     iflSGI - SGI format image file

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This format is used to create and access image files stored in SGI's
     classic libimage format.  This provides support for the large number of
     files that	have already been created in this format on SGI	machines. New
     files can be created in the more flexible,	industry standard, TIFF	format
     (see iflTIFF).

     SGI files support full color, color palette, and monochrome images	of
     either one	or two bytes per color component.  Image data can be stored in
     either raw	form or	RLE encoded.

     The default extensions for	image files in the SGI format are '.sgi',
     '.rgb', '.rgba', '.bw' and	'.screen'.  When you create a file with	that
     extension IFL will	assume you want	the SGI	format,	unless you override it
     with the iflFormat	parameter.
