PIXTOOLS is a package for the Silicon Graphics IRIS® workstation consisting of 13 programs plus a library for operating on bitmap images. The image data structure is referred to as a PIXIMAGE. The programs allow the IRIS user to create and edit, perform screen saves, resize, and capture high-resolution images from the Sharp JX450 scanner. Images can be output to the QMS laser printer, the Tektronix 4693 color thermal printer, and the Matrix QCRZ film recorder. Additionally, PIX format images can be converted to Silicon Graphics image format (and vice versa) or converted to PostScript® format. PIX or Silicon Graphics format images can be converted to .ras files, which can be read by the rasp routine in the PLOT3D/AMES program (available from COSMIC), and .ras files can be converted to PIX files. Source code is included. Implemented under IRIX 3.2. Requires 24 bit planes for graphical programs.
