PAWT 1.1.3 Reference Manual

PAWT - Picture Automation With TclTop, Main, Index

PAWT is a high-level Tcl interface for handling images with byte, short, int, float or double pixel values. Currently parsers for FITS, FLIR, RAW and PPM image formats are available.

For displaying these images the Img extension is needed. Note, that for display of 32-bit integer and 64-bit double images Img version 1.4.14 or newer is needed.

The following table shows the functionality of the supported file formats.
