A library that easily allows you to re-scale your images to the right power of two dimensions.
npm i pw2Combine ⚡PW² with fs and resize your textures with only 8 lines of code.
const fs = require('fs')
const {createPw2, RESIZING_MODES} = require('pw2')
const pw2 = createPw2()
async function main(inputPath) {
const inputFile = await fs.readFileSync(inputPath)
const nearestBuffer = await pw2.resizeAndGetBuffer(inputFile, RESIZING_MODES.NEAREST_PW2)
fs.writeFileSync('./nearest.png', nearestBuffer)
}Hook the handleFileUpload function to your file input 'change' event, and use file-saver to download the blob easilly.
import {saveAs} from 'file-saver'
import {createPw2, RESIZING_MODES} from 'pw2'
const pw2 = createPw2()
async function handleFileUpload(evt) {
const file = evt.target.files[0]
const fileReader = new FileReader()
fileReader.onload = async() => {
const resizedFile = await pw2.resizeAndGetBuffer(fileReader.result, RESIZING_MODES.NEAREST_PW2)
const resizedFileBlob = new Blob([resizedFile])
saveAs(resizedFileBlob, 'resized_image.png')
}
fileReader.readAsArrayBuffer(file)
}Games and real-time applications, in general, tend to prefer images and textures with power-of-two dimensions, because they make it easier to generate mipmaps, consume less GPU memory, and increase the overall performance for shader operations.
However, finding the right power-of-two values for each dimension of each texture of each model in your application sounds time-consuming, and it is. ⚡PW² born from the necessity to make this a no-brainer, quick and easy process.
⚡PW² uses Jimp under the hood to get your texture current dimensions and re-scale it to the right power-of-two dimensions.
This library was developed for the cs50 Final Project assignment.
- Fix PREVIOUS_PW2 enum value to PREVIOUS_PW2 on src/resizingModes.ts
- Fix Ipw2 Interface methods to accept Pw2AllowedInputs as type to file input on src/pw2.ts
- Export Ipw2 Interface to external use on src/pw2.ts and src/index.ts
- Fix any English misspells (sorry guys, it's not my first language 🤷♂️)
