This framework provides additional image format plugins for QtGui. As such it is not required for the compilation of any other software, but may be a runtime requirement for Qt-based software to support certain image formats. The following image formats have read-only support: - Gimp (xcf) - OpenEXR (exr) - Photoshop documents (psd) - Sun Raster (ras) The following image formats have read and write support: - Encapsulated PostScript (eps) - Personal Computer Exchange (pcx) - SGI images (rgb, rgba, sgi, bw) - Softimage PIC (pic) - Targa (tga): supports more formats than Qt's version - XView (xv)
