^[a]Spectra curves are imported as graphs, positional information is lost. ^[b]Not all variants are implemented. ^[c]Data are exported in a fixed attached native-endian float point format. ^[d]Import support relies on Gdk-Pixbuf and hence may vary among systems. ^[e]Usually lossy, intended for presentational purposes. 16bit grayscale export is possible to PNG, TIFF and PNM. ^[f]At present, only simple two-column data, imported as graph curves, are supported. ^[g]XYZ data are interpolated to a regular grid upon import.
