PROGRAM:
NAME
iofits - FITS data format conversion (pixel depth)
SYNOPSIS
iofits [options] <in_fits> <out_fits> <depth>
DESCRIPTION
iofits converts FITS files of any pixel depth to another pixel depth (bits per pixel).
Depth is given as in the FITS norm :
· 8 bits per pixel, unsigned.
· 16 bits per pixel, signed
· 32 bits per pixel, signed
· -32 IEEE floating point
· -64 IEEE double precision floating point
OPTIONS
-v Verbose mode.
-M megs
Memory handling. To avoid saturate memory for huge cubes, this parameter specifies
the maximum amount of memory to use before swapping data to disk. The amount is
given in Megabytes. (1Meg = 1,048,576 Bytes) The process time is then considerably
slowed down. Default value is 50 megs.
