TGA (AKA Truevision TGA, AKA TARGA), is a raster image file format created by Truevision. It supports up to 32 bits per pixel (three 8-bit RGB channels + 8-bit alpha channel), color mapping and optional lossless RLE compression.
This page hosts a formal specification of TGA (AKA Truevision TGA, AKA TARGA) raster image file format using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for Java generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Java runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The Java runtime library is published in the Maven Central Repository. Refer to the artifact page for instructions how to add it into your project with the build tool that you use.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
Tga data = Tga.fromFile("path/to/local/file.tga");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
Tga data = new Tga(new ByteBufferKaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:
data.numColorMap() // => Number of entries in a color map
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
