Date: 18 Aug 1994 00:00:01 EST
All versions of Impressario support SGI RGB ImageLib image file
format, RGB and RGBA, color and grayscale, compressed and
uncompressed.
Starting with Impressario 1.2, direct printing of JPEG JFIF, PhotoCD,
TIFF 6.0, GIF 87a and 89a, and FIT images are supported. In addition
both ASCII and binary PPM, PGM and PBM images can be directly
printed. Finally, Impressario 1.2 adds support for SGI image files
with 16 bits per channel, in all formats.
Tektronix printer device plug-ins cannot accept the new formats
included with Impressario 1.2, but they can accept XWD and Sun Raster
files.
More file formats can be added to Impressario quickly and easily,
without knowing anything about PostScript or printer device
plug-ins. See the Impressario Developer's Guide or the Indigo Magic
Integration Guide for more details. Every new file conversion filter
is automatically available to all printers, so that file conversion
filters need only be written once for all uses.
