hermes Description

Hermes is a graphics library designed to do a very limited number of things and do them very well. Hermes is a graphics library designed to do a very limited number of things and do them very well. It is also very easy to incorporate Hermes into existing code. Hermes is intended for use either directly in an application program or inside another graphics library. Released under the Library GNU Public License (LGPL), it is open source and under continual improvement. The long feature list includes things like:Palette handlingClearing surfaces to a specific colorHighlights are:Conversion of images from one format to anotherConverting to/from many common formats using special, optimized conversion routinesAutomatic fallback to generic conversion routines if there is no specialized routineStretching images between conversion when possibleAutomatic dithering if requestedAll features are implemented using an internal caching system, drastically improving the performance of common operations such as table lookups. In addition, on MMX systems, Hermes can use optimized MMX assembler to further improve performance. It's portable across many systems:Linux/FreeBSD: Uses assembler routines on Intel/Intel-compatible architecturesOther UNIX systems: Doesn't use assembler, though it is compatible with big-endian systemsDOS and Watcom C or DJGPP: Uses assembler routinesWindows and Visual C++: Uses assembler routines
