NAME


img-tga - Img, Truevision Targa Format (tga)






SYNOPSIS


package require Tk 


package require img::tga ?1.4?


image create photo ?name?
  ?options?










DESCRIPTION


package require img::tga.


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 Truevision Targa Format
    (tga). More specifically img::tga extends Tk's photo
    image type.


The name of the new format handler is tga.


The package img::tga 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::tga.


This handler provides new additional configuration options. See
    section TGA OPTIONS for more detailed explanations.


All of the above means that in a call like

Image data in tga format (options -data and -file) is
      detected automatically.

      addition the value for the option is treated as list and may contain any
      of the special options listed in section TGA OPTIONS.
