PIXTOOLS is a package for the Silicon Graphics IRIS consisting of thirteen programs plus a library for operating on bitmap images. The image data structure is referred to as a PIXIMAGE. The programs allow the IRIS user to create and edit, perform screen saves, resize, and capture high-resolution images from the Sharp JX450 scanner. Images can be output to the QMS laser printer, the Tektronix 4693 color thermal printer, and the Matrix QCRZ film recorder. Additionally, PIX format images can be converted to SGI image format (and vice versa) or converted to PostScript format. PIX or SGI format images can be converted to ".ras" files which can be read by the "rasp" routine in the PLOT3D/AMES program (available from COSMIC), and ".ras" files can be converted to PIX files.
Eleven of the programs print information and read and write files while two, PIXSCAN and PIXEDIT, offer graphical interfaces. PIXEDIT uses the full IRIS screen as a drawing area and pop-up menus are available. The menus allow manipulation of images and background color, and saving the screen to a file. PIXSCAN is the user interface to the Sharp JX450 scanner. This program allows the user to do a preliminary scan of an image at low resolution, and then select an area to rescan in higher resolution into a file. PIXSCAN requires the user to have the "gpib" (IEEE 488) board and "libgpib.a" library from Silicon Graphics, Inc. User instructions for all the programs are provided in the form of UNIX on-line manual pages.
PIXTOOLS carries the NASA case number ARC-12830. It was originally released as part of the COSMIC collection.
