About libpipi

Libpipi is a graphics imaging library. It stands for "Proper Image Processing Implementation".

Amongst the goals of libpipi are:

  • implement state-of-the art image manipulation algorithms
  • reimplement ImageMagick? (and its derivatives) with speed and quality in mind
  • serve as a fundation library for PWNtcha, img2oric? and other projects, maybe libcucul?

Status

Libpipi is still at the experimentation stage. There is still a long way until we even have a working prototype.

We are already significantly faster than ImageMagick? for some very common tasks (Gaussian blur) and we implement better quality algorithms (Direct Binary Search halftoning).

The current source code can be downloaded from svn://libcaca.zoy.org/libcaca/libpipi/trunk/
