    Background

    -

    When creating various libraries and small tools that deal with - computer graphics I have often created function for converting - raster images between different representations.

    - -

    Libraries to help with such conversions already do exist, but no - extendable candidate have surfaced in my searches. -

    - -

    The vocabulary developed in babl will most likely be part of - GEGL's vocabulary to describe image - buffers. -

    How babl works

    -

    When using BablFishes to do your conversions, you request a fish to - convert between two formats, and an optimal fish to babls capability is - provided that you can use to do your conversions. Babl also provides - the capability to describe new formats based on a vocbulary of user - registered color models and data types. -

    - -

    Babl provides a base vocabulary in BablBase and some extensions - thar are thought to be generally useful.

    - -

    When performing further extensions to the vocabulary of babl, the - internal consistency is governed by reference conversions that operate - on double (64 bit floating point values.) The only color model - created during BablCore bootstrap is RGBA (linear light RGB, - 0.0 - 1.0, with a linear 0.0 - 1.0 opacity channel.) backed by - the double datatype. -

    - -

    If babls conversion isn't fast enough, you can provide - your own conversion shortcut between two formats. The registered - shortcut might also be used by babl as an intermediate conversion when - constructing BablFishes for other conversions. -

    - -

    Babl extensions are shared objects, if you already have developed - some fast conversion functions, wrapping them as babl extensions should - not take much time, and will speed up babl for other users as well you - make the conversions available for others as well. -
