ARCGraph is a metafile format designed at Ames Research Center
and is used and produced by the Ames software: PLOT3D, GAS, SURF,
FAST, and others. ARCGraph has options for pixels, voxels, 2D & 3D lines,
polygons with all sorts of shading, vectors, almost any kind of graphical
entity presently being used. Since the SGI imagelib is not documented,
I have documentation for ARCGraph, and most of the software I use
produces & use's it, I decided to use it as my standard metafile reference.
I don't use SGI imagelib at all so I don't have anything that works with
it. If SGI ever decides to support and document it I may change,
but not until then.
If you want to try to modify my software to read SGI imagelib files,
try looking at the source files in 4Dgifts/iristools. The source files
are the only "documentation" available for the imagelib.
Sorry I can't be of any more help.
(I tried twice to send this directly, so now I am posting it. Keep
getting use unknown)
