Description

Tcl/Tk itself only includes support for a few image formats: PPM/PGM, PNG (Tk 8.6+) and GIF. Img adds support for several others, including BMP, JPG, and TIFF.

This would be useful for p5-tcl-ptk to support more of the formats normally supported by Perl/Tk (p5-tk).

Homepage (not up-to-date): http://tkimg.sourceforge.net/

Also see https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Img

Current version is 1.4.7 (released 2017), and its codebase (https://sourceforge.net/p/tkimg/code/HEAD/tree/) seems to be actively maintained. Downloads are at https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkimg/files/tkimg/1.4/tkimg%201.4.7/

I'm not sure if a port for this would require separate +quartz and +x11 variants.
