The LINEAR_ABGR8888 field is a member of the ImageFormat enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. This field represents an image format where the color channels are stored in a linear color space with the order of Alpha, Blue, Green, and Red, each channel being 8 bits in size. This format is useful for applications that require linear color processing, such as certain graphics rendering tasks.
Use ImageFormat.LINEAR_ABGR8888 when you need to specify an image format that uses linear color space with 8 bits per channel in the ABGR order. This is particularly useful in graphics programming where linear color space is required for accurate color blending and lighting calculations.
// Example of using LINEAR_ABGR8888 in a texture loading function
Texture texture = Texture.Load("path/to/texture.png", ImageFormat.LINEAR_ABGR8888);
// This specifies that the texture should be loaded using the LINEAR_ABGR8888 format
// ensuring that the color data is processed in a linear color space.
