Go bindings for libimagequant
`libimagequant` is a library for lossy recompression of PNG images to reduce their filesize. It is used by the `pngquant` tool. This `go-imagequant` project is a set of bindings for libimagequant to enable its use from the Go programming language.
This binding was written by hand. The result is somewhat more idiomatic than an automated conversion, but some `defer foo.Release()` calls are required for memory management.
Written in Golang
=USAGE=
Usage example is provided by a sample utility `cmd/gopngquant` which mimics some functionality of the upstream `pngquant`.
The sample utility has the following options:
`Usage of gopngquant:
-In string
Input filename
-Out string
Output filename
-Speed int
Speed (1 slowest, 10 fastest) (default 3)
-Version`
=BUILDING=
2016-11-24 08:36:11 +00:00
The expected package path is `code.ivysaur.me/imagequant`. Build via `go build`.
2016-11-24 08:31:15 +00:00
This is a CGO package and requires a C compiler installed. However, if you use `go install` then future invocations of `go build` do not require the C compiler to be present.
The `imagequant.go` file also declares a number of `CFLAGS` for GCC that allow the included libimagequant (2.8 git-a425e83) to build in an optimal way without using the upstream configure/make scripts.
=LICENSE=
I am releasing this binding under the ISC license, however, `libimagequant` itself is released under GPLv3-or-later and/or commercial licenses. You must comply with the terms of such a license when using this binding in a Go project.
