Description: ASTC image compression and decompression library headers
The Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC) format, developed by
Arm® and AMD, has been adopted as an official extension to the Open GL®,
OpenGL ES, and Vulkan® graphics APIs. It provides a major step forward
both in terms of image quality at a given bitrate, and in terms of the
format and bitrate flexibility available to content creators. This
allows more assets to use compression, often at a reduced bitrate
compared to legacy formats, reducing memory bandwidth and energy
consumption.
.
This package provides the development headers to include ASTC support
in other applications.
