img-tga 2.0 img-tga(3tk)
Description
packagerequireimg::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 [https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl9.0/TkCmd/photo.html] image type.
The name of the new format handler is tga. This handler provides new additional configuration options.
See section Options for more detailed explanations.
All of the above means that in a call like imagecreatephoto ?name? ?options?
[1] Image data in tga format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.
[2] The format name tga is recognized by the option -format.
In addition the value of option -format is treated as a list and may contain any of the special options
listed in section Options.
The package img::tga is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via
packagerequireImg, or on its own, via packagerequireimg::tga.
