     VIFF Image Map

     The plot information will be converted to a Khoros Image
     File Format, with the Z data saved in the image map. A one
     colunm by the "number of data points" rows map is generated.
     The map data type is always BYTE. The X and Y data aare not
     saved, only the Z data values. Note, that since the map data
     type is BYTE, the Z data values will be trucated/rounded to
     BYTE. This VIFF data file will not contain and image or
     location data.  Default values are used for image fields not
     applicable to the plot.

     The reason for generating a VIFF data file with the Z values
     stored in the map is to allow one to remap an image based on
     some function. For example, if one wanted to apply a gaus-
     sian function to an image, then one could generate gaussian
     data, scale and transform the data to range form 0 to 255
     and output the data in the map of a VIFF data file. Then the
     Khoros routine vhremap could be used to remap the image data
     to the gaussian function.
