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

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

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