SDL_image 1.2The latest version of this library is available from:http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/This is a simple library to load images of various formats as SDL surfaces.This library supports BMP, PNM (PPM/PGM/PBM), XPM, LBM, PCX, GIF, JPEG, PNG,TGA, and TIFF formats.API:#include "SDL_image.h"	SDL_Surface *IMG_Load(const char *file);or	SDL_Surface *IMG_Load_RW(SDL_RWops *src, int freesrc);or	SDL_Surface *IMG_LoadTyped_RW(SDL_RWops *src, int freesrc, char *type);where type is a string specifying the format (i.e. "PNG" or "pcx").Note that IMG_Load_RW cannot load TGA images.To create a surface from an XPM image included in C source, use:	SDL_Surface *IMG_ReadXPMFromArray(char **xpm);An example program 'showimage' is included, with source in showimage.cJPEG support requires the JPEG library: http://www.ijg.org/PNG support requires the PNG library: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html    and the Zlib library: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/TIFF support requires the TIFF library: ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/If you have these libraries installed in non-standard places, you cantry adding those paths to the configure script, e.g.sh ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/somewhere/include" LDFLAGS="-L/somewhere/lib"If this works, you may need to add /somewhere/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATHso shared library loading works correctly.This library is under the GNU Library General Public License, see the file"COPYING" for details.  Certain image loaders may be under a differentlicense, see the individual image loader source files for details.
