(should really be renamed)
Available as rudimentary standalone applications, but mainly made for use in SeaPrint.
Takes a pbm, pgm or ppm (P4, P5 or P6 "raw") Netpbm bitmap image and converts to PWG or URF printer raster format.
...or a raw bitmap in the c++ api.
For debugging. Similar to rasterview, but without a GUI. Takes a PWG or URF printer raster and outputs a series of P4, P5 or P6 pbm/pgm/ppm images.
Takes a PDF document and makes it suitable for printing, by:
- rotate and scale to fit as needed to a desired page size
- convert to PDF 1.5, Postscript 2 or PWG/URF raster
Takes a JPEG and losslessly repacks it to the baseline ecoding profile, keeping only JFIF and Exif headers. Sort of like jpegtran without any arguments, but reusable in C++.
IPP-printers are only required to support baseline-encoded jpeg according to PWG5100.14.
Despite working with in-memory data, it only requires the libjpeg 62.2.0 and not 62.3.0/7.3+ API, so it works on conservative distros.
