This table lists the formats supported at the time of writing:
Functions which load images from a file attempt to identify the image type from the file type.
Call the function
list-known-image-formats
to list the formats that the current platform supports for reading and drawing.
Note: On X/Motif LispWorks uses the freeware
imlib
library which seems to be in all Linux distributions. However it is not in some UNIX systems, so you may need to install it.
Note: On Microsoft Windows ICO images are supported for certain situations such as
capi:button
and
draw-image
- see the
LispWorks CAPI Reference Manual
for details.
Note: On Microsoft Windows LispWorks additionally supports Windows Icon files with scaling - see
load-icon-image
in the
LispWorks CAPI Reference Manual
.
Note: On Microsoft Windows, only bitmaps with maximum 24 bits per pixel are supported.
Note: LispWorks 4.3 and previous versions supported only Bitmap images.
