Welcome to PixMod

PixMod is a program that allows your average programmer to easily create image manipulation software in any language.

The first version is a command-line app written for Windows but the plan is to port it to Unix and Linux so you can also run it on Apple OS X.

The front-end is written in C++ and uses IronStone to read/write different graphic file formats like bmp, jpeg, gif, tif, etc. IronStone also has many built-in image manipulation functionality PixMod can use.

PixMod uses the file system to pass the image between the front-end and modules. It uses an XML file format but the pixel data is binary stored as Red, Green, Blue byte triplets.

This blog follows the development of PixMod.
