pgmtost4 - Man Page

• Convert a PGM image file to the SBIG ST-4 format: pgmtost4 path/to/input_file.pgm > path/to/output.st4

tldr.sh

pgmtost4

[pgmfile]

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

pgmtost4 reads a PGM image as input and produces a Santa Barbara Instrument Group SBIG ST-4 camera CCD image as output.

Note that this format is distinct from the SBIG format used with mos SBIG cameras.  For that, see pgmtosbig

• 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 pgmtost4, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See Common Options .)
