vipsdisp VS libvips

if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

Yes, I based it partly on visual programming system that Canon made back in the 90s. I loved the interactive development, but I really disliked that style of visual programming. Lines between boxes seems very hard to reason about, to me.

nip2 tries to do something similar, but using expressions, like a spreadsheet. Unlike graphical plugs and wires, expressions allow things like copy-paste, smart refactoring, referential transparency, and progressive rewriting.

nip2 is ancient now (I finished it way back in 2002, I think). I've started a rewrite for gtk4 -- the image display window is here:

It's quite fancy -- it has a sparse pyramid of image tiles which get composited to your display by the GPU, and computed asynchronously by a libvips pipeline as you zoom and pan around. You should get a smooth 60 fps even with enormous (eg. 300,000 x 300,000 pixel) images.

After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.

h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

Try the solutions here: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/issues/2479

in that case maybe take a look at https://github.com/libvips/libvips

libvips v8.6+ or ImageMagick for image analysis and transformations
