NAME
	libquanta - Colour quantisation library

SYNOPSIS
	#include <libquanta.h>

	Link with -lquanta.

DESCRIPTION
	The libquanta software library is a C library for colour
	quantisation of images, meaning it lets you create a colour
	palette for an image and convert the image to a palette-based
	image.

	The palette may have lower colour resolution and fewer colours
	than the original image.

	libquanta is not designed to convert an image to a
	palette-based image based on a pre-existing palette. It is
	only designed to create a palette suitable for a provided
	image.

	The libquanta software library implements the following
	functions:

   Colour palette functions
	libquanta_palette_size(3)
		Calculate the size of a colour palette.

	libquanta_malloc_palette(3)
		Allocate a colour palette.

   Colour quantisation functions
	libquanta_quantise(3),
	libquanta_vquantise(3)
		Colour-quantise an image using an algorithm selected
		by the library.

	libquanta_quantise_wu(3),
	libquanta_vquantise_wu(3)
		Colour-quantise an image using Wu's Colour Quantiser.

SEE ALSO
	None.
