Hi,
Afaik there is no support for ppm files within matplotlib.
Is it planned to add this format to the existing formats bmp, eps, jpg,
png, ps, svg ?
Nils
From the netpbm website:
"The PPM format is a lowest common denominator color image file format.
It should be noted that this format is egregiously inefficient. It is highly
redundant, while containing a lot of information that the human eye can't
even discern. Furthermore, the format allows very little information about
the image besides basic color, which means you may have to couple a file in
this format with other independent information to get any decent use out of
it."
They go on:
"However, it is very easy to write and analyze programs to process this
format, and that is the point."
So just out of curiosity, what is this format used for?

iianm, it's the "middleman" format used in the netpbm suite
of commandline image processing tools.
