This sample shows how to use a binary sequence between Ruby and Tk. \
This reads the image data from the file as the binary sequence.

To treat the difference of encodings between on Ruby and on Tk seamlessly, \
Ruby/Tk converts the encoding of string arguments automatically. \
I think it is comfortable for users on almost all situations. \
However, when treats a binary sequence, the convert process makes troubles.

Tk::BinaryString class (subclass of Tk::EncodedString class) is the class \
to avoid such troubles. Please see the source code of this sample. \
A Tk::BinaryString instance is used to create the image for the center button.

ph3 = TkPhotoImage.new(:palette=>256)
