This package contains the EGL utility library.
BPG (Better Portable Graphics) is a new image format. Its purpose is to
replace the JPEG image format when quality or file size is an issue. Its
main advantages are:
- High compression ratio. Files are much smaller than JPEG for similar
quality.
- Supported by most Web browsers with a small Javascript decoder (gzipped
size: 56 KB).
- Based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression standard.
- Supports the same chroma formats as JPEG (grayscale, YCbCr 4:2:0, 4:2:2,
4:4:4) to reduce the losses during the conversion. An alpha channel is
supported. The RGB, YCgCo and CMYK color spaces are also supported.
- Native support of 8 to 14 bits per channel for a higher dynamic range.
- Lossless compression is supported.
- Various metadata (such as EXIF, ICC profile, XMP) can be included.
- Animation support.
libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels,
so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is
not unlike the famous AAlib library, with the following improvements:
* Unicode support
* 2048 available colours (some devices can only handle 16)
* dithering of colour images
* advanced text canvas operations (blitting, rotations)
libdmtx - software for reading and writing Data Matrix barcodes
libdmtx is open source software for reading and writing Data Matrix
barcodes on Linux, Unix, OS X, Windows, and certain mobile devices. At
its core libdmtx is a shared library, allowing C/C++ programs to use its
capabilities without restrictions or overhead.
Data Matrix barcodes are two-dimensional symbols that hold a dense
pattern of data with built-in error correction. The Data Matrix
symbology (sometimes casually referred to as "DataMatrix") was invented
and released into the public domain by RVSI Acuity CiMatrix.
Userspace interface to kernel DRM (Direct Rendering Module) services.
libEMF is a C/C++ library which provides a drawing toolkit
based on ECMA-234. The general purpose of this library is
to create vector graphics files on POSIX systems which can
be imported into StarOffice/OpenOffice.
Libgeotiff is a library for reading and writing GeoTIFF information tags.
GeoTIFF is a TIFF based interchange format for georeferenced raster imagery.
This package contains the GL API utility library.
This package contains the GL ES v2 utility library.
GLText is a portable font rendering library for C++ OpenGL applications. It
uses FreeType2 to read and render high-quality TrueType fonts with a minimal
footprint. With just a few easy lines of C++, you can add gorgeously
rendered text to your graphical applications.
GLText is an open source project licensed under the LGPL. Basically this means
that you can use and link your application with it regardless of what license
your application uses. If you make changes to GLText, however,
you must make those changes open source under the LGPL.
Written with portablility in mind, GLText works on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and
IRIX - virtually anywhere that FreeType2 supports.
