| 22 | :: Comparison to qPDFView ::
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | Both Lucide and qPDFView utilize the poppler library for rendering PDFs.
|
|---|
| 25 | Internal differences between the two program result in some rendering more
|
|---|
| 26 | quickly in one program vs the other. Overall, we feel that Lucide has a more
|
|---|
| 27 | OS/2-like - or native - feel to its interface, and is better suited to the
|
|---|
| 28 | operating system. The choice is left entirely to the user as to which is
|
|---|
| 29 | better suited to his needs.

| 88 | GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) is a library for handling many different bitmap
|
|---|
| 89 | file formats. It comes with a set of useful command line tools for doing bitmap
|
|---|
| 90 | manipulations and format conversion. In this version BMP, JPG, JP2, PNG, TIF,
|
|---|
| 91 | PBM, PGM, PPM, PNM, XPM, JBG and RAW support is additionally included.

|
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 | N.B.: If using GBM to render JPG images, it is advised to disable the JPG
|
|---|
| 96 | plugin which ships with Lucide to avoid conflicts (see ticket #236). This may
|
|---|
| 97 | be accimplished by simply renaming lujpeg.dll in the Lucide program directory
|
|---|
| 98 | to lujpeg.dl_ when Lucide is not running. To re-enable the included JPG plugin,
|
|---|
| 99 | simply rename the file to its original name and start Lucide.
