DESCRIPTION

14       Initializes the image addon.  This registers bitmap format handlers for
15       al_load_bitmap(3), al_load_bitmap_f(3), al_save_bitmap(3), al_save_bit‐
16       map_f(3).
17
18       The  following types are built into the Allegro image addon and guaran‐
19       teed to be available: BMP, DDS, PCX, TGA.  Every platform also supports
20       JPEG and PNG via external dependencies.
21
22       Other  formats  may  be available depending on the operating system and
23       installed libraries, but are not guaranteed and should not  be  assumed
24       to be universally available.
25
26       The DDS format is only supported to load from, and only if the DDS file
27       contains textures compressed in the DXT1, DXT3 and DXT5 formats.   Note
28       that when loading a DDS file, the created bitmap will always be a video
29       bitmap and will have the pixel format matching the format in the file.
