## NAME

         commands - an introduction to CVIPtools commands

## SYNOPSIS

         The following commands  are  explained  in  this  man  page:

                                    load
                                    queue
                                    view
                                    save
                                    quit

## DESCRIPTION

         load - "load" is used to load an image into the image queue.
         The format is:
                         "load <imagename.extension>"

         queue - "queue" commands refer to the image queue  structure
         in CVIPtools. The available commands are:

                     "pq"   - to display the image queue
                  "dq #" - to delete image # from the queue

         view - "view" is used to invoke the image  viewer  specified
         in CVIPtools, e.g. XV or PICVIEW.  The command format is:

                         "view <image queue-number>"

         Another feature of the view function allows the user to view
         a selected band of a multiband image. The format is:

                   "view <image queue-number> <band color>"

         The band color can be r,red,g,green,b,blue, in lower case or
         capitalized.

         A third feature of the view command is to display  a  histo-
         gram of a selected image. The format is:

                        "view <image queue-number> h"

         The 'h' can be replaced by the  word  'histogram'.   If  the
         image has multiple bands, all will be displayed.

         Another possibility is to use the format:

                        "view <image queue-number> l"

         This command will display a log-remapped version of  a  non-
         CVIP_BYTE  type image.  Note that the final character in the
         command is the letter "L", not the number "1".
         Similarly, you can invoke:

                  "view <image queue-number> <band color> l"

         This will display a grey-level, log-remapped  version  of  a
         non-CVIP_BYTE type image.

         save - "save" is used to save an image in VIP format to  the
         user's home directory.

         quit - "quit" or "q" is issued at the  'CVIPtools>>'  prompt
         to leave the program in an orderly fashion.
