🌸 NAME 🌸

an-fitstopnm is the tool that turns FITS images into PNM images. They're ugly, but they're our ugly 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

an-fitstopnm -i input-file

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -o file — Where the output goes. If you skip it, it heads to stdout (default) 📤
  • -e ext — Pick the FITS extension number. Default is 0 🧚
  • -p plane — Pick the image plane number. Default is 0 🌈
  • -m margin — How many pixels to ignore around the edges of the image. Default is 0 🖼️
  • -O — Switches to an ordinal transform. Without it, the default is mapping the 25-95 percentile range 📊

  • -N min — Picks the input value that becomes black ⬛
  • -x — Sets max to the observed maximum value 📈
  • -n — Sets min to the observed minimum value 📉

  • -M — Computes and prints the median value 🔢
