dlib is a high-level general purpose library for D language intended to game engine developers. It provides basic building blocks for writing graphics-intensive 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.

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.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.

Documentation

HTML documentation can be generated from source code using ddox (run dub build --build=ddox) or Doxygen (run doxygen). Be aware that documentation is currently incomplete.
