DIRECTX TEXTURE LIBRARY (DirectXTex)
------------------------------------

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

December 17, 2019

This package contains DirectXTex, a shared source library for reading and writing DDS
files, and performing various texture content processing operations including
resizing, format conversion, mip-map generation, block compression for Direct3D runtime
texture resources, and height-map to normal-map conversion. This library makes
use of the Windows Image Component (WIC) APIs. It also includes simple .TGA and .HDR
readers and writers since these image file formats are commonly used for texture content
processing pipelines, but are not currently supported by a built-in WIC codec.

This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, Visual Studio 2017,
or Visual Studio 2019. It is recommended that you make use of VS 2015 Update 3,
Windows Tools 1.4.1, and the Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK (14393) -or-
VS 2017 (15.9 update) / VS 2019 with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update SDK (18362).

These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the
legacy DirectX SDK. For details, see "Where is the DirectX SDK?"
<https://aka.ms/dxsdk>.

DirectXTex\
    This contains the DirectXTex library. This includes a full-featured DDS reader and writer
    including legacy format conversions, a TGA reader and writer, a HDR reader and writer,
    a WIC-based bitmap reader and writer (BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HD Photo), and various
    texture processing functions. This is intended primarily for tool usage.

    Note that the majority of the header files here are intended for internal implementation
    of the library only (BC.h, BCDirectCompute.h, DDS.h, DirectXTexP.h, filters.h, and scoped.h).
    Only DirectXTex.h is meant as a 'public' header for the library.

Texconv\
    This DirectXTex sample is an implementation of the "texconv" command-line texture utility
    from the DirectX SDK utilizing DirectXTex rather than D3DX.

    It supports the same arguments as the Texture Conversion Tool Extended (texconvex.exe) DirectX
    SDK utility. The primary differences are the -10 and -11 arguments are not applicable and the
    filter names (POINT, LINEAR, CUBIC, FANT or BOX, TRIANGLE, *_DITHER, *_DITHER_DIFFUSION).
    This also includes support for the JPEG XR (HD Photo) bitmap format.

    See <https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/Texconv> for details.

Texassemble\
    This DirectXTex sample is a command-line utility for creating cubemaps, volume maps, or
    texture arrays from a set of individual input image files.

    See <https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/Texassemble> for details.

Texdiag\
    This DirectXTex sample is a command-line utility for analyzing image contents, primarily for
    debugging purposes.

    See <https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/Texdiag>
    
DDSView\
    This DirectXTex sample is a simple Direct3D 11-based viewer for DDS files. For array textures
    or volume maps, the "<" and ">" keyboard keys will show different images contained in the DDS.
    The "1" through "0" keys can also be used to jump to a specific image index.

DDSTextureLoader\
    This contains a streamlined version of the DirectX SDK sample DDSWithoutD3DX11 texture
    loading code for a simple light-weight runtime DDS loader. This version only supports
    Direct3D 11 or Direct3D 12 and performs no runtime pixel data conversions (i.e. 24bpp
    legacy DDS files always fail). This is ideal for runtime usage, and supports the full
    complement of Direct3D texture resources (1D, 2D, volume maps, cubemaps, mipmap levels,
    texture arrays, BC formats, etc.).

ScreenGrab\
    This contains screen grab modules for Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 12 primarily intended
    for creating screenshots. The images are written as a DDS or as an image file format
    using WIC.

WICTextureLoader\
    This contains a Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 12 2D texture loader that uses WIC to load a
    bitmap (BMP, JPEG, PNG, HD Photo, or other WIC supported file container), resize if needed
    based on the current feature level (or by explicit parameter), format convert to a
    DXGI_FORMAT if required, and then create a 2D texture. Note this does not support 1D textures,
    volume textures, cubemaps, or texture arrays. DDSTextureLoader is recommended for fully
    "precooked" textures for maximum performance and image quality, but this loader can be useful
    for creating simple 2D texture from standard image files at runtime.

NOTE: DDSTextureLoader, ScreenGrab, and WICTextureLoader are 'stand-alone' versions of the same
      modules provided in the DirectX Tool Kit.

RELEASE NOTES

* The alpha mode specification for DDS files was updated between the March 2013
  and April 2013 releases. Any DDS files created using the DDS_FLAGS_FORCE_DX10_EXT_MISC2
  flag or the texconv -dx10 switch using the March 2013 release should be refreshed.

* Due to the underlying Windows BMP WIC codec, alpha channels are not supported for 16bpp
  or 32bpp BMP pixel format files. The Windows 8.x and Windows 10 version of the Windows
  BMP WIC codec does support 32bpp pixel formats with alpha when using the BITMAPV5HEADER
  file header. Note the updated WIC is available on Windows 7 SP1 with KB 2670838 installed.

* While DXGI 1.0 and DXGI 1.1 include 5:6:5 (DXGI_FORMAT_B5G6R5_UNORM) and
  5:5:5:1 (DXGI_FORMAT_B5G5R5A1_UNORM) pixel format enumerations, the DirectX 10.x and
  11.0 Runtimes do not support these formats for use with Direct3D. The DirectX 11.1 runtime,
  DXGI 1.2, and the WDDM 1.2 driver model fully support 16bpp formats (5:6:5, 5:5:5:1, and
  4:4:4:4).

* WICTextureLoader cannot load .TGA or .HDR files unless the system has a 3rd party WIC
  codec installed. You must use the DirectXTex library for TGA/HDR file format support
  without relying on an add-on WIC codec.

* Loading of 96bpp floating-point TIFF files results in a corrupted image prior to Windows 8.
  This fix is available on Windows 7 SP1 with KB 2670838 installed.

* The VS 2017/2019 projects make use of /permissive- for improved C++ standard
  conformance. Use of a Windows 10 SDK prior to the Fall Creators Update (16299)
  or an Xbox One XDK prior to June 2017 QFE 4 may result in failures due to
  problems with the system headers. You can work around these by disabling this
  switch in the project files which is found in the <ConformanceMode> elements.

* The VS 2017 projects require the 15.5 update or later. For UWP and Win32
  classic desktop projects with the 15.5 - 15.7 updates, you need to install the
  standalone Windows 10 SDK (17763) which is otherwise included in the 15.8.6 or
  later update. Older VS 2017 updates will fail to load the projects due to use
  of the <ConformanceMode> element. If using the 15.5 or 15.6 updates, you will
  see "warning D9002: ignoring unknown option '/Zc:__cplusplus'" because this
  switch isn't supported until 15.7. It is safe to ignore this warning, or you
  can edit the project files <AdditionalOptions> elements.

* The UWP projects include configurations for the ARM64 platform. These require
  VS 2017 (15.9 update) or VS 2019 to build.
