+libfpx (A library for manipulating FlashPIX images)
+
+FlashPix is a bitmapped computer graphics file format where the image is
+saved in more than one resolution. Although this makes it larger even than
+a TIFF file of the same resolution, its design anticipated that when an
+HTTP request is sent for the file by a browser plugin implementing the
+format, only the image compatible with the current screen resolution is
+returned to the browser, saving on bandwidth and download time.
+
+It can be used as an ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick delegate to convert
+from FlashPIX format.
