B.3 Sun raster files
</H1>

<P>
The Sun raster file format consists of a header followed by a series
of unsigned 1-byte integers that represents the bit-pattern.  Bits
are scanline oriented, and each row must contain an even number of
bytes.  The predefined 1-bit
patterns in <A NAME="tex2html596"
  HREF="http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt"><B>GMT</B></A> have dimensions of 64 by 64, but other sizes will be
accepted when using the <B>-Gp<IMG
 WIDTH="8" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img21.gif"
 ALT="$\vert$">P</B> option.  The Sun header structure
is outline in Table&nbsp;<A HREF="node119.html#tbl:sunheader">B.2</A>.

Numerous public-domain programs exist, such as <I>xv</I><A NAME="13591"></A> and
<I>convert</I><A NAME="13596"></A> (in the ImageMagick package), that will translate
between various rasterfile formats such as tiff, gif, jpeg, and
Sun raster.  Raster patterns may be created with <A NAME="tex2html597"
  HREF="http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt"><B>GMT</B></A> plotting
tools by generating <I>PostScript</I> plots that can be rasterized
by <I>ghostscript</I><A NAME="13605"></A> and translated into the right raster format.
