   hi emacsers

   After struggling for quite a while, I fail to let my emacs(on Ubuntu) to
open bmp images.

   ,-------- Variables in my laptop
   | (image-type-available-p 'bmp): nil
   | (describe-variable 'image-types): svg png gif tiff jpeg xpm postscript
xbm pbm
   `--------

   ,----------- imagemagick has been installed
   | wei@wei-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
   | Reading package lists... Done
   | Building dependency tree
   | Reading state information... Done
   | imagemagick is already the newest version.
   | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
   `-----------

   Any hint is welcome for me to move further. Thanks in advance.

The NEWS of GNU Emacs 24.0.90 contain:

	*** If Emacs is compiled with ImageMagick support (see Startup
	Changes), the function `imagemagick-types' returns a list of image
	file extensions that your installation of ImageMagick supports.  The
	function `imagemagick-register-types' enables ImageMagick support for
	these image types, minus those listed in `imagemagick-types-inhibit'.
	
	See the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual for more information.

They're putting dimes in the hole in my head to see the change in me.

Hi peter

Do you mean that if supporting bmp in emacs, we need to compile emacs with
ImageMagick?

As a lazy man, I typically use apt-get to install emacs on ubuntu.
All I want is just view bmp images in emacs, no editing.
Is there any other way to support bmp in emacs?

Denny

Not only that, but you need Emacs-24.

I'd expect Emacs-24 in Ubuntu to be compiled with imagemagick support.

It shouldn't be too difficult to write some Elisp code that takes a BMP
and converts it (using some external tool) to PNG so that Emacs can
display it.
