Hello all,
I just got a parcel from Steve, containing a LINUX-RenderAgent Script for
use together with SMPOV.
It would enable to use any /-IX PC (UNIX etc.) as a Renderclient with SMPOV.
At a final stage we run intotrouble with the ".bmp" Format we got from the
POVRAY finaly on the LINUX-side. Actually it seems not to be eqal to what we
get on the Windows side therefore PicPender seems not to be able to stick
thoise pieces together.
As I do not have any IX Os and wont install one ever, here the IX Community
is asked to give advice on this problem.
Please mal me directly on the Mailadress you find on my WEB-Site if you want
contrivute to the project.
My plan is that:
You'll be sent those IX-Script-files from steve and get the change to make
the resulting "tiles" compatible with the windows versions.
Everything else should work fine so far.

Well, bmp is only the SYSTEM format for Windows...
What make you expect to get the same default for SYSTEM format on Unix.
Spec of 3.1e gives the SYSTEM format on unix as Targa, and allow to
switch it to either PPM or PNG.
I do not know what is the current choice for Unix sourcecode, but bmp
format just sucks!

Better and simpler: move your script for a fixed file format.
That way, you will get the same format from all platform.
Then you can thing about compatibility.
My preference would go for 8bit per channel PNG, but you might vary.
+FN !

It's PNG.
Of course you should explicitly set the format to use if your program
depends on it.

Actually i'd say there is no purpose for which BMP would be a good
choice of image format.
BTW this thread is off-topic in this group.

Thanks for answering,
We use BMP cause its the format that can most easily be appended.
As said before I do not need it personally, as I avoid anithing with IX for
my personal use actually.
Which group would be the right group for my question for a LINUX-Scripter?
thanks

That is not correct - in fact through the different compressend and
uncompressed subformats BMP is particularly difficult to handle.

You should note that while BMP is a platform specific format PNG, PPM,
TGA and others are not. So if you have strong preferences concerning
use of computer platforms it is inconsequent to rely on a format that is
strongly platform specific.
