Message-ID: <29F4AF4F-0A71-4A87-BECA-B8BBD819C9C3@leighsmith.com> Hi I notice that Imago is not really getting much discussion on the imago-devel mail list. I'm curious if previous users are now using a better library? I've been using it and for what I need it suits my modest requirements with the exception of write-pnm not supporting indexed images. I'm just checking if it's worth my effort to do the work adding support or whether I'd be better off throwing my support behind a more active project? Leigh -- Leigh M.

I am not aware of better or more active projects of this type, but there may be, you might want to ask on comp.lang.lisp. It is true that imago-devel is pretty calm (to say the least), I do not know whether it is because not many people use the library or because it is so great that nothing remains to be said (although the former seems more likely)... :) Anyway, I would be glad to know about any comments or criticism you may have. Julian Squires recently checked in a few modifications, and I may have some time to hack on it soon if needed. Note: I think indexed images are not supported by the PNM format. If this is true but you want to save images, you may want to replace the corresponding write-pnm-to-stream method with one that converts the indexed image to an RGB image then calls write-pnm with it. If I am wrong and PNM does support indexed images, then please let us know so we can add the code (or you can of course send the code directly).
