Note that this package -has potential patent problems: giflib incorporates the LZW compression -algorithm whose patent is currently held by Unisys. - -The tools include programs to clip, rotate, scale, and position -GIF images. It includes code to dump GIFs to an Epson-compatible printer -in graphics mode, and several conversion utilities. - -The library includes program-callable entry points for reading and writing -GIF files, an 8x8 utility font for embedding text in GIFs, and an error -handler. GIF manipulation can be done at a relatively low level by -sequential I/O (which automatically does/undoes image compression) or at -a higher level by slurping an entire GIF into allocated core. |
