Working with Raster Images

Raster images are pixel-based images, such as digital photographs (satellite
images, for example). Raster images are very useful as background images
underneath your vector data, for example, an aerial photograph of a city with
a layer of streets overlaying it.
Autodesk MapGuide supports various raster image file formats. The following
section contains a complete list of supported file formats.
