+This script generates an PNG image from a SALIS save file (or a list of saved
+files), on which each pixel corresponds to a single byte on the simulation.
+It's useful for identifying large scale structures and appreciating the
+large-scale evolution of the world.
+
+Tu run it, simply call it from within the ./bin/ directory inside the SALIS
+main directory, such as:
+
+../plugins/imager.py def.sim.*
+
+Calling this will create a PNG image for each file beggining with "def.sim".
