The TIFF format a serious bear to read or write and developing a robust tool from scratch would involve considerable work. Fortunately, there's a really nifty library developed by Sam Leffler at SGI. It comes with the xv package (if memory serves) or you can FTP it from ftp.sgi.com. Look in /graphic/tiff. The current version appears to be 3.0 with a version 3.3 in beta test. If you're really feeling like beating your head against the wall, the TIFF format is described in _Graphics File Formats_ by Kay and Levine or you an FTP it from one of the following sites: zamenhof.cs.rice.edu:pub/graphics.formats ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu:/misc/file.formats/graphics.formats telva.ccu.uniovi.es:/pub/graphics/file.formats peipa.essex.ac.uk:/ipa/file.formats avalon.chinalake.navy.mil:/pub/format_specs spl -- Steve Lamont, SciViGuy -- (619) 534-7968 -- spl@szechuan.ucsd.edu San Diego Microscopy and Imaging Resource/UC San Diego/La Jolla, CA 92093-0608 "Where are we going, Walt Whitman?

Otherwise, the following is an edited version of it: pgm(5) FILE FORMATS pgm(5) NAME pgm - portable graymap file format DESCRIPTION The portable graymap format is a lowest common denominator grayscale file format. The definition is as follows: - A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A pgm file's magic number is the two characters "P2". - Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs). - A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal. - Whitespace. - A height, again in ASCII decimal. - Whitespace. - The maximum gray value, again in ASCII decimal. - Whitespace. - Width * height gray values, each in ASCII decimal, between 0 and the specified maximum value, separated by whi- tespace, starting at the top-left corner of the graymap, proceeding in normal English reading order. A value of 0 means black, and the maximum value means white. - Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored (comments). - No line should be longer than 70 characters. ....end.... You will find that the first two characters "P2" of the header are for pgm raw files. For pgm ascii decimal files these two charcters become "P3". Hope that helps you.

See the FITS basics and information posting on sci.astro.fits >for a start. I have produced some patches to add fits support to the xv-3.00a image display program. It allows you to convert to/from GIF, PM, PBM, X11 bitmap, Sun Rasterfile, BMP, PostScript, IRIS, JPEG and TIFF. It can handle IEE-754 floating point data on all host machines (including Vaxes and 64-bit architectures) and supports NAXIS=2 or 3. The only signifcant non-portability assumption is the use of the ASCII character set. The patches can be ftp'd from ftp-hst.ast.cam.ac.uk:/pub/software/xv-patches/FITS-v2.tar.Z N.B. xv is only shareware for personal use.

It has nothing to do with other IMG formats you are mentioning. The Imaging Technology format is a proprietary format, though it is well documented in the manuals of their image processors. You could therefore write a C conversion program yourself. For instance I wrote an IMG -> PCX conversion program about three years ago. It understands the IMG format as of 1985 since we bought a PC Vision frame grabber (not PLUS) and ImageAction/ImageMeasure softwares.

MIRA does read FITS, NIH-IMage can read FITS (if you tell it how: import, swap bytes,x- and y size, and the header size to skip. MIRA= Macintosh program to analyse astronomical images.

Althous sounds very PC-ish, you might want to use a macintoshe shareware program called GrafikConverter does hundreds of format conns. Otherwise, debabilizer might be a she IMG, however, is a highly confusing type of format, as in my knowledge, atleast 4 type of .img formats exist. rm the major Mac archives (sumex-aim, umich ard (a337ard@horus.sara.nl) From rsk@xray.hmc.psu.edu Sat Jun 25 16:07:12 1994 Status: RO X-VM-v5-Data: ([nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] ["278" "" "22" "June" "1994" "20:46:09" "GMT" "Robert S.
