iflSGI(3) Image Format Library C++ Reference Manual iflSGI(3)
NAME
iflSGI - SGI format image file
DESCRIPTION
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.
