DevIL
Developer's Image Library or DevIL (originally called OpenIL; the name was changed at a request from
Silicon Graphics, Inc.), started by Denton Woods, is a cross-platform image library which aims to provide a common
API for different image file format. It consists of three parts: the main library (IL), the utility library (ILU) and the utility toolkit (ILUT), mirroring the corresponding parts of
OpenGL (although the
OpenGL Utility Toolkit is not part of the OpenGL specification).
