module writes an image or series of images to disk. #!N 
Note: If you are using the Image tool, the functionality of 
this module is available in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Save Image... #!EF option 
of the Image window's  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   File #!EF pull-down menu (see  #!Lsavimgs,dxall332 h Saving an Image  #!EL  
in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide). #!N #!N #!I0 #!N

#!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the

 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the format in 
which the image is to be written. The image file format 
can be specified by the file extension in  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name #!EF 
or by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF . If these specifications conflict,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
format #!EF takes precedence. If the format is one of RGB, 
R+G+B, YUV, or MIFF, and the given file exists, the image(s) 
are appended to the file. Otherwise, a new file is always 
created. The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF parameter allows specification of gamma for 
all format types. The default gamma is 2. (This is a 
change from previous releases for which gamma was always 1.) The 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   format #!EF parameter also allows specification that a "delayed colors" 
image should be written, for all formats other than RGB, R+G+B, 
and YUV. See  #!Lpsfmt,dxall982 s PostScript  #!EL  for a description of how to specify 
these two options. #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF 
#!EF #!I50 #!N specifies a frame number in the file on 
disk. The first frame of a disk file or series is 
frame number 0 (zero). Its interpretation varies with the format being 
used. #!N #!N If the format is one of RGB, R+G+B, 
or YUV, then  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF indicates the starting image frame 
in the disk file at which the given image or image 
series should be written. If the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF does not 
exist in the given file (this is the same as the 
file not existing), then the file is extended to contain the 
frames just before the indicated frame number. The contents of the 
frames that were created to extend the file are undefined. If 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF is not provided, then the input image(s) are 
appended to an existing file. If the file does not exist 
it is created with the given image(s). #!N #!N For the 
TIFF and PostScript formats, if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF is specified, it 
is used to modify the output file name. For example, if 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF =  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF , the name is 
modified from  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   name #!EF .tiff to  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   name.n #!EF  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
.tiff #!EF . If the image is a series, all frames 
will be written to this file. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N
