Ilib - Image Library for Go

Ilib - Image Library for Go

Copyright (C) 2001-2022 Craig Knudsen, [email protected] http://github.com/craigk5n/ilibgo

Ilib is a library (and some tools and examples) written in Go that can read, create, manipulate and save images. It is capable of using X11 BDF fonts for drawing text. That means you get lots of fonts to use. You can even create your own if you know how to create an X11 BDF font. It should be able to read any image file that the base Go image package supports.

History

This code was ported to Go from the original version in C. The API remains very close to the original C code. All the functions dropped the "I" at the start since Go supports namespaces. The original C library was modeled after the X11 functions, documented here as man pages.

BDF Fonts

Additional BDF Fonts can be found at: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/font

Note that fonts can be loaded as external fonts at run-time, or fonts can be embedded in the binary by using the bdftogo tool included in this package.

Note that some of the BDF fonts are bundled with this package. Please see the COPYING notice
