Vips

Gem Version Test

This gem is a backwards compatible fork of ruby-vips but also includes (and compiles) the libvips source code.

libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. Compared to similar libraries, libvips runs quickly and uses little memory. libvips is licensed under the LGPL 2.1+.

Installation

$ bundle add vips

You'll still need to install glib and gobject-introspection.

Usage

Exactly the same way as ruby-vips.

  4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
  5. Create new Pull Request

Documentation

There are full API docs for ruby-vips on rubydoc. This sometimes has issues updating, so we have a copy on the gh-pages for this site as well, which should always work.

See the Vips section in the docs for a tutorial introduction with examples.

The libvips reference manual has a complete explanation of every method.

The example/ directory has some simple example programs.
