The RGBA16161616F_EXPAND field is a member of the ImageFormat enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. This format represents a 64-bit floating-point RGBA image format where each channel (Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha) is stored as a 16-bit floating-point value. The _EXPAND suffix indicates that this format is used for expanded color ranges, which can be useful for high dynamic range (HDR) imaging.
Use the RGBA16161616F_EXPAND format when you need to handle images with a wide range of color values and require high precision for each color channel. This format is particularly suitable for applications involving HDR rendering or image processing where color accuracy and range are critical.
// Example of using RGBA16161616F_EXPAND in a texture creation
Texture texture = new Texture();
texture.Format = ImageFormat.RGBA16161616F_EXPAND;
texture.LoadFromFile("path/to/hdr_image.hdr");
