The FIT image format is supported by the SGI ImageVision
Library (IL).  IL provides file I/O calls which support
the FIT format.

I'm not sure the file format is "documented" in the sense that
we publish a document detailing its format.  However, if you
purchase the ImageVision Library Development option, you are
provided with the code to implement the FIT format, as part of
a code example for adapting the IL for new image formats.

Of course, if you have the IL, you have no need to roll your
own FIT image support, as that is already taken care of for you.

You can order the ImageVision Library development option
directly from SGI.  It costs about $500, and is well worth it
if you are writing any serious image code on our system.  It
is essential if you are programming one of the high-end
graphics systems, such as VGX or Reality Engine, or have a
multi-processor system.
