Hi, I am trying to convert an Iris RGB (the ones that you can display by double clicking on it in the workspace or using ipaste) file to another file format, but I don't know what format the RGB file is in. So any information on that file format is welcome. Thanks. -Ching Tai -email ching@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu -OR ching-tai@uiuc.edu -OR just reply to this posting. Thank you.

Ching: I'm sending you a copy of a program entitled Imformat which should do the trick. It takes an images file and returns the type of image file. I also have conversion programs if you need one of these. -Robert Bond ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert Bond - University of Pennsylvania Chemical Engineering Labs Reply to: bond@picasso.seas.upenn.edu "Diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggy' untill you can find a rock." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So any information on that >file format is welcome. Thanks. SGI provides a Very Large Number of image manipulation tools which operate on SGI image format. I haven't listed these, below, but they can be found by typing man -k image. Also check out the istat utility's man page. This explains the image format header, which all SGI image tools recognize. We always ship filters to and from a number of other formats. You may be trying to convert to one of these, in which case your problem is solved. Here is a list of the image conversion filters I have on my system. These were taken from 'man -k image'. I've excluded the image manipulation tools from this list, but try them, they're fun! fromalias (6D) - converts an Alias image to an Iris image frombin (6D) - create an RGB Iris image file from a binary dump of image data fromcmap (6D) - convert a color map into an image with one scanline fromcube (6D) - convert a Cubicomp/Vertigo image file to IRIS format fromdi (6D) - convert an old .di dithered image into an RGB image fromface (6D) - convert a UNIX faceserver image into IRIS format fromgif (6D) - convert a GIF image into an IRIS image frommac (6D) - convert a MacPaint image into an IRIS image frompic (6D) - convert a MOVIE BYU .PIC image to an IRIS image fromppm (6D) - convert an image in Jef Poskanzer's format into an IRIS image fromrla (6D) - converts a Wavefront image to an IRIS image fromsun (6D) - convert a sun image into an IRIS image fromtarga (6D) - convert a targa image into an IRIS image fromtiff (6D) - convert a TIFF image into an IRIS image fromutah (6D) - convert a Utah Raster toolkit image into an IRIS imagefromxbm (6D) - convert an X Bitmap image into an IRIS image fromxud (6D) - convert an xwd file into an IRIS image fromxwd (6D) - convert an xwd file into an IRIS image fromyuv (6D) - convert an Abekas yuv image into an IRIS image toalias (6D) - Convert an IRIS image to an Alias image toascii (6D) - use text characters to represent an image tobin (6D) - Convert an Iris image to binary dump of pixel data tobw (1G) - convert a color image to black and white togif (6D) - convert an IRIS image to a Compuserve GIF image tomac (6D) - convert an IRIS image to MacPaint format tonews (6D) - convert an IRIS image into NeWS format topict (6D) - convert an IRIS image to Macintosh PICT format toppm (6D) - convert an IRIS image file into Jef Poskanzer's ppm image format tops (6D) - Convert an iris image to PostScript toscitex (6D) - Convert IRIS images into Scitex CT2T images tosun (6D) - convert an IRIS image to a sun raster file totarga (6D) - Convert from an IRIS image to a type 2 (RGB) targa image totiff (6D) - convert an IRIS image to TIFF format toutah (6D) - convert an IRIS image to Utah raster toolkit toyuv (6D) - convert an IRIS image to yuv format Cheers, David Duis Silicon Graphics, Inc. duis@bent.esd.sgi.com, x7337 Mountain View, California
