Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 1.7.8
Release     : 4.fc12
URL         : http://openil.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : A cross-platform image library
Description :
Developer's Image Library (DevIL) is a programmer's library to develop
applications with very powerful image loading capabilities, yet is easy for a
developer to learn and use. Ultimate control of images is left to the
developer, so unnecessary conversions, etc. are not performed. DevIL utilizes
a simple, yet powerful, syntax. DevIL can load, save, convert, manipulate,
filter and display a wide variety of image formats.
