img-sgi - Img, SGI Native Format (sgi)








package require Tk 


package require img::sgi ?1.4?


image create photo ?name?
  ?options?












The package img::sgi is a sub-package of Img. It can
    be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require
    Img, or on its own, via package require img::sgi.


Like all packages of Img it does not provide new
    commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it
    supports files containing raster images in the SGI Native Format (sgi). More
    specifically img::sgi extends Tk's photo image
  type.


The name of the new format handler is sgi. This handler
    provides new additional configuration options. See section SGI
    OPTIONS for more detailed explanations.


All of the above means that in a call like



  

  





  
[1]

  
Image data in sgi format (options -data and -file) is
      detected automatically.

  
[2]

  
The format name sgi is recognized by the option -format. In
      addition the value for the option is treated as list and may contain any
      of the special options listed in section SGI OPTIONS.
