rawtopgm(1) AMIGA (15 June 1993) rawtopgm(1)
NAME
rawtopgm - convert raw grayscale bytes into a portable
graymap
SYNOPSIS
rawtopgm [-headerskip N] [-rowskip N] [-tb|-topbottom]
[width height] [imagedata]
DESCRIPTION
Reads raw grayscale bytes as input. Produces a portable
graymap as output. The input file is just grayscale bytes.
If you don't specify the width and height on the command
line, the program will check the size of the image and try
to make a quadratic image of it. It is an error to supply a
non quadratic image without specifying width and height.
The maxval is assumed to be 255.
OPTIONS
-headerskip
If the file has a header, you can use this flag to skip
over it.
-rowskip
If there is padding at the ends of the rows, you can
skip it with this flag. Note that rowskip can be a
real number. Amazingly, I once had an image with 0.376
bytes of padding per row. This turned out to be due to
a file-transfer problem, but I was still able to read
the image.
-tb -topbottom
Flips the image upside down. The first pixel in a pgm
file is in the lower left corner of the image. For
conversion from images with the first pixel in the
upper left corner (e.g. the Molecular Dynamics and
Leica confocal formats) this flips the image right.
This is equivalent to rawtopgm [file] | pnmflip -tb .
BUGS
If you don't specify the image width and height, the program
will try to read the entire image to a memory buffer. If you
get a message that states that you are out of memory, try to
specify the width and height on the command line. Also, the
-tb option consumes much memory.
