Title: WHICH IS EASIER FREEIMAGE OR OPENIL
Post by: TexasPete on May 12, 2008, 05:56:43 AM
i WANT TO MAKE A SMALL IMAGE CONVERSION PROGRAM. Does anybody have any advice on which image library would be easier to use.  I am a beginner at eb but I have programed in several other basics. Also, has any body written a wrapper.

Sincerely, Texas Pete

OpenIL (now called DevIL I believe) had wrappers written for IBasic Pro which would be 100% compatible with EBasic.
I used it for an image manipulation program I wrote to support my genealogy work.

It was easy enough to use.

Sure, I'll try to answer but if you ask questions here on the forum more people could possibly answer and more people will learn.

Yes
If I remember correctly you have to supply people the full code for OpenIL/DevIL.
I believe Todd Riggins wrote the IBasic wrappers.  I don't remember any restrictions he placed on his contribution.
