Hi folks,

Anyone know what the origin and purpose of these images is (or was)?  They
can be put into these categories:

 

photos of individuals (bali, dave, jim) - anyone know who these people are
and what the connection to libtiff is?

photos of animals (cat, smalliz) - anyone know the significance of these?

photos of objects (strike) - anyone know the significance of this?

computer-generated graphics (cover, jello, quad, ring) - various geometric
shapes, relevance unclear

computer screenshots (oxford) - looks like a shell prompt and system load
graph, relevance unclear

scanned linart (cramps) - anyone know the significance and history of this?

documentation icons (back, info, note, warning) - obsoleted by Sphinx
equivalents

 

With the conversion to Sphinx, I've copied over the use of all the images on
the same documentation pages with the exception of the documentation icons.
However, they don't appear to have any particularly obvious connection to
the pages they are associated with or any obvious connection to the TIFF
file format or library.  If the origin and copyrights are unclear, and they
don't add any particular value to the documentation, would anyone object to
removing them all?

 

 

Thanks,

Roger
