## 16.9 Image Fields

An image Field is a Field with regular positions and with regular quadrilateral connections. Images also contain a "colors" component. The sign of the deltas of the "positions" component determines the orientation of the image.

Functions of the routines listed here include creating a field image, returning a pointer to the data in an image field, and returning information about an image.

`Field DXMakeImage()` | Creates a new empty image Field. See DXMakeImage.
`RGBColor *DXGetPixels()` | Returns a pointer to the data in an image Field. See DXGetPixels.
`Field DXGetImageSize() Object DXGetImageBounds();` | Return information about image Fields. See DXGetImageSize, DXGetImageBounds.
`Field DXOutputRGB()` | Writes an image to a file in RGB format. See DXOutputRGB.
`Object DXDisplayX() Object DXDisplayX8(); Object DXDisplayX12(); Object DXDisplayX24();` | Display an image on an X window. See DXDisplayX, DXDisplayX8, DXDisplayX12, DXDisplayX24.
