What is it
jpeg 6b implements JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG
(pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for full-color
and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing "real-world" scenes;
line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong
suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not exactly identical
to the input image. Hence you must not use JPEG if you have to have identical
output bits. However, on typical photographic images, very good compression
levels can be obtained with no visible change, and remarkably high compression
levels are possible if you can tolerate a low-quality image.
This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive
compression processes. Provision is made for supporting all variants of these
processes, although some uncommon parameter settings aren't implemented yet.
This library is required by several of the graphics tools on this Solaris
Package Archive.
