ims_load

(tmp_for_tar/imgio/ims_load.m)

Function Synopsis

ims = ims_load ( imfile )

Help text

       ims = ims_load ( imfile ) - Load an image, returning a sructure

 Reads an image file and returns a structure with fields :

 im     :  H x W (gray) : Pixel greylevel or RGB values. These are 
          3H x W (rgb)  : positive or zero integers.

 rgb    : 1             : True if the image is RGB, false if it is gray.

 maxval : 1             : Maximal value of elements in  im.

 file   : string        : Name of the original file.

 See also : ims_save, ims_show, set_viewer.

 This function is basically a wrapper around Ariel Tankus's readimagefile().
