NAME

double2txt - Converts big-endian binary double data to text.

SYNOPSIS

double2txt [decimal_places] [-linenum] [-components <N>]

DESCRIPTION

Reads big-endian binary double precision floating point data from the standard input and outputs each double as text in scientific notation with six decimal places by default, although the number of decimal places can be specified, optionally, as the first command line argument.

EXAMPLES

Output as text the doubles stored as binary data in test.Bdouble:

cat test.Bdouble | double2txt

The output has the form:

5.500000E01
-1.003820E-01
-1.230454E01
-1.447965E01
4.998373E00
:

Specify 8 decimal places rather than the default 6:

cat test.Bdouble | double2txt 8

The output has the form:

5.50000000E01
-1.00381965E-01
-1.23045428E01
-1.44796451E01
4.99837343E00
:

OPTIONS

The first option is a single integer for the number of decimal places in the output. It is required if other options are specified.

-linenum: Print line numbers in output.
-components <N>: Assume output is voxel data with N components. Output will be annotated with voxel number and component number.
