dlib on Dub

dlib is a high-level general purpose library written in D language for game and graphics developers. It provides basic building blocks for writing real-time and multimedia applications: containers, data streams, linear algebra and image decoders.

dlib has no external dependencies aside D's standard library. dlib is created and maintained by Timur Gafarov.

If you like dlib, please support its development on Patreon or Liberapay. You can also make one-time donation via NOWPayments. I appreciate any support. Thanks in advance!

What's inside

Currently dlib consists of the following packages:

dlib.core - basic functionality used by other modules (memory management, streams, threads, etc.)
dlib.container - generic data structures (GC-free dynamic and associative arrays and more)
dlib.filesystem - abstract FS interface and its implementations for Windows and POSIX filesystems
dlib.math - linear algebra and numerical analysis (vectors, matrices, quaternions, linear system solvers, interpolation functions, etc.)
dlib.geometry - computational geometry (ray casting, primitives, intersection, etc.)
dlib.image - image processing (8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit floating point channels, common filters and convolution kernels, resizing, FFT, HDRI, animation, graphics formats I/O: JPEG, PNG/APNG, BMP, TGA, HDR)
dlib.audio - sound processing (8 and 16 bits per sample, synthesizers, WAV export and import)
dlib.network - networking and web functionality
dlib.memory - memory allocators
dlib.text - text processing, GC-free strings, Unicode decoding and encoding
dlib.serialization - data serialization (XML and JSON parsers)
dlib.random - random number generation
dlib.coding - various data compression and coding algorithms
dlib.concurrency - a thread pool.

Supported Compilers

dlib is automatically tested for compatibility with latest releases of DMD and LDC. Older releases formally are not supported, but in practice usually are, to some extent. There's no guaranteed support for GDC and other D compilers.
