Ilib Description

Ilib is a library designed to read, create, manipulate and save images. It is capable of using X11 BDF fonts for drawing text. (X11 BDF fonts are part of the UNIX-based X11 Windows System, original developed at MIT in the early 1990s.) That means you get lots (208, to be exact) of fonts to use. You can even create your own if you know how to create an X11 BDF font. It can read and write PPM, XPM, GIF, PNG and JPG image format. There is a Perl module included with the distribution. It does not yet support the complete Ilib API, but it's a start. What can I use it for? It's great for generating graphs and creating GIF output from CGIs. There are also some useful applications bundled with it. For example, there's a tool for generating index images (aka "thumbnails").
