package imagelib

The imagelib library implements image formats such as PNG, BMP, and PPM in OCaml, relying on only one external dependency: 'decompress'.

Unix-dependent functionality such as reading or writing to files in the filesystem are packaged separately in the 'imagelib-unix' OPAM package.

Supported image formats:

• PNG (full implementation of RFC 2083),
• PPM, PGM, PBM, ... (fully supported),
• BMP (read-only)
• JPG (only image size natively, conversion to PNG otherwise),
• GIF (only image size natively, conversion to PNG otherwise),
• XCF (only image size natively, conversion to PNG otherwise),
• Utility functions for handling unimplemented formats are available in the 'imagelib-unix' OPAM package. See that package description for more info.

As imagelib only requires 'decompress', it can be used together with js_of_ocaml to compile projects to Javascript, or from MirageOS unikernels.
