This is a modified version of John Bradley's original XV tool for image display and
processing. The modification (kind of) makes XV work with
version 1.6 of libpng library. The modified version has been very superficially tested on Linux
Kubuntu 18.04. It succeeded in both writing and reading images in PNG format, but no claims are made as to the usability of the code.
The source code is posted here with the kind permission from John Bradley. Please refer to
the
original XV page
and to the original README file
for information on copyrights and licensing of this program. Additional
copyright info can also be found inside the source code.
Note: the Makefile has been modified to avoid building the TIFF module because I could not
get it built on my system. Which means that this version of XV will not work with TIFF format.
