## Read images from various file formats.
##
## Reads an image as a matrix from the file @var{filename}.  If there is
## no file @var{filename}, and @var{ext} was specified, it will look for
## a file named @var{filename} and extension @var{ext}, i.e., a file named
## @var{filename}.@var{ext}.
##
## The size and class of the output depends on the
## format of the image.  A color image is returned as an
## @nospell{MxNx3} matrix.  Gray-level and black-and-white images are
## of size @nospell{MxN}.  Multipage images will have an additional 4th
## dimension.
## The bit depth of the image determines the
## class of the output: "uint8" or "uint16" for gray
## and color, and "logical" for black and white.
## Note that indexed images always return the indexes for a colormap,
## independent if @var{map} is a requested output.  To obtain the actual
## RGB image, use @code{ind2rgb}.
## See the Octave manual for more information in representing images.
##
## Some file formats, such as TIFF and GIF, are able to store multiple
## images in a single file.  @var{idx} can be a scalar or vector
## specifying the index of the images to read.  By default, Octave
## will only read the first page.
##
## Depending on the file format, it is possible to configure the reading
## of images with @var{param}, @var{val} pairs.  The following options
## are supported:
##
## @table @samp
## @item "Frames" or "Index"
## This is an alternative method to specify @var{idx}.  When specifying it
## in this way, its value can also be the string "all".
##
## @item "Info"
## This option exists for @sc{matlab} compatibility and has no effect.  For
## maximum performance while reading multiple images from a single file,
## use the Index option.
##
## @item "PixelRegion"
## Controls the image region that is read.  Takes as value a cell array
## with two arrays of 3 elements @code{@{@var{rows} @var{cols}@}}.  The
## elements in the array are the start, increment and end pixel to be
## read.  If the increment value is ommited, defaults to 1.
