13Description
14===========
15
16This is a grey-scale image with a depth of 12 bits per pixel, but with
17pixels from 2 sources interleaved and bit-packed. Each pixel is stored
18in a 24-bit word in the little-endian order. On a little-endian machine
19these pixels can be deinterlaced using

28pixels cross the byte boundary and have a ratio of 3 bytes for each
