sets up a new video object container and attempts to load and decode an im- age from the specified resource. NOTES 1 The new VID has its opacity set to 0 (hidden) 2 This routine is synchronous, so it will block until the image has been loaded 3 desired width/desired height are capped to the engine compile-time values CONST_MAX_SURFACEW , CONST_MAX_SURFACEH (2048x2048) 4 If the engine is running in conservative mode, no local copy will be kept in memory and the resource will be reloaded on every operation that manipulates the current rendering context (e.g. stack push / pop or launch_target(external). 5 supported file formats vary with platform and engine build, only ones that are guaranteed to work are PNG and JPEG . EXAMPLE function load_image0() vid = load_image("test.png"); show_image(vid); vid2 = load_image("test.png", 2, 48, 48); show_image(vid); end MISUSE function load_image0() vid = load_image(); end MISUSE function load_image1() vid = load_image("test.png", -1, -1, -1); end SEE ALSO: load_image_asynch(3) image August 2026 load_image(3)
