7
9 edvips [OPTION...] vipsfile
10
12 edvips alters a VIPS image file's header. This is useful for setting
13 the resolution, for example.
14
15 The options are:
16
17 -x, --xsize=N set Xsize to N
18 -y, --ysize=N set Ysize to N
19 -b, --bands=N set Bands to N
20 -f, --format=F set BandFmt to F (eg. uchar)
21 -i, --interpretation=I
22 set Interpretation to I (eg. xyz)
23 -c, --coding=C set Coding to C (eg. labq)
24 -X, --xres=R set Xres to R pixels/mm
25 -Y, --yres=R set Yres to R pixels/mm
26 -u, --xoffset=N set Xoffset to N
27 -v, --yoffset=N set Yoffset to N
28 -e, --setext replace extension block with stdin
29
30 Be very careful when changing Xsize, Ysize, BandFmt or Bands. edvips
31 does no checking!
32
33
35 To set the Xsize to 512 and Bands to 6:
36
37 edvips --xsize=512 --bands=6 fred.v
38
39 or
40
41 edvips -x 512 -b 6 fred.v
42
43 Extract the XML metadata from an image with header(1), edit it, and
44 reattach with edvips(1).
45
46 header -f getext fred.v | sed s/banana/pineapple/ | edvips -e fred.v
