The LINEAR_RGBA8888 field is a member of the ImageFormat enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. It represents an image format where the color data is stored in a linear color space with 8 bits per channel for red, green, blue, and alpha components. This format is commonly used for images that require high color fidelity and transparency support.
Use ImageFormat.LINEAR_RGBA8888 when you need to specify an image format that supports linear color space with full 8-bit precision for each color channel and alpha transparency. This is particularly useful in graphics programming where accurate color representation is crucial, such as in rendering pipelines or texture processing.
// Example of using LINEAR_RGBA8888 in a texture loading function
Texture texture = new Texture("path/to/image.png", ImageFormat.LINEAR_RGBA8888);
// This specifies that the texture should be loaded with linear RGBA format
// ensuring high color accuracy and support for transparency.
