biff2raw

Name

biff2raw - write part of an image as raw, binary data

Syntax

 biff2raw [<option>...] <inimage> <outfile>
 biff2raw [<option>...] -o <outfile> <inimage>

Description

Writes all pixel values in all bands of inimage to outfile. Use - for outfile to write to stdout. Accepts all pixel types. The image is written in samples-lines-bands order.

Options

-o file: Send dump to file. This option is retained for backwards compatibility.
-pgm: Start with a pgm header. This option is obsolete. Use biff2pnm instead.
-xstart xstart: Start dump at xstart. Default 1.
-ystart ystart: Start dump at ystart. Default 1.
-xstop xstop: Stop dump at xstop. Default xsize.
-ystop ystop: Stop dump at ystop. Default ysize.
-xsize xsize: Horizontal window size.
-ysize ysize: Vertical window size.

If start, stop as well as size options are given, and inconsistently, the stop option is ignored. The given sizes are clipped against the band.

Restrictions

Writing (biff2raw) and reading (raw2biff) on hosts with different byte order will only work for byte images. Use option -swap for raw2biff to change the byte order.
