vctor(1)

PROGRAM
vctor - Convert COMPLEX data to REAL form

SYNTAX

vctor

-i  input image

-o  resulting output image

[-t]
    Choose type of mapping from COMPLEX to REAL:
    1 (Real part),
    2 (Imaginary part),
    3 (Magnitude),
    or 4 (Phase)
       [default = 1]

[-V]
    Gives the version for vctor

[-U]
    Gives the usage for vctor

[-P]
    Prompts for command line options

[-A [file1]]
    Creates the answer file called vctor.ans or file1

[-a [file1]]
    Uses vctor.ans or file1 as the answer file

DESCRIPTION
vctor performs simple mappings of COMPLEX data to REAL form. A COMPLEX image is transformed into a REAL image by one of four methods:

1   Assign the real part of the input to the output data.

2   Assign the imaginary part of the input to the output data.

3   Assign the magnitude of the input to the output data.

4   Assign the phase of the input to the output data.

The output is the same type as the input (regarding single or double floats).

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

-i  type: infile
    desc: input image

-o  type: outfile
    desc: resulting output image

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

-t  type: integer
    desc: Choose type of mapping from COMPLEX to REAL
    allowed values:
    1 (Real part),
    2 (Imaginary part),
    3 (Magnitude),
    or 4 (Phase)

EXAMPLES
vctor -i wave.complex.xv -o wave.phase.xv -t 3

obtains the phase of the complex wavefront

RESTRICTIONS
Input images must be of type COMPLEX or DCOMPLEX.
