A free software that enables users to efficiently read and write BMP files with ease.
EasyBMP is a cross-platform C++ library for reading and writing Windows bitmap (BMP) files, making it an easy image input/output tool for scientists and other technically-minded people who may not be formally trained in programming. It is small in size, easy to use, and does not require external libraries or installation.
One of the key features of EasyBMP is its no-installation requirement. Because bitmap I/O is so simple, the library only requires that the header files be copied to the directory of your project. Additionally, EasyBMP does not depend on external special libraries, such as GTK or QT, ensuring smooth and easy usage.
EasyBMP is also cross-platform compatible, making it suitable for various operating systems and processor architectures without requiring modifications. Although the library currently only works on any little-endian architecture, the code relies solely on standard C++ language features and no external libraries, making it possible to port it to big-endian platforms soon.
EasyBMP attains its goal of being easy to compile code with its straightforward approach. All you have to do is include EasyBMP.h in your project and compile as you normally would, without the need for linking to external objects or modules.
Considering that the size of the library should be kept small and simple, EasyBMP only takes up about 49 KB of space. In compliance with this philosophy, the core library will always be kept under 50-60 KB in size. Additionally, the code is well-documented, with a complete user's manual provided, along with frequent updates and examples to illustrate usage.
Overall, EasyBMP is a user-friendly and versatile software that simplifies the process of reading and writing BMP files, having all the essential features needed for programmers and non-programmers alike.
