libAfterImage
is a generic image manipulation library.
It was initially implemented to address AfterStep Window Manager's needs for
image handling, but it evolved into extremely powerfull and flexible software, suitable for virtually any project
that has needs for loading, manipulating, displaying images, as well as writing images in files. Most of the popular
image formats are supported using standard libraries, with XCF, XPM, PPM/PNM,
BMP and ICO being supported internally. Powerfull text rendering capabilities included, providing support for TrueType fonts using FreeType library, and antialiasing of standard fonts from X window system. Primary design goals of libAfterImage are memory efficiency and superior image quality. Extensive documentation, examples, and XML image scripting tool ascompose, are included with the library. |
