Examples of Image Parameters in SGI Movie and Digital Media Libraries

Here are some examples which show the relationship between the memory location, spatial location, and temporal location of the lines of an image given different settings of the MV/DM parameters.

The examples were generated with the program imagelines.c, which you will recognize from the sample code in the document.
