floating point support

Hi,

I'm dealing with some images whose pixels are encoded in floating point values. Would it be possible to manipulate such images using Magick++?
I believe this question could be rephrased as does Magick++ have floating point pixel support?

Thanks,
Oguz

After delving into the c files, I've found that imagemagick doesn't deal with floating point data the way that I need. It is possible to construct an image from a floating point array, but internally imagemagick converts the floating values into integer types (char, short, int) depending on the QuantumDepth.

I need the data to stay as floating point all throughout the loading, manipulating, and saving steps. So unfortunately, it seems, imagemagick doesn't give full support to floating point images.

Cheers,
