JIU - Java Imaging Utilities - README file JIU is a Java library to load, process, analyze and save pixel images. The project's Web site is at <http://jiu.sourceforge.net/>. In 2009 the JIU project, which seems to have been unmaintained for a while, was picked up by a new author (Knut Arild Erstad) and is back on SourceForge. Please understand that I do not have full knowledge of the library, and have not been able to contact the original author. A new maintainer naturally also means that priorities will change, so take the TODO list with more than a grain of salt. If you want to give feedback (questions, suggestions, bug reports), please write a message on the Open Discussion Forum at <http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=51534>. Please check the subjects, the question you want to ask may already have been answered. The library is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2. See the LICENSE file that is part of the distribution or visit <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>. Documentation right now consists of the following items: * ChangeLog - changes in reverse chronological order * TODO - what's to be changed / added / removed next * API docs - the classes, their methods and fields, as HTML / PDF / PS / DVI * Manual - a general introduction (only in an early stage) In order to get an impression of what JIU can do, check out the jiuawt demo. Version 0.15 also contains new functionality which is currently not part of the jiuawt demo, it was move from the Blimp photo editor, available from <https://projects.boblycat.org/blimp/>. In order to test jiuawt with your own image files, start the jiuawt demo program that is part of the library. You must have a Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or higher installed (typing "java -version" on the command line should tell you whether you have one and which version it is). Once you have downloaded and decompressed the JIU distribution archive (the .tar.bz2 file), go to the directory where you have decompressed it. That directory will contain jiu.jar. Start it * by typing "run-jiuawt.bat" (under Windows only), * by typing "java -jar jiu.jar", * by double-clicking on jiu.jar in a file manager or * by typing "java -cp jiu.jar net.sourceforge.jiu.apps.jiuawt". Note that by default Java VMs only get to use a certain amount of memory. With images one easily reaches that limit. Provide the VM with more memory by starting it with -mx<MB>m as parameter between java and -cp (or -jar). So java -mx256m -jar jiu.jar would start the program and give 256 MB to it. You may want to adjust that value according to your needs.
