imlib-1.9.14: description + notes
Version 1 of imlib is depreciated. Please port
applications to some other image library (Imlib2, gtk-pixbuf, whatever...).
Also note that gdk-imlib WILL NOT WORK with GTK2. It won't even compile.
This is not a bug. This is a feature. If you need an image loader for GTK2,
use gtk-pixbuf.
Imlib is a general Image loading and rendering library designed to
make the task of loading images, and obtaining X-Windows drawables a
simple task, as well as a quick one. It also aims to provide simple
manipulation routines that might be desired for common operations.
Imlib is an advanced replacement library for libraries like
libXpm that provides many more features with much
greater flexability and speed. If you wish to find out more please
read the Imlib tutorial, as it
will explain in detail about Imlib, what it does and how it works
and how to program using Imlib. It is also the first stop for any
programmer if they wish to program using Imlib.
Developers intending to use this distribution
for application development should be sure to read the information
in FAQ 3.8.
