Imlib 2 is the successor to Imlib. It is NOT a newer version - it is a
|
|
completely new library. Imlib 2 can be installed alongside Imlib 1.x
|
|
without any problems since they are effectively different libraries - BUT
|
|
they have very similar functionality.
|
|
|
|
Imlib 2 does the following:
|
|
|
|
* Load/Save image files from disk in one of many formats
|
|
* Render image data onto other images or an X-Windows drawable
|
|
* Produce pixmaps and pixmap masks of Images
|
|
* Apply filters and transformations to images
|
|
* Accept RGBA Data for images and apply colour correction/modifications
|
|
* Alpha blend Images on other images or drawables
|
|
* Render truetype anti-aliased text straight and at angles
|
|
* Render rectangles, anti-aliased lines, and multi-coloured gradients
|
|
* Cache data intelligently for maximum performance
|
|
* Allocate colours automatically
|
|
* Allow full control over caching and color allocation
|
|
* Provide highly optimized MMX assembly for core routines
|
|
* Provide plug-in filter interface
|
|
* Provide on-the-fly runtime plug-in image loading and saving interface
|
|
* Fastest image compositing, rendering and manipulation library for X
