Ruby Pixels - TGA pixel data library

Ruby Pixels allows you to read and write RGB/RGBA pixel data stored in uncompressed, non-interleaved TGA (Targa)^[?] files. Unlike some other libraries, Ruby Pixels reads and writes one row of pixels at a time, you can work with several large images at once without running out of memory.

This is the first release: v0.0.1.

Requirements

Ruby Pixels needs no external libraries.

Limitations

Ruby Pixels cannot read or write compressed, interleaved, or colour-mapped images. You may wish to use another tool (e.g. MiniMagick) to convert to and from other formats.
Ruby Pixels currently has no support for reading or writing individual pixels. You need to do it on a row-by-row basis.
