NAME
     iset - set the type of an image.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/iset newtype imgfiles

DESCRIPTION
     iset sets the type of an image.  This determines which part of the color
     map ipaste uses to display the image.  The four types of viewable images
     are NORMAL, DITHERED, SCREEN, and COLORMAP.  These are the four values
     newtype can have (each must be spelled in all capital letters as above).

     A NORMAL image is an RGB or monochrome image.

     A DITHERED image is a color image using only 8 bits to represent the
     original 24-bit true RGB image.  This image type is obsolete on 4D
     machines.

     A SCREEN image contains color indexes.

     A COLORMAP image is used to store colormaps.
