one can put just about any data stream into a TIFF. It
need not be an image.
EVERY "image format" is a container.
Hi
True but what I meant by that was that it might be a stream
of single dimensional data from a spectrograph or 3 dimensional
data form a seismograph. Not necessarily a picture in the normal
sense of what a jpg is but still an image.

What does it matter what the container is if it is well documented and
supported?
