3 ways to decode a PNG from a file to RGBA pixel data (and 2 in-memory ways).

//g++ lodepng.cpp example_decode.cpp -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -O3


//Example 1
//Decode from disk to raw pixels with a single function call
void decodeOneStep(const char* filename)
{
  std::vector<unsigned char> image; //the raw pixels
  unsigned width, height;

  //decode
  unsigned error = lodepng::decode(image, width, height, filename);

  //the pixels are now in the vector "image", 4 bytes per pixel, ordered RGBARGBA..., use it as texture, draw it, ...
}

//Example 2
//Load PNG file from disk to memory first, then decode to raw pixels in memory.
void decodeTwoSteps(const char* filename)
{
  std::vector<unsigned char> png;
  std::vector<unsigned char> image; //the raw pixels

  //the pixels are now in the vector "image", 4 bytes per pixel, ordered RGBARGBA..., use it as texture, draw it, ...
}

//Example 3
//Load PNG file from disk using a State, normally needed for more advanced usage.
