NAME

float2txt - Converts big-endian binary float data to text.

SYNOPSIS

float2txt [decimal_places] [-linenum] [-components <N>]

DESCRIPTION

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

EXAMPLES

Output as text the floats stored as binary data in test.Bfloat:

cat test.Bfloat | float2txt

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.Bfloat | float2txt 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.
