**Work in progress** See screenshots and videos below for the current state.

I'm hoping this will be mostly working in early 2025.

This is a reworking of [nip2](https://github.com/libvips/nip2) for the gtk4
74
UI toolkit and the vips8 image processing library.

nip4 is a spreadsheet-like interface to the [libvips image processing
1416
library](https://libvips.github.io/libvips). You create a set of formula
1517
connecting your objects together, and on a change nip4 will recalculate.

This makes it convenient for developing image processing systems since you
17-
can watch pixels change as you adjust your equations.

Because nip4 uses libvips as the image processing engine, it can handle very
20-
large images and only needs a little memory. It scales to fairly complex
21-
workflows: I've used it to develop systems with more than 10,000 cells,
22-
analyzing images of many tens of gigabytes.

It has a batch mode, so you can run any image processing system you develop
