Yes, I am a big fan of Linux and in general, of Open Source software. As you
will see by browsing my site, most of the software I have listed here I also
provide the source code for. The content of this particular page has been
targeted specifically for the Linux environment. Some of the stuff might be
very easy to port to Windows but I don't really have a use for it there so I
haven't really taken the time to try. Now that I'm putting it all on the web,
if you see something you'd like on Windows let me know and I'll look into it.
And though I'd like to say I write code not specific to one version of
Unix/Linux, there may be bugs. If you find one, let
me know.

Greyscale Image Colorizer
|
imgcolor is a command line
utility I wrote while thinking out the first design for my webpage. I wanted
to let the user customize the appearance of my webpage to an extreme new level.
Basically, imgcolor takes a greyscale image (JPEG, PNG, or XBM) and adds color
to it based on the darkness of the pixels. The program could also be used to
convert a greyscale image to another format if used correctly as well. I used
the GD graphics library (available at
www.boutell.com) because it supported the file formats I needed and was
very easy to learn. You'll need version 1.8.3 or higher (I've tested through
version 1.8.4) in order to compile/use the imgcolor utility. Here are some
pertinent links if you're interested:
