Bug#943809: ITP: ruby-chunky-png -- Pure ruby library for read/write, chunk-level access to PNG files



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Samyak Jain <samyak.jn11@gmail.com>

* Package name : ruby-chunky-png Version : 1.3.11 Upstream Author : 2010-2019, Willem van Bergen <willem@vanbergen.org>
* URL : https://github.com/wvanbergen/chunky_png * License : Expat  Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Pure ruby library for read/write, chunk-level access to PNG files

This pure Ruby library can read and write PNG images without depending
 on an external image library, like RMagick. It tries to be memory
 efficient and reasonably fast.
 .
 It supports reading and writing all PNG variants that are defined in the
 specification, with one limitation: only 8-bit color depth is supported.
 It supports all transparency, interlacing and filtering options the PNG
 specifications allows. It can also read and write textual metadata from
 PNG files. Low-level read/write access to PNG chunks is also possible.
 .
 This library supports simple drawing on the image canvas and simple
 operations like alpha composition and cropping. Finally, it can import
 from and export to RMagick for interoperability.
 .
 Also, have a look at OilyPNG at http://github.com/wvanbergen/oily_png.
 OilyPNG is a drop in mixin module that implements some of the
 ChunkyPNG algorithms in C, which provides a massive speed boost to
 encoding and decoding.

It is a dependency for diaspora and hence needs to be packaged.
Thanks,
Samyak Jain
