00024  * Internal Implementation.
00025  * \par
00026  * Supports RAW binary images. You must know image parameters a priori. \n
00027  * You must set the IM_INT attributes "Width", "Height", "ColorMode", "DataType" before the imFileReadImageInfo/imFileWriteImageInfo functions.
00028  * \par
00029  * The data must be in binary form, but can start in an arbitrary offset from the begining of the file, use attribute "StartOffset".
00030  * The default is at 0 offset. 
00031  * \par
00032  * Integer sign and double precision can be converted using attribute "SwitchType". \n
00033  * The conversions will be BYTE<->CHAR, USHORT<->SHORT, INT<->UINT, FLOAT<->DOUBLE.
00034  * \par
00035  * Byte Order can be Little Endian (Intel=1) or Big Endian (Motorola=0), use the attribute "ByteOrder", the default is the current CPU.
00036  * \par
00037  * The lines can be aligned to a BYTE (1), WORD (2) or DWORD (4) boundaries, ue attribute "Padding" with the respective value.
00038  * \par
00039  * See \ref im_raw.h

00044     Data Types: <all>
00045     Color Spaces: all, except MAP.
00046     Compressions: 
00047       NONE - no compression 
00048     Can have more than one image, depends on "StartOffset" attribute.
00049     Can have an alpha channel.
00050     Components can be packed or not.
00051     Lines arranged from top down to bottom or bottom up to top.
00052     Handle() returns a imBinFile* pointer.
