files: Inputfile is the SDDS input image file. This file can be either a single-column image file or a
multi-column image file.
Outputfile is a single-column SDDS image file if the Inputfile is a multi-column SDDS image file, or
it is a multi-column SDDS image file if the Inputfile is a single-column SDDS image
file.
switches:
-pipe[=in][,out] — The standard SDDS Toolkit pipe option.
-ascii — The Outputfile is written in ascii format.
-binary — The Outputfile is written in binary format.
-multicolumn=[indexName=name][,prefix=name] — The multi-column SDDS image
file will have or does have an index column with the name given by indexName=name.
The default name is Index. It also will have or does have multiple columns with the
prefix given by prefix=name. For an input file this defaults to the prefix of the first
column found that is not the index column and that ends with a number. For an output
file this defaults to the same name as the image column name in the single-column SDDS
image file.
-singlecolumn=[imageColumn=name][,xVariableName=name][,yVariableName=name]
— The single-column SDDS image file will have or does have an image column with
the name given by imageColumn=name. The default is the name of only column that
exists in the single-column input file or the image prefix in the multi-column input
file. If the output file is a single-column image file the xVariableName=name and
yVariableName=name options will be used to define the x and y variable names. These
default to x and y.
-nowarnings — No warnings will be issued when the input file is overwritten.
