===============================================
 Bob's I/O Routines for Images of Various type
===============================================

.. todolist::

This module provides a plugin for :py:mod:`bob.io.base` that allows |project|
to read and write images using its native API (:py:func:`bob.io.base.load` and
:py:func:`bob.io.base.save`).

At present, this plugin provides support for the following types of images:

* TIFF (gray and color)
* JPEG (gray and color)
* GIF (color only)
* PNG (gray and color)
* BMP (color only)
* Netpbm images (binary - PBM, gray - PGM, color - PPM)

Additionally, we provide the pure C++ interface to read and write these kind of images, see :doc:`cpp_api`.
