CamlImages is an image processing library, which provides to the objective Caml programmer a lot of image processing functionality. The version 2.2 is a stable development release: - complete code review and rewriting of files (including auxilliaries such as Makefiles and configuration files). - better integration with the rest of the Objective Caml system by renaming of the main module, originally named "Image", into the new module name "Images". This solves a long standing problem of name clashes with other module names provided by other libraries. However, this is not backward compatible and you will have to modify your old programs according to the new naming scheme: you must change references to Image.x into references to Images.x (and similarly from oImage.x to oImages.x). As usual, the Caml compiler will help a lot to point out obsolete name occurrences. - the whole set of compiled files are now installed in the library installation directory (generally /usr/local/lib/ocaml/camlimages). - a new export for the Ps module: get_bounding_box : string -> bounding_box returns he bounding box option of a postscript file image. CamlImages provides to the objective Caml programmer: ** basic functions for image processing and loading/saving various image file formats (hence providing a translation facility from format to format), ** an interface with the Caml graphics library allows to display images in the Graphics module screen and to mix them with Caml drawings, ** a freetype interface, integrated into the library: you can draw texts into images using any truetype fonts, ** a set of example programs, including gif animation, slide show, and a postscript converter to print images.
