- ImgLib is a 32-bit DLL for developers who would like to support reading,
- converting, and manipulating of all popular graphics image formats like
- BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PCX, Photo CD, and others as needed by today's multimedia
- applications. Windows 3.1 Windows 95 and Windows NT are all supported
- as target platforms. 16-bit development is supported via thunking.
- The developer of 16-bit code does not need to write any additional
- thunking code.
-
- Version 1.2 adds various bitmap manipulation functions and improved sample
- program. Unfortunately, as of this version ImgLib will not support
- file formats that employ the LZW compression algorithm.
-
- The most current version of ImgLib is available at:

- ImgLib is being offered as royalty-free shareware to provide a competitive
- alternative to many expensive commercial packages. ImgLib's attractive
- pricing is also possible because a lot of its code has been adopted from
- sources freely available on the Internet. A fully functional image
- viewing program and its source are supplied with ImgLib.
-
- Besides the ability to read the most popular raster image formats ImgLib
- offers added functionality to modify the bitmaps in memory to aid in
- displaying them on all existing Windows-capable displays with best
- possible results and without sacrificing the image quality. The following
- is a list of image formats read by ImgLib:
-
- Windows and OS/2 BMP, JPEG, PC Paintbrush (PCX), TIFF, Targa,
