[comp.sys.sgi] Display an image from memory

tans@dretor.dciem.dnd.ca (Sovannary Tan) (05/23/91)

	I am now working on a task which requires an image to be
displayed in a program.  Presently, my input device for the image is a
video camera.  I use the library functions:  readsource, setvideo,
rectcopy etc. to display the image, and everything works well.

	The next thing that I want to do is to save the image in a file
so that I don't need to turn on my video camera for 24Hrs. just for
inputing the picture!  I used the command 'snapshot' to save the picture
first.  In the program, I used the image library function 'iopen' to
open the image file.  I discovered two functions 'getrow' and 'putrow'
for reading and writing an image file.  However, I can't find a function
for displaying the image on the screen.  I only have a brief
documentation on these functions.   

	Thank you for your attention.  Would anyone who knows about
these image library functions please show me how to use them? 
Your help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Sovannary Tan
