See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna> and especially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lenna.png for historical information concerning this test image. It is clear from these references that the playboy connection annoys a signicant fraction of the population, and the licensing is problematic. Also, I must say I am frankly tired of looking at Lena's face especially in the distorted forms. (I have just finished the process of getting example 20 to work correctly for our new Fortran binding so I have just completed watching many _slow_ repetitions of that example!) Anyhow, I would welcome the opportunity to try a new properly licensed test image for example 20. And I think a picture of a pet would be better than using a picture of a human since distortion of the image is part of our example 20 test. So I would like to change the test image to a PPM gray-scale version of <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Westie_Chloe.jpg>. PPM is easy to read in (e.g., in example 20), and gray scale is easiest for our cmap1 colours (which are used by plimage) to interpret (although any image format with paletted colors as opposed to direct colors would work). I particularly like that image as a test image because the subject is cute, we obviously won't lose much information converting it PPM gray-scale, and the image is licensed under the "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported" license which apparently allows us to use the image any way we like so long as we give proper credit to its author. Is everyone willing to go along with this plan? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
