libAfterImage is the imaging library implemented for AfterStep X Window
|
||
|
|
Manager. It has been generalized to be suitable for any application in
|
||
|
|
need of robust graphics engine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It provides facilities for loading images from files of different formats,
|
||
|
|
compressed in memory storage of images, scaling, tinting/shading, flipping
|
||
|
|
and superimposition of arbitrary number of images over each other. In
|
||
|
|
addition it allows for linear gradients drawing, and antialiased/smoothed
|
||
|
|
text drawing using both FreeType library and X Window fonts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Primary goals of this library are to achieve exceptional quality of images
|
||
|
|
and text, making code fast and small at the same time. Additional steps are
|
||
|
|
taken to compensate for screen colordepth limitation, and different error
|
||
|
|
diffusion algorithms are used to provide for smooth images even in low
|
||
|
|
colordepth modes.
