they are written to disk, either inline or as an external file. Added support for
this in the .ive plugin. Default of WriteHint is NO_PREFERNCE, in which case it's
up to the reader/writer to decide.
of saving image files inside the IVE file. Currently, only the raw
image data is saved into the file. If your model uses jpg images as
textures then this will cause your file size to increase.
I've added an option that will embed the original image file into the
IVE file. The IVE file will then attempt to read the image from
memory. Since most image loaders support reading from memory, this
shouldn't be a problem. To use this new feature the user must specify
the option "includeImageFileInIVEFile" when converting to IVE.
I tested this out on the "skydome.osg" model that comes with OSG.
Using the old method, the IVE file size would be 785 KB, with the new
method it is only 42 KB.
Also, I've added the support for TextureRectangle's to the IVE reader/writer."
