Image

Image files contain 2-dimensional arrays that store 4-byte floating point values. Images files can be either real or complex-valued. Typically, all images are real-valued except for images that have been processed by Fourier transforms. As you might expect, complex-valued images are twice the size of real-valued images since both a real and imaginary component need to be stored. When complex-valued images are viewed on the screen, only the real component is displayed.

Images files can store any number of text labels. CTSim uses these labels for recording history information regarding the creation and modifications of images.
