This PR makes the
EncoderAPI easier to use with 2 changes:Encoder::new_imageis a new factory method to create an encoder for an image without going through theHeaderAPI.Together, the most common use case (saving a single DDS image with optional mipmaps) has become 3 lines of code:
This also makes it easier to teach how to use the
EncoderAPI. I can do more progressive disclosure, since the common case no longer involves manually creating aHeaderand automatic mipmap generation just does the right thing by default. If users need more control, they can dive deeper into the API at their own pace.
