NAME
sgitopnm - convert a SGI image file to PNM
SYNOPSIS
sgitopnm
[-verbose]
[-channel c]
[SGIfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm.
sgitopnm reads an SGI image file as input and produces a PGM
image for a 2-dimensional (1 channel) input file, and a PPM image for
a 3-dimensional (3 or more channels) input file.
Alternatively, the program produces a PGM image of any one of the
channels in the input file.
OPTIONS
- -verbose
- Give some information about the SGI image file.
- -channel c
- Extract channel c of the image as a PGM image. Without
this option, sgitopnm extracts the first 3 channels as a PPM
image or, if the input has only 1 channel, extracts that as a PGM
image, and if the input has 2 channels, fails.
