Interface to the KDE Image IO plugin architecture.
</p>
<p> This library allows KDE applications to read and write images in a
variety of formats, transparently via the <A HREF="../../../../../../../../../usr/share/doc/qt-2.3.1/html/qimage.html">QImage</A> and <A HREF="../../../../../../../../../usr/share/doc/qt-2.3.1/html/qpixmap.html">QPixmap</A> load
and save methods.
</p>
<p> The image processing backends are written as image handlers compatible
with the <A HREF="../../../../../../../../../usr/share/doc/qt-2.3.1/html/qimageio.html">QImageIO</A> handler format. The backends are loaded on demand
when a particular format is requested.
</p>
<p></p>
<H3>Formats
</H3>
<p>
</p>
<p> Currently supported formats include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>JPEG <read>
</li>
<li>XV <read> <write>
</li>
<li>EPS <read> <write>
</li>
<li>NETPBM <incomplete>
</li>
<li>PNG <read> <write, only with newer libraries>
</li>
<li>TIFF <read>
</li>
<li>KRL <read>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<p></p>
<H3>Usage
</H3>
<p>
</p>
<p> Simply call the <A HREF="KImageIO.html#registerFormats">KImageIO::registerFormats</A>() static method declared
in kimgageio.h.
</p>
<p></p>
