OutputRawImage

Module used for writing an image (or sequences of images) to file(s). The files are saved in RAW format with one byte per pixel. Since Ikaros uses floats between 0 and 1 to represent images the input is first multiplied with 255. This can be changed using the scale parameter. The size of the file is not saved in the file.

Bugs

If %d is not in the filename each new file will overwrite the previous. Maybe this is a feature.
