October 17, 2022

This package contains UVAtlas, a shared source library for creating and packing an isochart texture atlas.

This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2019 (16.11), Visual Studio 2022, or clang for Windows v11 or later. Use of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update SDK (19041) or later is required.

These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the legacy DirectX SDK. For details, see Where is the DirectX SDK?.

Release Notes

• Starting with the December 2020 release, this library makes use of typed enum bitmask flags per the recommendation of the C++ Standard section 17.5.2.1.3 Bitmask types. This is consistent with Direct3D 12's use of the DEFINE_ENUM_FLAG_OPERATORS macro. This may have breaking change impacts to client code:

  • You cannot pass the 0 literal as your option flags value. Instead you must make use of the appropriate default enum value: UVATLAS_DEFAULT or UVATLAS_IMT_DEFAULT.

  • Use the enum type instead of DWORD if building up flags values locally with bitmask operations. For example, UVATLAS options = UVATLAS_DEFAULT; if (...) options |= UVATLAS_GEODESIC_FAST;

• The UWP projects and the Win10 classic desktop project include configurations for the ARM64 platform. Building these requires installing the ARM64 toolset.

• When using clang/LLVM for the ARM64 platform, the Windows 11 SDK (22000) is required.
