       pgmtosbig - convert PGM image to SBIG format

SYNOPSIS

       pgmtosbig

       [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pgmtosbig  reads  a  PGM image as input and produces a Santa Barbara Instrument Group SBIG
       Type 3 image as output.

       Note that this format is distinct from the SBIG ST-4 format.

       •      The image is uncompressed

       •      The image says it is from a "ST-6" camera

       •      The image header has these lines:

       •      camera type

       •      height

       •      width

       •      saturation level
