See IMG_LoadTyped_RW.

Similar to load-rw, except you also give a hint to help SDL_image figure out what the image format is. In practice, this is only necessary when loading a TGA image from an sdl2:rwops. For other image formats you can just use load-rw instead.

type-hint must be one of the following strings (case is not important):

• "BMP"
• "CUR"
• "GIF"
• "ICO"
• "JPG"
• "LBM"
• "PCX"
• "PNG"
• "PNM"
• "TGA"
• "TIF"
• "XCF"
• "XPM"
• "XV"

Returns a sdl2:surface containing the image. Signals an exception of kind (exn sdl2) if the image could not be loaded.

• load-rw-typed returns a managed sdl2:surface.
• load-rw-typed* returns an unmanaged sdl2:surface, which must be freed with free-surface! (from the sdl2 egg) when you are done with it.
