stb_dxt.h

// stb_dxt.h - v1.06 - DXT1/DXT5 compressor - public domain
// original by fabian "ryg" giesen - ported to C by stb
// use '#define STB_DXT_IMPLEMENTATION' before including to create the implementation
//
// USAGE:
//   call stb_compress_dxt_block() for every block (you must pad)
//     source should be a 4x4 block of RGBA data in row-major order;
//     A is ignored if you specify alpha=0; you can turn on dithering
//     and "high quality" using mode.
//
// version history:
//   v1.06  - (stb) fix to known-broken 1.05
//   v1.05  - (stb) support bc5/3dc (Arvids Kokins), use extern "C" in C++ (Pavel Krajcevski)
//   v1.04  - (ryg) default to no rounding bias for lerped colors (as per S3TC/DX10 spec);
//            single color match fix (allow for inexact color interpolation);
//            optimal DXT5 index finder; "high quality" mode that runs multiple refinement steps.
//   v1.03  - (stb) endianness support
//   v1.02  - (stb) fix alpha encoding bug
//   v1.01  - (stb) fix bug converting to RGB that messed up quality, thanks ryg & cbloom
//   v1.00  - (stb) first release
//

//     NVidia and Intel GPUs (as of 2010) as well as DX9 ref use DXT decoders that are closer
//     to STB_DXT_USE_ROUNDING_BIAS. AMD/ATI, S3 and DX10 ref are closer to rounding with no bias.
//     you also see "(a*5 + b*3) / 8" on some old GPU designs.
