8 bit and 24 bit displays are fully supported by the image object; monochrome and 4 bit displays may be used but are not recommended.
Bit images, greyscale images, and RGB images are also supported. The image object is completely flexible as to the data type of the image data; all data types, including signed and unsigned bit, byte, short, int, float, double, and complex data types are supported.
The image object will react to changes in the input image; that is, if the contents of the input image change, the image object will immediately update to display the new image.
The image object supports the reading/writing of a variety of file formats, including: Viff (Khoros 1.0.5 format) Kdf (Khoros 2.1 data format) Gdbm (Khoros 2.0 gdbm format) Portable Any Map (PNM) format (including PPM, PGM, etc) ASCII format X Bitmap (XBM) format X Pixel Map (XPM) format X Window Dump (XWD) format Application Visualization System (AVS) format
In addition to those listed above, the following formats are supported for write only: Encapsulated PostScript (eps) format
In addition to those listed above, the following formats are supported for read only: Raw (headerless) format
In the future, we also hope to support a number of additional formats, including: Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
