Does anyone know if there are plans to GIF image handling to PureBasic or better yet does anyone know of where I might find a library or code that would allow me to handle GIF images?
Thanks!

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

Use LoadImageEx() here:

No need for plugins, DLLs, etc.

I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

There has been some code recently, there : http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 75&start=0
and elsewhere but I don't find it.

It does, unfortunately that was posted seven years ago and the file is no longer available.IdeasVacuum wrote:This looks interesting: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 05&start=0
Since the GIFs will be pulled from the internet for this project, CatchImageEx() will be the more useful, but these definitely look like the way to go for now. Thanks!PB wrote:Use LoadImageEx() here:
These look interesting but they are also more than I need since in this project I'll only be dealing with static images. Thanks anyway!djes wrote:There has been some code recently, there : http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 75&start=0
In a way that's not surprising. Unless the PureBasic team changed it, I believe the smallest word phpBB indexes for searching is four characters which means you won't be able to search for words like BMP, JPG, PNG, and GIF.djes wrote:and elsewhere but I don't find it.
Re: GIF image handling
Yes, the forum search is often a pain. You could use "gif*" or even better: go to your favorite search engine and search for something like "site:purebasic.fr gif".GWarner wrote:In a way that's not surprising.

If any of you native English speakers have any suggestions for the above text, please let me know (via PM). Thanks!

Yes - but it doesn't mean that gif* would fail eatherGWarner wrote:the smallest word phpBB indexes for searching is four characters which means you won't be able to search for words like BMP, JPG, PNG, and GIF.
besides you can find some additional search alternatives on board as well

Re: GIF image handling
Yes, I had thought of using Google to search the forum, however, the code that PB pointed to looks like it will suite my needs perfectly.c4s wrote:Yes, the forum search is often a pain.

Thanks everyone for the input!
