Product Description
Product Description
44291-3 Leverage the power of XIE image processing in your X Windows applications! The XIE extension to X Windows enables developers to quickly create robust, highly-efficient image display and enhancement software. Developing Imaging Applications with XIElib is the first book to deliver practical answers, hands-on guidance, strategies and XIElib sample code for solving real image processing problems. The book starts with an overview of image processing for developers new to the field. Next, it introduces XIElib and the problems it is intended to solve. The book covers all critical aspects of XIElib development, including: *Working with photoflos and resources *New high-level routines that simplify I/O *Importing and exporting images in multiple graphics formats *Managing process elements *XIElib event and error handling *Making sure that image data is compatible with the colormap and visual of a window You'll find never-before-published guidance on essential XIElib techniques such as dithering, colorspaces, geometry, and image encoding and decoding-with especially detailed coverage of JPEG.Several complete sample clients are provided in the book and on CD-ROM, both to illustrate XIElib client writing and provide a starting point for your own applications. XIE represents a breakthrough in image processing, but practical developer's information about it has been scarce-until now. Developing Imaging Applications with XIElib gives you the information, tools and sample code you need to create XIElib visual applications more powerful than you ever imagined.

This book is absolutely amazing. Before I read it, I hadn't a clue about what so-called "XIE" was or what you could do with it. Now, after reading this masterpiece of a work, I still don't know much about it, but I'm developing my very own imaging applications and making a lot of money -- in little time! Thanks Syd Logan!

This book is Fantastic with a capital F! Before I picked up this book, I had no idea what this so-called "XIE" was or what it could do. Now, having read this book, I'm considered the local X(ie)Pert (get it?), the imaging applications that I'm developing are bringing in tons of cash - in little time! Thanks Syd Logan!
