Several things are necessary to accomplish that: - Image manipulation tools, such as resize, crop, etc. - Drawing API - to create basic shapes and advanced charts, write text on the image - Masking functionality - ability to apply black&white or grayscale images as masks, leading to semi-transparency or absolute transparency of the image the mask is being applied to The above tools should be the basic foundation for a more powerful set of tools that are called `Filters` in Imagine. Some of the ideas for upcoming filters: - Charting and graphing filters - pie and bar charts, linear graphs with annotations - Reflection - apple style - Rounded corners - web 2.0 Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) - [Hosted by Read The Docs](http://imagine.readthedocs.org/) Presentations ------------- [](#presentations) - [Introduction to Imagine](http://www.slideshare.net/avalanche123/introduction-toimagine) - [How to Take Over the World with Lithium](http://speakerdeck.com/u/nateabele/p/how-to-take-over-the-world-with-lithium?slide=33) Articles -------- [](#articles) - [Image Processing with Imagine](http://www.phparch.com/2011/03/image-processing-with-imagine) ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 54.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
