SPUG: pack and unpack of binary raster graphic files

James, 

I have a pretty specialized need.  I am not aware of
any tools in ImageMagick that would do what I need to
do.  I have to process through the scanlines looking
for repeating patterns then determine where these
patterns occur.  Once I have information that defines
some bounding rectangles, I have to either remove
external content or internal content depending upon
the situation.  Identifying the bounding rectangles is
the trick!  At that time, when I know the coordinates,
I might end up using ImageMagick.  

The number of graphics that I am working with is in
the 100's of thousands, and they are not necessarily
very consistent.

Thanks for the thought, it did cause me to review the
functionality available in ImageMagick.

Regards,

Rich Wood
