Graphic File Formats

[Jason Brooks]

Hello,

I have a basic question for someone out there, is there a resource on the internet that will give me the structure of a bitmap, gif and jpg file formats?

Also, is there a good shareware/freeware program for creating .z files I can use in Direct3D.

Many Thanks
Jason

I use a graphics library for jpesI found on the internet. I don't remember where I got it and I've lost most of the files that came with it but I have enough of it for it to work in the program I'm using it in. I do have the E-mail of the guy who wrote it. You can contact him to get a copy. His E-mail is [email protected]

gif's are a different story though. You kinda' have to pay royalties to use the gif format. Well, technically I think I can read and display them without problem but you can't save images using the gif format. I don't know where you can get a gif library but if you want I can give you some code I wrote that gets the width and height of a gif image from a file.
