The imagine utility enables a developers to maintain a large database of images in a single raw base_64 file format. A developer can use the GUI utility to add / delete / rename gif images in the library database. The application will save / open image database files and a developer can maintain multiple copies of image libraries to use with different applications or scripts.

The image library is then saved to a local file using any file name. For example a user can add 40 gif images to the “Imagine” utility and then save all of the gif images to a single image library file named: my_images.lib

To use the images in a developed Tcl/Tk application  or script a developer will:
1. source my_images.lib ( source the saved image lib into the wish interpreter )
2. decide which image he wishes to use ( for example house.gif )
3. Load the image: image create photo house -data $_base64(house.gif)
2. Then use the image: button .b -image house
4. Complete by packing the button: pack .b
