README

A libvips driver for the Mako Pixel image processing library.

The package provides a high-performance libvips backend for common image transformation and processing tasks, while integrating with Pixel's shared API for images, colors, geometry, operations, and inspectors.

Requirements

• FFI enabled
• libvips installed on the system

This package is built on top of jcupitt/vips, which uses FFI to communicate with libvips.

libvips is not bundled with this package and must be installed separately.

The libvips package name varies between operating systems and distributions. The following are examples and may differ depending on your system and the version of libvips available.

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libvips42

macOS

brew install vips

See the libvips installation documentation for further instructions.

Installation
