.. _BMP-FI:
BMP-FI Windows or OS/2 Bitmap
=============================
Extensions: ``.bmp``
A BMP format based on the Freeimage library.
This format supports grayscale, RGB and RGBA images.
The freeimage plugin requires a `freeimage` binary. If this binary
not available on the system, it can be downloaded manually from
<https://github.com/imageio/imageio-binaries> by either
- the command line script ``imageio_download_bin freeimage``
- the Python method ``imageio.plugins.freeimage.download()``
Parameters for saving
---------------------
compression : bool
Whether to compress the bitmap using RLE when saving. Default False.
It seems this does not always work, but who cares, you should use
PNG anyway.
