history
Project history and usage
libwpg is a C++ library and tool set for WordPerfect Graphics files, giving open-source graphics and office software a parser for Corel-era WPG drawings.
Project history
The project describes itself as a collection of a parsing library and tools for WPG, the WordPerfect Graphics format used by Corel software including WordPerfect and Presentations. SourceForge's release archive shows libwpg 0.1.0 published on 2007-08-06, followed by the 0.2 series beginning in 2010 and the 0.3 series beginning in 2014.
The code repository and project site show the split personality that made libwpg useful: a core library for applications, command-line converters such as wpg2svg and wpg2raw, and viewer/converter work around Perfectspot.
Adoption history
libwpg was adopted where WPG files needed to cross into open formats. The project site lists Inkscape support since version 0.45, AbiWord, OpenOffice.org integration work, and Karbon14/KOffice work, while the Document Liberation Project later grouped this style of import library with other efforts around LibreOffice and open document conversion.
How it is used
Most users get libwpg indirectly through an application that imports WPG graphics. Packagers expose the converter tools so users can script WPG-to-SVG or diagnostic raw output without opening a full office suite.
Why package nerds care
libwpg matters because it covers a format that is obscure until archival or migration work makes it urgent. Its package is the small bridge between legacy WordPerfect/Corel graphics and modern SVG or OpenDocument workflows.
