A port of the python library fabulous to C
The python library fabulous is as the name implies, fabulous. however it hasn't seen an update in a while. libfab is a port of the core functionality of fabulous to C. Once it is ported wrappers to other languages can be made. I'm working on this to improve my knowledge of C, and to improve upon a library I enjoy using.
- ImageMagick
You can use either make
or tup to build
libfab.
To use tup, clone it git clone https://github.com/gittup/tup
and use
their bootstrap.sh
script to build the tup binary.
Once tup is built, you need to run tup init
the first time, then all
subsequent builds you can use tup upd
or just tup
to rebuild libfab and its
libraries.
In order to run the unit tests you will need to install CUnit.

The original Fabulous was a huge inspiration, and the existing code was a huge help in writing libfab
The xterm, RGB conversion code, the algorithm for rendering images in the terminal, and the rest of fabulous were created by Justine Tunney.
