Method loadImageTGA

core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java:5764–5952

Targa image loader for RLE-compressed TGA files. Rewritten for 0115 to read/write RLE-encoded targa images. For 0125, non-RLE encoded images are now supported, along with images whose y-order is reversed (which is standard for TGA files). A version of this function is in MovieMaker.java. Any
