* Package name : resize-gd Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : markus schnalke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://prog.marmaro.de/resize-gd * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : resizes images using the gd-library About the program: ------------------ The program has two modes: * aspect ratio of the images is preserved and only shrinking is done. Smaller images remain unmodified. * the images are resized to match a specific size. The images probably get stretched and enlarged. Only JPEG and PNG files are supported. The filetype is detected by the filename suffix which has to be `.jpg', `.jpeg' or `.png'. Unsupported files get skipped. All resizing is done in-place. The idea behind: ---------------------- This program is meant to be a small(er) alternative to the `mogrify -resize' command of ImageMagick. Mainly because ImageMagick has lots of dependencies, while the GD-Library has less. `resize-gd' is only for resizing images, not for doing all the other fancy stuff, that ImageMagick (or GraphicsMagick) can do. I wrote this program, because I had to install over 80MB on a fresh Debian installation, just to get a simple web gallery generator (`genwebgallery') to run. This came from its dependency on ImageMagick. (GraphicsMagick wouldn't have been better.) That is way to much, for the simple task that needs to be done: image resizing. I haven't found a small program that simply does image resizing. So I wrote that one. It uses the GD library, which is only about 1/10 in size, compared to ImageMagick. The quality seems to be slightly worse, but still good enough for most tasks (especially thumbnail generation). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
