&lt;&lt;Snipped: reason for needing graphics&gt;&gt;

&gt;I suggest looking at the PPM format (portable pixel map)  It is a very
&gt;simple format, and I have used it for maps I've made.  In a nutshell,
&gt;you output the color values one after another for each pixel.  There is
&gt;a binary and even an ascii text mode.  The header is a very simple.
&gt;
&gt;You can view and edit these PPM files in various unix paint programs
&gt;(gimp, etc).  Paint shop pro, and I think photoshop, for windows also
&gt;supports it.


Photoshop for windows does for sure.
&gt;
&gt;Sorry, I don't have any references handy.  Search the net for references to
&gt;netpbm and ppm.
&gt;


<A  HREF="http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~mxr/gfx/2d/PPM.txt">http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~mxr/gfx/2d/PPM.txt</A>

has a simple description.

BTW, I asked this same question (for the same reason) of the list about a
year ago. Great answers are in the archives.
