[Matplotlib-users] importing images

[Rein v. d. B. (UvA) <re...@sc...>]

What is the prefered way to read in images in numarray/matplotlib?

I know of PIL but it seems like a lot of overlap with numarray just to read an 
image from file.

I really need to read only one type of file (say ppm) and then i can use 
imagemagick to convert from and to that format.
