pgmtosbig - Man Page

• Convert a PGM image file to the SBIG CCDOPS format: pgmtosbig path/to/input_file.pgm > path/to/output.sbig

tldr.sh

pgmtosbig

[pgmfile]

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

pgmtosbig reads a PGM image as input and produces a Santa Barbara Instrument Group SBIG Type 3 image as output.

Note that this format is distinct from the SBIG ST-4 format.

• The image is uncompressed
• The image says it is from a "ST-6" camera
• The image header has these lines:
• camera type
• height
• width
• saturation level  

There are no command line options defined specifically for pgmtosbig, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See Common Options .)
