22 Reads a portable anymap as input. Produces a FITS (Flexible
23 Image Transport System) file as output. The resolution of
24 the output file is either 8 bits/pixel, or 16 bits/pixel,
25 depending on the value of maxval in the input file. If the
26 input file is a portable bitmap or a portable graymap, the
27 output file consists of a single plane image (NAXIS = 2). If
28 instead the input file is a portable pixmap, the output file
29 will consist of a three-plane image (NAXIS = 3, NAXIS3 = 3).

35 Flags __-min__ and __-max__ can be used to set
36 DATAMAX, DATAMIN, BSCALE and BZERO in the FITS header, but
37 do not cause the data to be rescaled.
