tga is a Go package for decoding and encoding TARGA image format.
It supports RLE and raw TARGA images with 8/15/16/24/32 bits per pixel, monochrome, truecolor and colormapped images. It also correctly handles origins, attribute type in extensions area and successfully passes TGA 2.0 conformance suite (http://googlesites.inequation.org/tgautilities).
Encoding an image doesn't involve conversion if it's image.Gray, image.RGBA
or image.NRGBA. Other types are converted to image.NRGBA prior to encoding.
