img-tga - Truevision Targa format (tga)








package require img::tga ?2.0?












package require img::tga


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 Truevision Targa format
    (tga). More specifically img::tga extends Tk's photo
    [https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl9.0/TkCmd/photo.html] image type.


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


All of the above means that in a call like image create
    photo ?name? ?options?



  
[1]

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

  
[2]

  
The format name tga is recognized by the option
    -format.




In addition the value of option -format is treated as a
    list and may contain any of the special options listed in section
    Options.


The package img::tga 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::tga.








This format handler supports the following image types:


    
  
  • 24-bit pixels: Truecolor (RGB, 8-bit channels).
    • 
  
  • 32-bit pixels: Truecolor with alpha channel (RGBA, 8-bit channels).
    • 



All images types may be either uncompressed (Targa-Type 2) or
    run-length encoded (Targa-Type 10).
