I've updated the Img software associated with the image collection on venera.isi.edu. Changes include: -- Minor bug fixes -- A new program, showxcolors, to display an X11 color database -- Access: .. Img.tar.Z is now available on both venera.isi.edu and on expo.lcs.mit.edu. .. The /images directory tree on venera is now fully visible through anonymous FTP "dir" commands. Appended to this note will be a slightly shortened copy of the /images/README file. ---------------- Paul Raveling Raveling@isi.edu This is a collection 1,166 images in "Img" format, a set of library routines called "imglib", and a set of programs built over imglib. All are available by anonymous FTP from venera.isi.edu. If you've only retrieved Img.tar.Z, you should be aware that it includes only the README files within the four image directories. To actually get images, you'll have to use anonymous FTP from: host venera.isi.edu path [/]images Img.tar.Z is available in two places: host venera.isi.edu path [/]pub/Img.tar.Z host expo.lcs.mit.edu path [/]contrib/Img.tar.Z It may be updated more frequently on venera than on expo. Those who've fought with blind ftp on venera in the past will be delighted to know that the /images hierarchy is now completely visible. For additional information on image files, see the individual README files in /images/color_mapped, /images/color_rgb, /images/grayscale, and /images/monochrome. For a summary of all files in the hierarchy, see /images/ls-RAlF.Z Latest update 10-19-89 by Paul Raveling (Raveling@isi.edu) ------------- Paths within this directory tree and their contents are: images Includes README, a file format spec, an Imakefile for code components, a Makefile for HP's, and img.tar.Z -- a compressed TAR file containing everything except the image directories.
