EZFB is a polymorphic, object oriented Linux frame buffer API written in C, designed to adapt at run time to control any properly configured Linux frame buffer video system. It offers independent, simultaneous control of multiple video cards within a single system, exceptional control of colors, the ability to display all or portions of bitmap files anywhere on the screen, automatic color depth conversion, the ability to capture to bitmap files, an 8x8 bitmapped font, routines to draw points, lines, outlined and filled rectangles, signal trapping for automatic screen clean-up at process termination, and much more. The demonstration applications include a bitmap viewer, screen capture utility, screen saver, and a touch screen calibration utility and an application for generating, viewing, transforming, and saving files according to The International Laser Display Association's ILDA file format.

This release is radically different from the previous version (over 3 years ago). The entire core of the frame buffer has been optimized with pre-calculated pointers to pixel rows, eliminating a lot of redundant math and pointers to functions, set at initialization, eliminating redundant switch statements. In other words, it's a lot faster. New features have been added to enhance and accelerate animation in the frame buffer. A fully functional version of LaserBoy is included.
