An MS-Windows (Win32) port of JbigKit-1.5 is available from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net
JBIG-KIT implements a highly effective data compression algorithm for bi-level high-resolution images such as fax pages or scanned documents. JBIG-KIT provides a portable library of compression and decompression functions with a documented interface that you can very easily include into your image or document processing software. In addition, JBIG-KIT provides ready-to-use compression and decompression programs with a simple command line interface (similar to the converters found in netpbm). Changes between 1.4 and 1.5: - fixed two minor memory leaks (special thanks to Davide Pizzolato <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for locating one of these) - jbgtopbm does not attempt any more to parse multiple concatenated BIEs (options -m must be used now to enable this feature explicitely), in order to handle BIEs with data after the last expected SDE gracefully - various extensions to improve support of JBIG fax applications (ITU-T T.85 profile): o support for maximum adaptive template pixel offset increased to MX=127 in both encoder and decoder o encoder now has a hook for producing BIEs with a NEWLEN marker segment and VLENGHTH=1, in order to assist in testing decoders for T.85 conformance (see also new pbmtojbg option -Y) o a new function jbg_newlen() can be used to scan an entire in-memory BIE for NEWLEN marker segments and update the YD value in the BIE header, which can be applied to BIE data before passing it to the decoder for T.85 compliance (Background: the incremental design of the JBIG-KIT decoder makes it infeasible to look ahead for NEWLEN marker segments that occur after the SDE with the last image line, therefore this second pass is necessary to handle the old-style fax applications permitted by T.85 in which the low-RAM encoder doesn't know the height of the image at the start of transmission) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
