pcb2png
pcb2png is a simple program that converts phosphoimager pcb/img files to png
format.
Requirements
Should compile and run on any Posix platform.
Needs PNG headers and libpng.
Getting
Latest version should be available from http://bioinformatics.org/pcb2png/
Installing
Unpack the archive. There are no configure scripts, not even a make file.
Compile the program :
gcc pcb2png.cxx -o pcb2png -lpng -lstdc++
If compiler or linker cannot find PNG files, set include (-I/usr/include)
and library (-L/usr/lib) flags to appropriate directories.
Manually copy the binary to somewhere on the path, like so:
cp pcb2png /usr/local/bin/
Usage
pcb2png NAME
Where NAME is the common part of the filename of .pcb and .img. PNG file
will be create in the current directory. The program was tested with 8 and 12
bit images. If the resulting image looks completely black, use normalize or
stretch contrast if your favorite graphics editor.
Todo list
- Convert the resolution
- Do the rotation corectly
- Get PNG to have correct bit depth.
