tiff, eps, gif, bmp, png, jpg, bie(jbig), pcx, pcd, pnm, ppm, pbm, pgm, xbm, and mag.(mag is a popular image format in Japan, especially on NEC-PCs.)
ToyViewer can open image files by selecting "File / Open" of the menu.
Image files can also be opened by dragging their icons onto the icon of ToyViewer placed on Desktop.
Some image files would have extensions that could not be recognized by ToyViewer. For example, some CD-ROMs may have bmp-files with other extension, or without extension. In such cases, these files can be opened by drag & drop.
Note: There may be files that can not be displayed correctly. If you find them, send it to me...
tiff, eps, bmp, gif, png, jpg, bie(jbig), pnm, or xbm.Images in gif format have at most 256 colors. If you try to save an image that has more than 256 colors as a gif image, the color reduction routine is activated automatically. Images that can be saved in bie(jbig) or in xbm format should be monochrome bilevel images.
When an image in one format is saved in other format, usually, the size of the image is preserved. However, when an eps image is saved in other format, size of the saved image depends on the size of the image scaled on the window.
There are two kinds of representation in png or bmp formats. One uses a palette of colors to save the image compactly, and the other specifies colors for each pixel. ToyViewer checks automatically the number of colors in the image to be saved, and if possible, saves it in paletted representation.
