NAME

       leptonica - image processing library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <leptonica/allheaders.h>

       cc file.c -llept

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the leptonica image processing library.

       Leptonica is a well-tested C library for some basic image processing operations, along with a description
       of the functions and some design methods. A full  set  of  affine  transformations  (translation,  shear,
       rotation,  scaling)  on  images  of  all  depths is included, with the exception that some of the scaling
       methods do not work at all depths.  There  are  also  implementations  of  binary  morphology,  grayscale
       morphology, convolution and rank order filters, and applications such as jbig2 image processing and color
       quantization. You will also find basic utilities for the  safe  and  efficient  handling  of  arrays  (of
       strings,  numbers,  number  pairs  and  image-related  geometrical objects), byte queues, generic stacks,
       generic lists, and endian-independent indexing into 32-bit arrays.

OPTIONS

       Most example programs included with leptonica will report their usage if you  try  to  run  them  on  the
       command  line  with  no  arguments. Usage varies from program to program. These are sample programs; read
       their source code if you are trying to do something similar.
