GUatu is a comic book viewer that uses GTK and OpenGL technology to provide a high-quality reading experience. It is designed for optimal performance and easy navigation, making it a popular choice for comic book enthusiasts.
GUatu comes equipped with an intuitive click-and-drag interface that makes it easy to navigate through your comic book files. Its hardware rendering and image precaching features ensure that images load quickly no matter how large the file is. Further enhancing the user experience are hardware rotation and zoom capabilities via bilinear interpolation, allowing you to zoom in to arbitrary amounts, by steps of 10%, or fit to window width, height, or size.
The software's name is sure to catch your attention, but its functionality is what sets it apart. You need an OpenGL implementation, gtk, and GtkGLExt to install it. To get started, simply follow these steps:
$ tar -xzvf GUatu-0.81.tgz
$ cd GUatu
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
In the latest release, the included guatu.desktop file has been fixed, and the 'Fit ____" feature is now persistent. All in all, GUatu is a solid choice for those in need of a reliable and fast comic book viewer.
