[a] Spectra curves are imported as graphs, positional information is lost. [b] Import support relies on Gdk-Pixbuf and hence may vary among systems. 16bit depth is not supported. [c] Usually lossy, intended for presentational purposes. 16bit grayscale export is possible to PNG, TIFF and PNM. [d] At present, only simple two-column data, imported as graph curves, are supported. [e] XYZ data are interpolated to a regular grid upon import. | |||||
