FROMDI(6D)FROMDI(6D)NAMEfromdi - convert an old .di dithered image into an RGB image
SYNOPSISfromdi colors.map outimage.rgb
DESCRIPTIONfromdi converts an old .di dithered (8-bits) image into an RGB image.
ipaste works differently on 4D machines than it originally did on
2000/3000 IRIS machines. While it is true that on the 2000/3000 machines
image files made by the program dither (making an 8-bit image) would work
with ipaste , on the 4D's ipaste was written to operate on RGB (24-bit)
images or SCREEN (16-bit starting at zero) images but not with DITHERED
(8-bits starting at some offset) images. Refer to the Note in the
ipaste(1G) man page stating that if one REALLY wants to view their
DITHERED images on a 4D, they will first need to use fromdi to convert
them from DITHERED into RGB format, and then can use ipaste to display
them.
