Description : zlib, jpeg, png and mpeg support for the Yorick language
This is a compiled add-on for yorick (an interpreted computer language
specialized for numerical and scientific problems). Yorick-z adds
support for zlib (the data compression system used by gzip), png (a
lossless image compression format), jpeg (a lossy image compression
format), and mpeg (mpeg1, a compressed video format). These are not
supported in the basic yorick distribution, because each relies on a
specialized library beyond what is required for basic yorick
functionality.
Note: MPEG support won't work out of the box.
I am packaging the new version of Yorick (2.1.02) which includes support
for plug-ins, as well as some of the available plug-ins. yorick-z is one
of them.
Regards, Thibaut.
