NAME

icv - Convert images to and from various formats

SYNOPSIS

icv [-h] [-i file] [--input-format fmt] [-o file] [--output-format fmt] [-w width] [input_file] [output_file]

DESCRIPTION

icv is a tool to convert images to and from a variety of image formats. Currently support formats include:

Table 1. Supported ICV Image Formats

Format	Extension
PIX - pixel sequence of R/G/B values stored as unsigned chars.	pix
Double PIX - double precision pixel sequence	dpix
Portable Network Graphics	png
PPM - "lowest common denominator" Netbpm color iamge format	ppm
BW - black and white image data	bw
(TODO) Utah Raster Toolkit Run-Length Encoded (RLE)	rle

OPTIONS

File types will be deduced unless explicitly specfied with the input-format and/or output-format options. For file types like PIX that do not encode dimensional information, icv will attempt to guess the image size based on various assumptions (a square image, known sizes for image displays, paper sizes at various dots-per-inch, etc.). If the users does know the correct image width and height, they may be specified with the w and n options.

-h, --help

Print help and exit.

-i file, --input file

Specify an input file. If none is specified, the first non-option-related argument will be used as the input file name.

-o file, --output file

Specify an input file. If none is specified, the second non-option-related argument will be used as the output file name.

-w #, --width #

Specify the width of the input image. Useful for file types such as PIX that do not encode explicit size information.

-n #, --height #

Specify the height of the input image. Useful for file types such as PIX that do not encode explicit size information.

--input-format fmt

Explicitly specify input file format.

--output-format fmt

Explicitly specify output file format.
