Here's a box diagram for a simple example: an uncompressed image 320 x 200 pixels x 3 bitplanes. The text to the right of the diagram shows the outline that would be printed by the Sift utility program for this particular file. +--------------------+ | | | 'FORM' 24070 | FORM 24070 ILBM | | -- +--------------------+ | | | | | 'ILBM' | | | | | | +----------------+ | | | | 'BMHD' 20 | | .BMHD 20 | | |----------------| | | | | 320, 200, | | | | | 0 .... | | | | +----------------+ | | | | | | +----------------+ | 24070 < | | 'CMAP' 21 | | .CMAP 21 bytes | | |----------------| | | | | 0, 0, 0, | | | | | 255 .... | | | | +----------------+ | | | 0 | | | +----------------+ | | | | 'BODY' 24000 | | .BODY 24000 | | |----------------| | | | | 0, 0, 0.... | | | | +----------------+ | | | | -- +--------------------+ The "0" after the cmap chunk is a pad byte.
