[cairo] How to load a BMP/JPG/TGA to a Surface?

[Mj Mendoza IV]

Possibly. Though, I'm not quite sure about it since FreeBASIC renders the loaded BMP correctly.

Here's the link to FreeBASIC's sour code for the BLOAD functionality:
https://fbc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fbc/trunk/FreeBASIC/src/gfxlib2/libfb_gfx_bload.c

The function 'load_bmp' is on line 185. Maybe you could help find the bug, if there is.

Right now, I'm really hoping for unofficial patch:
* cairo_image_surface_create_from_bmp
* cairo_image_surface_create_from_jpg
* cairo_image_surface_create_from_tga

to make it easier for me and others to load images on Cairo Surface.

Regards.

It looks to me as though BLoad has included the BMP header in the
block of data it loaded.  I would talk to FreeBASIC people about that.
