Thanks for this feature suggestion. However, there are currently no plans
to use 16-bit image data internally, i.e. reading 16-bit images is possible
but the internal storage is always 8 bits per channel. There are too many
assumptions throughout the code regarding the data size and the
documentation of d() can't be changed w/o breaking programs.

FLTK is not meant as an image processing library. FLTK's image features are
limited to reading and displaying basic (i.e. 8-bit) images.

I'm sorry to say that the requested change is not going to happen in the
near future, hence I'm closing this RFE.

You may however start a thread in fltk.coredev if you want to discuss this
topic with the FLTK development team.
