(* Additions to my previous message. *)

The *RasterGraphics* command/package you try to use is NOT the same 
*RasterGraphics* command that was developed by Eric W. Weisstein: 
originally it was located within the CellularAutomata.m package, then 
the function was moved to the package Plot.m, finally, as of 03.15.2005, 
   it was replaced by the standard Mathematica function *ArrayPlot* (all 
of this from the version history of the package CellularAutomata.m).

Therefore, for you own explorations, you should also use *ArrayPlot*.

Hope this helps,
