NAME

6       gta - a tool to manipulate Generic Tagged Arrays (GTAs).
7

DESCRIPTION

9       A GTA is an n-dimensional array with metadata in the form of tags (key-
10       value pairs).
11       A GTA file or stream contains a sequence of such arrays.
12       Each array has n dimensions. For example, images have 2 dimensions, and
13       volume data sets have 3.
14       Each  array element consists of m components. These components can have
15       different types. For example, image data is  commonly  stored  using  3
16       components of type uint8.
17
18       The  gta  tool provides commands to manipulate GTAs. These commands are
19       organized in the following categories:
20
21       Commands that operate on element component level.
22              For example, these commands add or remove components, or  change
23              their types.
24
25       Commands that operate on dimension level.
26              For  example, these commands add or remove dimensions, or change
27              their sizes.
28
29       Commands that operate on array level.
30              For example, these commands create or compare arrays, or  modify
31              array tags.
32
33       Commands that operate on stream level.
34              For example, these commands add or remove arrays.
35
36       Commands to convert from/to other file formats.
37              These  commands  import  and  export GTAs from/to many different
38              file formats.
