Images

  All created images will have the same name, the extension will be correctly set; when more than one image is written the file names contain automatically incremented numbers. The file name can be changed by setting the environment variable GRAPE_IMAGE_NAME, if not set a warning is displayed. The default name is grape.

Internally this projects implements an abstract pixmap class with a subclass for every supported file format. So new file formats can be added easily; unfortunately the programming interface is still undocumented (but will be documented sometimes).

The only button is

Choose the file type to use.

SGI-Image:

SGI RGB files. This format requires the SGI image library. It is not supported by non SGI machines.

Targa-File:

Uncompressed targa files.

ppm:

Standard portable pixmaps. Decide by a Checkbox if you want the raw (smaller and faster) version of this format or the ASCII version (more portable).
