NAME
       img-ico - Img, Windows Icon Format (ico)

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tk

       package require img::ico  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The package img::ico is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support,
       via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::ico.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command  image
       so  that  it  supports files containing raster images in the Windows Icon Format (ico). More specifi-cally specifically
       cally img::ico extends Tk's photo image type.

       The name of the new format handler is  ico.   This  handler  provides  new  additional  configuration
       options. See section ICO OPTIONS for more detailed explanations.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?


       [1]    Image data in ico format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

       [2]    The format name ico is recognized by the option -format.  In addition the value for the option
              is treated as list and may contain any of the special options listed in section ICO OPTIONS.

         1-bit pixels: Black and White.
         4-bit pixels: Grayscale or indexed.
         8-bit pixels: True-color (RGB, each channel 8 bit).
