14 fitstopnm - convert a FITS file into a portable anymap
15 !!SYNOPSIS
16
17
18 __fitstopnm__ [[__-image__ ''N''] [[__-noraw__]
19 [[__-scanmax__] [[__-printmax__] [[__-min__ ''f'']
20 [[__-max__ ''f''] [[''FITSfile'']
21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 Reads a FITS file as input. Produces a portable pixmap if
25 the FITS file consists of 3 image planes (NAXIS = 3 and
26 NAXIS3 = 3), a portable graymap if the FITS file consists of
27 2 image planes (NAXIS = 2), or whenever the __-image__
28 flag is specified. The results may need to be flipped top
29 for bottom; if so, just pipe the output through __pnmflip
30 -tb.__
31 !!OPTIONS
32
33
34 The __-image__ option is for FITS files with three axes.
35 The assumption is that the third axis is for multiple
36 images, and this option lets you select which one you
37 want.

39
40 Flags __-min__ and __-max__ can be used to override
41 the min and max values as read from the FITS header or the
42 image data if no DATAMIN and DATAMAX keywords are found.
43 Flag __-scanmax__ can be used to force the program to
44 scan the data even when DATAMIN and DATAMAX are found in the
45 header. If __-printmax__ is specified, the program will
46 just print the min and max values and quit. Flag
47 __-noraw__ can be used to force the program to produce an
48 ASCII portable anymap.
49
50
51 The program will tell what kind of anymap is writing. All
52 flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
53 prefix.
