The new version of MXLib is now posted. New in this version:

  • Integration of FreeImage into MXLib. New functions ImRead() and ImWrite() use the FreeImage library to load and save image files such as .bmp, .jpg, .tiff, etc. Integrates seamlessly with the MXMatrix class and will by default flip the images over and reorder the color channels to match how the data would be structured after loading the image file in MatLab®. Will handle just about anything that FreeImage does except for greyscale images with alpha channels. Includes a prebuilt 64-bit library and DLL for Windows because they sometimes have trouble doing this. Linux developers will have to use/make their own. To learn more about FreeImage, go to:

  • New simple TIC-TOC style timers for Linux and Windows.

  • Some of bug fixes.

For the near future there will be few additions to the IPP wrapper code unless I receive a specific request for something. Most/all work will now shift to creating a C++ wrapper around NVidia's NPP library integrated with the IPP part of MXLib.
