# Module Image.ILBM

Description

  This submodule keep the ILBM encode/decode capabilities of the Image module.

  ILBM is a subtype of the Interchange File Format (IFF) used for storing picture data. ILBM stands for InterLeaved BitMap which refers to the way the pictures are stored. The image data is stored as a varying number of bitplanes, each storing one bit of data for each pixel in the image. The format supports horizontal and vertical RLE (Run Length Encoding) compression.

  The format also natively supports images using the somewhat esoteric image modes of the original Commodore Amiga, such as HAM (Hold And Modify)

  The format was commonly used for images on the Amiga.
