Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.

"Packed pixel" format (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane) or bitplane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes). The program checks the colormap and uses an internal one if the provided colormap is completely black.

Colormapped files with 256 colors

8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.

24bit truecolor files

24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.

32bit truecolor files
