friday-juicypixels
This library facilitates conversion between friday
(an all-Haskell image manipulation library) and
JuicyPixels (an all-Haskell encoder/decoder
library for many image formats). Combining these two libraries is useful for adding basic
image manipulation capabilities of many image formats to a Haskell application without
requiring any C libraries/headers to be installed.
NOTE: Expect this library’s API to break, as it is still very young.
Compared to friday-devil
The friday-devil
package provides a storage backend to friday
by calling the
DevIL library. It is much more mature, and probably
a lot faster (though benchmarks have yet to prove this).
This package is not in the spirit of friday-devil
which is a more native bridge than
conversion . As such, it should probabably be called something different like
juicy-friday
.
TODO
- Make it into a storage backend that automatically converts all formats and
color spaces supported by
JuicyPixels
to the internal representations
supported by friday
.
- Add some benchmarks. Include
friday-devil
and ImageMagik.
- Add more specs.
Done:
- Conversion between JP and Friday for cheap using
coerce
and unsafeCoerce
, yay!
- Basic test suite.
