NAME

       convert_image - convert images to CBF format using a template

SYNOPSIS

       convert_image [options]

DESCRIPTION

       convert_image is a program that can convert images from a MAR180, MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD detector and
       convert them to CBF format.

       convert_image  requires two arguments: imagefile and cbffile. Those are the primary input and output. The
       detector type is extracted from the image file or from the command line, converted to lower case and used
       to construct the name of a template cbf file to use for the copy. The template file name is of  the  form
       template_name_columnsxrows.

       To run makecbf with the example image, type:

       makecbf example.mar2300 test.cbf

OPTIONS

       -i input_img
              (default: stdin) the input file as an image in smv, mar300, or mar345 format.  If input_img is not
              specified or is given as "-", it is copied from stdin to a temporary file.

       -p template_cbf
              the  template  for  the  final  cbf  to be produced.  If template_cbf is not specified the name is
              constructed  from  the  first   token   of   the   detector   name   and   the   image   size   as
              template_<type>_<columns>x<rows>.cbf

       -o output_cbf
              (default:  stdout ) the output cbf combining the image and the template.  If the output_cbf is not
              specified or is given as "-", it is written to stdout.

       -d detectorname
              a detector name to be used if none is provided in the image header.

       -F     when writing packed compression, treat the entire image as one line with no averaging

       -m [x|y|x=y]
              (default x=y, square arrays only) mirror the array in the x-axis (y -> -y) in the y-axis (x -> -x)
              or in x=y ( x -> y, y-> x)

       -r n   rotate the array n times 90 degrees counter clockwise x -> y, y -> -x for each rotation, n = 1,  2
              or 3

       -R     if setting a beam center, set reference values of axis settings as well as standard settings

       -z distance
              detector distance along Z-axis

       -c category_alias=category_root

       -t tag_alias=tagroot
              map  the  given alias to the given root, so that instead of outputting the alias, the root will be
              presented in the output cbf instead.  These options may be repeated as many times as needed.
