How to use images?

The README contains:

Use the image package.

But this library doesn't seem to use any functions that take an Image from the image library, nor explains how to use them with raylib functions.

While the raylib image functions themselves have not been wrapped to Dart (i.e. LoadImage taking a Pointer<Char>, and others like IsImageValid which could be made as a method), so I assume that the goal is to try using raylib's image functions the least as possible?

Mainly asking as I'm willing to contribute to this library

Sorry, GitHub didn’t notify me about your issue, so I didn’t see it. I’ve been busy with my graduation recently, so I haven’t continued working on this library. If you’d like to contribute, I’d be very happy to welcome it.

This is my plan:

cdart is a pure Dart package specifically designed to handle C APIs, such as C functions like cosf, fprintf, and similar.
Subsequent support will include a web interface, with WebAssembly (Wasm) integrated into it.
Provide a better, higher-level API—for example, use vector_math for algebraic operations and the image package for image processing.

flowchart TB
    raylib["raylib api"]

    raylib --> cdart
    raylib --> bindings
    raylib --> image
    raylib --> vector_math

    cdart --> sprintf
    cdart --> cosf
    cdart --> others["..."]

    bindings --> wasm
    bindings --> dll

If you’re willing to collaborate, I’d be very happy to work together to make this project successful.

Alright, so in this case the plan is to when defining the bindings, providing the same interface but using the vector_math and image library types? Something kinda like (very roughly)?

import 'package:raylib_dart/raylib_dart.dart' as ray;
import 'package:image/image.dart' as img;
//...
img.Image image = img.decodeJpg(File('test.jpg').readAsBytesSync())!;
ray.Texture texture = ray.LoadTextureFromImage(image);

trying to understand how they'd behave together

Yes, use img.Image to replace ray.Image. The core idea is to create a converter between them that is invisible to the user.

ray.Texture LoadTextureFromImage(img.Image image) {
  return ray.LoadTextureFromImage(image.toRayImage());
}

Then expose LoadTextureFromImage for user.
