.SH "NAME"

giflib \- GIFLIB utilities

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP

GIFLIB is a linkable service library and a set of utilities for processing images encoded using GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)\&.

.PP

These utilities are not intended to compete with or replace multi\-format graphics toolkits like ImageMagick or the Python Imaging Library, or graphics editors such as the GIMP\&. Find one of those, or an equivalent, if you need to crop, scale, rotate, toggle interlacing, or perform other conventional image transformations\&. Rather, these are intended to facilitate GIF\-specific operations which multi\-format tools may not adequately support\&.

.PP

API documentation for the service library is best viewed through a browser at the project website: http://sourceforge\&.net/projects/giflib/?source=directory\&.
