I have tried to load bitmap images using standard data which is not in TIFF format. It is in hexadecimal notation similar to what is used by XCreateBitmapFromData in Xwindows. Perhaps this format is not allowable. I cannot find information which specifies what type of data is recognizable from the methods initData:pixelsWide:pixelsHigh:bitsPerSample. . . etc. Maybe this format does work but I am unfamiliar with the specifications necessary to implement this initialization. I am not sure what is meant by bitsPerSample, samplePerPixel, bytesPerRow, bitsPerPixel? Perhaps someone can shed some inlightenment on this subject since the documentation that I have seems a little unclear. Thanks in advance Brian Zimmerman bz08@andrew.cmu.edu
