All formats which the San Diego Supercomputing Center's image tools support, this module supports. With this module you can read in a gif file, and edit it with the standard tools of AVS ! Please note that this module calls the executable file imconv.<platform>.exe. Several of these executables come with this module for different platforms. You should keep the one for your platform, and make sure you make it executable using "chmod +x" and that it is in your path before you run the module. Any of the following image file formats can be read in by this module : bmp Microsoft Windows bitmap image file cur Microsoft Windows cursor image file eps Adobe Encapsulated PostScript file gif Compuserve Graphics image file hdf Hierarchical Data File ico Microsoft Windows icon image file icon Sun Icon and Cursor file iff Sun TAAC Image File Format mpnt Apple Macintosh MacPaint file pbm PBM Portable Bit Map file pcx ZSoft IBM PC Paintbrush file pgm PBM Portable Gray Map file pic PIXAR picture file pict Apple Macintosh QuickDraw/PICT file pix Alias image file pnm PBM Portable aNy Map file ppm PBM Portable Pixel Map file ps Adobe PostScript file ras Sun Rasterfile rgb SGI RGB image file rla Wavefront raster image file rle Utah Run length encoded image file synu SDSC Synu image file tga Truevision Targa image file tiff Tagged image file viff Khoros Visualization image file x AVS X image file xbm X11 bitmap file xwd X Window System window dump image file CREDITS ------- This module relies on the San Diego Supercomputer Center's Image Tools, which are available via anonymous ftp to ftp.sdsc.edu.
