Introduction

Oyranos is intended as a entry point for colour savy applications. In its current stage it configures profile paths, sets default profiles, maps devices to profiles, sets a monitor profile in X and uploads a vcgt tag. This means for instance all applications using Oyranos will use for a incoming digital camera picture the same profile and watch it through the same monitor profile with the same options for rendering intent, simulation and so on.

Tools Documentation

User Documentation

The basic Oyranos API gets included with oyranos.h. An application, which wants to use these functions, needs to link against Oyranos and Elektra.

The monitor related API is contained in oyranos_monitor.h. Linkage on Linux needs X11. Therefore this library part is separated from the main one.

The key names, which Oyranos uses to store its configuration in an Elektra file tree, are defined in oyranos_definitions.h.

Using Oyranos

Frist you have to put a
    #include <oyranos/oyranos.h>
    
in your source text, in order to use Oyranos. oyranos-config --cflags delivers the compiler flags and oyranos-config --ldflags the linker flags.

Then you can put Oyranos functions in your code and compile with:

    cc `oyranos-config --cflags` `oyranos-config --ldflags` mycode.c -o myApp
    
to link Oyranos into your application.

For C++ make shure you use the oyranos:: namespace.
