memory](http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php?title=Speed_and_Memory_Use).
livips is licensed under the LGPL 2.1+.
It has around 300 operations covering arithmetic, histograms, convolutions,
morphological operations, frequency filtering, colour, resampling, statistics
and others. It supports a large range of numeric formats, from 8-bit int to
128-bit complex. It supports a good range of image formats, including
JPEG, TIFF, PNG, FITS, Matlab, OpenEXR, and OpenSlide. It can also load
images via ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick.
