NAME

       ristosds - convert several RIS8 images to one 3D SDS

SYNOPSIS

       ristosds input-file-1, input-file-2...  [-o output-file]

DESCRIPTION

       ristosds  creates  a single HDF file consisting of a three-dimensional Scientific Data Set
       (SDS) from a set of HDF files containing one or more raster  images.  All  images  in  the
       input  HDF  files  must  have the same dimensions. If a palette is to be included with the
       images, it should be in the first HDF input file. Only one palette can be associated  with
       the images; any additional palette data encountered by the utility after the first palette
       has been processed will be ignored.

OPTIONS

       -o outfile
              Write the output to outfile.

EXAMPLES

       The contents of a directory consists of 20 files named "storm001.hdf", "storm002.hdf". ...
       "storm020.hdf".  Each  file  contains  a single RIS8 with a 100 x 200 raster image. A file
       that combines these 20 raster images into a 32-bit floating-point SDS with the  dimensions
       100 x 200 x 20 can be created with the following ristosds command:

               ristosds storm*.hdf -o storm.hdf
