The new Frink release adds some powerful new image loading and
drawing capabilities! Frink now has the ability to load bitmap image
files (e.g. JPEG, GIF, PNG) and display them onscreen, or resize and
render them to a graphics object (which can then be printed, saved to a
file, printed tiled across several pages, modified, drawn upon, etc.)
This gives the ability to modify images, add watermarks or text to
images, build collages or thumbnails, rescale images, overlay
transparent images on each other, and much more.
The "What's new" section of the documentation has more details about
this, including sample programs that demonstrate loading an image,
drawing a watermark on it, and saving it back out to a file:
