The IA88 field is a member of the ImageFormat enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. This format represents an image with intensity and alpha channels, each 8 bits in size. It is commonly used for grayscale images with an alpha channel, where the intensity and alpha values are stored separately.
Use the IA88 format when you need to work with images that require both intensity and alpha information, such as textures that need to represent transparency and grayscale data. This format is particularly useful in scenarios where color information is not necessary, and you want to optimize for memory usage by only storing intensity and alpha data.
// Example of using IA88 format in a texture loading function
public void LoadTexture(string filePath)
{
// Assuming LoadImage is a method that loads an image with a specified format
Image image = LoadImage(filePath, ImageFormat.IA88);
// Use the image in your application
ApplyTexture(image);
}
