Hi,

On the Wikipedia there is a mention about HAM5 and HAM7 display modes. What I would like to know is it is possible to save a IFF ILBM file in these modes just like I can save IFF ILBM in HAM6 or HAM8?

Regards

Not that I'm aware of.  Are you sure the Wikipedia article is correct?

No idea. Here is an article where HAM5/7 modes are mentioned:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold-And-Modify

"HAM5 was not as flexible and was not used as widely.". The same about HAM7.

Here they can already decode HAM10 files from AAA(?) chipset, however they have no samples to test: :juggler:

"The decoder supports classic palete IFF, IFF 24, ILBM, PBM, HB, EHB, HAM5-6-7-8-10 (although I haven't found any HAM 5-7-10 to test it, it should work)."

Either those were proposed image formats for the AAA Hombre chipset or they were mixing up HAM with ANIM formats.

Neither. These aren't different display modes. HAM5 is just HAM6 with 5 bitplanes. Similarily HAM7 is HAM8 with just 7 bitplanes.

They were mostly used in scene demos I think.
