graphics/imlib2 1.12.5nb2 NetBSD

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
