Glaux replacement

i_pee_freely · 2003-04-17T16:00:58

I see people in posts saying that glaux is bad. I want to load bitmaps to use as textures. How do i do it without auxDIBImageLoad()????? Some code of creating an image without would be beautiful. Is there a function in glut that does the job of loading bitmaps?? Why do tutorials that i see use it if it''s bad.

2.130 What is the AUX library?

Very important: Don''t use AUX. Use GLUT instead.

The AUX library was developed by SGI early in OpenGL''s life to ease creation of small OpenGL demonstration programs. It''s currently neither supported nor maintained. Developing OpenGL programs using AUX is strongly discouraged.

Glut isn''t maintaned either, and it doesn''t have a bmp function anyway. Glut is good for making cross-platform windows though.
