RRDtool - Round Robin Database

A 'simple' (i.e. very powerful and complex if you get into the weeds) tool to ingest data, and later plot it out again. Creates the kind of plots that are fairly well known especially for computer science applications, when plotting network or drive reads, throughput, cpu usage and so on (e.g. in OpenMediaVault and I believe Nextcloud)

ImageMagick – Mastering Digital Image Alchemy

"ImageMagick is a powerful, open-source software suite for creating, editing, converting, and manipulating images in over 200 formats. Ideal for web developers, graphic designers, and researchers, it offers versatile tools for image processing, including batch processing, format conversion, and complex image transformations."

THE cli image processing tool - but can also be used bound from many programming language, and provides the backing software for many image editing applications.

GitHub - jcupitt/nip4: image processing spreadsheet

In-dev 'spreadsheet' software for image processing libvips library. Can perhaps be best understood as a non-linear image editing software akin to non-linear video editing and vfx software, especially those like Nuke and Natron.

There is an older, perhaps more feature complete (atm) version nips2.

GitHub - libvips/libvips: A fast image processing library with low memory needs.

Can be used in a way similar to imagemagick/graphicsmagick for cli image processing but also bound to a variety of programming languages.

Works way faster with big/many batch images, but seems less well known so fewer tutorials and online examples.
