NAME
sbigtopgm - convert an SBIG CCDOPS file to PGM
SYNOPSIS
sbigtopgm
[sbigfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
sbigtopgm reads an image file in the native format used by the Santa
Barbara Instrument Group (SBIG) astronomical CCD cameras, and produces a
PGM image as output. Additional information on SBIG cameras and docu-
mentation of the file format is available at the Web site,
]8;;http://www.sbig.com/\http://www.sbig.com/]8;;\ .
sbigtopgm recognizes some variation on the documented SBIG Type 3 for-
mat. It allows any capitalization in the header. It ignores all white-
space in the header except newlines. So a header line can end in new-
line, CRLF, or the bizarre LF-CR actually required by the spec.
OPTIONS
There are no command line options defined specifically for sbigtopgm,
but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(See ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ .)
