[comp.windows.news] NeWS and bitmap images

george@frodo.ua.oz.AU (George) (08/05/89)

i have been 'playing around' with some 8 bit images 512*512 on a SUN using
NeWS. most of the operations i want to do to images have been heavily C-Client
oriented. Examples include correcting for the suns aspect ratio by bi-linear
interpolation and also mapping the original 12 bit images data to displayable
8 bits. Ideally i would like to do these transformations dynamically via the
server.

could anyone give me a pointer as to how i could best go about this. i guess
that i would have to transfer the original 'raw' 12 bit data to the server and
then have some tool which dynamically maps according to user input and which
can 'at the flick of a button' correct for the aspect ratio in a (reasonable?)
time.

thnxs.

p.s.  i like this group!
