===== LOAD TILE  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = LOAD TILE( filename )
     TILE LOAD filename TO index

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''LOAD TILE'' command allows you to load an image and to convert it into 
an ''TILE''.

The command support a set of modern image format, like:

  * JPEG baseline & progressive

  * PNG 1/2/4/8/16-bit-per-channel

  * TGA

  * BMP (non-1bpp, non-RLE)

  * PSD (composited view only, no extra channels, 8/16 bit-per-channel)

  * GIF

  * HDR (radiance rgbE format)

  * PIC (Softimage PIC)

  * PNM (PPM and PGM binary only)

The image will be converted into a way that can be efficiently drawn 
on the screen using the tiles.

Since it is possible to load only one file of the same type at a time, it is necessary 
to be able to indicate an "alias" with which to exceed this limit. In this regard, there is also 
the ''AS'' syntax, which allows you to load the same file several times but with different names.
