Loading Pictures

[Thomas Halahan]

Hi,

I am trying to load pictures into the Octave image format.  There
does not seem to be a facility to load images from another non-octave
format such as jpeg, tiff bitmap whatever.  I have looked at
;loadimage' and 'load' but no results.  The actual original file type
does not matter as I can always change that (in xv).  

Question> Does anyone know of a way of loading my images into Octave?
 I don't really want to be doctoring large ascii files if possible.

Thanks 

Tom
