DOWNLOAD

To keep things simple, Pixane binaries are provided in a single ZIP archive containing dynamic libraries for a very large set of platforms:

Windows (Vista/XP/2000/Me/98) - x86
Mac OS X - Universal binaries (x86/powerpc)
Linux - x86
Linux - arm
Linux - mipsel
Linux - powerpc
Windows Mobile (2003, 2003SE and 5.0) - ARM/XScale
Windows Mobile (PocketPC 2000/2002)

ZIP archive is a little bit large (6.4MiB), since it contains images for libraries for 9 different architectures. Of course, you may decide to keep only one or some dynamic libraries you need.

Each library is approximatively 1.2MiB large, and contains a full set of embedded scalable truetype fonts for pixfont command (serif, sansserif and monotype, each one in normal, bold, italic and bold italic faces). A compact built of Pixane, without those embedded fonts, uses approximatively half the size.

SYNOPSYS

Pixane is a library for image handling and transformation. It supports a large number of formats in both reading and writing modes.

Pixane has been designed to be used from a dynamic language like Tcl. It makes possible and easy to generate and transform images in scripts, and is especially useful for web developers, since it can be called as CGI.

See pixane and pixfont for reference on how to use Pixane from Tcl scripts.

Pixane standalone distribution is made of dynamic libraries with no external dependencies. It requires no installation at all, except copying the correct dynamic library for your platform anywhere and loading it into your Tcl interpreter. All shared libraries are libc agnostic as much as possible. Especially on Linux platform, all libraries should be loadable in either a uClibc or glibc based interpreter, or in tclkit.

Pixane is also part of ETcl distribution, making it easy to deploy on a large variety of platforms, including Win32, Linux and Windows Mobile 2003 (aka PocketPC).
