4.2 Input Format File Specification

Location of input format file

The fully qualified path and filename of the input format

file is specified in the environment variable ALICE_

INPUT_FORMAT_FILE.

The suggested location is

‘c:\al\alice\config\aliceInputFormats.cfg‘.

Syntax of input format file

The syntax of the input format configuration file follows

the general syntax of ARRILASER configuration files, as

for example the film format file. Each entry defines a

valid input format that is a pixel aspect (pixel width/

pixel height) associated with an image size. Whenever

images of this size are selected, ALICE displays a

choice of pixel aspects, denoted by names, in the “Input

Format” drop down list. Instead of giving image width

of height in pixels, the keyword “any” denotes any

arbitrary width or height. Definitions using the keyword

“other” are selectable if (and only if) no other entry

matches the current image size.
