libic - Image compositing library
|
||
|
|
||
|
libic is a generic image compositing library. libic provides
|
||
|
Porter/Duff compositing of images and implicit mask generation for
|
||
|
geometric primitives including trapezoids, triangles, and rectangles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The semantics of libic are designed to precisely match the
|
||
|
specification of the X Render extension. In fact, the initial
|
||
|
implementation of libic was lifted from the reference implementation
|
||
|
of RENDER from the X server.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, libic is intended to be useful independent of the X Window
|
||
|
System. The public interface exported by libic does not contain any
|
||
|
X-specific data structures.

Keith Packard (keithp@keithp.com) originally wrote all the original
|
||
|
RENDER code that was yanked out to become libic. Keith also provided
|
||
|
impetus and guidance in the development of libic.
