usage of rimax command.

[Manuel Abarca]

I am trying to "capture" the image from a xwin window, in Dislin. I have created a file with the command rimage.

But. What is the graphic file format ?. See the imagen_dislin file in attach.

I am running Dislin on a32 bit machine, windows 10 OS.

Can I open the file created by rimage with a graphic editor software ?

Hi,

The routine rimage makes a direct copy of the graphics in memory to a file. The format

is system dependent. It's for example different for Windows and X11 systems and for

8-, 24-, or 32-bit colour modes. The routine was originally written for a fast image replay

on the same system without any conversions.

I would suggest to use one of the routines rpng, rtiff, rgif or rbmp  to copy the graphics

in a window to a known graphics format.

With best regards,

Helmut
