The CILY Programming Language Exactly What the World Needed

Why Use CILY? One can perform basic to advanced image manipulation operations using an iterative language (no GUI needed) One can perform basic to advanced image manipulation operations using an iterative language (no GUI needed) Very safe, robust and easy to use Very safe, robust and easy to use It’s works cross-platform It’s works cross-platform Unlike Photoshop and Dreamweaver, CILY is FREE! Unlike Photoshop and Dreamweaver, CILY is FREE!

Basic CILY Features Loading and saving images (or entire directory of images) for manipulation Loading and saving images (or entire directory of images) for manipulation Selecting rectangle or oval of pixels Selecting rectangle or oval of pixels Resizing, rotating, flipping, blurring, sharpening, brightening, cropping, inverting, edge detecting, and converting to grayscale Resizing, rotating, flipping, blurring, sharpening, brightening, cropping, inverting, edge detecting, and converting to grayscale

More Advanced Features Getting and setting pixel values of an image Getting and setting pixel values of an image Magic wand selection of pixels Magic wand selection of pixels Creating a web album from a directory of images Creating a web album from a directory of images

CILY Example: Batch Image Sharpening CILY source code is as follows: CILY source code is as follows: main() { array Image[] imgs = OpenDir(“c:\”); foreach i in imgs { Sharpen(i); Save(i); } }

Example CILY Syntax function void ConvertToColor(Pixel p, Color c) { p->color = c; return;} main() { var Image i = Open("images_original/earth.jpg"); var Color black = Color(0,0,0); var Color darkRed = Color(130, 25, 25); ConvertToGrayScale(i); array Pixel[] pixels = MagicWand(i, Color(0, 0, 0), 10); foreach j in pixels { ConvertToColor(pixels[j], darkRed); } Paste(i, pixels); SaveAs(i, "earthgray.jpg"); }
