\r
-This is a simple library to load images of various formats as SDL surfaces.\r
-This library supports BMP, PNM (PPM/PGM/PBM), XPM, LBM, PCX, GIF, JPEG, PNG,\r
-TGA, and TIFF formats.\r

+Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed\r
+to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics\r
+hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,\r
+emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog\r
+and many Humble Bundle games.\r
\r
-where type is a string specifying the format (i.e. "PNG" or "pcx").\r
-Note that IMG_Load_RW cannot load TGA images.\r
+SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.\r
+Support for other platforms may be found in the source code.\r
\r
-To create a surface from an XPM image included in C source, use:\r
+SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings \r
+available for several other languages, including C# and Python.\r
\r
- SDL_Surface *IMG_ReadXPMFromArray(char **xpm);\r
+This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found\r
+in the file "COPYING.txt".\r
\r
-An example program 'showimage' is included, with source in showimage.c\r
+The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in\r
+the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.\r
+The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.\r
+More documentation and FAQs are available online at:\r

\r
-JPEG support requires the JPEG library: http://www.ijg.org/\r
-PNG support requires the PNG library: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html\r
- and the Zlib library: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/\r
-TIFF support requires the TIFF library: ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/\r

\r
-If you have these libraries installed in non-standard places, you can\r
-try adding those paths to the configure script, e.g.\r
-sh ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/somewhere/include" LDFLAGS="-L/somewhere/lib"\r
-If this works, you may need to add /somewhere/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH\r
-so shared library loading works correctly.\r
