I would recommend the liblug.a library. It does all sorts of nifty 
stuff. I enclose the README file:


Hi all!, welcome to the LUG Library v1.0.

To install you only need change the files Makefile and include/lugconf.h.
Read the comments and you don't have any problem :-).

All the documentation is stored inside the doc/ directory ( read/write
subroutines, viewer functions, digital image editing procedures, compiling,
examples, etc ... ). READ IT !!!.

What you get ?

	 i . file format translators:

		- compuserve's gif
		- zsoft's pcx
		- truevision's targa
		- sgi's rgb
		- aldus-microsoft's tiff
		- alias' pix
		- wavefront's rla
		- urt's rle
		- pbm/pgm/ppm
		- rgb
		- raw
		- rayshade's heightfield
		- jpeg

	ii . image editing functions:

		- resampling
		- blur
		- sharpening
		- cut
		- paste
		- median filter
		- histogram equalization
		- ... and so on

	iii . image viewers:

		- for Silicon Graphics and IBM RISC 6000 ( GL Library )
		- for HP9000 series ( Starbase Library )
		- for any kind of X11 plattforms ( Xlib Library )
		- for PC386/486 ( GRX Library )
		- for Linux ( VGA and VGAGL libraries )


... and it's a LIBRARY!!!, not a program. You! will be the person who
write the programs.

If your machine is a PC with MSDOS, you'll need the DJGCC compiler ( or
an equivalent ).

The original site distributor of this package is telva.ccu.uniovi.es 
(156.35.31.31): /uniovi/mathdept/src/liblug-1.0.tar.gz.

Please, send me a E-mail so I can track all the users of LUG and send
you news, bugs, etc ...

LUG is free! ( what a wonderful word :-) but it's distributed under 
the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.

Please, read additional documentation for further notes.


Enjoy !.
