CP FROM RAW - Copy Raw Image to SPIDER file

(2/28/03)

PURPOSE

Copies raw 8 or 16 bit integer, or 32 bit floating point input image to SPIDER file. You must know the dimensions of the input image. Can skip a header.   Example.

USAGE

.OPERATION: CP FROM RAW

.EXISTING RAW FILE: INP000
[Enter name of input file.]

.BITS / PIXEL IN INPUT IMAGE (8, 16, 32 or -32): 16
[Enter bits used for each pixel in input file. The 32 bit input is assumed to be floating point! An entry of -32 will read floating point data and flip the byte ordering to compensate for different "endedness" of data.]

.COLUMNS, ROWS & SLICES: 64 64 64
[Enter columns, rows, and slices in input file.]

.HEADER BYTES TO BE SKIPPED: 512
[Enter bytes in input file header that should be skipped.]

If the input file has 16 bits / pixel SPIDER will ask following two questions. If you are unsure of the correct answers try all four possible combinations and examine the output images to see which one is correct:

.MOST SIGNIFICANT BYTE (1 OR 2): 1
[Different computers have different byte ordering. For SGI files this is usually 1.]

.FOLD NEGATIVES? (N/Y): N
[Can compensate for data stored as 2's complement integers. Some data saved as signed integers may need this.]

.NEW SPIDER IMAGE FILE: PIC002
[Enter name for output file.]
