IMASUM

Sums the intensity in a BIM file. Despite the name of this function, currently only BIM files, and not IMA files, may be summed. This limitation is due to the low number of grey scales that are supported in the IMA file format. For a description of the IMA and BIM file formats, see "The IMA format" and "The BIM format".

Syntax:

IMASUM filename1, filename2, outfilename
 

Discussion:

This keyword requires the names of three BIM files (which need not be distinct). The BIM extension must be provided on all three file names. The filenames may be enclosed in quotes if any blank or other special characters are used. The files must be located in the <data>\<images> folder, which is where the output file will be. The two source files must have the same number of pixels and color channels, or an error message will result.

Example:

IMASUM "A.BIM", "B.BIM", "sum of A and B.BIM"
