UVAtlas - isochart texture atlasing

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=512686

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

October 29, 2024

This package contains UVAtlas, a shared source library for creating and packing an isochart texture atlas.

This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2019 (16.11), Visual Studio 2022, clang for Windows v12 or later, or MinGW 12.2. Use of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update SDK (19041) or later is required for Visual Studio. It can also be built for Windows Subsystem for Linux using GCC 11 or later.

These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the legacy DirectX SDK. For details, see Where is the DirectX SDK?.

Release Notes

FOR SECURITY ADVISORIES, see GitHub.

For a full change history, see CHANGELOG.md.

  • Starting with the December 2020 release, this library makes use of typed enum bitmask flags per the recommendation of the C++ Standard section 17.5.2.1.3 Bitmask types. This is consistent with Direct3D 12's use of the DEFINE_ENUM_FLAG_OPERATORS macro. This may have breaking change impacts to client code:

    • You cannot pass the 0 literal as your option flags value. Instead you must make use of the appropriate default enum value: UVATLAS_DEFAULT or UVATLAS_IMT_DEFAULT.

    • Use the enum type instead of DWORD if building up flags values locally with bitmask operations. For example, UVATLAS options = UVATLAS_DEFAULT; if (...) options |= UVATLAS_GEODESIC_FAST;

  • The UWP projects and the Win10 classic desktop project include configurations for the ARM64 platform. Building these requires installing the ARM64 toolset.

  • For ARM64/AArch64 development, the VS 2022 compiler is strongly recommended over the VS 2019 toolset. The Windows SDK (26100 or later) is not compatible with VS 2019 for Win32 on ARM64 development. Note that the ARM32/AArch32 platform is deprecated.

  • When using clang/LLVM for the ARM64/AArch64 platform, the Windows 11 SDK (22000) or later is required.

  • As of the October 2024 release, the command-line tool also supports GNU-style long options using --. All existing switches continue to function, but some of the - options are now deprecated per this table:

Old switch New switch
-sdkmesh -ft sdkmesh
--file-type sdkmesh
-sdkmesh2 -ft sdkmesh2
--file-type sdkmesh2
-cmo -ft cmo
--file-type cmo
-vbo -ft vbo
--file-type vbo
-wf -ft obj
--file-type obj
-flipu --flip-u
-flipv --flip-v
-flipz --flip-z
