/**

 Interface to the KDE Image IO plugin architecture.
 This library allows KDE applications to read and write images in a
 variety of formats, transparently via the TQImage and TQPixmap load
 and save methods.
 The image processing backends are written as image handlers compatible
 with the TQImageIO handler format. The backends are loaded on demand
 when a particular format is requested. Each format can be identified
 by a unique type id string.
 <b></b>ormats:
 Currently supported formats include:

	<li>
	BMP     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	EPS     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	EXR     \<read\>
	</li>

	<li>
	G3      \<read\>
	</li>

	<li>
	GIF     \<read\>
	</li>

	<li>
	ICO     \<read\>
	</li>

	<li>
	JP2     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	JPEG    \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	NETPBM  \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	PCX     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	PNG     \<read\> \<write, only with newer libraries\>
	</li>

	<li>
	TGA     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	TIFF    \<read\>
	</li>

	<li>
	XBM     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	XPM     \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>

	<li>
	XV      \<read\> \<write\>
	</li>
	 <b></b>sage:
 Simply call the KImageIO.registerFormats() static method declared
 in kimageio.h.
 <b></b>xample:
 <pre>
 #include<qpixmap.h>
 #include<kimageio.h>
 int main( String[] args )
  {
   ....
   KImageIO.registerFormats();
   ...   // start main program
 }
