imagine

Goals

• To provide image format decoders for various image formats:
  • Decoders should be possible to use without imagine doing any allocation (the user provides any necessary buffers).
  • Decoders should be simple to use when imagine is allowed to allocate for you. Functions to "just get me the RGBA8 pixels", and things like that.
• To provide image format encoders for various image formats:
  • Depending on format, a low-compression or no-compression encoder will likely be available even without imagine being allowed to allocate.
  • Depending on format, a good compressor will be available when imagine is allowed to allocate.

Status

• The following formats can be decoded, though the "easy" API for doing this isn't written yet:
  • png, bmp, Netpbm files.
• Changes are expected to break things in upcoming versions! We're 0.0.z for a reason.

There's many places for improvement, file PRs if you like!

License

All the code and docs are licensed as given in the Cargo.toml file.

However, this repository also contains a number of test images (within the tests/ directory), many of which are used under various other permissive licenses. In this case, each folder of images will have a file giving the license information. Since this library's test data is not included in your own program when you use the crate as a dependency this should not generally be a concern.
