#1135 graphics formats

Richard Johnson · 16 March 1990

I know this sounds a little wierd on this list, but...

A PBEM player has asked for a GIF picture of the Alcyon (and I
presume - the other ships also).  I know next to noting about
graphics formats, transmitting and transmuting them, making pictures
available.

I do not have access to a Sun (except Sol) :-(.  I do have access to
an Amiga and can make a picture in IFF format.  If people are
interested enough, I will do that and put it on the list for people
to look at.

I don't want to do this unless someone volunteers to alter formats
so that other people (beside Amiga owners) can view it too.
Any takers?

I can convert from the following formats:
	Pc paintbrush, doodlebrush, CMU window manager bitmap, Group 3 Fax,
	GEM .img file, Sun icon, MacPaint, MGR bitmap, PICT, X10 or X11 bitmap,
	X10 or X11 window dump, FITS, Usenix FAcsSaver, HIPS, Postscript
	"image", TIFF, GIF, Amiga IFF ILBM, Img-whatnot, Mark VanDeWettering's
	ray tracer output, QRT ray tracer output, Sun raster, TrueVision Targa,
	Colour X11 or X10 window dump.

To these formats:
	Group 3 Fax, ASCII graphics, BitGraph, CMU window manager, Graphon,
	Sun Icon, HP LaserJet, MacPaint, MGR bitmap, Printronix, Sun Raster,
	X10 or X11 bitmap, X11 window dump, UPC bitmap?, FITS, Encapsulated
	Postscript, GIF, Amiga IFF ILBM, colour X11 window dump.

I haven't tested many of these formats (or know what a lot of them are for
that matter), so I don't guarantee anything, but I do have conversion
programs...

If you can give me a Amiga IFF ILBM file, whatever that means, (or any of the
other formats for that matter), anyone who needs any of these output
formats, can get an appropriate image from me.
