.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX  ximage  ""  "\fLximage\fR \(em interactive data analysis tool"
.IP  
ximage is a 2D interactive data analysis tool that features displaying
color images of data sets in cartesian and polar form.  It can 
display the actual data values in a spread sheet manner and create
color contour plots, shaded images, color histograms, and profile plots.

ximage provides functions for dynamically manipulating palettes.  
Palette manipulation may be done by changing the component values in RGB, 
CMY or HSV color models.  In addition, the palette may be changed by 
expansion, compression, rotation or transposition.

The user may animate multiple raster images from disk or the X server's memory.

As input data, ximage takes either 8-bit raster files or HDF files containing 
either 8-bit raster data or 32 bit floating point data.  HDF 
(Hierarchical Data Format) is a standard data format originally developed
at NCSA.  As Input palettes, it takes in HDF palettes, and 8 bit palettes
where the first 256 bytes specify the 256 entries of red, followed by
256 entries of green and then blue.

.SH X DEFAULTS
.LP
.IP
ximage*installCMap:	(True or False)
.IP
installCMap tells ximage whether or not to follow ICCCM rules for setting 
colormap.  If you are using an old or non ICCCM compliant window manager, 
this option should be set to True.  The default is False.  If the color map 
does not appear to be changing when a colormap is loaded then changing 
this option will usually fix the problem.
