# X-Pixmap & NetPBM
- Half the code is Tests, all functions are asserted.
- Only uses `system.nim`, no imports, does not use std lib, easy to maintain.
- `runnableExamples` with `static: ` and `doAssert`.
- Documentation with Examples and Links.
- Works at compile-time, NimScript and JavaScript.
- All functions are `func`, except 1 that does the I/O.
- Tiny `func` of 3 ~ 5 lines, simple code, simple API.
- Functionality can be extended with `sequtils` by the user.
- Examples render 6 small fractals at compile-time to mimic a real-world like usage.
- Only ~300 lines where half are test, 5 image formats.
#### Random example use cases
- Generate Icons of arbitrary sizes instead of bundling them in binaries and installers.
- Generate patterns on client-side browser instead of transferring them over internet.
- Render QR codes, Bar codes, Icons, visual reports, simple diagrams for documentation, etc.
- Plot charts with data of any kind on any target.
- Anything image related, good addition to SVG and HTML that std lib already can do.
#### Format
Image format is loss-less and human-readable, UTF-8 but fits ASCII,
is also valid C source code, can be embedded in C, supports millions of colors and transparency.
#### Links
- Rust lang one https://docs.rs/image/latest/image/pnm/struct.PNMEncoder.html
- Python also has a module to draw images on std lib.
