Introduction

The PYX format stores uncompressed graphics really, really quickly. It doesn't support comments, blocks, markers, chunks, alternate color spaces, subsampling, rhinoceroses, streaming, lossy compression, a quality factor, Albanian fruit, EXIF orientation, integral GPS coordinates, polysorbate 80, liberal tendencies or anything resembling the letter Q.

It just stores pictures.

Users of the PYX format can store pictures as PYX files with a high degree of security, in that nobody who hasn't downloaded the Graphic Workshop Plugin SDK and compiled the example plugin is likely to be able to open them.

Admittedly, this could be a bug or a feature — we're still working on that one.

In Depth

Seriously?

With the PYX plugin successfully installed in Graphic Workshop, the Destination window should include a button for PYX in the plugin column.

To create a PYX file with Graphic Workshop and the PYX plugin, convert from something else to PYX.

To view a PYX file, double-click on it.

To convert from PYX to something else, do what you did to convert to PYX but choose a format everyone's heard of, such as JPG. People like JPG files… they're like old slippers on a winter afternoon. If you live in someplace warm, like Florida, ignore the foregoing sentence.

Setup

You can configure the options of the PYX plugin like this:

1. Click on the Setup button – the gear – in the Graphic Workshop Professional tool bar to open Setup.
   
   
2. Select the Files tab.
   
   
3. Open the Plugin Configuration combo and select (PYX) PYX Image File Format.
   
   
4. Click on Go to the right of the combo.
   
   

If the PYX format had any configurable items, they'd certainly be in this window.
