bmap_to_format(BMAP* bmap,var format)

Parameters:

Returns:

Speed:

Edition:

Remarks:

• When a target format is not available on the 3D hardware (like 888), the function converts the bmap to the next-best format (8888 in that case). Use bmap_lock to retrieve the final format.
• This function can also be used to convert a render target or compressed image bmap to a standard format that can be accessed through pixel functions.
•  A7  Floating point textures can be used as render targets for special purposes in shaders. For instance, the 14 format is normally used to render the scene depth into a bitmap in order to create soft-edged shadows. Please note that only newer 3D cards support floating point textures for render targets
