NAME

samples - input various format images to Scry  

SYNOPSIS

for the Sun:

hipsclient < imagefile > Animafile

rleclient < imagefile > Animafile

sunclient < imagefile > Animafile

for the Cray or Sun:

imageclient < sunset.image > Animafile

-i input file -o Anima file -w workstation -p RPC program number -r record -c compression -v -s corner_x corner_y -h  

DESCRIPTION

hipsclient can be used to compress, transmit, record and/or save to a file a HIPS image or sequence of HIPS images.

rleclient can be used to compress, transmit, record and/or save to a file an RLE image.

sunclient can be used to compress, transmit, record and/or save to a file a Sun rasterfile.

imageclient can be used to compress, transmit, record and/or save to a file the sample file contained in the imageclient directory.  

OPTIONS

Options may appear in any order. Later options override previous ones.

-i inputfile
Input file name. The file can also be gotten by redirection from stdin (see above).
-o filename
If no connection was set up with the -w option, save the image on the client. If it was, save the image on the server. Redirection to stdout can also save the image on the client (see above), but will have no effect if a connection was set up.
-w hostname
Use hostname to indicate the server that will display the image. If this argument is omitted, no connection to a server will be established, and the image(s) will be saved as an Anima file.
-p prognum
Contact the host at the specified program number. This is unnecessary with hosts with one display screen (like a PC), but is required for those that can specify the program number (like Suns).
-c compression
Select compression as Lempel-Ziv compression, CCC compression and run-length encoding, or color quantization (if the image is more than 8 bits per pixel); you may also select none. Choices:

(1) "c" : CCC and run-length encoding,

(2) "q" : quantization to 8 bits,

(3) "cl" : CCC, run-length encoding, and Lempel-Ziv,

(4) "ql" : quantization to 8 bits and Lempel-Ziv,

(5) or "n" : no compression (default).

-r option
Record the image(s) on videotape or videodisk. option can be either the desired frame number to seek to, or -1 to enable automatic seeking to the first available frame.
-s corner_x corner_y
This argument only has an effect if the server display resolution is smaller than that of the image. It sets the upper left corner of the portion of the image that will be displayed on the server.
-v
Flips the image around an x axis in its center.
-h
