Don't even THINK about it!!! Sorry, I just can't seem to break the habit of thinking about things. Anyhow, I can easily see what width, height, and depth are talking about, and I presume that "Format_version" is just some tag to allow upwards-compatible drastic changes in format. But what is "Valid_bits_per_item", anyhow? I can't see any use for that. Using only the width, height, and depth and using the simplest, most obvious formatting scheme, the picture seems to come out without reference to any meaning for v.b.p.i. xxxxxx xxxxx xx xx x xx x x xxxxxx xxxxxx xx x xx xx x xxxx x x xxxx x x x x xxxx x x x x x xxxx x x x xxxx x xxx x xxx x x x xxxx xxx x xxxx xxxx x x x x x x x x xx xx x x xx xx x x x x xx xx x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x x x x xxxx x xx xx x xxx x x x xxxxxxx x x x x x xxxxxxx xx x x xxxxx x x xxx x x xx x x x x xx xxx x x x x x x x x x x x xx xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x x x x x xxx x x x x x x x x x xx x x xx x x x x x x xxx xxx xx xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x x x x xx x x x x xxx xxx xxxx xxx xxxx xxxx xxx xx x x x x x xxxxx xxxxxx x x x x x PS: did you perhaps expect the aspect ratio to be 1:1? The toad looks a little skinny on my screen. That might be another keyword, of course: Aspect_ratio=1:1, or whatnot. -- The meaning of Stonehenge in Tralfamadorian, when viewed from above, is: "Replacement part being rushed with all possible speed." --- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.; Sirens of Titan. -- It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition.
