NAME

       img-ico - Img, Windows Icon Format (ico)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::ico  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

DESCRIPTION

       The  package  img::ico  is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its
       own, via package require img::ico.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports  files	containing
       raster images in the Windows Icon Format (ico). More specifically img::ico extends Tk's photo image type.

       The  name  of  the new format handler is ico.  This handler provides new additional configuration options. See section ICO OPTIONS for more
       detailed explanations.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

       [1]    Image data in ico format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

       [2]    The format name ico is recognized by the option -format.	In addition the value for the option is treated as list  and  may  contain
	      any of the special options listed in section ICO OPTIONS.

SUPPORTED ICO TYPES

	 1-bit pixels: Black and White.
	 4-bit pixels: Grayscale or indexed.
	 8-bit pixels: True-color (RGB, each channel 8 bit).
