vertical_flip is up_side_down? Mhmm, is it just me or is this counterintuitive?
hehe, various people, various conventions - it looks like FreeImage (once more) has a similar notion than mine - it looks like this function is a good candidate to be renamed to 'flip_upside_down' then !
Let me know how it goes.
Sure, I got to find some spare time to integrate the changes.
The io_new extension depends already on libjpeg, libpng, and libtiff.
OK, I didn't get that there were external dependencies.
FWIW, a potential freeimage extension should have the same interface as the current io_new interface.
Fair enough, could you point me to some documentation that describes the public interface of io_new library ? I'll see if I can conform to it.
That's why I thought of adding it to io_new. On the contrary, image magick might be even better since has many more formats. Just to get the gil::io stuff over and down with. I mean boost would have all the necessary formats available.
At the expense of additional external dependencies, yes. ImageMagick could be another candidate, or XnView API, or DevIL, or OpenImageIO - there are many flavours out there, depending on features required by people - it would be hard to match everyone needs. I'm pretty glad with FreeImage right now for my needs, so I'm not ready to invest time elsewhere. Cheers, Nicolas.
