Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install zimg on Fedora 34.

What is `zimg`

The “z” library implements the commonly required image processing basics of scaling, color space conversion, and depth conversion. A simple API enables conversion between any supported formats to operate with minimal knowledge from the programmer. All library routines were designed from the ground-up with correctness, flexibility, and thread-safety as first priorities. Allocation, buffering, and I/O are cleanly separated from processing, allowing the programmer to adapt “z” to many scenarios. zimg 3.0.1 3.fc34 x86_64 289 k zimg-3.0.1-3.fc34.src.rpm fedora Scaling, color space conversion, and dithering library https WTFPL The “z” library implements the commonly required image processing basics of scaling, color space conversion, and depth conversion.
