I write programs for myself that is also for other people can use too.

One such collection of programs is Farbfeld Utilities, which I now use for dealing with picture files. It also includes encoders/decoders for some uncommon formats, and some options of them which are not widely implemented in other programs (e.g. XPM2, including symbolic colours; it can also encode/decode NES/Famicom tile sets, the Golly Macrocell format, and others), and also to display pictures and to make screenshots (both X windows and Linux text screens). There are also some filters that I have not seen in other programs, such as the possibility to make the tensor product of two pictures. Unfortunately a lot of documentation is missing, though.
