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.
