Subject:Info request: Graphics Image Formats From:doug montalbano <doug_montalbano -at- CC -dot- CHIRON -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 13 Jan 1995 11:48:35 PST
Does anyone on this polytropic list know of a reference for a
description of graphics image formats, their specifications, and
the differences among them?
This is something I've been meaning to do for a while -- our
company uses illustrations in its procedures which come from a
variety of sources in a variety of graphical formats and it's hell
on wheels sometimes getting them into usable form. Recently,
however, the gif-patent brouhaha has made this a very high
priority, since we also use gif files.
Any references would be appreciated.

...I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes....If anybody
wanted to tell me something, they'd have to write it on a
piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored
as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through
with having conversations for the rest of my life.
