Yorick Plugins
As of yorick-1.6, Yorick has the capabilities to load packages that include dynamic libraries (plugins). This has several big advantages:
- it solves a distribution problem. One can now distribute packages in binary form, and they can be loaded by the current yorick executable,
- although it is still possible, it is not anymore necessary to build a special version of yorick when linking to custom C libraries,
- an arbitrary number and combination of packages can be loaded in a given yorick session.
Available Plugins
Unless stated otherwise, the following plugins are for use with yorick-1.6.02. Yorick-1.6.01 was a beta version and the plugin interface has changed slightly with 1.6.02 (you were warned).yorick-z

imutil, v0.2
- Summary: Compiled routines for basic but fast image manipulation. Includes 2d bilinear and spline2 interpolation, clipping, 2d dist generator, binning, image rotation, cartesian to polar coordinate transform, gaussian and poisson random generator, fast sort and fast median. All of these functions, with the exceptions of spline2, exist in yorick or the yutils package, but these versions are 2 to 10x faster, being specialized for 2d arrays (hence the name imutil).
- What's new in this version:
- 64 bits safe (untested yet)
- new rotate2() and cart2pol() functions
- Dependencies: none (the check-plug requires the yutils package)
- Known to compile on OsX and Linux.
