18       -3     Extract  the  given  color  from the SPOT image.  The colors are
19              infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet, although I don't  know
20              which  corresponds  to  which number.  If the image is in color,
21              spottopgm announces this on Standard Error.  The  default  color
22              is 1.

PARAMETERS

30              Extract  the specified rectangle from the SPOT image.  Most SPOT
31              images are 3000 lines long and 3000 or more columns wide. Unfor‐
32              tunately,  the  SPOT  format  only  gives  the width and not the
33              length.  The width is printed on standard  error.   The  default
34              rectangle is the width of the input image by 3000 lines.

DESCRIPTION

40       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
41
42       spottopgm converts the named inputfile to PGM format, defaulting to the
43       first color and the whole SPOT image unless you specify otherwise  with
44       the options.

LIMITATIONS

48       spottopgm  doesn't  determine  the length of the input file; this would
49       involve two passes over the input file.   It  defaults  to  3000  lines
50       instead.
51
52       spottopgm  could  extract  a three-color image (as a PPM), but I didn't
53       feel like making the program more complicated than it is now.  Besides,
54       there  is  no  one-to-one  correspondence  between red, green, blue and
55       infrared, visible and ultraviolet.
56
57       I've had only a limited number of SPOT images to play with, and  there‐
58       fore wouldn't guarantee that this will work on any other images.
