What image/file formats xyscan supports depends slightly on the platform. By default, xyscan supports the following formats:
Format | Description |
BMP | Windows Bitmap |
GIF | Graphic Interchange Format (optional) |
JPG | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
JPEG | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
PNG | Portable Network Graphics |
PBM | Portable Bitmap |
PGM | Portable Graymap |
PPM | Portable Pixmap |
XBM | X11 Bitmap |
XPM | X11 Pixmap |
TIF and PNG works on most platforms tested. Note that you can load any format (PDF, EPS, ...) that is not directly supported in xyscan by using a browser (such as Acrobat Reader) that is able to display the file format. Simply copy/paste image from the browser into xyscan (see Using the Clipboard).
