Further information
1. Each of the parameters is used as a filter: the resulting list will keep only images with the corresponding property matching the filter. Filters support wildcard charcaters
"*" (any sequence of character possibly empty) and
"?" (any character). An empty string is equivalent to
"*" (any string).
2. Images created by the program
aec2setup have the string
"Xpress for AEC2" included in their description: this can be used to find existing images compatible with the package.
