[Image-SIG] fromstring image question

[joperry at purdue.edu]

Hi everyone,

I am having difficulty using the Image.fromstring(args) command.  My data is
little endian 16 bit unsigned int.  When I try to use the correct decoder "F;16"
idle fails.  Here is an example:

img2=Image.fromstring("L",(512,512), buffed, "raw", "F;16")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#26>", line 1, in <module>
img2=Image.fromstring("L",(512,512), buffed, "raw", "F;16")
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1744, in fromstring
im.fromstring(data, decoder_name, args)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 570, in fromstring
d = _getdecoder(self.mode, decoder_name, args)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 373, in _getdecoder
return apply(decoder, (mode,) + args + extra)
ValueError: unknown raw mode

For a more accurate following of the problem I am using this forum for help too.

Thanks for any advice in advance,
