#ifndef __GRAB_XIMAGE_H__
#define __GRAB_XIMAGE_H__

/* Grabs an image of the desktop (or another random image file) and
   loads the image into GL's texture memory.  Most of the work is done
   in the background; when the image has been loaded, a callback is run.

   As a side-effect, that image *may* be painted onto the given Window.

   If mipmap_p is true, then make mipmaps instead of just a single texture.

   If desired_width/height are non-zero, then (if possible) the image
   will be scaled to fit in that rectangle.  If they are 0, then the size
   of the window is used.  These parameters are so that you can hint to
   the image loader that smaller images are acceptable (if you will never
   be displaying the texture at 100% magnification, you can get away with
   smaller textures.)

   Returns the sizes of various things:

      texture_width/height: The size of the texture itself, in pixels.
                            This will often be larger than the grabbed
                            image, since OpenGL sometimes requires texture
                            dimensions to be a power of 2.

      image_width/height:   The size of the image: this will usually be the
                            same as the desired_width/height you passed in
                            (but may be the size of the Window instead.)

      geometry:             The position in the texture of the image bits.
                            When image files are loaded, they are scaled up
                            to the size of the window, but if the image does
                            not have the same aspect ratio as the window,
                            there will be black bars on the top/bottom or
                            left/right.  This geometry specification tells
                            you where the "real" image bits are.

   So, don't use texture coordinates from 0.0 to 1.0.  Instead use:

      [0.0 - iw/tw]         If you want to display a quad that is the same
      [0.0 - ih/th]         size as the window; or

      [gx/tw - (gx+gw)/tw]  If you want to display a quad that is the same
      [gy/th - (gy+gh)/th]  size as the loaded image file.

   When the callback is called, the image data will have been loaded
   into texture number `texid' (via glBindTexture.)

   If an error occurred, width/height will be 0.
