Online Tutorial Overview

Every semester, Scientific Computing and Visualization staff members offer a series of tutorials to members of the Boston University community. This tutorial, on image files and color output, is one course in that series and this version of it is intended to make as much of this material as possible available to interested parties, inside and outside of Boston University, at their own convenience and pacing.
