NAME

       fits2bitmap - Create a bitmap file from a FITS image.

DESCRIPTION

       usage: fits2bitmap [-h] [-e hdu] [-o filename] [--scale SCALE] [--power POWER]

              [--asinh_a   ASINH_A]   [--min_cut   MIN_CUT]  [--max_cut  MAX_CUT]  [--min_percent
              MIN_PERCENT] [--max_percent MAX_PERCENT] [--percent PERCENT] [--cmap colormap_name]
              filename [filename ...]

   positional arguments:
       filename
              Path to one or more FITS files to convert

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -e hdu, --ext hdu
              specify the HDU extension number or name

       -o filename
              Filename for the output image (Default is a PNG file with the same name as the FITS
              file)

       --scale SCALE
              Type of image scaling ("linear", "sqrt", "power", "log", or "asinh")

       --power POWER
              Power index for "power" scaling

       --asinh_a ASINH_A
              The value in normalized image where the asinh  curve  transitions  from  linear  to
              logarithmic behavior (used only for "asinh" scaling)

       --min_cut MIN_CUT
              The pixel value of the minimum cut level

       --max_cut MAX_CUT
              The pixel value of the maximum cut level

       --min_percent MIN_PERCENT
              The percentile value used to determine the minimum cut level

       --max_percent MAX_PERCENT
              The percentile value used to determine the maximum cut level

       --percent PERCENT
              The  percentage  of  the  image  values  used  to determine the pixel values of the
              minimum and maximum cut levels

       --cmap colormap_name
              matplotlib color map name
