6.3 Format of deposit image

``imageBuff'' is run of bytes representing a rectangular portion of the image. This buffer represents image using a row-major format, so 0-based pixel (x,y) (x increasing to the right, y increasing downward in typical graphics fashion) is stored at array offset ``x+y*width''.

If the image is gray-scale (as determined by liveVizConfig, below), each pixel is represented by one byte. If the image is color, each pixel is represented by 3 consecutive bytes representing red, green, and blue intensity.

If the image is floating-point, each pixel is represented by a single `float', and after assembly colorized by calling the user-provided routine below. This routine converts fully assembled `float' pixels to RGB 3-byte pixels, and is called only on processor 0 after each client request.

void liveVizFloatToRGB(liveVizRequest &req,
        const float *floatSrc, unsigned char *destRgb,
        int nPixels);
