What is it? Ilib is a library (and some tools and examples) written in C that can read, create, manipulate and save images. It is capable of using X11 BDF fonts for drawing text. (X11 BDF fonts are part of the UNIX-based X11 Windows System, original developed at MIT in the early 1990s.) That means you get lots (208, to be exact) of fonts to use. You can even create your own if you know how to create an X11 BDF font. It can read and write PPM, XPM, GIF, PNG and JPG image format. -What is it Ilib is a library (and some tools and examples) written in C that can read, create, manipulate and save images.
