9.10. What Image types are available?

In addition to the Tk builtin bitmaps there is support for reading images from files in formats such as: X11 Bitmaps (.xbm), X Pixmaps (.xpm), and Graphics Inline Format (.gif). See the CrtPhImgFmt man page for more info (if you have Tk 4.X installed). (In order to support other formats you might also consider running through a netpbm filter.)

For perl generation of images see the question (later in this FAQ) on graphics modules.
