For more information on the iImage tool and its functions and features, see Chapter
11, “Working with Images”.
Importing ASCII Data
When you open a file containing ASCII data, you must specify the format of the file
before the iTool can read the data and place it into the Data Manager. The iTool opens
the ASCII Template dialog to allow you to specify the format of the ASCII data.
