• `` rootname (output rootname when inputfile is a metadata)
• `` type (possible values are img,vol,stk; force the output type)

Examples and notes

• convert from spider to mrc

      xmipp_image_convert -i myfile.spi -o myfile.mrc

• convert from spider to tiff 32 bits

      xmipp_image_convert -i myfile.spi -o myfile.tiff --bits 32

• convert from raw to spider. Raw file size is 321x456 pixels, datatype float, headersize=1024 and ieee float numbers are in littleendiam (machine is bigendiam)

      xmipp_image_convert -i myfile.raw#321,456,1024,float,r -o
